Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

A-aww thank you so much! Haha I am so unused to all these compliments, but now that I feel confident that my cosplaying skills aren't complete crap, I may opt for something more challenging.
Next PAX I really need to remember a camera...

I was a little embarrassed when I offered my hand, I should have remembered the rules! But he was so kind enough, taking the time to take a picture with me!
Haha, The Sessler will forever live on in our hearts. He was really going at it scratching his eyes. He must've been in awe of the PAX amazingness. Or us, haha.
To the person who is Bayonetta's friend ... that is amazing! She seemed like a cool chick and you guys must've put so much effort into her costume. Platinum, my husband, our friend, and I are really thinking about doing cosplay now because of your awesome influence.
Was happy to see some folks snapped a few pictures so I could see what the fuss was about (apart from the L4D witch, was told Bayonetta was one of the best people saw there, though I suspect people may have been a little biased). The costume does look great. You two did a really awesome job. I'm sure it did make it tougher to get around, though!

I'd post a picture it but it'd be kinda off topic since it's not at pax. :lol:

Also, the rest of my group and I posing with the Isaac cosplayer!
I love how he's a foot taller than us.

The whole set of 40 lives here on Flickr. The second set I'm working on is a collection of portraits of people who were kind enough to pose for a few moments. Tomorrow!
Ok, this is the best cosplay ever. Mystery cosplayer, I wish I would have seen you so that I could high five you and give you extra free cookies from the Cookie Brigade!
Mr. Utilikilt was my favorite enforcer, QuickSnap. He's an absolutely swell guy. My friend and I took a picture with him on Saturday, before the concert:
(I'm the one in the scarf. :B)
Also, hello forums! After attending PAXEast, I felt like I HAD to join the forums.
Going to PAX East? Challenge the PAX Pokemon League! (Check our website for more details)
These guys had such awesome costumes for characters from my second favorite game!
I want to know who it was and I will find them at the next PAX and hug them because they are amazing.
And hello to you, Propriety!
I find it pretty awesome that Utilikilt actually is a cool guy and didn't take the "Utilikilt Wearing <silly goose>" comments to heart and just went along with it. He deserves lots of props.
Chewbacca!
Fruit Fucker !
Bowser !
Bowser / Bulbusaur / Ditto and Sandshrew !
Sorry about the crappy quality
I posted a few more over in the Costumes Thread.
Sweetums:
Totoro looks more dejected than usual because he* (*in this case she) had just redonned her costume and was having wardrobe malfunctions. Knowing several people were waiting to snap a picture she gave up and settled for a dejected pose.
Zelda and Medli:
Cammy on duty in the main hallway:
Morrigan and Sephiroth posing politely despite the GIGANTIC MASSIVE CROWD of paparazzi following them wherever they go:
Someone from a PS3 version of Dead Space walking around:
Fruit Fucker was getting a lot of attention. The photo can't show it but he's gyrating those hips as any self respecting Fruit Fucker would:
Not sure who she was dressed as, and I was on the way to a panel so I couldn't stop for a better picture:
The 18 foot tall Bayonetta that's been getting so much attention:
Enforcers: "Who is in line for Wil Wheaton signatures?" <almost everyone raises their hand> "Who is here for Bill Amend?" <a decent handful of people raise their hands> "And who is here for Scott Kurz?" <one person raises their hand. Scott Kurz: "Fuck you all!" :lol:
Wil Wheaton signing next to Scott:
Good old half pony half monkey monster to please you:
This guy on the left seemed like a cool guy:
Bill Amend loves World of Warcraft so much he held it (and his 3 level 80 characters) largely responsible for switching Foxtrot to a once-a-week format:
Fun fun fun weekend.
Here's a few I took with my phone -

The rest of the set. I do apologize. Scroll back up to Bayonetta afterward and you'll feel better.
The rest of my PAX East photos
Thanks to anyone who can provide one. Sorry again for making a thread! I just can't seem to find one
My personal favorite costume:
And apologies to whoever this is, but it's too funny not to share:
Here's a link to my collection:

That's so sweet of you guys! You should definitely try cosplaying. It's so rewarding and is a lot of fun. I've never done it before so I picked a simple one [the scout], and I didn't think it looked too impressive, but even then a lot of people stopped me for pictures and it felt great. Her costume did take a crazy amount of work but we had a lot of people helping out with it :]
Haha yes, it was hard to navigate the con, but it was totally worth it.
Also, mei, your costume was amazing!! I freaked out when I saw you. Mass Effect is one of my favorite games and you really nailed the Cerberus outfit. But I was too shy to ask to go up and take a picture with you xD
And I'm a huge CTS fan so of course my favorite costume of PAX was:
To this awesome Cardboard Tube Samurai, I ask, where was your cardboard tube?!
If there are any problems with the links or the pictures, please let me know.
Whats up dude! I was playing Rockband with you on Saturday night. We had played Metallica Battery, and few others, I was the guy with the huge beard. Hope the rest of you time at PAX was well enjoyed like mine.
Sexual favors, make you dinner, blahblahblah.

Though I did get some nice shots of the crowd during RE: Your Brains. Also I learned always bring a REAL camera to preserve your cherished memories.

The cameras not the best but it did the job. PM if you want any higher resolution images.
Oh wow, there was a Batman?
This is me doing my best Khoo impression:
This is the greatest. Truly amazing. Do you think he looks just above the blue lights, how does it work?
I have no idea how it works. I'm just going to go ahead and pretend he's actually a robot.
Or if he is on these forums, he could spoil the magic trick by telling us if he could actually see.
lol yeah he was at the g4 xplay panel, blair herter called him out and said "id like to thank batman for showing up and taking time from his busy schedule fighting crime"
was pretty funny.
