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!

That would be so awesome! Sheik is like, the ultimate cosplay for me. I just don't have the lithe build for it though. You'd definitely have to get an ocarina! *shivers* Or maybe some throwing needle thingies a la Super Smash Bros!
Wander would be really great, too. Two awesome strong, quiet characters. Good luck!

STILL THE BEST 1973-FOREVER
I'll see what games are hot around then, unless I think of something super awesome thats still gonna be a hit in a year. I love putting effort into my costumes, here's a couple of my fav's...
Both Tim Burton Char's, Mad Hatter's next, but will have to put something PAX/game related for next year...
The easy way out would be just to go as a Smoker, I've got the body frame for it.
I might throw together a trainee costume just to get a picture with you guys.
Without the proton pack, just the meter, since we all know you cant just throw a proton pack on the new kid.
As for me, I have the following: Super Sailor Mars, Zoey (L4D), Mirror;s Edge girl, and I am in the procvess of making my costume for the creepy girl from Calling.

Maybe. Just a theory.

The witch seems to be a zombie that everyone's afraid of. Not seriously lights-on-at-night afraid, but love to be freaked out by her. Follow? I think if I hadn't been in character for the amount of time I was, for the time of [scratch]day[/scratch] night it was, and hadn't been in (let's admit it) basically only underwear, maybe I wouldn't have gotten as possitive of a responce. That, and L4D is a really popular game, so probably 75-90% of the attendees knew exactly what I was simply by the acting.
That's my thought.
I probably will go as the Witch as at least one day, I'm just not sure which one. Friday or Saturday, but which one....
It would be awesome if you could go Friday...because my friend and I had an idea. All credit goes to you, obviously, for being the most awesome witch ever. But my friend and I were inspired by your performance, we thought that maybe we could go as witches as well, on Friday. And then you'd have multiple witches walking around, crying in corners, scaring people, and occasionally shrieking and charging at random passersby.
We thought it would be cool to have a sort of...witch brigade. What do you think?
I think it's a wonderful idea. However, I think it'd work best if there were a TON of other infected (like 50 or more). One of the things that makes witches so attractive is the rarity factor. I think this plan would have been perfect for Anime Boston 2009, when there were infected absolutely everywhere. Too bad PAX isn't like that. : (
Though if you want to go as witches, I don't want to stop you. Do whatever you think is best. : )
I will definitely need to spend some time thinking about this...
EDIT: Ok, just ripped all the relevant audio from my installation of Portal. I have GladOS talking about the Companion Cube AND all of the audio from the Turrets, if I decide I want to try and make one of those.
We should rally up a lot of people who'd like to cosplay but don't know what as, and have them just go as infected. Anyone on the forums who wants to cosplay, really! Maybe that might work.
It would be wonderful to put people in a state of paranoia throughout the day thinking that a nearby witch in a corner could start chasing after them if they get too close, haha.
I think it's a great idea, but again I must think that the time may have passed to carry this out with the best results. I don't want to push this idea onto anyone else, and there are lots of other great cosplays to be had than becoming a small part of a large group that would really only benifit a few people. If the general concensus to that people really want to do this, then we might be able to pull it off with enough people.
And we gotta remember that the attendees probably want to feel safe most of the time, not paranoid, lol. (As much as we want to freak them out, we gotta give them breathing time : P )
@Facelesscog: you should cosplay whatever you want, wheelchair or not! Don't let that stop you from wearing your dream cosplay. : ) There can always be modifications to the costume to fit with a wheelchair if absolutely necissary, so don't sweat it! And the Companion Cube sounds awesome.
I got a new dremel so I'm refabricating the visor, also plan on adding lots of little things here and there to switch it to be more movie/lean Snake Eyes and less commando/tactical Snake Eyes. This should also help be more convention-friendly.
I'm tempted to actually take just the mask and one of my suits and be businessman Snake Eyes for shits and giggles.

I'd lol.
@Badjujuman: Dude you totally should! We'll be awaiting your decision.
Do this. Do this nine times.

Sounds like a good idea. Don't want to go to some important business meeting and have it go wrong.
Employer: "Is that a huge rip in your jacket?"
You: "Huh? Oh! How'd - ? ..... oh. Well... I was this videogame character this one time, and I had to, um...."
-awkward silence-
Me: No, katana pass-through.
--awkward silence--
Me: Oh don't worry I left it in the car. But you should still never speak of this again, for your own good.

Okay, so maybe I'm just not funny. : P
I laughed when I read yours, though.

Weighted Companion Cube Cookie Dispersal Unit:
This will hang on the back of my wheelchair and carry a nice supply of cookies for the Brigade!
GLaDOS Core Unit (carried on my lap, when built)
Custom audio files to be added to audio clips extracted from the game:
GLaDOS 2
GLaDOS 3
GLaDOS 4
If I can pull it off, it'll be awesome.
THAT IS AMAZING! *speechless* Now I want a cookie ... really bad ...
That's the idea.
Glad you like it.
Pssshhh, forget about that. Just cosplay what you want to do, and you'll be happy. If you're dead set on non-slim cosplays, perhaps Coach or Bill from L4D, or a Pokemon of some kind?

I'm with RainbowTunnel on this one. I'm not a small guy, and I found something to do. Granted, mine is a little...different?...but it's still something I'll enjoy! (And something that will, hopefully, attract more attention and therefore gather more victims...err...customers...for the Cookie Brigade!)
Of course, customers for the Cookie Brigade! What else would they be, right? : P
Idea 3: A Cardboard-tube Samurai, but not like Gabe. A bigger style, like the ones that would carry around a bigger weapon because of their frame. You get what I'm saying?
Kinda like guys like this:
So what do you guys think?
