PAX cosplay?

KragNaroK · April 2008

Just wonering what I might see from others. Myself and 3 others are going as red tf2 classes ( my 6 ft 6 fat person will be toting around sasha if I can get it cross the border) just wondering what I'll see

BigRed · April 2008

Theres been some. Cosplaying as TF2 is win.

North · April 2008

Cosplay at PAX is sparse but it's always there.

randomguy · April 2008

Screw cosplay, the mighty monarch is into COSBIZNESS !!!

MasterHelios · April 2008

I'm going as the BLU engineer, complete with carved-foam wrench.
Y'all RED team better watch out, 'fore ya git plugged, y'hear?

VThornheart · April 2008

I'm kind of thinking that I should go as one of those fat bad guys in Final Fight.

Trouble is, I'd have to dress fancier than my usual attire.

HotSake · April 2008

I have...plans. Plans that I shall not reveal yet lest they go the way of all my plans (dropped like a bad habit).

AltDelete · April 2008

On the topic - I'm looking for 8 others to cosplay as the "Red" team from TF2, by wearing identical blue suits and masks while toting cigarette cases and electrosappers. PM me if you're interested.

Last year I dressed up as a guy from the time and place of the Penny Arcade game. Which is to say, I dressed like a paperboy from the 1920's or 30's.

However, not many people realized that I was in fact wearing a costume. I think that the average person saw me and thought that I had a slightly unusual fashion sense.

My old thread from the Precipice forum:

I will have to re-upload the pics I took of myself in costume.

LewieP · April 2008

The only way I would do cosplay would be if I could think of a funny/original costume.

I will post here again if I do.

Dressing up Steampunk style for PAX sounds like fun.

To make room for a custome though, Id have to sacrifice luggage space that is reserved for liquor bottles.....
Yeah, im not willing to do that :P

Lyanth · April 2008

I fully intend on cosplaying all of PAX. I have already completed my Navi costume, which I wore to Sakura Con '08, in case anyone saw me then. As for my other costume, I'll see if I get it done it time. Until then it's top secret~

LewieP · April 2008

Oh God, you have to tell everyone to "Hey! Listen!"

It will be glorious.

Please excuse the watch and the burly hairy man legs.

Fooswashere1 · April 2008

I might just go as the blue scout so I can have an outfit that matches my messenger bag.

I know it is not the right color for the costume but it is still awesome.

ploogle · April 2008

I made plans for an amazing costume. All I want to say is that I've googled it, and all I've seen is crap compared to what mine is going to be.

SAPPIN MAH SENTRY!

I'm actually seriously considering making a cardboard sentry and set it up somewhere, with my cell number on it, so if anyone sees a sapper on it, they can text me and I'll have to yell SPY SAPPIN MAH SENTRY and run off xDD
I'll be watching you, altdelete 8|

oh and in light of the RED spyspam if we could get a BLU pyro that's be great =P
And what's with everyone on RED? PAX needs an autobalance.

I suggest taking the blades off an old oscillating table or floor fan and building your sentry around it. That'll make it move as well, which would be the tits.

Seriously, I loved some of the costumes I saw last year. Well done costumes are always fun.

BrennaCeDria · April 2008

I love the idea of cosplay (I'll spend hours looking at costumes from any recent cons when I have time), and if I were going to AWA, DragonCon, etc, I'd almost definitely put something together. However, considering that I'm having to fly from a minor airport on the East coast, there is no room for costumes of any kind in my budget. I do plan on taking pictures of any cosplayer that allows me to do so, however.

VThornheart · April 2008

I'll dress up in a video game character costume (God knows I did to win my Gamecube

), but I won't call it Cosplay. I think there's some kind of negative perception associated with that particular term. I cringe when I hear it.

My friend asked every cosplayer we came across if he could take their picture, and all of them were totally cool with it.

Yeah, I never had a problem with it. If you go to a convention wearing a costume, you're pretty much saying "LOOK AT ME! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!"

Except for Prince Peach last year. What a surly fellow.

Sequential_Combo · April 2008

I would like to cosplay, but I'm way too shy. I also can't sew.
Considering I wanted to go as Telma from Twilight Princess, this may present a problem.
Ah well, there's always next year.

Moe Fwacky · April 2008

I think man-peach lost a bet last year, which is reason enough to be surly, I suppose, but on top of that he ended up getting hundreds of pictures taken of him and spread all over the internet.

Let this be a lesson to you all, never agree to a bet that involves drawing attention to yourself at pax

HotSake · April 2008

Yeah, but he could have run with it and been awesome. You gotta own up to that kind of thing. Embrace it.

hehe yeah ^^ a major part of the costume is a sign that I have that says "Hey! Listen!" all over it

and also, I am very prepared for threats of violence from angry Zelda players (I don't think anyone would actualy hurt me for being Navi. I hope...)

SWAT THAT PEST!!
(Nah, just kiddin'...Navi's kinda cute, in a way... ;P )

About the cosplay thingie...I guess I could give it a try, got a couple somewhere

Ahh, the sarcasm~

but yeah, I find cosplay to be pretty easy, if you do it right.

Baseball cap + striped shirt + shorts + baseball bat = NESS!

tada! see? cosplay can be a totaly sinch if you ask me.

Megamaniaco · April 2008

Yeah, guess you're right...I could work out a Seraph cosplay (the Guardian of the Oracle...Matrix, anyone?)
Also got a Gackt cosplay somewhere aaaaand maybe a little something starting with "Ja" and ending with "ffa" :P

Accelerate!

I have no idea what an oscillating table or a floor fan is, but thanks for the advice.
*google*

Edit: wow I'm a dumbass. I thought you meant a table that oscillated.
Yes that would be epic as hell. Except I would need a place to plug it in, or else find one that runs on batteries.

Hmm... if you jury rigged it a bit, I bet you could rewire it to pull its energy from a battery. That could be really cool too, as you could incorporate the (possibly bulky, depending on size needed) battery into the appearance and design of the turret itself.

If I were able to pull that off, I don't think I would wear anything else, ever ;-)

You, my friend, are made of WIN.

Is it metal on the front (to make it all shiny and metal-looking), or is it a metallic paint? Very cool!

EDIT: Would they hassle you at the border for a shield? I mean, a shield is primarily a defensive device. If it was a sword, I could see some trouble. But if they hassle you for taking a home-made shield, they might as well hassle you for bringing your car (as it could theoretically be used to injure or kill someone)

I can see them hassling someone for it... but I think that sucks if they do.

lol awesome! Just attach it to the hood of your car before you hit the border, it'll look like an awesomely oversized hood ornament...
