    No, I'm going as the main character from Persona 4. His first weapon is a golf club. It's not key to the costume, but it's a funny accessory for people who know the game. I'll probably leave the club at my hotel and just carry a tarot card.
    But if you like I'd be happy to arrange a photo op of my attacking Andrew Ryan with a golf club!

    That would be so funny! You guys could have a duel - he's bringing his golf club, too.

    Have a duel, and then get kicked out! Sounds wonderful, don't it?

    I'd say it depends on what it's made of and how much harm it looks like it can cause.

    The master sword has slain demons for centuries, is the weapon of the hero, and deflect lightning bolts.

    Except I don't think that one was made out of really thin pressed wood and held together with Elmer's Glue.

    It should be good, but if you want to play it safe I'd have a place to put it (like a hotel room) if they don't want you to be carrying it around.

    So I hear that you guys need a Louis. I plan as going as Louis and it is a good thing I'm dark too :D. The no guns will be difficult, oh well, I can make it out of styrofoam. My head will be bald-ish too, not sure if I should shave it or get a bald fade. And trust me I'll bring plenty of PEELS. Now question, does it seem out of character for Louis to bring a melee weapon or should I stick with a molotov (probably will be made of plastic or foam)?

    I have a Codex costume that I put a lot of time and effort into, and planned on wearing to a convention this year...I keep going back and forth on whether to bring it to PAX or not.

    @ Willmannyeatthat - Sweeeet you should totally shave your head. Bald guys are the best. Well, okay, mustaches/beards totally win that one out.... but the <i>next</i> most awesome hair is no hair at all!

    @ Aerynkelly - if you're Codex on friday, I will actively seek you out in a non-stalker way, and take your picture. I love The Guild, and it would totally make my weekend!

    i was thinking you guys might be able to get me some feedback on a costume idea i had- what about link as a rabbit from link to the past? it would be awesome! but the more i think about it, the more i realize its probably going to be really difficult to find both a rabbit costume and a link costume. someone who already has one should do it. I've never seen it done before.

    Some of my friends and I are dressing up as L4D and L4D2 characters, so far we've got:
    Zoey, Nick, Ellis, and a Hunter
    And I've got to say, my Zoey costume is coming along damn fine!

    I plan on coming along as a HL2 Rebel. My boyfriend might as well. No monies for a really cool costume. :/
    Frustrating that we probably shouldn't have guns, as I'll feel rather un-rebel like without my pistol!

    Someone HAS to come dressed as Gordon Freeman. So I can FOLLOW YOU. :O

    Keep in mind this is a rule for your own safety and convenience. The convention is in a public building at the heart of a major metropolitan area. Security and convention center staff will be all over the place, plus Enforcers. Bringing something that looks like a gun, behaves like a gun, and gets the same reactions as a gun is a bad idea.

    The monkeys were held up in customs and shipped back, so I don't think I'll be able to dress up.

    Now I have to figure out what to do with all this curry.

    One of my other hobbies is historical reenacting/costuming, mostly from the regency era (1800-1820). So my husband and I are wearing our regency outfits accessorized to be Darcy and Lizzie from Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. We're planning to do this on Saturday.

    Questions for all of you:

    What day do you plan on dressing up? Do you guys wanna meet for some photos? I'm sure if we all gather up in one area we could pose and people from the press (destructoid or kotaku) would take notice.
