RIP PAX?

So, let me get this straight: the booth babes at PAX East are not booth babes because they are technically considered cosplayers? Uh-huh. And just what game are the booth babes at Gunnar Optiks cosplaying?

And a planned Dickwolf t-shirt flashmob?

RIP PAX?

Didn't hear about the ones at Gunnar Optiks. But the complaints about the Duke Nukem cosplayers is ridiculous. If you know the slightest thing about Duke Nukem you know that it isn't demeaning girls, it's joking about demeaning girls...that's the whole point of Duke Nukem. Making fun of the machismo, masuline, vulgar stereotype of buff men.

RIP bad thread.

Whether or not the booth babes were exclusive to the Duke Nukem booth (they weren't) is irrelevant. No booth babes means no booth babes. Was it not made clear back with the poll that PAX attendees said they didn't want them?

If PAX is going to be turned into E3 Junior, then at least have the courage to come right out and say it is. Otherwise, please don't let those of us who appreciate earlier iterations of PAX be disappointed by an event that's not as "all-ages" and "for everyone" as it claims to be.

Dude, I don't know about the statement that the DNF babes were making.

They looked really, really young.

I'll leave it at the fact that it was a little uncomfortable - particularly with the throne and everything.
