Sorry if it's been asked but what's this about two people getting banned at PAX? Anyone know about that.
One guy use to be on TechTV and pulled down his pants and did a dance on stage or something. Dude got a life ban for that.
And the other is the woman who won that contest to dress up as Lollipop Chainsaws character, she was fine for first day in the cheer leader costume, then when she did another costume on day two she was asked to change, went back to the original one and was still asked to change or leave from what I hear.
So curious to hear if anyone saw first hand or whatever.

It was me.
EDIT: To clarify I was the one in the cheerleader outfit.
I recall last year, The Duke Nukem guys had booth babes. And so did Turtle Beach, and then if you won anything they made you have a picture taken. Which lead to this super uncomfortable experience that I cannot find the picture of
PAX doesn't allow booth babes, but I thought people dressed as characters were fine? Which she was.
I saw some women who had that booth babe look around them
also I am back after 12 hours of driving in 4 days

From my understanding, they basically need to exist for a reason outside of just being there to be "sexy" or whatever. That means being knowledgeable in the game or being dressed as a character/playing a characters role.

From what I've heard about this incident it seems like a really odd decision to me.
I understand not allowing booth babes in the 'traditional' sense a la old style E3, but this seems WAY overzealous. Would this have been a decision made by a single enforcer or what?

IIRC, they are allowed if and only if they are knowledgeable about the game they are peddling.

I'm all for banning booth babes because of the fact that they're there purely for aesthetics and are derogatory to the convention as a whole, benefiting nobody, and that the very idea of booth babes is both insulting to convention goers and women alike. But it seems like she got kicked out because of some HURR DURR FAMILY VALUES bullshit, which I don't agree with at all.

PAX is supposed to be PG-13 in every aspect but language.

does that means no 18+ games can be played / advertised there?

False alarm.

I will be there soon.
