The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
This may seem a silly question, as it is a well-known and documented fact that There Are No Girls On the Internet, but will there be girly-sized official PAX shirts available for purchase? Last year I had to settle for buying a men's small which is HUGE on me, I haven't been able to wear it anywhere.
So I'm basically not sure if this is an issue worthy of a quick e-mail to... Whoever would be in the know on such things. Figured I'd try asking here first on the off-chance that whoever it is happens to be forum-whoring.

My memory sucks, but I do seem to recall PAX '0Whatever shirts being available in ladies sizes. Keep in mind though that the store doesn't have seperate stock for each days, so if your size runs out an hour after the doors open on Friday, then they're out period.

Ah, then the solution is to camp the merch booth, I suppose... I can't remember exactly when I went to get mine last year so it might have been in the second or third day.
Thanks for the response.

Another question, this one that has to do with the prices, as it would be a little wierd trying to see a XX guy fitting into a woman-sized t-shirt, but how much are the size costs? I need to find out how much money I need to bring, so I can get all the other cool stuff im looking for.

I'm curious on prices as well. Last year was too much of a swirling awesome blur that i have no clue. @_@
Also; any guesses on how many swag shirts we'll get this year? My guess is 8-10. Last year I think I only got 4-5
My guess would be that the price of the shirts will reflect the price of most PA shirts, so you could get an idea of what to expect from the online store.
The number of swag shirts you get is entirely dependent on how you play the expo hall floor, and how many exhibitors are handing out shirts. That being said, the hunt is ON! Good luck, have fun. :P
from what i can remember... the shirts were about 20
and as for the swag shirts... it depends on how much of the hunt you are on for free shirts... you can get anywhere from 0 to 30 (ok so 30 is a tad bit of an exaggeration) but... in any sense... you can get a lot of shirts if you really want them

Most of them are pretty horrible though. The only PAX related shirts I ever end up keeping are ones I pay for.
I'm thinking of taking only one shirt with me, and wearing swagge shirts every other day. But, it sounds like they are kinda lame, so I may have to rethink my strategy.
I may just have to pick and choose which clothing I wish to wear. Only problem is Im in a veritable dust-bowl of shirts, as I cannot find any that I would be willing to wear.
I got a pretty sweet Pirates of the Burning Sea swag shirt last year that says "Support Piracy".
Oh god I love those ones! They had them in child sizes too so I actually managed to get one that fit, and damn but those things are comfy.

i dont think i wear any of my swag shirts. example; i got a "getting booty since 1920" shirt.
...Never even worn it.
I got 2 parappa shirts and i wear that. I got a toddler size one (wtf) and put it on a teddy bear.
I caught a medium and asked if i could swap it for a small, they couldn't find a small but found a kids large and i was like EVEN BETTER! And they let me give my friend the medium.
I think that's the only swag shirt i actually wore.

I gave my Pirate ones away (they were XL and I'm far from a XL). Not sure what happened to most of the others, but I do have the Nvida one as a pajama shirt. It's easily the most comfortable/stylish one from last year.
I got a Martinis&Men shirt that says "Wanna Play?" on the front, but the only available size the vendor could find is XXL. o_O Luckily, that shirt is extremely comfy for sleeping.
I actually had a girly-sized Pong shirt thrown at my head last year (I think the vendor was trying some bizarre form of flirting, because he then proceeded to try and chat me up. I'm like, you just hit me in the face with a shirt?? Not the best intro...) It's a women's large though, far too big. Anybody want it? Haha. Maybe I'll try some of that t-shirt surgery stuff on it. Make a preppy hoodie out of it or something.

Does anyone remember the cannons from the Pirates Of The Burning Sea booth? Those caught a few people off guard, lol. And so you're saying that hitting girls in the face is a bad pick-up line? Hmm, I guess they we're right when they said that I should grow up...
I thought you had to get through the line and play to get ONE sticker, and spent so much time trying to collect them by playing. I only managed to get in 3 plays (what, the line was hugenormous and I like panels) and was all sad, and then the guy at the booth was like, hey, take whatever stickers you want.
So now four of them grace the back of my laptop, which is the most awesome computer adornment that I have.
I've actually got a plan for this year. During the CCST trip over, I'm going to be wearing clothes that I own that are crap. (Torn, stained, etc.) and then everytime I change clothes during the trip... just throw the dirty clothes away. Then the suitcase filled with the CCST clothes will turn into a swag bag for whatever I get at PAX, and on the way back home, just wear whatever swag shirts I get.

And hope to god they give out those free Playstation boxers again.

Oooo.... good point, I never thought about that part of the plan.
Nice! Thanks Robert! PA Merch booth is definitely my first stop now, get 'em before they have a chance to sell out again.

Ahhhh, the Merch is pleased. PAX last year avoided a potential visit from his alter ego.

I actually like the nVidia one from last year. Most other freebie shirts suck though.
and to a beauty and the geeks party too lol

I asked to take a few extra for website giveaways.
I thought the "Uncharted" shirts were pretty sweet, and I also ended up with 1UP and PotBS shirts, both in women's sizes.

Also, the Burning Sea shirts haven't changed since 2005. That disappoints me.
