Haha, I'm totally pleased I get the honor of being the first dame who shaved my head for Brothers in Arms. God I hope they actually send the game!

So who else went bald for free swag?

    I did it, but I shave my head anyways. I guess it was good I didn't shave it again right before PAX. It gave him a thin layer to shave.

    i wanted to do that, because my head is already shaved, but i didn't want them to paint "HELL" on the back of my head, that really wasn't cool that they were doing that.

    One of my buddies is in the marine reserves, so his head is nearly shaved already. He went to it, they went over him a few times with the razor, and just spraypainted HELL on his head. Easiest $60 I've seen someone make.

    I did it. I keep my hair short anyway, and it was nearly time for a hair cut, so it wasn't a big deal, and the "HELL" came right off in the shower that night.

    I totally would of, but I don't tend to pay attention to things and missed the part where you got the game for free... I'm not even particularly interested in the game, but it was free. Plus you got to play Line to wait for it. Line was, by far, the game I played most this year. I need a haircut too... oh well.

    I almost did it, but I've had bad luck in the past with temporary hair coloring staying around for 6 months.

    You get suckered into that line, let me tell you. I was 14 people back and after an hour you didn't want to leave after investing so much time already. Ended up waiting two and a half hours, but I met some cool people in line!

    That barber was pretty good too, he wasn't just shaving people's hair off as fast as possible. While waiting it was like "come on guy it's just a quick shave!" but once up there it was like "cool take your time and do it right :P"

    Did gearbox do the other Brother's in Arms games?

    My wife wanted to! The entire weekend she kept saying 'I really need to get my hair cut.' I told her i'd bring her to the salon on floor 1 of the convention hall, and when she saw that booth she's like 'I'm just going to get my head shaved!' I told her she can do whatever she wants with her hair, and she said she'd donate her hair to 'Locks of love'... but she didn't want to wait in the line.

    Too bad... i guess, I kind of wanted the game.

    I'm kinda glad I went first thing Saturday morning now. I waited about 30 minutes in line, and felt like that was pushing my bounds of patience. I couldn't have lasted 2 and a half hours.

    I was driving some out-of-towner friends around, and I kept complaining about being blinded. They responded with "You see, where we come from, people tend to wear Sunglasses." I retorted with a simple "You people tend to have sun."
