i apologise especially to any and all girls who were offended by my comment i was merly trying to be part of the community and make someone somewhere smile it had no merit whatsoever and was nothing more then a joke based on the comment before my post and was in no way shape or form meant to offend anyone for any reason what so ever. i understand how hard it is for gamer girls to attend these functions for fear of exactly what i said and i commend you for getting over that fear to enjoy something you like to do. and yes now that i see how you all react to that first hand i see how bad it is to make such comments. i will refrain from any and all comments based on that in the future, or anything that might offend anyone in general.
and o be offical "I am sorry for my offensive comment I made."
Sorry to make you the sacrificial lamb, but these comments keep coming up with more frequency lately, not less.
I wasn't going to do this as chances are high my hair will change again or something before PAX and wearing glasses completely changes the way I look (I will be wearing glasses most of PAX), but here is a picture of me after a long night on the radio.
Joke or not, the point needs to be made about WHY we frown upon "PAX is a dating service". Take note of the picture above. The picture was meant to be a simple, "here I am at PAX" picture and instead turned into a "creepy, I'm blatantly checking out your ass picture." It's things like this that leave a sour taste with women that go to PAX.
So we, as a community, strive to keep this behavior to a minimum for the enjoyment of everyone involved. So please, if anyone has anything to do with "finding a gamer chick" on your things to do at PAX list, just drop that idea out of your mind.
Hi there, in the guy's defense it looks like he is angry and in motion not stopped and appreciating anything.
Oh here is a picture of me appreciating something, notice the lack of angry face.

Also in defense to dude who may or may not be ass checking, anyone's ass is at risk for lookily loos anytime one leaves the house. There is no such place as a safe zone for people who check out asses etc.
Now if dude walked up and grabbed said ass, then that would be a tad bit of an issue.
Grabbing of ass is when you start stabbing sharp objects into people right Djiem? ;P
Indeed, and anyone who says otherwise supports rape, right? :P
(We tease because we love. At least I do. Maybe BA wants to kill me. I wouldn't put it past her)

Dear everyone, Please do not turn the picture thread into the "PAX is not a dating service" thread. I meant this thread to be annoying enough with the pictures.
Lets see if we can get this back on the right track.
This is me. I look a little weird because I'm holding my sister's veil at her wedding while she has a smoke and the wind was blowing the smoke right into my face and the veil right into her cigarette.

Obligatory post I make every year stating amount of women I've met at PAX: 5
(attracted said women by being cheery and out going and sociable)
Notice: People of opposite genders with similar interests are attracted to each other.
Also Notice: Single people will look for suitable mates around them.
Notice this Notice: Due to the inherent introverted nature of most gamers/nerds, such an event as PAX would be an excellent opportunity to practice and develop social skills twoard these ends.
Yes some people might come off creepy, but if you think that women are so fragile as to be unable to handle the attentions of single males then I'm not sure you live in the same world as I do.

Shade you said it, do you have some kinda twitter or other way to get ahold of you? You so need to show up at some of the PAX After/Pre - Party events.

well i'd better post some pics else people won't recognize me and come up to me all day asking to touch my hat. Not that anyone would want to touch my hat.
these are my most recent pictures. . .
though don't expect me to be dressed as a jedi at PAX
I should be easy to spot, my brother and I can often be seen filming something

Bum?
Note to self: wear longer shirts and/or oversized hoodie/jacket. lols
Maybe I'll wear the jacket Insomniac gave me so I can distract people away from mah bum....:\

I'd like to respectfully disagree...
All those points are very debtable and vary with each person.
For points 2 and 3; personally, I like being single so I doubt I'll be scouting for a 'mate'. I'm going to pax to play my beloved video games, not look for a bf or develope my social skills. I may be anti-social, but not socially akward.

That jacket is a thousand different kinds of freaking awesome.
All I have is a hat and a shirt (not shown)
I'm the short one in the white t-shirt, that isn't Pinder, Snickers, or Emorimiku.

Every person you meet, you subconsciously judge by a breeding criteria. Hence: mate and not boyfriend/girlfriend. You might not be looking but if a certain number of traits get checked off bam vasopressin/oxytocin kick in and it's not your conscious mind's choice whether you like them or not.
And as such: Your constantly being judged and evaluated yourself. That's the way the species continues. No matter where you go people will assess you as a potential mate.
Is it reasonable to expect people to not be assholes about it?
Yes.
Is it reasonable to ask a large amount of people gathered in one place not to interact? See? Hear? Or otherwise judge someone to be attractive?
No.
Also, a large part of the attraction of PAX is to be around other gamers/nerds. Its a place where you can be yourself around the things you love with other people who share your interest. A place that if I say I want to tap something, I don't mean a keg, but 2 mountains so I can cast Kindle to do 2 damage and an additional 1 for each kindle already in my graveyard.
After all this thread itself is ABOUT posting pictures of yourself so that other people know what you look like.
So the question to ask yourself is:
Is it reasonable to be offended when someone indicates that they find you attractive?

Wow essay much? lol jk
To reply....
Wow I must not be human then, because I rarely; and I do mean rarely, ever asset others for being a potentional 'mate', etc. On the whole, I honestly could care less about the whole ordeal of that 'other' or attraction.
But you're right, this thread is to post photos of yourself, which I did, but mainly for lawls and boredom and cause I am far to lazy to read through the other threads that don't have shiny pictures in them to keep me entertained.
To answer you question in a personal manner: I don't find it offensive (well sometimes, when I'm called 'fu**ing hot cause it makes me feel like a whoreish piece of meat) but I just don't know how to take 'comments' I guess. I never got many growing up, so when given one now, I don't know how to respond but with a sarcastic remark.
ANYWAYS. rawr at this topic, back to posting shtuffz. (V V tis me rawring.. get it? AHAHA I'm witty. like a tree. a dead one. a very bored and dead one. with a cat beside it. and some bird poopy on a branch. >.> )
(In all honesty, I am very bored and tired right now, lol, so please excuse the randomness of this post and the, I'm sure, lack of intelligance. I'm just posting/replying to this 'issue'/topic/discussion for the lawls. But all seriousiness, back to the MAIN topic of this thread. )
This one was mailed to me with a note that simply said "BANG!". That, or it was on the streets of Bellvue after PAX '07.
This is me and some buddies on Halloween 2000. I'm on the left. 1000 points to whoever can correctly guess who I am supposed to be (it's a really crappy costume). Werezwolf doesn't count because he's in the picture as well.

Disregard the horribly GIMPed background, this is from my early image manipulation days.

I guess what she's holding she stole from him, and he's going "Hey, THAT'S the girl who took my shit!"
