    This needs to be said now before it is too late: If some girl shows up as Taokaka from BlazBlue, you will be the hero of the convention. It must be said. Additionally, I hope for the sake of everyone at PAX that you show up for this. :D

    Hot dang, I have my costume done. Well, it's really just a hat and backpack, but whatever~

    I'll also be switching to my metroid hat and Mr. Saturn hat whenever the mood suits me.

    To all of you attending PAX in costume this year:

    I hope you all have a great time and enjoy getting together and revelling in your collective awesome/lameness (it's a fine line we walk). I'm sad that I can't be there this year but I wanted everyone to have the best experience possible, so I hope you have as much fun if not even more (if that's possible) than I had last year. PAX has always been about bringing gamers together, costumed or not, so go meet some awesome people.

    And show 'em how much you kick ass.


    I'll see you at PAX-East.

    I am kicking myself, I just realized that if I had gotten the clothes, I could have packed hella jam jars with Green Tea Lemonade from starbucks with my discount, maybe a few black tea Lemonade for color and variety.

    Maybe even a passion tea lemonade so that I could have a conversation with a female medic.

    Looks like I'll be cosplaying on Saturday, rather than Friday, as per the request of the boyfriend. =P
    As a reminder, I'll be cosplaying Leaf from Pokemon Fire Red/ Leaf Green. I'll look like this...

    I'm cosplaying on Friday as Earl, of Toe Jam and Earl.

    :D

    Incidentally, find me somewhere from 3-4 as I will be handing out a special goodie courtesy of our friends at Microsoft. Mr. Canada, aka Kamshaft from Xbox Addict will be helping me, but he's not cosplaying. He's just coming as a Canadian, eh.

    Hah, that reminds me of my friend's comment when I wore my ODST costume to the Gamestop Tour event.

    "It's awesome that you made it...I think the geekiness came on when you decided to wear it".

    Hope to see everyone at the gathering!

    Was going to try and cosplay as Kate Libby from Hackers but figured it would be too obscure - got the haircut anyhow and am pleased with the results. If anyone else wants to dress up as Kate in future, I blogged about her outfits and did a bunch of useful screencaps, here: http://www.pipesdreams.org/blog/archives/1758

    Well, everything is ready for the troll shaman from WoW. I'm taking the lightrail to the convention center like I did today though, and am a little nervous of what the other passengers might think. I don't care, per se, but I just hope its well received and not intimidating for them!

    I did see the girl with the red mane, really hard to miss, great job !

    TEAM FORTRESS 22222!!!
    Sooo when's our meetup?
    I myself only plan on dressing up Saturday as this seems like a good middle
    and quite frankly I don't think my costume can last more than a day (after a few last minute repairs before leaving the house...)

    Sooo has a time and place been specified or should I name one?

    Hrm... how about 1pm outside the BYOC area? or somewhere elses that's less populated perhaps.
    Lemme know!

    Details were posted in the OP. 12:30 at Freeway Park, out back of the center. If weather is poor, the main foyer.

    Yeah, it seemed like a big group of TF2 people did their photos sometime between 12:00 and 12:30, but a lot of people left before then, and then there wasn't really any group organization at 12:30 to gather people together. Still nice to see a good number of people there, though.

    Woot saw some awesome cosplays - you spys are so slick looking, and Guile was great too. The cute asian in the pikachu costume was great, I hope I can find the picture his friend took with me.

    Thanks for all the wonderful feedback on my costume and if you have any pics you want to share with me just send me an email chrisstie@gmail.com

    thanks and looking forward to this sunday and pax2010!

    Man I had a complete blast, I was surprised so many people wanted their pictures with me. Unfortenuly my costume took a huge beating, my boots got dirty and the buttons started to come off, luckily this all happend after I got back to the hotel.

    Man turns out we forgot the SD card for the camera so I have no single picture of me or you guys. When it snows later this year I'll fix up my costume and take some good pictures.

    I loved seeing you guys in costume, I know I caught a few of you though it wasn't at the meetup. I do have a ton of pics on my sister's cellphone though :)

    Just wanted to say thanks to all of the TF2 cosplayers I saw during days one and two. I was especially impressed with some of the weapons many of you brought. If anyone was wondering who the blue spy in the Fancy Fedora was, it was me. I was a tad late to the first meet up.

    Cool stuff! My friend was Spider Man... I think he got a picture with you. Apparently your figure fit the penguin costume perfectly (no offense)

    EDIT: also thanks to all the TF2 people especially the Soldier and pyro I got to heal! You made my day!

    Will post pics up here tomorrow when the post-PAX fatigue has worn off.

    Hahahaha, none taken! :-P That's actually one of the main reasons I chose the Penguin; I can't pull off a Renton or a Yagami Light like I'd want to, but luckily actors and actresses are human too, and come in all shapes and sizes :-)

    Hey, your buddy had an GREAT Spider Man costume. I saw him first over at the Gaming Mana booth playing something, and got a good assassination pic because I didn't want to interrupt his game :-P PM me or have him PM me if he wants a link to the pic when I get them uploaded!

    Millislim: Woah, that was you! :shock: I was horrible with getting pics as well, I'm so Googling yours :-P

    man I wish I could have stayed in my costume longer... Was planning on staying in it all of Saturday but it was just too damn hot!
    I'll have to perfect/tweak it for next year...
    More ventilation and a lighter medi-gun... will have to figure something out for the gloves too...

    Oy you Vancouver peoples! Send me your steam information! We'll have to exchange costume ideas and whatnot. I was not happy with my costume and I'd like to perfect it for next year at AE...

    Overall though, I saw a LOT of TF2 costumes! Was soooo happy too see that Soldier.

    And now for a picture of me in front of the first aid room :winky:
