A week and a half ago was the Penny Arcade Expo here in Seattle. This has become a costuming staple for my crew and me. Last year we went as the characters from Star Craft 2 and the previous year we we team blue from Team Fortress 2.
This year’s show trumped all previous attempts at a gaming convention by a long shot. There were so many amazing video games being demoed at PAX that my head nearly exploded! I got to play or watch people play a few that stood out: Guild Wars 2, Batman Arkham City, Firefall, Wildstar Online, and many, many more.
The real kicker for me was the costuming (of course). PAX is still in it’s fledgling stages of being a serious costuming convention, but there were a handful of really amazing costumes at the show. Also, at a Dragon Age 2 panel, the Bioware folks pulled us costumers out of the line, had us sit up front, and acknowledged us during the panel! Awesome!
I took a bunch of photos too. A couple of my favorites are below and you can go to my flickr photostream to see the rest.
