PAX Prime 2012: In Photos

My thumbs hurt from using joysticks, my feet hurt from three days of convention walking (two of them in cosplay), and my liver is sobbing from the abuse I put it through. Yes, once again, I attended Penny Arcade Expo here in Seattle, WA: the biggest video game convention in the United States. This year the comic book presence was HUGE, what with Marvel vs Capcom, the Batman: Arkham games, etc. I saw many a Deadpool and Psylocke running amok. But don’t take my word for it… check out the photos I snapped while I was there!

  1. Thanks Molly.

    Curious to know what convention goers reactions were to the Cosplay in PAX028 in light of current events.
    We were a lot of Cosplayers brandishing realistic looking guns at Pax?

    • I don’t know about the Cons, but I know at the upcoming charity Serenity screening here in Dallas, the theater is asking people not to dress up at all.

    • @flakbait I’m from Dallas too, can you give me the details on this screening? I haven’t heard of this. Is it part of the Comic Con Fan Days Event in October where there will be a number of Firefly actors present?

  2. Nice photos. I was at dragoncon last weekend. Is there a way that i can share photos here?

  3. Cool!

    I actually recognized like 10 more things that I thought I would.

    That galaxy dress girl’s eyes are unsettling.

    Were they just giving out free Skrillex cuts?

  4. Sorry if this is a rude question but are people hooking up like crazy at these conventions with a lot of cosplayers? All the sexy outfits got to be getting people in the mood, and then if there is drinking at night its got to turn in to a huge hook up fest.

  5. Thanks for the pics, Molly! Looks like a great time. Maybe one of these days I’ll be lucky enough to make it up there for PAX…
