PAX East. Lets see who is going. Who's taking photos? Who's cosplaying?

I'm cosplaying some old shit.

>> No.9351248

I bought a Saturday pass, but I'm thinking about selling it because I don't see anyone talking about it or scheduling shoots for it.

People shoot, it's just difficult because there's not a whole lot of space and the lighting is kind of meh. It'd be nice to have more photographers though, if you drop your name in one of the facebook groups I'm sure you'll get some bites.

to answer your question, not sure what to cosplay yet. Ordered something, if it gets here I'll wear that, if not, probably some old TF2 cosplay for one last run.

It's my first year not going. I went to East and West last year and other than the League of Legends content creater party (which was in the Riftwalk, pretty awesome) they were both huge letdowns in regards to booths and nightlife.

I've been to almost every PAX East and a few smaller cons. I've been to a lot of NY comic cons. I actually find the PAX East community to be the nicest and friendliest. Going solo? If you aren't super shy, you will probably be able to make a lot of friends there.

PAX started out as a pure gaming con, so there's little to no cosplay culture since costumes get in the way when you're playing vidya/tabletop, which is what most people go for.

>> No.9365460

>>9365389
I can see that, but it had evolved so much since when it first started. Like some previous posters said, there is some of the best cosplay I seen here.

I guess a lot of people here are focused on cosplay contests and celebrities? That's the only thing I can figure, since that is what PAX doesn't have.

>> No.9366520

>>9365460
well PAX does have a few of those, but they're uncommon, as said. I think it more has to do with people's interests. A lot of people aren't always interested in games in general/the games they cosplay. Out of a hundred Ezios, I doubt at least 20 of them actually know much about the game. So going to a convention oriented around those games is kind of pointless for a lot of cosplayers.

I'll be going, it's gonna be my first con actually. I was gonna cosplay but only for one of the days, which would be the best day?

>> No.9368621

If you're looking to go to lots of events/demo probably Friday. Saturday feels more packed and people are more inconsiderate of space, but might get you more photos. Honestly anon it depends on you and your cosplay tho.

So I've never been to a PAX before. What can I expect?

The panels look pretty meh, but I figured they would be going into it. Seems like PAX is more about the floor life. Is that accurate or am I in for a downer?

>> No.9371356

>>9371351
A lot of the panels are industry based, so like pc building, new game releases, AI stuff etc. The floor life is excellent and imo that's what I go for. You can play all sorts of games pretty much all day, check out tons of new hardware. Super interactive and fun.

>> No.9371371

>>9371356
I second this.
The floor life in PAX is better than any other big-name con. I would like to think PAX is the middle ground between the huge cons like Comic Con and the smaller niche cons.

They have big name companies and titles there, but they are still niche enough to be able to cater to their crowds and give out some actual quality and nice swag. Just google the PAX East Wolfenstein bag that they gave away. It was quality canvas bag that I still use today.

Went to PAX East today and had the shittiest time because I went with a dumbfuck friend who wanted to stay close because its his first convention. My first time at Anime Boston(back in 2013) I never did that shit, my firends pointed me out on things and after that I was going around doing whatever the hell I wanted and we meet up for a bit and then break off and continue doing what we were doing.

Like I said with PAX today it fucking sucked having that dumbass of a friend that didn't want to split up and do whatever we wanted.

>Freind wanted to stay close while going around
>Because of this I missed out a lot on taking pics of cosplayers
>Nintendo panel sucked and friend formed me to try out the Switch which I didn't give a fuck about and then after finishing I got a shit MK8 Deluxe pin which I tossed in the trash
>When we passed by either the Bulletstorm or Nintendo panel, friend sticks around for too long and I wanted to go on
>During one visit at the Nintendo panel I was like 5-6 feet away because I was taking some pics of cosplayers and the dumb fuck calle my cellphone because I was away
>The whoke MK8 at same panel was cringe as fuck and the swag giveaway made me want to lose my shit
>From said giveaway, assholes fucking jump around me trying to grab the prizes constantly bumping into me and any longer I would've gone insane
>Not to mention some asshole spilled coffee onto the floor near me at same panel
>Also dumbass friend wwanted to try Bulletstorm so I had to stay and ait till he's done
>Back at South Station going home he was ordering some food and I was not sure what to order and he tried ordering for mine and I haven't decided and I told him again I have not decided
>MFW this whole shit today

Yeah I don't regret coming this year, especially for Protomen, but I would not do this again. I'll eventually play all the games I want to play when they come out, and i'll eventually hear all the news when it comes out.

The lines are not at all worth it most of the time either. With amusement parks at least you know what you're gonna get, but here I've waited an hour to play 3 minutes of garbage.

And the panels are polar: either really bad with short lines or really good but you gotta get in line like an hour in advance.

Also I definitely think PAX is NOT a good con to make friends. At other cons I've gone to the tabletop/games section is where you go to make friends, but here it's so hectic that it's a task in itself just to locate people that need someone to play with or have extra space to play with you. Talking to devs is nice though.
Another good way to make friends would be unique panels that force crowd interaction, but PAX is too big to risk precious room space on niche panels, which is understandable.
Best way to make friends at PAX is to go on 4chan (here) and reddit/wherever the fuck (might be a pax discord or something) and organize meetups.

Some of the smaller booths were somehwat shorter waits, but doing VR at a con is still fucking dumb.

I was somewhat surprised to see some non-cosplay lolita outfits. I usually expect that at AB, but I guess I should know you folk are just as likely to PAX it up.

Seconded, it was kind of amusing because I was in cosplay for the day and every time my friends would see a lolita they would tap me on the shoulder and say "look anon, dress!".
Kinda made me wish I did it up for the con, but I guess then I would waste the opportunity to dress up as a video game character at a video game convention. I'm pretty sure that's the most times I've had my picture taken in my life, not that I'll probably see any of them. I did get to chat it up with some cool people as a result though, so overall cosplaying was totally worth it.

Blogpost aside, it was small but I was super excited to see a Yooka-Laylee demo.

It looks so dumb and unfashionable but the games were fun as fuck.
Robo Recall was a blast. Any game that lets me play reaper and teleport around a city blasting robots with shotguns is a good time in by book.

Then why the fuck do they have this shit out in public?

To me it's a dumb marketing move. They shouldn't want people to see that part of it. They should only have people experience what it is like wearing it, not see what you look like.

Heck, just having a closed space where you don't see people playing it adds a whole mystery box aspect to it.

Then again, I remember going to one VR expo at the World Trade Center across the way, before the BCEC was built. That was in the 90s. I honestly don't think the tech has really come all that far in 20 years. Bit lighter. Better graphics like games in general. Meh.

So everybody can see how light and slick and smooth the new tech is. Sure, you look like a dork in it but people will see the neat new tech and how much fun the person's having and want to try it themselves. I think it'd be kinda lame if you just watched what was happening on a screen without actually getting to see the person doing it irl before you tried it out yourself

Did anybody else catch that massive Overwatch photoshoot that was happening on the 2nd floor? I noticed a stampede of cosplayers walking around in the lobby so I followed them hoping for some pics. A lady with a megaphone stopped us infront of a fucking window on the 2nd floor but I still got some pretty nice pics I think

Two guys came up to me and handed me a gold coin. I seen the coin before but didn't bother to pick it up. When I asked the guy what it was for, he said to check the forums and to collect them. Something about taking a picture of all the of coins I can collect to win something. I couldn't hear very well.

Yeah, enforcers pushed us out of the booth so we went to one of those enclosed areas by the entrance. About 15 mins in the security guys told us we were a fire hazard. In the end an enforcer led the group to the back of the 3rd floor. Good times.
