Falcon PAUNCH!
Bookdust @ Sep 4th 2008 2:06PM
The Psychonauts cosplay was the best! How could you leave it out?

Top Cat @ Sep 4th 2008 8:37AM
Your banning, it's a-comin.
Tracy @ Sep 4th 2008 8:48AM
Um... So actors hired for company promotions now count as cos-play?
435 @ Sep 4th 2008 9:20AM
So it'd seem.
Ross Miller @ Sep 4th 2008 9:38AM
Sometimes it's hard to discern who's paid and who isn't. Some are obvious -- dead space dude, for example. Some aren't -- the Destroy All Humans costume (given DAH wasn't at PAX and neither was THQ from what we could tell). So the criteria was simply, "was it a cool costume?"
Robobagins @ Sep 4th 2008 10:32AM
DAH was at the show. I saw it on the Wii side of the THQ booth on the final day. Going with the Solar Empire girl BTW. Wearing those contacts all day must have sucked.
j.howlett @ Sep 5th 2008 11:00AM
yeah i listened to the pax cast and they said DAH wasn't there then i'm watching x-play and they talk to the makers of the game at pax
Blackbox @ Sep 4th 2008 8:52AM
There were a few good ones but only Capt Falcon made me laugh out loud.
Volucer @ Sep 4th 2008 8:54AM
Are there really any winners in this...?
heypaul @ Sep 4th 2008 11:26AM
+1
Just ignore them and maybe they'll stop.
WiiFTW @ Sep 4th 2008 4:03PM
Fuck the ones on the list, this one's the winner in my book.

'Zis one.
GeekIndustries @ Sep 4th 2008 11:06AM
The blue scout ladie with glasses and the band-aid on the knee...

343 Guilty Fart @ Sep 4th 2008 1:02PM
YES! She was off-the-hizzle hot, but I don't see her in any of the pics?
umm....hello??? @ Sep 4th 2008 9:11AM
I voted for other: Cortana
Mitsuo @ Sep 4th 2008 10:01AM
Cortana fails epicly. The only good part is the heels and they aren't even part of the costume!
dyre @ Sep 4th 2008 9:20AM
How does the Dead Space guy get on the list when the Dude was basically a booth babe?
killian @ Sep 4th 2008 9:24AM
The solar empire chick makes me want some alone time..... =)
CH3BURASHKA @ Sep 4th 2008 9:27AM
I saw Captain Falcon and even though he did not win that special 'Cosplay of the Expo' award in my heart, he got a nomination, if only because he did a FALCON PUNCH!!!
To all who missed it: Your life is empty.
ChooChooCharlie @ Sep 4th 2008 9:44AM
Wow. A lot of those are pretty damn good.
deaftly @ Sep 4th 2008 9:51AM
I voted for The Tick just because The Tick is fucking awesome
Mr.ESC @ Sep 4th 2008 11:29AM
Spoon!
To be honest at first I thought it was a Sonic Costume.
Mitsuo @ Sep 4th 2008 10:00AM
Dr. Horrible cosplay = epic win!
LeilaniLad @ Sep 4th 2008 10:46AM
The Star Wars guys were vendors too.
CubeGuy @ Sep 4th 2008 1:38PM
I didn't see it! Where?!
*continues painting his goggles*
Wiinterfang @ Sep 4th 2008 10:40AM
I like the cooking mama and the female black katamari.
Megadanxzero @ Sep 4th 2008 10:55AM
Anyone who doesn't vote for Captain Falcon has no soul. Thankfully he's in the lead, so there shouldn't be too many soul-less zombies populating the world
Mr.ESC @ Sep 4th 2008 11:31AM
Hey what about Harley Queen?
Rocketboy @ Sep 4th 2008 12:57PM
Harley looked like a trap to me.
Amanita @ Sep 4th 2008 11:00AM
I was really impressed by the trio of Cryx warcasters.
Carrie @ Sep 4th 2008 11:25AM
The Franziska von Karma costume was definitely my favorite.
Psaakyrn @ Sep 4th 2008 11:30AM
No love for the TF2 guys?
Mr.ESC @ Sep 4th 2008 11:34AM
I was about to say the same but thinking about it the engi costume is very simplistic I mean you can get all the pieces at your local home depot or hardware store if you don't have them already.
Now that a demoman cosplay would've been great.
I say either Harley Queeen,the vault boys or CAPTAIN FALCUN!!
Wah-hah-ha! @ Sep 4th 2008 12:20PM
Falcon. Not because the dude was in a good costume, but because he seemed to be perfectly in character
And now, a link

Reton @ Sep 4th 2008 3:39PM
These dude wasnt just wearing a Captain Falcon costume he had had the essence of Captain Falcon.
ZeroCorpse @ Sep 4th 2008 12:48PM
Are you serious? Best cosplayer?
No comment.
killian @ Sep 4th 2008 2:44PM
A no Comment is a A comment and a Lame one at that...
COSPLAY is awesome.....
Coke Boi @ Sep 4th 2008 1:05PM
silent hill nurse
BrennaCeDria @ Sep 4th 2008 1:13PM
Can we please replace booth costumes with actual cosplayers? Cause seriously, people like the Sins of a Solar Empire chick were awesome, but they were also pros.
Kevin Jay @ Sep 4th 2008 5:22PM
Penny Arcade Adventures trio
SirLagsalot @ Sep 4th 2008 6:17PM
Did anyone get pics of the guy dressed as Jayne Cobb?
The Doctor @ Sep 4th 2008 6:29PM
Godot and Von Karma team.
Because they were a Godot and Von Karma team.
SirLagsalot @ Sep 4th 2008 6:31PM
did anyone get a pic of the guy dressed as Jayne?

gaalexy @ Sep 5th 2008 4:08AM
The witch hunter and zealot from warhammer online were AWESOME! I can't believe you don't have their picture!
zanthox @ Sep 6th 2008 4:06PM

Where's Waldo on the list?
Thranx @ Sep 10th 2008 12:27AM
Oh man, the guy dressed like the TF2 Engineer (the good one) was great. The guy even did the dance right. :P
