\"PIKMIN\"<\/a>At video game and comic book conventions (and even amusement parks nowadays), some people like to dress up as their favorite characters! And PAX South was no exception.\u00a0 So here are a collection of cosplayers that I took pictures of last weekend.<\/p>\n

At last year\u2019s PAX South, game developer Gearbox had a pretty big presence, with a whole room for their booth and lots of events throughout the show. And it\u2019s understandable that they\u2019d be there, as they are a local Texas company.\u00a0 In fact, they\u2019re so nearby to where I live, I could tell you exactly where their offices are.\u00a0 But surprisingly, they were not at PAX South this year, and if they were, I certainly didn\u2019t see them.\u00a0 Gearbox makes the popular Borderlands games, and while I am not interested in that series, I do know who some of the characters are since I played and reviewed TellTale\u2019s Poker Night 2, which has characters from Borderlands in it, playing cards and such.\u00a0 So here are some people dressed as Borderlands characters.\u00a0 I can\u2019t recall the name of the robot, but I remember him in Poker Night 2 because he was silly, and GlaDOS (the dealer) called him \u2018Juicebox\u2019 once so that\u2019s what I usually call him.\u00a0 I think the lady\u2019s name is Moxxi and I don\u2019t know what she does in Borderlands, but she\u2019s a bartender in Poker Night 2.<\/p>\n

\"BORDERLANDS\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is a clever costume idea. I think this lady was supposed to be Bowser Jr. because of the bib and all.\u00a0 But I liked her poofy dress because it was made to look like the Clown Copter that he rides around in!<\/p>\n

\"BOWSER\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While waiting in line for the Galaxy Trail panel, I snapped a picture of some folks dressed as Dr. Light and Dr. Wily from the Mega Man games!<\/p>\n

\"DRLIGHT\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are some people dressed as three red Pikmin. They looked pretty weird!<\/p>\n

\"PIKMIN\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen plenty of Little Mac cosplay before, but I thought it was neat how this group of guys went the extra mile and dressed as other characters, too. Like trainer Doc and Mario as the ref.\u00a0 They even had a speaker that would play music from Punch Out as they jogged around the show.<\/p>\n

\"PUNCHOUT\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I saw plenty of squid kid cosplay at PAX South, and even some that were dressed as Callie and Marie. I didn\u2019t get to take a picture of them, though, as we were all in a crowd trying to get somewhere.\u00a0 I liked how this young lady didn\u2019t take the easy way out and opted to just carry a super soaker.\u00a0 No, she made a roller, which is my favorite weapon in Splatoon.<\/p>\n

\"SPLATOON\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here\u2019s a homemade fully-body Yoshi costume!<\/p>\n

\"YOSHI\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yay! It\u2019s Phoenix Wright!\u00a0 One of my favorite Capcom characters and game series!<\/p>\n

\"PHOENIX\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s all I took pictures of. There were plenty of other costumes, but some I had no idea who they were, and sometimes it was hard to take pictures in a crowd of people.\u00a0 There were also a lot of Undertale costumes, too.\u00a0 But that\u2019s all for now!\u00a0 Let me know what you think of my PAX South coverage, and if you have any questions, too.\u00a0 Later!\u00a0 –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
