so is it like Halloween where, if you wear a costume with a mask you limit your chances of scoring ass because the chicks can't see your face?


or is this the opposite and you want the craziest costume ever because nerd chicks will fall all over you, pizza face or not?

9/6/2012 8:48:43 AM

Damn...who knew frugal_qualm was a t-dub dime.

That makes the total like five or something.

9/6/2012 9:09:32 AM

yea she is definitely the prettiest girl I've seen on this site. like hands down winner.

sorry everyone else. you lose.

9/6/2012 9:36:24 AM

what are you doing next year Frugal?

9/6/2012 9:54:38 AM

frugal looks a bit like natasha bedingfield

What would you guys dress as? Is it all video games or can you dress as anything entertainment related?...do they play video games as teams and have LANS, Xboxes, etc set up?

9/6/2012 10:17:09 AM

Nope, dress as anything if you want if you want to dress up. There is a dedicated gaming room

9/6/2012 10:30:24 AM

better be a big ass room

did you do any gaming?

9/6/2012 10:31:59 AM

I did not, I mostly just took in the sights, it was hard not being overwhelmed at everything.

9/6/2012 10:39:58 AM

the gaming "room" was more like the gaming "floor" the entire basement section was pretty much blocked off for it

9/6/2012 1:43:53 PM

i would liek to work security for an event like this, you get the benefit of seein the crazy folks and youll be sober enough to remember it

9/6/2012 1:54:14 PM

some of the things would make you wish you weren't sober

9/6/2012 1:56:30 PM

I'm gonna dress up like Frank Rossitano from 30 Rock

9/6/2012 2:05:25 PM

id like to dress up as Jada fire

9/6/2012 2:08:00 PM

how bad did it smell?

9/6/2012 2:14:19 PM

^I didn't smell anyone, but I know the DragonCon TV network in the hotel showed PSA type commercials in the style of those on Adult Swim. One of which was a reminder for everyone to shower. I found it amusing because it had a half-joking, half-serious tone to it.

Note: I didn't attend the DragonCon events, I was there for the football game. It just so happened that my hotel was one of the hosts- which worked out pretty great.

9/6/2012 3:05:32 PM

i wonder if i could pull some tail by dressing up as Zoidberg

9/6/2012 3:07:54 PM

We were there for Dragon Con 2012, a lot of fun was had.

Stayed at the Marriott Marquis which I think I saw will open for reservations on October 10th, 2012. Be quick though last year the reservation system got totally slammed and they were sold out by 8:20am EST.

Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt are the ones that are in a straight line and where Westin and Sheraton are host hotels they are both a block to a block and half away.

In choosing Sheraton tends to be a quieter one though still a host to many panels. Westin is the 2nd largest host hotel but hardly holds any of the main panels.

Anyway we are doubtful for next year but perhaps 2014 or 2015!

9/6/2012 3:49:36 PM

I'd like to go to whatever hotel has the most of this:

going on

9/6/2012 3:53:55 PM

that was at the Marriott, which is a really really cool hotel, amazing on the inside

9/6/2012 4:08:38 PM

The Hyatt will begin taking online reservations only on Oct. 2, 2012 at 10:00am EST.

The Marriott will begin taking online reservations only on Oct. 10, 2012 at 09:00am EST

Sheraton and Westin are currently taking reservations I believe

I will continue to bttt as I see fit

9/17/2012 11:31:35 AM

I'm starting a twi'lek costume for Halloween so I have something appropriate to wear to the Last Party on Alderon next year. Are you doing more cosplay next year or sticking with one good costume?

9/17/2012 3:08:28 PM

I have no idea what you just said

9/17/2012 3:31:47 PM

I, too, had to google.

9/17/2012 3:39:10 PM

Frugal, my group is trying to decide on a group costume, thinking of doing Watchmen and I might do Walter White again too. So I'd have Rorschach and Walter White. Does the Last Party of Alderaan party get better? We got there pretty early in the night and it was pretty quiet so we moved on to other parties

[Edited on September 17, 2012 at 3:46 PM. Reason : a]

9/17/2012 3:57:15 PM

No thanks BigMan.

9/17/2012 4:03:47 PM

9/17/2012 4:07:46 PM

Only if BigMan goes as Silk Spectre II

9/17/2012 4:08:27 PM

I can go as a comedian/ehrmantraut combo

9/17/2012 4:41:05 PM

9/25/2012 11:39:41 PM

I need to get a pre-buff 21 costume - any of you nerds know a guide of how to make it?
my friend would be a great 24 cause he can totally do the Ray Romano voice

9/26/2012 1:27:22 AM

Nothing better than a good Power Girl.

A friend of mine is a makeup artist in NYC and makes jaw-dropping costumes, then looks even more jaw-dropping in them. It's almost disconcerting how good she looks.

9/26/2012 1:40:26 AM

so basically

cool story

9/26/2012 7:52:41 AM

There are a STUPID amount of high quality Iron Man and Warmachine costumes in that vid. Surprised I only caught a glimpse of 1 Cloud Strife, where I'm pretty sure I saw several of Bowie's character in Labyrinth.

9/26/2012 8:11:49 AM

I do like how in that video two guys in marine light exo suits used expensive video vest & arm stablizier system as a minigun weapons platform... lol I have the same thought about doing it with mine for Halloween.

$85 to 02/15/2013
