    If you voted against PAX, you're simply a poophead.

    *looks at voting results*

    Looks like that's a lot of crapiums.

    No Dragon*Con option? It had gaming (computer, board, card and live action) as well as an MMO track and a track talking about online issues. Where's the love?

    Wait, wait, Kotaku, you put up like 3 pictures of the same cosplaying Lightning but NO love for the Boss? Or Vyse? Or Heat and Serph?

    For shame Kotaku...for shame...

    That said, TGS wins...however the one that SHOULD win is Blizzcon (and I HATE Blizzard and WoW with fiery passions..) simply because of the Dyrider (sp?) chick that won the costume contest over there is a thousand badasses. (I don't think you fellas seen it, follow Kaybabakin's link)

    Although I SEVERELY doubt these pictures are the best that TGS can muster. For now, TGS wins.

    @KillerBee: I dunno, you should check out Sakura-con in the US. There's some pretty awesome American cosplayers there, that is if you can get passed the fact that the American girls are all much chunkier than the Japanese girls.

    @incubushead: I don't know man. Looking through the Sakura Con images in this link, I am still going to say TGS wins by a large margin. Besides, when you have even one Heath Ledger Joker at your Con, it brings your average WAY down. Also, it should be noted that I don't mind a little chunk on a woman, as long as said chunk is sexy chunk....like Beyonce mmmmmm.

    honestly despite the humour and everything and despite the fact that I knew I was getting it, it was the boss-fight gameplay video(the one with the dead whale stench comment by the protagonist) and the slight similiarities in strategy elements to sacrifice that actually made me realize I will most likely enjoy this game.

    It's been ages since sacrifice and Giants: Citizen Kabuto, even Armed and Dangerous. This sits comfortably in that region from the gameplay videos I've seen.

    Three words: so freakin' what?

    I'm completely overlooking the fact that he's called metal bands lords, and was throwing up the horns at every opportunity to remind everyone that metal is completely awesome [sic].

    I'll retract my comment when and if this turns out to be a good game, not because it has Schafer's name on the box. Jeez, what a giant douche. If this were the sole piece of promotion I had seen, I would completely be disregarding this title.

    @diagorus: I'm not biting, just to be told I'm wrong on something that I can't possibly be wrong about - considering that it's my own preference.

    Nor am I going to mention the sales figures of his work, because that is a hollow victory - truly.

    I will say, though, that I can't think of a game that he's worked on that makes him worthy of the praise he receives.
