5'11". Yes, there are plenty of dudes taller than me (Ingmar is, for example), but they have to beat me by more than just a bit to make me feel short.

Non took pictures with the Undead cosplayer that had the best costume of the con and her sister in a good Draenei outfit last year.  It's purely admiration of her costuming skills.

Sjofn is a female jötunn?!?!?
A Vanir, actually.

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!

Sjofn is tall! And also, a vanir. She kept telling me to go club some rebellious mine workers.

Maybe it was just due to the increased amount of people, but I felt a much smaller cosplay presence this year than I had any other year. It pretty much felt like they showed up, went to the costume contest, and then disappeared.

I guess they're bored of it? I dunno.

I am wondering if part of it was because the con was in August this time, and it was just too warm between that and the extra people heating the rooms up for them to be comfortable walking around in costume the whole time. It was a LOT hotter inside the convention center this time, I was in a T Shirt the whole time, while last year it actually got cool enough to put on a sweatshirt inside.

But yeah there were way way less costumed people walking around in general.

Friday was definitely costume day. A lot of the costumes were very difficult to wear for more than one day as I heard from many a participant.

Some of the more notable ones I took. Somewhat silly reason but I'm not going to reupload and reedit my entire album and I'm not giving out my Facebook here.

Edit: If someone can tell me why Photobucket is being dumb and making those images on its side, I'd appreciate it.

I was about to ask if that was the WoWPorn chick.

#3 of the first set was a finalist in the costume contest.  that picture doesn't do her justice, go watch the youtube vid of the finals. She's a lot hotter than the pic belies.

I somehow missed #3 entirely and that, combined with the at least one hot chick you posted in the second series of photos, has lead me to do a double negative inverted reversal of my previous post and ask for you to go ahead and continue posting pics.

No, but it's too pretty looking. I'd never want to play poker with them.

Yeah, they did an extended interview on the live feed with the guy who designed it.  They did things like tape Raynor's face over one of the kings and Kerrigan on one of the queens. (bonus points if it's the QoSpades)  There's cards that form a mosaic picture and other nifty things.  The designer said he hoped that players would continue the motif and customize the cards as they used the set.  I chuckled thinking about how at least 60% of them will never leave their shrinkwrap/ cases.

The first three of the first set are pretty good.  Alexstraza is ok, but adding wings where they don't belong (she doesn't have wings in her humanoid form) loses it points with me.  The paladin seems nice, but something also seems off about her.  Still, good.  All the elf ears look pretty bad, but then when you're dealing with ears as long as elves in Warcraft have them, it's hard NOT to look bad if you try to make the things in reality.  Only the girl in the sideboob shot seems to have somewhat decent ears.  Although the rest of her costume I don't recognize at all.

I thought all three of the runners up in the costume contest were better than the one who took 3rd place.  The winner definitely deserved it, though.  And Kel'thuzad was damn good, although there were some cardboard flaps showing that hurt it.

There were two or three different Alexstraszas. That one posted above was not the best one.
