If you're like me and couldn't be arsed to make it up to Seattle this year but still dig you some gaming in general and PAX in particular, gamespot has a couple articles up covering the best cosplay and game related crap to buy there this year. As usual, there were way too many Deadpools.
Mind you, if you're looking for aggressive navels, you won't find them at PAX this year as they were banned. This didn't sit well with some on Twitter, thus the hashtag #PAXNavelPolicy was spawned by the wacky folks of #GamerGate for all your navel needs. Sic Semper Umbilicus.

I think we have identified the problem:
And that's what you got. Gaming is part of tech. PAX is a gaming con. For that matter, #GamerGate is an online movement by gamers and very much tech-related.
Gaming is not part of tech. It may be an application of tech, but does not have to be. (Cards, anyone?) Gaming is part of childhood. There's the problem. Gamergaters are children, they do not understand women, they do not understand adult behavior, they do not understand sexuality except in the most " aggressive navel" and "aggressive cleavage" ways, which makes them suckers for marketers with the most bodacious booth babes. And furries. Though I never could get what the attraction is.
