THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST FREAKING THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
Life is now complete

THIS WILL ALWAYS BE THE GREATEST THING EVER.
…
I keep replaying it over and over again.

An artist friend and I have a running joke about our list of AA don’ts, but after some annoying instances at C2E2 it seems the general public could use a refresher.
- No backpacks on the portfolios, no food or beverages on the table. You ruin something, you’re paying for it.
- Exhibitors in AA are…
Word is that Jessica Nigri, a big-time cosplayer hired to portray the protagonist of Lollipop Chainsaw, was asked to leave PAX East yesterday. Why, you ask? Oh, I don’t know. Maybe that hot pink jumpsuit with a “neckline” plunging to her crotch has something to do with it.
She’s back today (here is Nigri, as Juliet Starling, at the Lollipop Chainsaw booth.) But Destructoid first reported that she was “asked to leave the show floor” until she had changed out of that pink outfit at right. But after changing back to the Juliet Starling costume, at left—which she had worn all Friday with no issue—she was asked to change again or leave the show entirely.
….
“Ultimately the costume policy is designed to keep the show family friendly, as we see a good number of parents being their young children to the show,” Khoo said.
Once again, the video game industry smells like sexism - and I even like Penny Arcade. But I’m sorry, a convention is only as fambly friendly as the goods they’re peddling. Why is it okay to create, design, and sell a game that portrays women this way, cover their booth in life-size images, have shots up the character’s shirt, yet it’s totally unacceptable for a girl to dress in costume like this (for the purpose of promoting said game)? Talk about double standards. If they’re trying to appeal to peoples’ modesty, it needs to be reflected in the products that they allow to be sold as well.
You know, I get a lot of questions about how one determines whether a scantily-clad video game or anime character is sexist or not, and I don’t have that answer; it depends on the context, and even then, peoples’ comfort levels with what is or isn’t misogynist will differ greatly. But for me, it’s most certainly sexist whenever women are denied ownership over that sexuality, which I feel like is happening here with Nigri.
What bothers these parents isn’t the nudity itself - if that’s what bothered them, they wouldn’t be taking their children to a video game convention, where a fair portion of the games sell sex, violence, and violence via sex. What bothers them is that a young woman is showing ownership, even willingness, to portray herself in a sex-positive way, and it’s just really disheartening that the convention would buy into this message of chastity without making the video games and products comply by these standards as well.
Insanity Workout Challenge
Day 7 Rest Day. How did the first week of my insanity workout go? Well aside from complaining all day that my back has been hurting me and my legs feel like spaghetti I say so far its just the pain that comes with it that is keeping me up. I don’t plan to quit, I’m going full throttle, balls to the wall with this challenge. Unfortunately I started on a month where during the second week I will be going to Texas. That isn’t going to stop me as I still plan on doing the daily workouts while I’m in the hotel or when I get to my destination.
My problem with this whole ordeal… the homemade Texas food that is made with lots of love and spices. Trust me I love it but I’m gonna regret not eating all of it. I need to stay on task for these 60 days to work.
I’m getting ready for my second week and if it kills me in the end then its fine. But atleast I will say that I accomplished another challenge and I earned that right. So raise up those red solo cups and let’s have a toast for me. Pain is Temporary, Glory is Forever.
See you all on the other side.
I dont care if this is a girl bathroom, I want it! This is so damn awesome!
I used to read these books all the time and then I saw the short lived tv show (few episodes) with Shawn Ashmore and it was kinda meh but it pissed me off that they canceled it. I wonder now that books to movie screens are popular if they’re going to bring The Animorphs to the big screen or even the small screen again.
Shit, I want to read them again. I think I read up to 20 books on the series. Would love to find out the ending.

Undertaker, need I remind you the last time you cut your hair that short you looked like that. And now you look like Kevin Nash when he was in WCW as Steel…
And cue the picture
Dont let this happen to you Taker… Dont become Super Shredder.
Best Match and part of the night…
Nothing will ever compare to this, weather or not the Hell in a Cell didnt even play a big part in the match, it was still the most awesome match I’ve seen in past years.
