As an angry, anti-social nerd, I'm not comfortable with this characterization of the 'Con as being a place where people are friendly to one another, and who acknowledge each other's presence in other ways besides their Hot Pocket-fueled musk. I must angrily protest the mainstream media's new portrayal of the WoW community as being some sort of hippie-dippy love-in replete with boy/girl relationships and photographs with people where one's hand isn't hovering. Please don't imply me to ogle the Cosplay girls from a safe, dark distance. One does not simply walk into the proverbial Mordor of personal girl space and start talking to them, save to catch a sniff of hair. Behind them. No eye contact. Look, it's one of the few times a year I'll leave my basement, so I sure as hell don't want to go talking to people -- unless it's to correct them on matters of lore, or to pour over endless reams of stats. Then, you know, a man's gotta do what an Orc's gotta do!
