Sights Of PAX East 2012: Day One

I'm here in Boston for PAX East 2012, and the show floor is filled with all sorts of cosplaying and general nerdery. I've got my camera with me, and I plan on snagging a few shots as I scramble from meeting to meeting. Here's what I've seen on the show floor at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.

Day One:
