Trying To Get Some Work Done Here

If this PAX 2009 cos-player had to stop next to me to pose for pictures with other people, then, sure, take one of me too.

    You like like you were busted in some video game themed sex scandal.

    @(Zombie) Jolan: BILLY MAYS HERE AND DO I HAVE A DEAL FOR YOU

  • TheHeeyyy

    Totilo is just jealous he can't split his legs like that.

  • milford

    Is it just the lighting or did you bleach your skin to match your shirt and laptop? ;-)

    @(Zombie) Jolan:

    See, this is why I'm going to stalk you from now on.

  • Jnas

    Lmao, that is just awesome.

  • (Zombie) Jolan

    Mr. Totilo, have you found yourself sleeping a lot during the day, and wandering restlessly at night? Perhaps hearing strange sounds, like heartbeats, even though the closest people are a block away? Finding the smell of blood strangely arousing? Got a deep craving for something that you just cannot seem to satiate?

  • ThreeOneFive

    I believe this is the only proper response to such a post.

  • lunarmooner

    I see that guy at every Convention srsly

  • until.december

    @KillerBee: Local man caught Hadouken handed with attention seeking performance artist. Area people called the man "pathetic" and claimed that most of their outrage stemmed from their belief that Mr. Totilo could "do better."

    I saw this and thought of you!

  • bbaydar

    Weird... it shows on the main page, but not here. *shrugs*

    Hawaiian Punch Dude! :D

  • Salen

    Watch out Stephen! He's going to steal your Chi! Noooooo! *slow motion dives*

  • bbaydar

    Is there supposed to be a pic there? Not seeing anything.

  • (zombie) buddhathing

    @KillerBee: Totilo has been cos-mailed.

    I am confused by this picture. Was the cosplayer

    1) Nearby taking pictures, but then did the beefy man-splits just for Stephen because he was there, and sure, wanted a picture too? or

    2) doing the beefy man-splits by Stephen in order to take pictures with others, in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions' clear ruling that only uniformed cosplayers may be subjected to aggressive cosplay posing tactics without prior consent, and then offered to let Stephen have a picture taken, to hush him up?

  • mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta

    This guy should've cosplayed as live action Street Fighter's E. Honda. his talents are wasted otherwise.

    KRAKATOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ReVivAL

    That pic is awesome. Totilo showing off his tan or lack thereof.

    Totally unrelated but where is my SunTAY? I can't get my Sunday started without my SunTAY. How else am I supposed to figure out pivotal information like what my fellow Kotakuites are eating for breakfast?

  • Kobun

    @milford: Mac zealots know no bounds. :p

  • braincadet

    amazing picture.

    could totilo's face be any more pale?

  • MadExponent

    Not gonna lie that is pretty priceless.

    @Go Go Gadget: Gizmo: So that's what happened to (Zombie) Billy Mays.

    He got his freedom back by pitching the devil some new corpus crunching devices, a de-spining defibrillator and some foot sockies for his tender hooves.

  • BillyTheRatKing

    @braincadet: That just means he is a real gamer. Outdoors is for chumps!

  • SanjiX

    Stephen's face says this: "I'm trying to work here, asshole!"

    Did you have to punch the people to get the pic out of them?

  • Nyarlathotep_45

    @(zombie) buddhathing: I think you're missing the obvious:

    3) Nearby cosplayer had to break wind, and after seeing Stephen sitting nearby, figured he could pose for a picture, fart, and blame it on the albino in the background.

  • Esper mind tricks

    Man I can imagine you saying...
    "I told you no pictures!!! Akuma, what am I paying you for..."

    Esper mind tricks

  • Stephen Totilo

    @(zombie) buddhathing: More #2. I was sitting there doing my work when he sat down in a split to pose with someone. I looked up bewildered. Laughed. Eventually handed my camera to someone and asked them to take a shot. Might as well immortalize the moment.

  • Stephen Totilo

    @milford: Oh, it's bleached. Couldn't be the lighting. Everything else in the shot is just so well-lit after all.

  • Stephen Totilo

    @bbaydar: Sorry. Not sure why it's not displaying in the post. Trying to resolve it.

  • benmalik84

    take his blood Tolilo! I reckon an Akuma Vamp fight would fit right in on the PAX floor!

  • SeattleTed is proud to like Robe

    Oh no, he's not dressed up, he's from Seattle. I don't even think he he is aware there is conference. Did you buy his copy of Real Change for a $1.

  • ShadowOdin of dubious snowiness

    Mr. Tortilla, for me you will always be the star of the show!

  • yihdego

    I seem to see this guy everywhere in Seattle. He was in that costume for Emerald City Comic Con and Sakura Con.

  • invictus2006

    guy on the left needs to go on a diet

  • soulofaqua

    @invictus2006: That's Stephen Totilo, you know the one trying to get some work done. He ain't got time to eat!

  • televizor

    @gantou:

    kudos to you for standing up to do the splits and peeing yourself... cosplayer dude

    televizor

  • ToastyUterus

    @gantou: could be sweat, as im sure that costume must be somewhat warmer than normal

  • Jbourne37

    I'm cosplaying as Akuma! Better find a badass, masculine pose!

  • Kobun

    @KillerBee: I really wish I had the time and access to do this justice. Not the scene I was hoping to find, but bonus points if you get the reference (without checking the file name at least). :^)

    Kobun

  • The Magistrate

    Mr. Totilo, you look somewhat...vampiric. You feeling okay?

    The Magistrate

  • ShaSt One

    They should make a show where that guy just sits there like that in front of people trying to work

  • thekidq909

    I didn't even see this guy! I did get some pretty good ones though. I just barley missed cammy though damn it!

  • MtlAngelus

    The zombie cosplayer on the left is pretty cool.

    :P

  • Knoxximus ver. 5.66

    I know that Akuma...PERSONALLY. The following is a message to him, so I hope he reads/posts here.

    CRAZY CHRIS! It's me, Sgt Hines! We we stationed at Camp Casey Korea together in the 702 Motor Battalion from '96-97! I see you are still into your martial arts/anime/videogames! If you read this, please respond or click my username and leave me a PM!

  • Ursus-Veritas

    Stephen, something is wrong when your face colour matches your laptop (or macbook, i think) =/

    I burst out laughing at your expression though - 'OMGZ NO PICTURES!!'

  • IsLaNd3r - and the chipmunks

    Mr.Tortilla you are a funny man! :P

  • spikespeigel

    @gantou: Real men of genius?

  • IRHari

    @KillerBee: Totilo looks like he was doing some pedofail and Chris Hansen just walked in and asked him to have a seat.

    IRHari

  • Xeno

    @Ursus-Veritas: Pale color is pretty standard for Apple users. /jk

  • crakhed

    you guys are dicks! leave mr. totilo (tortilla! lol!) alone. just a bunch of bullies picking on the schoolyard weiner just because he looks a little pastey! for shame, damnit! all he doese is give us brilliant posts about stuffy buisness men and african american akumas and then you turn around and tell him that he looks like one of those undrgrown mutant bat people in the Descent with a mac book? pieces of feces, all of you!

  • kajillion

    Oh man, I love Blakuma.

  • PhatsMahoney

    Totilo is easily the best thing about this picture

  • OperationTophat

    Poll: Which is whiter, the laptop or the man holding it?

  • carmina2008

    Oh, bunny LOL.

  • PristineSneakers

    @gantou: Holy shit, lol this guys needs a second stunt.

  • PristineSneakers

    @Knoxximus ver. 5.66: Wow, it's a small small world, huh?

  • WayByWind

    this guy is at EVERYTHING!

  • bobtheduck

    @kajillion: What's funny... I didn't even notice he was black until you pointed it out. I guess it's because Akuma is kind of dark skinned to begin with.

    There's also the fact I have a black friend who cosplays as things like Vash the Stampede, so I guess this is par for the course with me.

  • bobtheduck

    @televizor: someone else posted the pic, minus the "WTF" and it didn't have the pee stain... It's just photoshop.

    Photoshop has made things more difficult for nerds and geeks who dare to leave their computers and venture into crowded places, though.

  • Knoxximus ver. 5.66

    @PristineSneakers: Haha indeed! If I could remember his last name, I'd facebook him. It's funny...guys that were ever in the military usually remember people by their last names LOL! Man, the stories I could tell about this guy...he's a little eccentric, but he was a good, dependable soldier and a reliable friend.

  • kingofclow83

    Photographers thoughts: "Whats with the splits guy in the middle of my picture of the zombie?"

  • still_here85

    You're lucky a bad ass split is all he sent your way. I'd hate to find out someone at PAX got instantly murdered in a hellish way.

  • Lissar

    Oh my, it's Akuma... again. Last time I saw him was what, eight years ago? Now that's dedication to your costume!

  • Omegastrider The objective speak

    Lol HAHAHAHA

  • Spiders88

    Dude has no ballz or perhaps he has passed out in pain.

  • Tacticalspoon

    @Xeno: Yeah, but where's the black turtleneck?

  • Tacticalspoon

    @Knoxximus ver. 5.66: That is pretty crazy, lol. I always have the opposite problem. Can't remember their damn first names.

  • Tyber_Zann

    Haha, Totilo looks disheveled/annoyed/offended.

    Sorry, but I must laugh at your misfortune, sir. Easily the funniest pic I've seen in a while!

  • NigelBabalas

    Haha! Awesome, the cosplayer's name is Chris Vance. He's hillarious and also tends to go to Sakura-Con too.

  • Pornosaur

    They need to send Stephen out for a bit of sun.

  • Hardcore

    Stephen, if you continue to complain, I see a super death move coming your way.

  • HowardC

    I think the guy is awesome and all of that, but he needs to pick some black characters to cosplay as. With all due respect proper skin color is essential to a successful cosplay. (And by successful I mean resembling the character in even the slightest.) I put this right up their with really fat people dressing up as skinny characters. Or asians dressing up as characters that are obviously supposed to be anglosaxon.

    I mean you don't see white guys dressing up as Balrog and DeeJay. And if you DO by all means post pics!

  • Bricked

    Blakuma?

    Bricked

  • wintersault

    What do ghosts sightings have to do with videogames. Its probably just photoshopped.

    (I kid. forgive me totilo =P)

  • GohanGVO

    Stephen: "Rumor has it that you're Akuma. Confirm or deny!"

    Akuma:

  • (Zombie) Goldwings

    I USED to be able to do the splits, but now *grumble*

    The surprised look when I was able to do it would get me expressions kind of the like the one Stephen is pulling off.
    Although it kind of looks like fear in the picture. I mean a man who can do the splits? Scary/envious ;D

  • Isentropic_Storm

    Stephen had activated his Octo-camo.

    The cosplayer and photographer didn't even see him there.
