....wtf is a Raver and why there are so many versions of it ?

People there for the rave parties. Not really sure what else to call 'em, haha.

Here's my pictures for the weekend. Got to the venue late in the afternoon for the most part so missed all the juicy stuff early on in the day with fresh sunlight.

Had to retouch a lot of pictures due to bad lighting along with me figuring out and learning how to use manual flash.

Rest here:

Good stuff, man. Far braver than I for learning to use a manual flash during con time. Saw a few I missed that I would've shot if I'd seen 'em. Nice seeing you again, too.

Yeah I was afraid I'd mess up a lot of shots due to crowding, different ceiling heights and then the night shots were pretty much the roughest lol. Good to see you again too. My next con might be Otakon and/or DragonCon but New York Comic Con is definitely on the map.

Emerald City Comicon is the next stop on the DTJAAAAM tour. Well, Seattle's home for me, so it's not much of a trip. Still, lots of the big names in cosplay will be showing up, and I'll be sure to get pics of 'em.

Hey DT, how often do you see Half-Life cosplay, particularly Gordon Freeman? I've been thinking about doing that at Comic-Con or something for a long time now.

That Smeagol costume baffled, disgusted, and entertained.

He did the voice and would crawl around creepily, which freaked out some of the attendees. Loved it!

Armored? Don't recall ever seeing one. I have seen about two or three lab coat Gordons, mainly in the Seattle area at PAX Prime and Sakura-Con. There's a good Headcrab guy around this area and a friend of mine was a Metrocop for quite a while, too. Most of the Valve cosplay is Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, and Portal nowadays.

Yea, I would be doing one in the HEV suit. It helps that I look just like him, glasses, beard, hair and all. Thanks for the info!

Amazing Wizard World pics, DTJAAAAM.

  • The Totoro and Bender costumes are seriously slick. (Good Leela and Fry too.)
  • I love the sheer ridiculousness of Cap'n Crunch
  • ... is that guy cosplaying Gandhi?
  • Love the Vampirella cosplay. Holy shit.
  • Zapp Brannigan! Wow!
  • Who's that mono-eye purple Decepticon? I used to know stuff like this. Well, kudos to her for a pretty retro choice. (or has this char and design been used more recently? I have no knowledge of the current state of Transformers media.) Edit: nevermind, I saw on the website it's Shockwave.
  • Great Xena, Big Sister, Batman, Darkman, Red Sonja
  • I really like the choice that couple made to be from the Mario Kart games rather than just Mario.

That Xena and Batman are well done.

For some others, I have no clue which character they represent...

Hmmm, I approve this too.

Any ideas for a father/daughter video game related costume combo for my <1 year old and I?

It would have to be pretty simple, without too much in the way of elaborate decorations.

I already have a Mario costume, so I am planning a Toad costume for the little one, but I was hoping for some other cool suggestions.

I do have a Link Master Sword and Hylian shield at home, but I don't have the right body shape for Link (I'm definitely more of a Mario build). I love the Mega Man costumes I have seen on children and would probably be able to whip something up for myself as Dr Wily.

You get bonus points if you can make a suggestion for a trio, as I might be able to convince my partner to come along too.

I have a couple ideas that come right to mind that sound fairly simple and you seem to dig Nintendo stuff. So either be King Dedede and your kid can be Kirby (or Metaknight if you're more a fan there) or be a Pokemon Trainer and your kid could be Pikachu or whichever notable Pokemon you like. King Dedede might be a bit too elaborate since he has a pretty particular costume but the Pokemon trainer should be quite easy I would expect. And the kid wouldn't have to be in anything too crazy to be iconic as the appropriate characters.

There's really a good number of Nintendo properties, but it really just depends on what you consider elaborate for your side of things. Make yourself Captain Olimar and your kid could be a Pikmin (a slightly modified onesie would make a perfect Pikmin I'd think).

I could probably ramble off a good handful more but I suppose it'd be good to know if this is the direction you're thinking of.

The might be some ideas in the loli thread.

I generally steer clear of threads like that...too many morons.

This one is generally safe and free of idiots.

I also have no interest in dressing my child up like a stripper

I love the Olimar/Pikmin idea and the Pokemon one too.

I'm not really a Kirby fan though, so that one is not getting me too excited.

I would bang a hot farmer!

You go as Talon and your daughter can either be Malon or dress her up as a small cow.
