SECOND. BEST. THING. EVER.

Buy this for me and I will love you forever.

Rule 63 Jack is awesome.

The Oogie Boogie Man, however, even better.

Oh, hello there, Captain.

One of the most creative cosplays ever.

This is one of the worst things I have ever seen.

One of the best.

UMMMMM OKAY.

Welcome to the world.

The "I just whispered to myself outloud 'this roundup is going to be pretty epic', which is totally normal" Roundup

I SAID IT, WHAT.

I might have already posted this, but I'll post it again because it is THAT AWESOME.


This infographic is a little misleading in that it definitely includes all the Farmvillers out there. Who are presumably married women with husbands that... like... sex.

Hey look! A Wired link!

Felicia Day is awkward, and is still my hero:


Um, THIS IS JUST AWESOME:

(and also, the dude looks spot on Freeman. At least to me.)

THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER (protip: make it past the stupid cartoon for the best stuff)

GO WATCH THIS because it is hilarious. Seriously. So hilarious I doubted that it was real until I visited the site.

I think I need some of these cheats.

I think I'll do this.

Time for Brandy!

IT'S TRUE!

I don't remember what cosplay this is but OH MY GOD.
I do know what this cosplay is, and OH MY GOD
I will seriously be getting this tattoo soon.
Yeah, I'm unclear about it, too, Doctor.

BAAAAAAHAHA, Sega.

Silly you, thinking people LITERALLY forced themselves to become cannibals for heads? No, they have bodies. And hats! That makes up for the whole eating your family thing.

Best. I need this printed up.

This one's my favorite.

Not a roundup

Here is a vocal recording of what happens when Lulu and I try to have a meeting about 8 bit runway. Voices are; miss Felix, miss Lulu and our good friend and [hopefully future contributor] Grace. Please enjoy!

Cosplay!!

I love me some good cosplay. And before you turn up your noses, here's why; anime isn't really my thing, I'll admit; it isn't as though I specifically don't like it, I just find it sorta hard to get in to nowadays. Young Lou enjoyed forays into such series as Trigun, Tenchi Muyo and, like every other middle school-aged girl, Sailor Moon. And I seem to remember that Fooly Cooly was a bit of fun, before I fell asleep in the middle of it.

Side note: Will someone buy this for me so I can wear it EVERY DAY!?

But whether or not you're into the inspiration for Cosplay (and to be fair, its not all anime), you can enjoy the result; the genuine craftsmanship of a good costume, one that is easily recognizeable, flattering, and effective; those can be truly impressive. Good for you, awesome cosplayers!

But...as with everything, there is a dark side, a yang to the ying, a Gary to an Ash (I could go on for days!). Something that I will totally own up to...I LOVE bad Cosplay. Its that reality TV curse that we're all guilty of; the joy in watching someone take a tumble and humiliate themselves, either on purpose or not. (And if you don't own up to it, you're lying; I don't care if you're Mother Freakin' Theresa, you've seen an episode of Wife-Swap and I WAS WATCHING YOU WHILE YOU DID IT AND I HAVE PROOF. Just kidding. Or am I?) Without getting into the psychology behind it (maybe in a later post!), a terrible Cosplay has the same effect; even though your face is melting a la Indiana Jones and you cannot unsee the unthinkable, you click on through to the next one.

So! On to it! For your viewing pleasure, horrific Cosplay outfits. Check back later on for some examples of AWESOME Cosplay, so that the internet may redeem itself. And while I don't particularly think its the nicest thing ever to put people on display and giggle at them, we're doing it anyway.
