4th thing I look for @ GenCon 2012

People in costume! I dig some costumed folks and/or cosplay people. Take the above neck bearded gentleman. This is great stuff in a sea of anime and Star Wars fan fiction costumes. Speaking of Star Wars costumes.............

WHY!?!?!?!

Then again................maybe I don't need to see people in costume!

Either way, this is what I have come to expect from people in costume at Gen Con. These costume aficionados are either in something cool, clever, or down right awful. I still enjoy the spectacle and am sometimes amazed at what people will cobble together or worse, spend on a fancy suit for dress up.


My favorite mental hot mess psych from mass Effect 2 in costume form!
Why can't more people go to this extent?

I have only two simple costume rules. First is if you can't look awesome and or sexy..........then be something rare or even better clever.

Clever and more effective than those child leashes!

Second, if you can't do any of these then don't do it at all. Please!

This is a good example of the second rule! NO  NO NO NO! BAD LION-O!
