    I wasn't planning on it, but perhaps that means I'll need to reuse my costume from last year. ;)

    Needs some fake blood, IMO, but otherwise looking pretty sweet.

    True role-playing wouldn't permit me to pose for photos w/ you (parasites!) but I think I can make an exception this time ;) I'll keep an eye out...

    It would be awesome I got a photo with you last year. We will have three splicers (me included) Sunday, all ripped up and bloody. Hope to see you again.

    Hrm, hitting a thrift store for a putter shouldn't be hard. I'll definitely keep an eye out if you're having trouble.

    If the TF2 thing gets boring, I'll definitely do splicers on Sunday. Either way, though, I'll seek you out for a photo! :D

    And yeah, Splicers follow Ryan's orders, and as such aren't parasites. ;)

    yea I guess the parasite thing refers more to surface dwellers and their reliance on charity & government handouts

    TBH i'm on my first BS1 playthrough right now.. my impression was that Ryan saw the splicers as Fontaine's creation, corrupted by their addiction to ADAM and responsible for the city's downfall? (hope this isn't too off-topic)

    Actually, Ryan took Fontaine's work and used it for his own ends, fully embracing splicing and ADAM and using it to turn his own profit.

    On that note, if we wanna talk further about that, we should probably take it to another thread/PMs.

    I'm sooooo tempted to go read the BioShock Wiki... I srsly need to finish this game already. We can chat at PAX, I'll be at the Games for Windows booth off and on. What are you cosplaying? Your sig link is broken btw.

    Yeh, finish the game, get your views, then go read.

    The link is borked cause God hates me. I'm cosplaying as Giovanni from Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow/FireRed/LeafGreen/HeartGold/SoulSilver. I was actually toying with the idea of doing Andrew Ryan myself for a day but I found I just didn't have enough time to put together another costume, I'm glad someone else did though. :mrgreen:

    EDIT: Link fixed. Pic related: It's me and my grunts.

    That's what the article says. It's probably a Meet-up Group, one I hadn't heard about until reading CHS this morning.

    I'm also bringing my Stargate Atlantis uniform.

    It's too bad that I can't bring my P90 replica q_q.

    Hi all!

    My boyfriend and I will be there as Mario and Peach for one day, and another day I will be Toad and my bf most likely Mario again.

    Anyone know if there will be any photographers there looking to do photoshoots? I'd love to do a shoot! :)

    Well I was hoping to take some pics yesterday but for now here's my as Medic last year...

    DSC_0060.jpg

    The medi-pack and the gun are completely redone... that's what I'm still working on ATM...
    The pack's more proportionate and the gun turned into a Kritzkreig! Plus I made one of the hats! Guess which one?


    Eh Roadblock I'll have to come find you to do some healing!

    I've never gone, but I know people who go, so I sent out a Facebook message to see if they have a list up somewhere of times and places they meet. I'll get back to you on that. (Or maybe someone will beat me to it!)
    It's a group that meets once a month in different places in Seattle to cosplay/hang out. They used to (or maybe still do) meet in Gasworks Park a lot, which is where the name comes from, I do believe.

    The Lilith costume is complete. And the tattoos are a bitch. Also, the chest tattoos in this image are backwards. Wasn't paying attention during my test. That'll be fixed.

    I thought the make up would be more durable but it's not, really. PAX will be interesting, to say the least...

    It's called Gasukan and they start planning on the Sakuracon forums on cosplay.com
    After they figure out where and when (location changes each month) on cosplay.com, people start sending out invites on other sites. :)

    Oh yeah I went to one once back in October in my original Hinawa dress. I'm planning on attending maybe another one once I move up to UW next month with some friends. I'm only allowed to store one costume in the dorms though :o gotta budget my space. Now I gotta figure out which one to bring....Black or Tara....

    It's actually a cosplay and photographer gathering we call Gasukan. Every month, we have a theme (never really followed though) and we also go to different parks. The article shows our 30th Gasukan. ^_^ We usually vote on date and location so if we're mentioned in newspapers or whatever, remember that! It used to be pretty small but it's definitely growing.

    I think the wig looks a little better (and definitely easier to wear) hanging down the way you have it. Besides...the costume is still instantly recognizable! Awesome job!

    Thanks! Thankfully it is not as heavy, but from the way the weight is distributed over my forehead and temples it still gave me a massive headache just from wearing it for an hour. I am hoping that was partially because it was the end of a long day and I was tired, but I guess I'd better bring lots of advil just to be safe!
