Geek and glasses friendly Halloween costumes (Decided, need additional help!)

Kyougu

You all knew one of these threads would come up eventually. Got invited to a Halloween party and trying to come up with a decent, geek costume. The slight hitch (apart from me not being very creative) is that I wear glasses, so I need a costume that incorporates.

And yes, I thought of Gordon Freeman, but I lack the hair (keep mine shaved) and beard. And I doubt I could pull off his armor thing in such short notice.

So recommend away. Gaming, comics, pop culture, whatever.

Gordon Freeman isn't the only character in the Half Life series with glasses.

Superman wears glasses when he's not Superman.

If you could find a Superman shirt you could wear it under a white button up with the top button or two undone (just enough to show the very top of the logo).

Medic from Team Fortress? He's pretty classy. He wears glasses. Chicks dig doctors. :winky::^:

You could go as a demon from supernatural if you nabbed some black sclera contacts.

Doctor Who, specifically the Tenth Doctor, wears glasses.

Bald and glasses?
Here you go.

The stuff for the glasses lenses (transparent plastic or something) would be the hardest to find, but the rest is easy.

I think Spider Jerusalem wins. That was about 10x better than any of the suggestions I was going to make, none of which I can even remember because Spider's awesomeness burned them all away.

Also, you could go straight to the source: Hunter Thompson. But Spider Jerusalem is classier than less cliche than Hunter.

Geek, glasses, and awesome.

I'm going as Tobias Funkë. Blue paint and you're done.

Edit: And jean shorts if you're feeling spendy =P.

You could go as Rusty Venture...you might have to grow out some facial hair though

I'm getting a blue jumpsuit and stitching 106 on the back. Gary from Vault 106? Yes I am.

"Gary?"
"Gary!"

I did this last year, except I did normal dress Tobias instead of blue Tobias so I wouldn't ruin my friend's house. I did print out analrapist business cards though.

Just enough time to grow a semi respectable mustache as well.

Any sort of Steam-Punk flavored costume would be ok with glasses. Baldness is also irrelevant if you're wearing a tophat. I'd imagine it'd take a bit of time to make it look appropriately steampunkish.

Here's like the first link of GIS of steampunk costume, but I'm sure you can thumb through for ideas:

It looks like all you really need is a 3 piece suit (or 2 piece and sweater vest), a tophat (or bowler) and appropriate steam punk accessories.

If I had a reason to dress up for Halloween I'd likely attempt Gideon Graves.

Hirocon

A couple years ago I dressed up as a mad scientist and wore welding goggles over my glasses.

Nocren

Egon Spangler

Or another scientist/paranormal exterminator.

Yeah, that probably would have been helpful.

Most recent pics. Right now I actually have my hair shaved much more. Right now I'm leaning towards Tobias, since I think I could pull him off decently.

Dirtmuncher

This suit is for you!

That's awesome.

My wife is blonde and plays the guitar, so we're practicing the Teamocil song

So yeah, I decided as Tobias. Going to get the Analrapist cards printed. Still not sure about going in only nevernude shorts, but I do have a question. Where can I find the body paint? And any particular brand one would recommend?
