Episode 127: Cosplay To Win The Cosgame

[Goose Goose Honk At Me Now]

I can't figure out what these egg-selling cosplayers actually need that money for. Cotton and muslin can be dyed very easily and are very cheap, the remnant bin is your friend, and patterns can be had for pennies on eBay.

Sounds like somebody isn't OCD about doing it right.

My guess is they're paying for either expensive replica props or need it for costumes that require something like metalwork or plastic parts.

The replica props can get real expensive: A friend of mine paid several hundred dollars for a replica Power Rangers helmet that he wears to conventions.

[Lady Frenzy]

I'm still flabbergasted by the Sexy Princess Peach cosplay indiegogo.

The result, for those interested.

Those two skype conversations she gave had to be like, ridiculous awkward.

[Lemon]

Oooh, I can buy Liz Katz Merchandise.

Unfortunately, they're sold out of "Store will reopen in March 2014!"

Yeah, Dangit Ron Paul is a fun murder mystery game that has a phenomenal Let's Play on Something Awful, it also caused some amusing drama on the LP sub-forum whenever the paywall went up and people couldn't read DR and bitched about it on tumblr instead of paying the 10$ to register a SA account. Some did register an SA account, but didn't actually read the rules before posting in the LP thread, which got them banned quickly enough.

It may be 2014 and we are fully immersed in Web 2.whatever bullshit, but Something Awful is still causing drama. That's heartwarming in a way. Like it's the Internet's constant.

Just yesterday this popped up on my weekly glance at facebook.

Well, due to some unforeseen circumstances, I am now the president of Cosplay club.

The pictures are ... unfortunate.

Well, due to some unforeseen circumstances, I am now the president of Cosplay club.

Oh, I recognize that kind of coded language.

The Cosplay Club just had a military junta.

[chai tea latte]

Lemon, I have no idea how you found that picture, but it's my new desktop background.

[Geremy Tibbles]

The fact that it looks like it's a Polaroid makes it look like an actual junta.

[Lemon]

Lemon, I have no idea how you found that picture

GIS for "army cosplay" didn't turn up interesting results, so I changed my query to "army of two cosplay". First result.

Oh! I want to play.

Google for "wrestling cosplay".





Quiz time! Without looking at the file name, can you guess what kind of cosplay this is supposed to be?
