    I went as a damn good mario last year but yet again got snubbed for best dressed at the christmas party :(

    I won't say what I'm going as this year, it's embarassing but my reasons are noble and I deserve a medal for my endeavors.

    I'd probably go down the Sub Zero route. Would have to have an epic street battle if we happen to run into each other.

    I did lara croft before. Bloody disaster. I looked more like Ozzy Osbourne. Everyone kept asking me why I was dressed as Ozzy Osbourne with tits, cut off khakis and guns.

    Anyway I'll tell.

    Japanese schoolgirl this year but only on the provision that one of my friends goes as well. A very small price to pay for getting that hottie into a japanese school uniform. I'm expecting drinks and high fives from all the lads.

    Male or female friend?:p

    I might go as Nate from Uncharted this year... A grubby long sleeve T shouldn't be all that hard to whip up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,835 ✭✭✭unreggd


    Go as Gogo Yubari!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    I went as the blue team pyro from team fortress 2 last year. Was at the boards beers and walked in with my flamethrower full of drink (2, 3 litre bottles on back and a 2 litre bottle strapped to my gun) had a window wiper tube running from the bottles on my back to my gas mask so I could drink all night without removing the mask.

    Made one mistake.

    The suction/pressure of the tube and the necessity to hold the tube in my mouth all night resulted in a constant movement of liquid...meaning I couldnt stop drinking no matter what all night. So got fairly hammered pretty rapidly.


    This year I was considering a Dr Robotnik outfit, I have the right build for it (fat) and the goggles, but on such short notice it would be impossible to get the right red jacket for it (the rest is simple black cotten tracksuit pants extra large pulled all the way up and taped to my runners for the base. homemade moustache of power.

    I also considered MR Monopoly and a pac man ghost. But I have a new plan that depending on my ability to find things over the weekend I should have something for the night. but sadly wont be game related...

    Wouldn't dare. Once I started trying my best and failing at breakdancing there would be a probability of spiky ball related injuries.

    And tman, female, thank you very much :P

    Que the inevitable 'pics or GTFO!' from someone typing with plum in hand.

    I'm going as Princess Peach. Making the crown out of shiny gold cardboard and sticking on gems that I'm taking off Penneys bought jewellery. Going to have a little toad in my handbag. Wearing a victorian style shirt under a princess dress to get the correct collar.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,835 ✭✭✭unreggd


    Wear a Burger King crown! That'd be animal! :D


    K, need advice

    Which Scoprion mask should I make?

    A or B?

    scorpionmaskia6.jpg

    I like A, its the new Scorpion from MK vs DC

    But I think the other is more identifiable

    Ill be makin it custom fit, gna make a plaster mould of my face tmoro then mould the mask over that :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    unreggd, you're leaving it a bit late aren't you?! Fair play if you get it done. I'd go with the classic myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,835 ✭✭✭unreggd


    What u mean late?

    The rest is done, just hafta make the mask, will take a few hours so it'll be done today

    'A' kinda looks like you're being mouth-raped by an anorexic facehugger.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,835 ✭✭✭unreggd


    Indeed

    But an evil hellspawned mega ninja wouldnt care :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    I thought a Pac Man Ghost like Blitz suggested would rock, so simple yet effective :D

    A MK related toon cossie would be nice this year, i'd have gone with Sub-Zero or MAYBE Baraka...minus the bald head so thats probably out the window:( I bet if someone went as Shao Kahn from MK people might mistake it for a Lordi costume :P

    In general games though, Cid from FF7, Raphael from Soul Calibur 2 or Koopa from Super Mario Bros would look good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    How cool are these?

    It was taken at the end of the night in the rain, hence the blotchiness

    The whopper mask I was makin just turned out crap, i left it too last minute! But it woulda been awkward to carry around anyways!
