Happy Halloween, Geeks! In honor of the one day a year most of us are comfortable dressing up as a Gordon Freeman, Guybrush Threepwood, or Samus I bring you a kid way cooler than you or any of your children, present or otherwise, will ever be. Seriously, there is no way any of you have a better costume than this kid. Any claims to contrary will require photographic evidence.
I am a bigfan of cosplay, and Halloween is like cosplayer Christmas. Or... just cosplayer Halloween I guess. While this year I didn't end up making a costume (my plans for a Weighted Companion Cube outfit sort of fell through), my equally crafty friends went to town. Here is a photo of my good friend Kristen dressed as a piranha plant from Super Mario Brothers. That lady is so crafty.
This past weekend we did some pumpkin carving, and of course being a gigantic geek I had to do some game related pumpkins. So here we have my wife's generic pumpkin, my Katamari pumpkin and my ode to the Triforce. You can see my repositioning of the pumpkin's stem to the Prince's antenna. Also you can make out the Sharpie™ marks from where I cut the pieces out. I probably should have used non-permanent marker...
