Day of the Tentacle cosplay gone very, very wrong

Day of the Tentacle cosplay I was kind of hoping the fanboy guy I posted about last week would remain the worst case I’ve ever seen of obsession, and… well, he still is. But somebody started a thread on the Mojo forums today that is quite a contender! Fortunately the guy’s only describing his friends, but jeeze.

I’ll let the picture speak for itself. That is two people dressed up in Day of the Tentacle costumes at a cosplay convention, where basically a bunch of people dress up as video game characters. You’ll also notice black man Mario and Wario in the background, plus various others.

Now, you might be thinking this picture is bad in itself. But no, it gets worse.

Day of the Tentacle cosplay... with added Zelda Yes. That’s right. You’re looking at a picture of two guys in Day of the Tentacle costumes, in turn dressed up as Link and Princess Zelda from the Legend of Zelda games. Eep!

Update: I was a little harsh when I first wrote this post over a year ago, for which I apologise. In my book, if you’re passionate about something then you’re entitled to show that in whatever way you please; clearly a lot of effort went into these costumes, and I should have focused on that rather than what I thought of the people in them!

Quick Question: Do cosplayers wear their outfits to comic conventions or do they change when they get there?

Follow Up: How awesome would it be if one of them got pulled over on the way?

Come on, there are worse cos …-es to be … played. I am pretty rabidly anti-costumed-fan, but this is probably the least of many, many evils.

Purple should have been Zelda, though.

I’m not really that bothered by cosplay unless I’m familiar with the characters though. Well I am, but it only makes me “:~” when I see a character I like being all bollocksed up into a costume.

Worse things have happened than someone dressing up as a character who has decided to dress up as something.

Revisiting this post with a more rounded, refreshed personality, I think I was perhaps a little excessively harsh on this costume and now agree that it isn’t so bad after all. I think I was in the process of getting bitched out every week for not having a job at the time.

I think these costumes are actually kind of cute now, and the Zelda cross-over is kind of inspired. Sorry, whoever was in those costumes!

DotT is one of my FAVE games ever! And Zelda’s pretty badass too, it’s rather amusing to see the two combined. At least no one else will have the same costumes!! A+ for originality!
