Day of the Tentacle cosplay gone very, very wrong
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.
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?
