Over two minutes of Pacific Rim greatness

May 1, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

My expectations are getting dangerously high for Pacific Rim. This is never a good thing. Check out this trailer and tell me if I’m wrong. Add in Guillermo de Toro, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman and even Ellen (Glados) McLain – then tell me I’m wrong? I know! I might be wrong. It could all come […]

Fake girl geek? Er, fake girl bounty hunter?

May 1, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Dorkly have channeled into the on-going debate around “fake girl geeks” with this Metroid comic strip. Those who rally against “fake geek girls” suggest there’s a fashion to pretend to be geeky, to tap into the influential and growing culture, and often for commerical gains. There are plenty of counter arguments too – and I’m […]

This isn’t your average site in Paris. You have to wonder how it got there. Long ladders? With or without permission? Do the owners approve? Did the owners do it? What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below. Via Street Art News.

Fantastic faun cosplay

May 1, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

You don’t often see faun cosplay and probably because they’re a bit awkward to dress up as. However, Dutch cosplayer Psychara managed wonderfully. Look at those silts. I can’t imagine what pottering around the Elf Fantasy Fair silts would have been like.

Impressive ogre costume

April 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m not sure whether to file this as LARP or cosplay. This ogre costume was created for Halloween and resulted in many prizes for “best costume”. The orgre was created by 6’2″ Scott Carreras who has it on sale at etsy for $2,000 and he reckons a smaller person could wear the suit – but […]

A zombie snuggie

April 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Okay, so the description doesn’t use the word “snuggie”. I suspect that’s a copyright term now. Snuggler blanket is used instead. That doesn’t seem to do justice though. That doesn’t give the impression of shambling around the flat like a zombie. Fall asleep in this bad boy and people will know better to wake you […]
