Did anyone see that site where these guys had made videos doing hilarious gaming cosplay, including Tetris? I can't find it again.

― Laura H. (laurah), Friday, 30 September 2005 11:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Here it is! http://www.mega64.com/

The Paperboy one is so, so funny.

― melton mowbray (adr), Friday, 30 September 2005 11:50 (twenty-one years ago)

That Paperboy one is great! I'm not sure how I feel about their methodology, though. That paper guy was a pretty good sport about being pranked, but a lot of the reactions from bystanders in the other videos aren't so pleasant to watch.

― Chris F. (servoret), Friday, 30 September 2005 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

It's kinda like Jackass for geeks, isn't it?

Or at least out-of-shape guys who can't skate.

― pr00de, where's my car? (pr00de), Friday, 30 September 2005 22:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought the same thing, it'd be lovely if they could play nice. The Paperboy video really is something though. It's like my childhood thoughts of "I wonder what these people are actually doing, and what they'd look like in real life" come true.

Ive seen a few really cool looking people dressed as Bender before. But just as bad, some really awful overweight guys-being-fry or even worse, girls-being-Leela aargh my eye(s).

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 17 February 2006 05:52 (twenty years ago)

I kind of like cosplay! I wish it was something that normal humans did rather than being shameful and awful.

I think it is your duty to do a special Gamer Cosplay gone bad liveblog of that panel on this very thread.

still lolling at Alright, let’s be real here, Jubilee actually has one of the worst costumes in the history of time to begin with, so it’s not this girl’s fault she looks like a lunchlady.

i'm only vaguely aware of the Jubilee craziness, but I have this feeling it's gonna be undone with the Marvel Crisis anyway

She has since been turned into a vampire where she gained vampire-like powers.

thanks wikipedia for that laser-like insight

― bizarro gazzara, Monday, 23 February 2015 14:52 (eleven years ago)

That Jubilee craziness is total nonsense that actually worked much better than you'd think from reading a capsule description.
