The Joker Will Not Abide A Zelda Gangnam Style Parody

Seven days down. Eleven of the best pieces of cosplay in the world. One terrific Master Chief. One amazing Wonder Woman. One regrettable popular culture parody. Hats off to the lady in the Monster Hunter 3 outfit, too, for cosplaying as, well, someone from Monster Hunter 3. It’s always nice to see people skip the obvious franchises and choose the ones with the colourful costumes and the ridiculously over-sized props. To see the larger pics in all their glory (or so you can save them as wallpaper), right-click on the “expand” icon on the main image above and select “open in new tab”. Fancy Pants is a look at the world of cosplay (costume play), where people dress up as their favourite video game characters. Sometimes it works! Sometimes it…yeah. As seen on Narga-Lifestream.

Cosplay Evolved at EB Expo 2012

Every major convention worth it’s salt makes way for a bit of cosplay. The EB Expo 2012 was no different, holding a cosplay competition on the last day of the event. After a preliminary round early in the day, seven competitors were invited back to the EB Arena to take part in the Grand Final of the Cosplay Evolved competition. The arena was packed out for the event, which was part of the closing ceremony for the entire show, so after an extra heavy dose of dub step gaming themes, things got underway…
Every participant was preceded by a video short introducing themselves as their cosplay character, and then proceeded to strut their stuff for the audience and the panel of judges.
First up –Clayton Carmine from Gears of War 3. This was one of the most impressive costumes around the Expo and looked great on the big stage. A decent video introduction was followed by a skit that quickly shot through Gears of War 3, throwing in some props and some humour. The second entrant changed the tone of things as a Walking Dead Zombie; the usual zombie shuffle spiced up with a quick rendition of Michael Jackson’s Thriller.
Deadpool was keen to play up the fourth wall breaking with a brave comedy skit, but despite a few giggles didn’t quite manage to pull it off – props to that competitor for having the nerve to try and make a huge audience laugh. An Uncharted skit featuring Drake and Elena also brought a bit of the bizarre, bringing in a strange crossover in the form of the Joker from the Dark Knight – of course sporting the famous nurses outfit, complete with a dangerously short skirt!
A fierce representation of Dragon Age II’s Flemeth showed off a highly detailed costume, with an impressive bit of hairstyling and a bodice littered with studs. A young Ocarina of Time Zelda provided a bit of sweetness and light, posing her way through the end sequence of the game.

The best was certainly saved till last, with a witty and confident skit from Megaman’s Plantman (technically a Plantlady). Everything fell into place for this participant, a vibrant costume, a funny skit, and a great bit of charm and personality.
After a brief interlude to conclude the results, the judging panel returned and the top three were announced. Walking away $250 in third position was Flemeth, followed by Clayton Carmine in second place, picking up a cool $500 in EB vouchers. The biggest prize of them all went to the clear favourite, with Plantman walking away with a massive $3000 worth of EB vouchers – surely enough to keep even the most avid gamer supplied for quite some time.
Congratulations to all the participants and of course to the winner – enjoy blitzing your local EB games store…

20 Cosplay Photos from New York Comic Con 2012, part 1

Last year New York Comic Con (NYCC) drew over 100,000 attendees, and although the numbers aren’t out yet, this year looked equally packed. These con-goers came to meet the pros and the people who love them, and many of them were dressed for the occasion. That means it’s time for cosplay.

Cosplayers brought their A-game to the convention, and friend and gamer Marco Lemos was there with me to record the action. We were dazzled by the craftsmanship that went into these costumes. See for yourselves. (Some photos by Marco Lemos, used with permission.)

Frag Reel Friday: EB Games Expo 2012

This week, Frag Reel Friday takes a look at footage from the recent EB Games Expo in Sydney's Homebush, Australia's largest gaming convention.

The EB Games Expo has developed into Australia's largest trade show for video games, but the event wasn't always the big public affair seen at Sydney's Showgrounds earlier this month.

For a majority of the last decade, EB Expo was a largely similar experience to what gamers came to experience in Sydney and the Gold Coast last year - but the event was held for EB employees only. Trent Weekes, national events manager for EB Games, last year said the internal conference was already Australia's biggest gaming fair.

And in truth, Australians have been crying out for years for an event to match the scale and scope of something like the E3 Entertainment Expo or the Penny Arcade Expo (the latter of which will debut in Australia next year).

But it wasn't all about the new games: there was a tonne of other events on show, including a series of tournaments for the local competitive gaming communities, a large Cosplay exhibition, forums on gaming and more.

We'll start the coverage in reverse order with footage of the Ladies in Gaming Panel hosted by Geek Bomb. The forum featured Stephanie "Hex" Bendixen and Janet Carr from the ABC's own Good Game; as well as the Asian regional PR manager for Electronic Arts, Snezana Stojanovska; founder and editor-in-chief Tash Richards; Convict Interactive CMO and programmer Rebecca Fernandez; and Swinburne University professor (and avid cosplay fan) Kirsty Sculler.

The Australian arm of gaming media outlet Gamespot also hosted a few panels of its own, including one looking at whether Australian gamers were being overcharged on games and one talking about the local professional gaming scene. Panellists include former managing director of Sega Australia Darren Macbeth, Polygon's Tracey Lien, former 2K developer Bryan Ma, Derek "Dox" Reball from professional gaming Team Nv, Steve "PyroZero" Androu of The Shadowloo, and eSports consultant Craig "pandan" Warren.

The Cosplay fans turned out in force for the weekend, with stage shows across Saturday and Sunday showing off some amazing - and some unusual - costumes. Plenty of people were happy to strut their stuff despite the crowds, whether it be in front of the lights or just on the floor in front of random people. There was even a set of cosplay-themed skits screened at the final
