I like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain. I lied, I don't drink. Rain's cool though I guess.

On a rather nerdy subject. As some of you know, I attend cons every year and yes, I do cosplay. As video game characters, usually. I'm not touching any anime cosplay. I like to think that I ast least have some shred of dignity left... Maybe...

Anywho, I am as of yet undecided on what to dress up as for next year's cons. Last year, I was the Big Sister from Bioshock 2, which earned me a feature on both Destructoid.com and Joystiq.com, as well as being contacted by the Character Technical Director of 2K Games (The company that makes Bioshock) and Colin Fix, the man who actually designed the Big Sister. This made me happy.

Anyhow, I've accepted the fact that I'll never be able to do something like that again and get that much attention, but whatever. I'm going to have fun this year anyway. The point is, I'd like your help deciding what costume I should do this year. Here's some ideas I have so far:

Codex from the Guild

Yue Ying from Dynasty Warriors 6

A female version of the Dead Space Armor

Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman Version, preferably)

Gaila from Star Trek (In her uniform, calm down boys.)

That's all I have so far. I'd love to hear suggestions if you have any. I'll update the list with whatever other ideas I like. Thanks.

You would make an incredibly sexy Poison Ivy.

Too bad I'd be poisonous.

I agree, be poison Ivy

My only beef with that is that it's been done over nine thousand times before. I kinda wanna be someting a little more obscure.

Poison or no poison, your lips on my body would totally be worth it. Now tht I think about it though you would make a really good Mara Jade too.

Ooh, good one.

A female version of the Dead Space Armor i love that game

I'm glad that some people are choosing badass over sexy.

No really I think Mara Jade would suit you. A redhead with a lightsaber, cool shit.

No kidding. Not sure I could do it justice though.

You could definitely pull it off.

It'd be easy enough, but I'd need a god damn Angelina Jolie body, lulz.

If I saw a picture of you dressed up as poison ivy, my vag would instantly be wet.

As if its not wet all the time anyway.

Let's discuss this on steam.

So I guess you're going with the dead space armor. I know you'll do an excellent job on it and everyone at the convention will be impressed I'm sure. I hope to see some pictures once you're finished with it.

Oh, there will be pictures. I'll be whoring it around as much as I can get away with, fear not.

Rubi Malone, from WET.

That would be badass.

omg. Female Dead Space Armor= hawt. I'd get down on both knees and propose if you do. well probably not literally, but i'd def you put you in my ''heroes'' section on my social network sites haha.

Well I think that's what I'll be going with.

Ooh, bit of variety there. I like it. But what of the year after? Will you choose yet another character from a game where a disaster sets the conflict?

I suppose so. Perhaps Fallout or Borderlands. Honestly, there are endless possibilities, as these kinds of games will continue to be produced. I was the cick from Portal the year before I was the Big Sister.

I say go with Poison Ivy. Also in you user pic your lips look weird, I knew something was weird then I saw it.

Wierd how?

They look fat like you got collagen injections

It might be the lighting. Or I might be related to Angelina Jolie.

I like your face, and the dead Space Armor covers that. but it is badass

Always the gentleman.

The scout or the medic?

If I were TF2ing it up, I'd definitely go as a Spy, but TF2 cosplay is done a lot.

The yue ying would be ace

Though she's rubbish in-game. Due to lack of character selection, perhaps not many would know of her.

Yeah, they need more badass female characters. Diao Chan's fun to play, but she's pretty slutty.

I would find something not quite mainstream (as far as cosplay goes) yet still recognizable. I have no clue how cosplay works, so I don't know what popular and whatnot. Anyways aside form my WET suggestion, here's two more:
The female from Mirror's Edge
One of the Princesses from Castle Crashers

One of my less mainstream ideas was a female version of the Tank Man NG logo, cutout tank and all. But yeah, I know what you mean. I don't like to do things that have been done before, which is why last year I dressed as the Big Sister from Bioshock 2, which still hasn't come out yet. I was the first one to do it, so it got a lot more recognition. The chick from Mirror's Edge has actually been done a lot, even though that's a great costume. As far as I know, a female version of the Dead Space armor hasn't been done yet though, so I think that's what I'll be going with.

You should defiantly do Faith from Mirrors Edge. That would be kickass! If you do I am defiantly going to con this year.

Meh, I'd have to get either a wig, or cut and dye my hair, and I don't look remotely... whatever race she is. Plus, it's been done a lot before. It's not exactly complicated.

go naked. simple and shit

This.
