@ Kyttie
Why thank you! but none of those are me! lol
The only cosplay I have done you can see to the right in my profile, I just collect and show off cosplay! You would make a good Lulu!
Nice stuff again, especially liking the gotham ladies' interesting takes on the outfits. Does the person wearing the Alphonse Elric costume seem a bit short to anybody else?
@ neonie - other then lobster head and a few of the gotham girls being a little soft i think its a homerun and i wouldnt say any of them are really ugly.
bit of a mixed bag this week, some good stuff, love the ultima one and the taki.
and its nice to see some stuff thats slightly less sexual and more about creating somthing good. in some old posts you've had some cosplay that really arnt that great but really focus on sexualisation. nice to see some better cosplay without the need to 'show all' to have people like them.
I know!! I just don't have a lot of time between work, school and gaming. That's the same reason why i pretty much don't see TV anymore. Maybe when i get a PSP i can watch some again on the go.
Sup Dtoid users!!! My name is Meagan VanBurkleo but I often go by VirtualGirl on the interwebs. I am a recent graduate of the University of Minnesota, leaving with a degree in Graphic Design and Journalism / Mass Communications.
I recently was hired by Game Informer as a member of their online staff. It is a more than full time job but I am loving every second of it!! You can look for my stuff at Gameinformer.com!
I did not realize until the last couple of years what a huge nerd I am. Other than video games, I am a comic freak and I am becoming more and more obsessed with vampires and other crazy creatures.I am slowly getting in to Cosplay. I have dressed up as Lara Croft more than once without a reason, and just ran around outside... I get way to excited whenever I see anything Final Fantasy related....(Cant wait to buy my FF DS!!!!). I also worked at Game Crazy just for the perks. I cried uncontrollably when the Dear Friends concert was cancelled in Minnesota. I almost cried during the VGL concert, I love female game characters who are hot and kick ass, and never get pissed about the skimpy outfits they run around in. I figure its another defense mechanism, by distracting the enemies. I am lucky enough to hav to have met Miyamoto, gone to GDC, and now SDCC. I am hoping to get out to some more events this year!
I have four cats: Donut, Church, Tex and Zelda. I also Have two birds: Caboose and Sheila, and now a dog as well: Kairi. Zelda is self explanatory, and the rest with the exception or Kairi are from the Red vs. Blue Halo spoof. Kairi is named after the character on Kingdom Hearts. There are some fish in there as well. I think the mean one is named Sarge, not sure about the rest. Overall, I am a nerd and I love it. Talk to me about video games and comics and you will see how excited I get. I have been told that I am not nerdy enough however, because I have not played Table Top RPG's, so I might have to get in to a little D&D to reach full nerdom ...
I have been married to my husband Nick since August 14th of 2005, and I am loving every minute of it. He was my high school sweetheart and we had been together since we meet at band camp in 2001. I pursue modeling on the side and it is an amazing experience that lets me be things I could never be in reality! I have been a fairy, and Egyptian queen, a harem girl, a vampire slayer and an ice queen... who could ask for more!
Fav Video Games: Portal, The Darkness, Xenosaga, Fatal Frame series, Resident Evil (especially 4) , Kingdom Hearts, Tomb Raider, All the Zelda games (but Ocarina of Time is my favorite, Minish Cap is turning out great as well!), Lemmings, Mario Kart, any Final Fantasy game (but 7 blows them all away), Drakengard, Guitar Hero, Taiko, DOA, Halo, Beyond Good and Evil, Sonic, Pac-Man, Crash Bandicoot, Ledgend of the Dragoon, Animal Crossing, Pokemon Snap (O-yeah, I went there), Rampage, Mario Party games, Donkey Konga, Baten Kaitos, Goldeneye, Katamari Damacy...lots of other stuff.
Favorite Comics: Tomb Raider, Witchblade, Fathom, Necromancer, Soulfire, Soulfire: the dying of the light, Soulfire: Chaos Reign and Shrugged. I sometimes pick up The Magdalena, Aphrodite IX, Darkness and other comics with great art. I am a sucker for a pretty face. I am reading Civil War right now, but I usually pick up my comics from Top Cow or Aspen.
My other interests include: Drawing, modeling, paintball, Homestar Runner, Red vs. Blue, Rugby, Collecting lots of Tomb Raider Stuff for no apparent Reason, Graphic Design, watching an entire season of TV in one day...I want to learn how to learn how to box, but I think I need to pick between that and modeling...
My Game Room, the pride and joy of our house!
