About


I'm a woman who loves her video games. I'm also pretty much a nerd for all that is nerdy: MST3K/Riff Trax, Star Wars, Anime/Manga, Kevin Smith, X-men Comics, and of course all things video games. Someday, I would look to get paid to write for and/or about video games. I'm awesome, so it'll will probably happen.

I have a strong hatred for the Atlantic Ocean.



Yoshi BBFs forever: Me, Suff0cat, Wardrox, and ScottyG.

Preferred games are RPGs and puzzle games. I like the occasional FPS (Timesplitters: FuturePerfect being my favorite) and some racing (Burnout Reveeeeenge).

Current Games:
Burnout Paradise
Left 4 Dead
Space Invaders Extreme
Harvest Moon Island of Happiness
Chrono Trigger DS

Alright, PAX is fast approaching and I need help! Last year a did a couple of fun cosplays: Pa Rappa the Rapper and Yukari (Persona 3). This time around I need help deciding what cosplays to do.

Personal requirements:

I don't want to do any SUPER sexy cosplay. I want to wear something that will be at least semi-comfortable to walk around in all day. I also don't want anything with crazy moving parts that will take forever to put together. It also needs to be something that I can realistically do (don't pick female characters with obnoxiously large breasts).

And no, I'm not cosplaying Cammy.

So, here are a couple ideas of my own I had, but I want your input for whether or not you like them/any other ideas you have.

#1 - Amy from Soul Caliber IV


Amy is little, like me. Getting a wig right will be a pain, but I might just cheat and do a curly wig in pigtails. I actually already have the skirt for this outfit. It wouldn't take too much tweaking from my mom or my crafty friends to get this put together either.

#2 Ulala from Space Channel 5

Um I fucking love this game. This cosplay would actually be super easy. My sister has a bad-ass Ulala costume from Halloween a couple years ago, and with her permission and a couple of adjustments I could make this work quite easily. I know I said no super-sexy costumes, but this would also give me an excuse to learn all of the dance moves from the game and dance all over the place for no reason, which is a definite plus.

#3 Rikku (FFX)

I want to do the FFX Rikku not only because her outfit is more classy, but also because it is fucking impossible to find a good scarf for the costume (I am a perfectionist and would probably kill myself trying to find one). It's probably (oddly enough) one of the harder cosplays to do just because of the ridiculous detail in her outfit. It looks deceptively easy, but with the crazy neckline, buckles everywhere and that strap thing on her leg, I would have my work cut out for me.

My cop-out cosplay would probably be Celeste from Mirror's Edge. I'll probably only do it if I run out of time/money for my other cosplay ideas.

So, feedback plz? kthnx.

ULALA ALL THE FUCKING WAY!
I too am super-obsessed with that game.
DEFINITELY Ulala. Definitely.

I would LOVE you forever.
Ulala!
Amy. Definitely Amy
Go as Colette! ;)

Vote: Rikku.
Vote Ulala!
ULALA FOR THE WIN
I would sex you up if you went as Rikku....

That being said, you probably want to choose someone else.
I say Amy.. I love her fucking outfit. =]
I can't wait to see the results!!
By the way, it just isnt a video game character if they dont have obnoxiously huge breasts. I just doesnt happen. Unless they are 12, then they are moderately sized.
Cait Sith.
Off of your list: Rikku.

In all honesty though I'd like to see a cosplay of Naoto from Persona 4.
I never played any of these games but I chose Ulala.
I haven't seen enough Ulala cosplays so yeah
Ulala would be fantastic :D
Wardrox! I want to see you cosplay as him!.......err I'm mean rikku
If you dressed like Ulala, I would dance behind you like one of the tourists you saved. So, there's your incentive.
Be naked, I'm sure everyone will agree.


Goddammit I'm creepy :(
Cammy! :D



No, but in all seriousness, either Amy or Rikku will do fine.
Miki from Idolmaster.
Rikku, definitely.
ULALA!!
Ulala '09.
you could definitely pull of a good Chie from Persona 4! Also, Rikkulala.
any of the three would be good, but personal vote goes to Amy.
I'd say Ulala.
Rikku, show FFX some well-deserved love!
Go with Ulala. Rikku gets cosplayed all the time, Space Channel 5 needs more representation!
Ulala!
Even better, go as Space Michael Jackson!
From you list . . . god so tough . . . must let bias choose RIKKU though!

I know you said no "super sexy" ones or such, but there's not enough love for ETNA or MARLE or SHIKI! I change my vote to SHIKI! ^_^
Amy or Ulala since Rikkus have been done to death.
Ulala and it's easy to do too! Nor cost you an arm and a leg :)
ULALA!!

Then you can dance and report the news without people thinking you're tripping on acid!
@Senisan82

I was thinking of doing Chie...NCS has the track jacket for sale, buttons and all...but as I remember it was pretty expensive...
well hunnie, i know you love rikku and have wanted to do her costume for a long time but i really think ulala would be more fun for you. and it's more original. EVERYONE does rikku.
Rikku is overdone. I vote for Red XIII. Or Quina Quen.
It's a coin-flip between Ulala or Amy for me. Your choice.
ULALA !
Also,

Make Wardox go as Space Michael.
SOMEONE BE MY SPACE MICHEEEEEEEAL!
