In my mind, the idea of going for Halloween as the Big Daddy from BioShock seems really, really cool. Of course, people would stare and freak out over your costume, and you'd have a good shot at winning some costume contests. Then I remember that it's hot as hell in Miami and that I might actually die inside the costume while trying to win a contest with it. Ok, plan aborted.
For those of you who reside in cooler climates, this
Big Daddy costume is actually on eBay for a fairly reasonable starting bid of $250. The seller mentions that he won two contests with it, but the only downer is that it cannot be shipped, so local pickup only. It's in Brick, new Jersey-- perhaps it's time for some lucky guy to take a road trip?
[Update -- this seller will ship the costume after all -- check out the auction listing for the details.]

Oh and if I was wasted and walking home from a party and I saw that costume, I'd likely shit myself and/or find myself a wrench.
HAHAHA, living in jersey just got better!
"...starting bid of $250"
Oh, nevermind then.
Cons: Broke college student. :(
Fuckin' badass.
....BAD ASS. I want it. Alas I am brokes.
Too bad it's in New Jersey, I would have bought this for 250 clams. I wanted to mope around at work with this on, slowly walking thru the different rooms.
