Destructoid and 2K Games are teaming up to give you guys the chance to win some cool BioShock schwag! Yay!
Entering is fairly simple: create your very own costume of BioShock's resident hulking teddy bear, the Big Daddy. Then, take a picture of it and post it in the comments. Simple, right? Some rules:
1. Please wear pants in the picture.
2. Photos must not exceed 550 pixels in width!
3. This is not a Photoshop contest, so it must be an image of you wearing a costume you created. Photoshopping a picture of a Bid Daddy's head over your own is unacceptable. That said, feel free to use Photoshop to add flair or text.
Two winners will receive a limited edition BioShock Xbox 360 faceplate (one of only 5001) and a BioShock t-shirt. Another lucky winner will receive only the t-shirt (you can use it to clean up your shame), but isn't that enough?
The contest will run from now until Tuesday, August 7th at midnight (EST). Our very own Niero has set the bar for this contest very high, so it's time to get creative. Good luck, have fun, and don't be afraid to make a fools of yourself.

Niero you're a monster. You look like you could put a bear in a headlock.
You get it!? Bioshock!? Underwater!? Very EXPENSIVE watch!? Fuck it I'm going to bed.
Nieroshock is the best game ever. Also you win at life.
Love,
Bioshock fangirl and all around nerd
Just a clarification: does the contest end on Sunday 5th or Tuesday 7th?
And it's ok if we post more then one pic? :D
Bye
So here's what Big Daddy would look like if he lost weight and was a bit smaller...
-Josua
I was going to build something in the morning, but then i thought sleeping is a better idea instead. :D
I figure this about covers it.
Or this, perhaps?
Big Daddy Indeed.
Click over it to see a "making of" gallery (funny stuff inside) :p
Lets start saying that I'm Italian, so my english is not as good as you could expect :(
Inside the Big Daddy that you see there is, in fact, a "Little Sister" :p Her name is Enza and she is my girlfriend who helped me making this costume (expecially for the legs and arms parts!) and accepted to wear it. I have chosen to make her wear the costume because she is shorter than me and all the proportions would have turned out correctly. We *LOVE* Bioshock and therefore we have decided to participate to the contest ^__^
I want to clarify that I used photoshop just for: balance the colors, add text and flair.
SOME DATA
Fun: A LOT!
Hours spent: ~30
Days: 5
Money: some :p
Aluminium foil: 60 m (OMG!). We used also A LOT of other materials, like for the legs and arms, or for the chest shield; it is NOT all made by aluminium foil, otherwise it would be broken all wearing it.
Colors: varnishes, acrylic, marker pencils (all this stuff used with various techniques)
Temperature inside the costume: near 45° hehe
Happy for: have created this thing, it was really fun and it scared my mother more then once ^^ I'm also happy with the impact of the final image
Unhappy for: in the final pic is impossible to see all the details we worked on, like the blood, the erosions made by water, the bolts (3 type of, modeled and colored one by one), the red bottle, and so on. Perhaps you'll want to see them lookin at the gallery (click over the picture up here)!
Luca and Enza
I would like to say, that is the most georgeous thing I have ever seen. And there are some pretty good entrys here, out of them all there are only 3 that really make the cut as good entrys. And yours is probly the BEST out of the bunch.
Amazing
you are soo going to win.
