Whoa. Is it OK for me to be worried about these people? Not because what they did is uncool -- in fact, it pretty much makes me look like a drooling yokel comparatively -- but by the sheer concentrated geekiness concentrated therein? Not only is the guy above wearing a Gameboy costume, but it's FULLY FUNCTIONAL as well. Jesus on a stick. Check out Engadget for the rest of their 2006 costume contest winners. I have to go work on my dual Wii vibrator/PDA for next year's win.

While that fully functional gameboy costume is pretty techy, it would have been a much more accomplished success if you had to punch the guy to play. A for kidney, B for spleen.

What the hell is that metal suit from? It looks like a bad crossbreed of a binoicle figure and the power loader from Aliens.

I think that metal suit is from the last matrix.. You know those bad ass robot machines that you can control.

The third Pacman costume is pretty lame compared to the other.

On a side note, some suggested spellings of "Pacman" according to Firefox:

-Coachman
-Maniac
-Manacle

WTF is a manacle? It would appear that it's some sort of handcuff...odd.

Ogre, I feel the need to 1 up you...

I would rip a baby apart limb by limb and shove it up her ass then proceed to rape her left ear while fisting her with my whole right arm to the point where she is screaming in agony. At that time I would flip her around so she is facing up, slice of each of her boobs and shove them down her throat. Then, cut open her abdomen and rip out her intestines to place her in bondage. Then I would throw her out the window onto a large, snowy hill and use her dead, bloody, messed up body as a fun sled to end my day.

Oh man...I'm messed up. Well, I would never do that, I probably would do anything with her, but ya know...

Why exactly was the third picture first place and the second picture second place? The second picture was far more well done, it seems.

Niero...I saw that but I feel with this pic Destro went from a buff, strong, intimidating evil ruler to a sleezy, skeezy, italian in a bathroom that begs to say "Heeeeeeeeey!"


Kudos for trying, he shouldve bought one of those foam musicl bodys and spray painted it.

I'm going to offer a wild speculation about the "mech" photo.

I'm guessing the guy in the suit did not build the suit.

Obviously the guy in the suit works out.

Nerds don't work out.

The rail-thin nerd who built that mech prolly asked his neighbor or sister's boyfriend to pose shirtless in his mech.

That's the sad essence of the true nerd.
