Since we always find pictures around Con of hot girls, we thought it would be nice to see some hot men for a change. Alas, no one takes pictures of hot men at DragonCon, so I couldn’t pull enough to actually do anything with. Now men, I didn’t say you weren’t there, I said no one takes pictures of you!
So instead we’ll look at some MMO costumes from last year and remind everyone that we are partying Saturday night, and we will be having contests of all sorts, costumes included! So please don your favorite MMO outfit and come party with us on Saturday at the Gathering of Heroes. (And no, it does not have to be a WOW costume!
14 more days! Is everyone ready?
I think villains deserve equal press time, don’t you? So last week, Bumble gave you the good guys, this week you get the bad. I deviated from the comic book scene a bit though, there are just some costumes that need to be seen.
I’ve recently heard much talk of Superheroes attached to DragonCon conversation. I suppose it’s a topic that’s always a brain fizzle away with many Dcon-goers, but between chatting about costumes and City of Heroes talk, it just seems to be more popular in conversation of late. So, in keeping with the times, let’s have more Hero pics!
This picture was created by Douglas Shuler, an artist for Magic: The Gathering. It’s an image he made from his City of Heroes Supergroup. Quite impressive.
Nicely done.
This is just awesome.
And this must be what Alfred sees on The Bat’s bad nights.
You may have noticed, if you picked up a copy of our schedule, that we are not having a WoW Costume Contest this year. (It still is a little embarassing that we had Jorgen and Craig from Funcom and Alan from SOE as judges for what was, in effect, a WoW costume contest last year.)
(Alan “Brenlo” Crosby, Jorgen Tharaldsen, and Craig Morrison, none of whom are big fans of World of Warcraft)
Fear not, my costumed brethren (and sistren)!
Some enterprising folks have taken it upon themselves to organize a WoW Costume group for the Dragon*Con parade this year!
(Wasn’t this contest supposed to be for ALL MMO’s? The Jedi is going to win “Best Non-WoW Costume” by default!)
After a month off to tend to various injuries (Krys hurt her wrist, and Grim busted up his knee), Krys and Grim are back with another SnarkCast. Everyone and everything is fair game for our snarktastic duo this time around. If you, or the game you love, find yourselves in our cross-hairs, take solace in the fact that you aren’t alone. We snark because we love. (Except Gold Farmers, nobody likes those little idiots.)
