Never underestimate the fortitude and willpower of cosplayers; when they go all in with a costume, they really commit. Enayla brought a whole new meaning to cosplayer dedication recently at PAX Prime. She dressed up as GLaDOS from Portal 2 and actually hung from a portable frame for four and a half hours (off and on, but still!). Yes, like dangling from wires. And she was upside down. Wow. It’s beyond impressive.

She made the frame from from PVC pipes and used parachute cords for the harness. She made the body of GLaDOS from Worbla and spent a lot of time getting the crackle effect on the armor just right. My mind is blown.

Check out more photos and a video of GLaDOS in action after the break.

3NES - Super Mario / Zelda / Metroid

Created by lerms: Thanks again so very much to Chogrin Muñoz for the invitation to this awesome art show, the 3NES Show at Bottleneck Gallery, a tribute to Super Mario, Zelda, and Metroid… Here’s my piece, which I decided to form as a tryptich, and some sketches and pictures of the process.

Dear Oklahoma City: There is either an extremely dangerous cult in your town, or there's someone with a sense of humor. Either way, if you aren't prepared for your soul to be devoured by a Lovecraftian horror beyond imagining, you might want to cancel your reservation at the Paseo Grill.

These are so cute it’s almost a shame they’re underwear that most people won’t ever see. Each pair of these panties is made to look like a different animal is on the back and they even have little ears. There are a variety of animals to pick from including a fox, pig and even a bear.

Yesterday, when the 2DS was first announced, some outlets made sure to tell folks that it was not, in fact, a joke. But it kind of sounded like one, right? Enough that it shouldn't be surprising that someone predicted something much like the 2DS years ago—2011 to be exact—as an April Fools joke.
