This sucks. I need a costume idea for a Halloween party. I would prefer a good video game character, but it needs to be cheap, and easily recognizable. And it also needs little effort to put together/make. Anyone got a suggestion?

[Split Infinity]

This is one of those times when I start to doubt your age.

Why not go as the King of All Cosmos from Katamari Damacy? I'm sure it would be easy to do.

[Split Infinity]

I'm not sure most people would recognise it though.

My older brother is the one hosting the party with his wife. Why do you think I want something simple?

[Someone Else]

I'm dressing up as Slash. Just get a top hat, a good black shirt, jeans, shades and lots of over-compensating accessories.

http://www.dereksherinian.com/photos/summertime_videoshoot/slash.jpg

Sans the cigarrete and the guitar... and the tight pants.

[Folcon]

I have to agree on the skipping the tight pants part. Tight pants + fat ass = bad combo.

Come on guys, any other ideas?

[Someone Else]

Oh and you'd probably need a wig too.

You could always dress up as Mario and get a friend to be Luigi. That would be fun.

[Folcon]

No friends worth going with. I've considered Cloud from FFVII, but, most of the people there are friends of my brother or classmates of his wife whom is in law school. So I dought most are big enough gamers to recognize it.

[Split Infinity]

How about a ghost? That's pretty simple... =P

Um, no.

[Eugine]

hmm, in 'Halloween', aren't you suppose to look scary? If not, go as Gaara :P

[Folcon]

But no one would know who he is, I want something recognizeable by people who don't watch anime or play many video games.

[Toasty]

escout, on Oct 8 2007, 07:15 PM, said:

Um, no.

Oh come on. Tingle's scary, and just about EVERYBODY knows who he is. It's the perfect costume!

[Ironsight]

Here's an idea. Get one of those "My name is:" stickers, and write GOD on it.

[Caael]

Ridley

Nah, go as Stewie from Family Guy.

[Toasty]

ROFL.

[Folcon]

Accutaly, that might work. I need to think about that.

[Ironsight]

C'mon, everyone knows who GOD is, and it takes two seconds to do. The hardest part would be finding a sticker.

[Someone Else]

^ lol!

[Folcon]

I've considered going as a Mudkip. Then I could go up to random people at the party and say, "So, I hear you like me." But since most, if not all, are not gamers, I don't think anyone would get it. And it might get my ass kicked.

[Nosferatu]

Samus. Be the opposite. A guy that everyone thinks is a girl! Oh! (Cause people thought Samus was a guy at first so oh!)

I'm getting pure red contacts at the end of the month. Pure red eyes. How is that NOT awesome?

[Someone Else]

I always used to call Samus a he. :C

[Nosferatu]

...I could make a joke there but I won't.
I would ****ing go as Shadow. I'm not even kidding.

Or I could just throw firecrackers at kids. Fun stuff.

[Someone Else]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/64/Metroidprime3_1.jpg
Not always easy to tell... rofl. You can kind of see a feminine curve at the abdomen but otherwise, mostly looks like a robot.

[Nosferatu]

Chest.

And how did you pull that up so quick?

[Someone Else]

Nosferatu, on Oct 15 2007, 04:02 PM, said:

Chest.

Yeah, but it could also just be an extra layer of armor to protect the heart area.


And wikipedia for the win.

[Folcon]

But a Samus costume would be hard as hell to get the materials and make. Let alone how much it has to cost.

[Nosferatu]

Who cares? It's Samus!

[Folcon]

I want to try and keep this costume under $50 if i can.

[Toasty]

I'm telling you. GO AS TINGLE.

[Folcon]

NO!!!!

Maybe I'll try for Zorro.

Dear God no. Apart from the fact that Yugi sucks, I look terrible in purple. It's just not my color.

If it weren't for the fact that no one would recognize the costume, and the whole issue with my refusal to wear tights, I could go as Frieza in his final form. It would basically be just a white latex suit with purple spots.

Go as Ryu from Street Fighter. Not hard to pull off.

[Toasty]

GO AS MARIO LOL

I might, I just need to find a place that sells what I need and is nearby. It might be time to bust out map quest.

I just don't know how many people would know who I was suppose to be. I know my brother would, but his wife won't. I want something that more then just one or two people will know. I don't know, maybe I will do something simple like a ghost.

[Moonear]

Dress up as a geico caveman, everyone knows who that is.

[Folcon]

Maybe I'll go as Kenshin, from Samurai X. If they don't know who I am, at least they should be able to tell what I am.

[PDM]

Go as MARIO

Mario is overdone.

Thats what I'm going as. Me and a friend are going as Mario and Luigi.

I suppose if I can find a plastic star or some other Mario themed item, I could do it, minus the mustase. I just need to get some blue overalls. I guess I can check Goodwill. And I could make a Starman out of cardboard. Mario may work.

[Moonear]

Now if only you could find a chick willing to go as princess peach...

[Folcon]

Most of the people at this party are not gamers according to my brother. Mario should be easier to identify than Peach, as he is the icon for Nintendo.

[Caael]

GO AS STEWIE!

[Lemontime]

Probably been said before, but dress as a giant penis.

[Aquamarine]

I doubt he would be recognized, Lemon.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Go as Bob Marley!

No seriously that's what I would do. ^^

[FlamingDuck]

There is a guy who looks exactly like Bob Marley at my school. It's kinda weird.

It would be funny if you dressed as Dumbledore, but you didn't know that Dumbledore is now geih. Then everyone would laugh at you and you would have no reason why. :P

All you'd have to do to pull of Zamus is get a light blue woman's wetsuit and "modify" it to fit snugly around your "boobehs". Which would obviously be water baloons. Then paint the pink thingies on the back. Though you might want to put on a corsage (sp?) to pull off her slender figure.

[Ironsight]

I was going to say something dirty, but I decided against it. You can thank me later :P

[Caael]

Toasty, that would both spoil my image of escout and Samus.

And if all your friends jumped off the edge of the Grand Canyon without a chute or bungie cord, would you? Or a handglider or anyother means of slowing or softening your fall.

[Moonear]

Dude, you sound like all of the parents in the world combined into a giant super-nagging parent.

[Folcon]

:P I know. It's sad isn't it?

Edit: Maybe I'll just wear a shirt with a picture of a video game character and my costume will be "_____ Fan" for whatever character is one the shirt. i do have one with the Blue Bomber, Megaman himself.

It's okay Escout. He's just going through his "be like everyone else" stage.

[Folcon]

I got out of that once everyone else got into the idea of getting drunk/stoned off your ass at age 14 was cool. Fortunatly, i found new friends.

[Laharl]

a friend of mine posted his top 10 halloween costumes on another board. 8 of which are appropriate yet still highly offensive

10: Tony Danza
9: Angry Jesus with a boner (Not making this up!)
8: Steve Irwin (with stingray)
7: AIDS
5: Giant Condom
4: Giant USED condom. D:
3: Giant Penis
2: Hitler

evidence! (top post)

make for an interesting halloween XD

[Caael]

Number one was totally uncalled for. Same for 8 and 7.



But to truly scare the kids, dress as Michael Jackson.

[Aquamarine]

Those are actually pretty good, laharl. But er... How do you dress up as AIDS?

[Laharl]

like this xD

And Caael i think some of the others are more unpleasant than Steve Irwin

good fun anyways, lighten up a bit.

Okay, this topic can be closed now. The party is over, and it was pretty fun. I got to meet some interesting people and hangout with my bro for a while. And I'll say this, being one of the only sober people at a party can be, interesting to say the least.

Did any drunk people propose to anybody?

No, but I will say that there were interesting costumes there. Some were a little disturbing and some were really good.

For some good costumes, there were some well done pirate costumes, a few Leatherface, Jason, and Freedy costumes, and someone who was soppouse to be a frozen guy.

For disturbing, a pair of Michal Jackson and little boy, and a guy walking around with a

dildo hanging out of his pants.

Of course, being a Halloween party, there were several girls there dressed very sluty, and they were hot.
