MegaCon 2010 = Awesomeness

So today I went to MegaCon in Orlando. There was an insane amount of weird people in freaky costumes taking themselves way too seriously. As would be expected, the Orange County Convention Center was packed full of parent's-basement-dwelling, virgin, dungeon-and-dragon-playing, creepy-cartoon-porno-watching, never-grew-up, cross-dressing people walking around. I of course took the opportunity to take lots of pictures and now wish to share them with the world. So prepare yourself for the funniest and creepiest blog post of all time.

I have videos from the day too. I'll put those up later in the week.



These guys met as I walked up (they did not come in together). Batman was either deeply in character or had no sense of humor (I'm leaning towards the latter) and Deadpool leaned up to plant one on his cheek. I thought it was pretty funny.














Quick nerd out moment: How many people can say they got to take their picture with Star Fox? And no, the 5 people before me and tons after don't count.
















You know what I think of when I think "sanitary"? Getting a tattoo on the show floor of MegaCon. Interestingly, I think of the same thing when I think about the word hepatitis.
















This one is kinda hard to see, but the big white box in the middle is a woman dressed as a milk carton. Not sure how that plays into any comics. Or any pop culture references for that matter.















This woman seriously should have put this costume away like 5 years ago. Really, she should have burned it. While she was wearing it.
















These people take themselves way too seriously. Have you ever seen "Role Models"? You know those people that do that L.A.I.R. thing where they pretend to fight with swords and stuff? That's what these people were doing. They were really into it. Also, notice the guy in the back area. He is wearing full samurai armor and has a giant flag over him (which I think makes him either a general or a really big freak).











No caption really needed, except: "EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!"

















Ok, this guy's costume looks pretty cool. It even has a light where the chest piece is. It is also made piece by piece out of what is probably cardboard. Each overlapping piece is a separately cut piece of cardboard. Hundreds of them. This guy has WAY too much time on his hands.














Kudos to the guy who dressed as a heavy from Team Fortress 2 (I also saw a couple of Spies, and one really good Scout). More importantly though, the lady behind him in the red dress is wearing a leg holster with a gun. A real gun. I'm sorta curious how she managed to get in with it because they were stopping everyone with fake weapons to check them and this was quite obviously a real gun. Madness. Also illegal because even a Concealed Carry Permit means it has to be CONCEALED (aka, not in plain sight).










This guy is seriously game confused. Which is sorta like being gender confused, but a lot more embarrassing. I mean, in what game did Mario ever carry the Hyrule shield and sword? Fail.
