If there’s one thing I have to admit I’m kinda not into, it’s cosplay. Partially because that’s an enormous amount of time that could have been dedicated to something productive, like developing a death ray, and partially because it sits at that weird locus that nobody really talks about, namely nerddom and sex. You’re never quite sure with some cosplayers whether they’re doing it for fun, or if they’re getting their rocks off, especially if it involves some sort of BDSM look.
Still, unless they’ve got some serious emotional issues, none of that extends to the cosplay video below, which is actually pretty impressive. As in, these would actually be passably good special effects in a mid-’90s adaptation of “Mass Effect”. Congratulations, ladies and whoever happens to be in that bulkier suit, and we’ve little doubt effects companies will be in touch:

GROAN.
Cosplay is making geeks into pariahs.
Maybe so, but I would fuck that black haired chick
WOW!. I love Mass Effect and Sci-Fi but this is the worst, most cringe inducing drivel I’ve ever seen.
They’re like disney animatronics – except actually live so its less creepy to want to have sex with them. Not a whole lot less, but less still.
WOW
It’s funny that the contest – which was about the costumes – isn’t being criticized for not being as good as a movie or TV show? You realize it’s a costume contest, right? Pull your heads out of your butts.
