Gamer Costumes

[Micah]

So I'm going to a party next month for uni where the theme is "Game on" (ie- dress as your favorite video game star).

I have no idea what to go as! My one thought was Link from Zelda (since I'm blonde ;p) but aside from that I'm unsure. What do you guys think? :)

You could go as Link, who is also blonde, in order to get away with wearing a skirt :P

If it is as you say, "dress as your favorite video game star," then perhaps you should...go as your favorite video game star! ^^ What are some games that you play?

Totally go as Pong!

Or a Rubik's Cube!

Hehe...Anyway, on a serious note; I reckon you could totally go as Link (not Zelda...that would be crossdressing...however that could be just as interesting ;) ). Your blonde hair would be perfect!

BEHOLD! Easy Costumes

For example:

See? Easy!
And any of your friends who are FPS-fanatics should get the reference. Even if you do not.

My suggestion is the scout:

However, you could always try something comical. Like a computer mouse...or A computer crash (where all blue--Blue Screen of death), or something like that.

Get a colored sheet, drape it over yourself and go as a Pacman ghost.

Oh and remember to cut eyeholes.

Well I actually originally said Link from Zelda in my first post (highlighted for ease :P)

The theme is actually "game on" - so they don't specifically say 'dress as your favorite game character'.

I was also considering going as pacman with some friends and have them as the ghosts :P

Hrm what others can you guys think of?
