Can I go in normal dress and convince them that my Mii is a valid game character?

The Birdo thing still scares the crap out of me...

Arg. I'm still having nightmares about that...

So, who's the unlucky fool who has to tell the Guinness people that video game characters aren't real?

Unless they mean cosplayers, in which case, I find it hard to believe they're actually going to beat out the conventions, even with a concentrated effort.

I just hope there's no one from Doku Doku Majo Shinpan

@Gladman: Doki Doki Majo Shinpan*

Let's see how many solid snakes turn up.

Someone needs to tell the good folk at Guinness that it doesn't make much sense to be the record authority and the one trying to break the record. It'd be like me being the referee in chewing my toenails and setting up a eat-my-toenail contest, with me being the sole contestant: I would enjoy a tasty meal but why should the rest of the world care? This post obviously will only make sense to someone like L Ron Hubbard or William F Buckley.

That lady has got some serious belly boobage going on. I hope it doesn't hurt. Poor little Asian girl. :(

no more Birdo! PLEASE NO MORE BIRDO!

@YUYU: I just want to see the anatomically incorrect Bridgettes... I mean, a girl dressed like a guy dressed like a girl... There's just something about that... It's like "I'm straight... right?"

The other thing I want is absolutely NO movie version Pyramid heads... They said GAME characters, not movie characters from movies based off games... I want old shape for PH with the smock and mittens, damn it, and skinny... Not ripped.

Then.... Hmm... Felicia and morrigan are always classic, as is various costumes for Mai Shiranui. THAT's what cosplay is all about.

You know, it's only 5:20 PM, but it sure feels like 2 in the morning.

@balgeary: Gross.

@Gladman: I know it was a spelling mistake, but Doku Doku Majo Shinpan still made me laugh.

Dibs on Tingle.

Ill show up as Glados

Kinda hard to proove when you've got cosplayers gathering up all the time... What makes them think that this event would be larger than other events that werent even recorded?

So who's got dibs on the L-block costume?

@KeroseneClimax:

Fok dat. Who's got dibs on the Choaniki costumes??

Birdo can go to hell.

@KeroseneClimax: i dont know, but she looks cute, i might have to buy a vowel :D

Does it have to be an actual real life gathering? Because if not, there are already some strong contenders.

@dunetiger : apples are red: Ah...y'all 'scuze me while I scrub my brain kthxbye ^_^

They already have an entry in Guinness for what you're thinking of; Its the largest parade of mascot characters, which tends to happen at furry conventions.

The post's picture reminds me of this comic:

plastic surgery and microwaves don't mix well

Dang, I wish I could go to this with my Knuckles costume.

Anyone got a Space Invader alien ship costume?

What? You have to get thousands of people then. You go to any gaming convention and you can see hundreds of cosplayers. They would have to gather thousands of people to make anyone seriously think they "broke" a record.

I have two strictly Anime and Manga stores right down the street from me and I see cosplayers all the time. My wife didn't know how big of a nerd she has on her hands till two years after I had her trapped lol. I really like some of the costumes. We were at one of the stores tonight and she called one group of kids a bunch of freaks but all the costumes were well done and damn near passable as street clothes (I couldn't tell who they were supposed to be this time around,) and honestly done better then half the crap on Project Runway.

That Birdo is disturbing though

if I was there, I would totally go dressed as the dot from Pong.

One more link to that Birdo picture and I'm ripping the cable from my wall. This is 10x worse than Goatse.

Now I have to go cry myself to sleep. Thanks.

I want numbers when this is done. I know damn well that I can use my connections to set up a time and place to beat any record that can come up with.

They're going to be doing that on my birthday? What's the point? It'd be better if they threw me a surprise party. :P

Isn't it kind of self-fulfilling for the world record bookkeepers to drag everyone out to a world-record-making event? Are they that desperate for new book content?

I'm just going to wander around London in nothing but a cardboard box.
Hm? "Video Game Character?" What?

@YUYU: Wonderful pun :)

Why are they holding this on a Tuesday? It would make a lot more sense to do it on a Saturday.

This is kinda completly off note, but nintendo is over 100 years old, wich makes it the oldest gaming company ever! It was made in 1889 and made playing cards, new the second part didnt know it was so old, just thought this was interesting.

how many people want to bet that a minimum of 300 people and a maximum of 2000 people who will end up showing in this event will be dressed as a Mario Character?

pictures

or it didn't happen.

kthxbai

:p

Shit, I better have my fiancee write out my itinerary as we speak!!!

It'll be like a giant convention. That's not necessarily a bad thing. I really want to see pictures of this even.

I can't believe GROWN MEN are complaining about about someone in a bad leather costume. The simplest things frighten you it's absurd. If you're really so "manly" grow some balls and get over it.

@Zeouterlimits: I wondered if someone would get that

@TheDollHouse: Were you not informed that the Internet regresses maturity by roughly 10 years? Proven fact.

@TheDollHouse: Holy shit shut up.
