    Is he the same guy that some Japanese rockabillies tried to beat up because he was walking around their turf being an ass? I know the idea sounds cool, but in practice, while you may want to interact with the world in that fashion, nobody else wants to interact with you. #cosplay

    .... Why does the image on the front page look higher res. than the one in the article? I don't think it is size, as other than being cropped, the images look about the same size?

    Ah there's much better pictures at the link... You can actually see the details there... Love the one showing the hand.

    Heh, that's pretty cool, but why does he have a bike lamp on a pole sticking out of his back? Is that the Camera? If so, shouldn't it be higher like someone else suggested? He can't sit, can he? Bringing that camera up a lot will slove the problems of sitting and seeing where the damn heck he is going... Even in PSO you could sit... though only if you had a keyboard or something?

    He's also missing his name, class and level floating above his head, in neon letters.

    Maybe he'll do that in a Patch?

    Also, is that some kind of one way window for the visor, or is he going around blind? Wait, that's a camera on his back and he's seeing himself third person? Heh, reminds me of a bit from an early DiscWorld Novel...

    @Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): I think it's a head mounted display screen, so I reckon without that camera he's pretty much blind.

    But yeah, what he really needs is like 5 cameras, not one; the one-camera setup is like a car accident waiting to happen. #cosplay

    @Helba: There was a bit in one of the first few DiscWorld novels where Rincewing found a Helmet that gave him a Third Person View...

    He commented on how useless that was, as it meant someone could fall down a hole right in front of them...

    I think he needs to add a collar attatched to the helmet, with a camera attatched that is held behind and above his head, that will turn when he turns his head. He could perhaps make it somewhat elastic, so clipping it in place would mean he could turn his head and keep the camera static, if that was what he wanted, but he still needs to be able to see round corners.

    My guess he won't be wearing this anywhere near traffic, or jocks, or etcs... #cosplay

    @Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): It was one of the later novels, Interesting Times. Spoiler alert, but he uses the armor to control a golem army in RTS style. I didn't realize until now, but it's almost as if he's playing a game of ancient golem Pikmin--only he never figures out the controls. #cosplay

    It's cool and all when he stands still, but when he's walking, the environment looks abstract and the whole visual effect simply appears as though he's using a fisheye lens to record himself.

    Kinda made me feel a bit sick in the stomach watching the constant shifting and pulling of the sky... #cosplay

    Cool but I'm wondering why the camera isn't just a little bit higher so he can see in front of himself. That's a problem I always have while driving in the GTA games, constantly pressing up on the camera so I can see where the hell I'm going. #cosplay
