Wondercon 2014

Hey all, last week was Wondercon in Anaheim. I was glad to return. I haven't been in years, and Comic Con's kid brother is an easygoing, nerdy good time. Two panels I enjoyed were the psychology of Star Trek and Star Wars, which very much turned into the deserved topic of the psychology of bullying; and a panel on the sci-fi/nerd-appeal movies of 1984. Seriously, take a look at how many of your favorite movies were made in 1984! Neat, huh?

I was saddened that the Axe Cop panel was cancelled, especially as I've put so much new work into my costume. I also wore my Aperture Science Test Subject gear, and teamed up with Molly on Sunday for Marty McFly and Doc Emmet Brown. Check out the pics:


Zoidberg!


Interviewed by and defending Wondercon from Bad Guys with Wonder Woman and Supergirl.


Axe Cop with Khal Drogo. I loved how much each of us was stoked on the other guy's costume and couldn't wait to take a picture. I love Drogo, he was one of the last honest men near Westeros.


Earth-shattering dawwwww coming from these mini Goku and Finn.


A titan! I'LL CHOP YOUR HEAD OFF!


In the afterglow of The Winter Soldier, Captains America were very popular.


A well-structured Belle with a fantastically repurposed Chewbacca doll as the Beast.


Bring Your Daughter To Work Day is a perfect time to have her tested. I was actually very encouraged by how many kids under-12 were into my Test Subject costume. It shows good taste in games and puzzle-solving skills.


Been seeing a lot of Mary Poppins cosplay, lately...


Awesomely unwieldy Doc Oc.


John and Yoko. My stepmom would be thrilled.


One of my favorites! Look closely...this is a tactical Team Rocket grunt, and check out his bandolier full of Pokéballs!


Posing with Tac Rocket, and Zapp Brannigan making everyone uncomfortable.


Hey, it's Xander! Maybe you've seen him on King of the Nerds, or unboxing Loot Crates! Seriously cool dude, a peach.



Loved these Dinoco race team suits.


Great Scott! Wondercon Day 3!


Smooth Lando, just loving your momma's flapjacks.


And some Wall-E gear. I'm certainly no stranger to dressing up girls like robots.

What I've Been Playing:
  • Main Campaign: Fez, Diablo 3
  • Side Quest: Rogue Legacy, Luftrausers
