Press Junketeer  Posts: 437 Joined: 8 Sep 2008     | Wow, they really put some effort into making that. If that's made of metal nd not just plastic that looks like metal it must weight a tonne. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1534 Joined: 15 Feb 2009    | Wow, that's really impressive. Awesome. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1722 Joined: 20 Mar 2008    | Must...resist...envy... Also, could someone explain to me the origins of the term 'cosplayer'? I mean, I sort of get the 'player' part. But the 'cos'? |

COStume. These costumes are awesome, clearly a lot of effort. I could never manage something like that, I'm too lazy. |

fanboys they may be but at least there efforts went beyond the fanboys usual duties of shouting at each other on the internet |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 999 Joined: 11 Jan 2009     | That is awesome. They really put alot of effort in those costumes. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2495 Joined: 6 Apr 2009    | I wish I had one. Man I would freak the shit out of people walking down the road in that. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3574 Joined: 8 Feb 2009    | I've seen much better but A for effort. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1173 Joined: 1 Jul 2009  | I dont think anyone else should ever be aloud to cosplay unless they can do it to this degree ever again |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1905 Joined: 24 Jan 2008    | I've seen better, but 10 for effort. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4888 Joined: 10 Jan 2009  | This was a good cosplay. I could totally see a Fallout movie being made now, actually. It's a good idea: the concept is very Hollywood, and it doesn't have any identifiable characters to butcher. Think I am Legend but in the Fallout universe and with more suriviors. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 58 Joined: 31 May 2008   | Well, I don't quite see how the lush green forest fits in with the fallout aesthetic. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1794 Joined: 28 Dec 2008   | I would love to have a suit of power armor! |
Muckraker  Posts: 257 Joined: 4 Apr 2008  | This...makes me proud to be half Russian, I hate most cosplay, but, god damn this is awesome. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1192 Joined: 6 Oct 2008  | Ah, those good ol' crazy russians. I applaud your dedication to cosplaying from great games. |
Muckraker Posts: 262 Joined: 15 Oct 2008  | It's not fallout 3. Who the fuck would even want to cosplay fallout 3? Anyway this was supposed to take place some time between fallout 2 and 3. |

The Charlton Heston one or the original? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4888 Joined: 10 Jan 2009 |
The one with Will Smith in it. |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 642 Joined: 6 Mar 2008 |
The original ending or the alternate ending? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4888 Joined: 10 Jan 2009 |
I don't know which ending I saw: I think it was the original one, considering I saw it on a airplane. The plot isn't what I'm trying to communicate though: rather, it's the atmosphere. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 489 Joined: 12 Dec 2007  | Actually, I think they put just a tad more effort into this than necessary. The costumes look awesome, especially the power armor helmet and the indoor scenes. As said before, lush green shrubbery isn't very Fallout. And yes, I could imagine a movie about post-apocalyptic stuff, and...oh wait... Mad Max, Code 47, Children Of Men, Equilibrium...etc. On the other hand, an Equilibrium style movie would be awesome, just in River City and Megaton :) |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1549 Joined: 16 Aug 2008 | That is just too cool. In a kind of extreme fanboy, too much spare time way... But still amazingly awesome. It must have taken ages to make those BoS costumes. *is impressed* Also that pic of the BoS guy climbing down the ladder is claustrophobia inducing to say the least. |

not fanboys they go on the computer and complain they are well really dedecated fans |
Paperboy  Posts: 20 Joined: 10 Jun 2009    | I think it's costume =/ just takin' a guess there :) that's what I always say when explaining it to someone :) i'm probably wrong |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1072 Joined: 2 Feb 2009 | If I did ever decided to cosplay, thats how I would do it. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1970 Joined: 1 Jun 2009 | i didn't do so well in arts & crafts. so good for them. freakin' sweet looking. |

Russian Cosplayers Dress Up for Fallout 3
Those dedicated, slightly crazy Russian cosplayers are at it again, this time turning their obsessive attention to detail to the good old-fashioned post-nuclear fun of Fallout 3.
Maybe there's something in the water - radiation, perhaps, or vodka - or maybe it's the legacy of communism. Whatever's going on over there, it's driving Russian videogamers to dizzying new heights of dedication to their games. First it was S.T.A.L.K.E.R., which attracted dozens of people with shockingly well-made costumes and props to a pair of cosplay sessions that put North American efforts to shame. Now they've turned their attention to Fallout 3, the hit post-apocalyptic RPG from Bethesda.
I'm assuming it's not the same group that brought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to life but the effort and the results are very comparable. The real-life Fallout action focuses on the Brotherhood of Steel, with lots of power armor (not actually powered, sadly, but still some very nice facsimiles), scribes and initiates in light armor. There are also merchants, raiders and at least one ghoul, all running around in an appropriately bleak, blasted-out landscape. There's even a busted-up Lada!
I'm not sure what these people actually do at these things aside from pose for some very cool pictures, but it looks like fun nonetheless. Have a look at the whole thing at englishrussia.com.
