Wow todays xkcd had me laughing out loud for litterally about 2 minutes.

Might be a little squished so just click it to see it on their site.

I’ve been trying to figure out what to do for Halloween this year so I was looking around on eBay (you all know how much I love the eBay) for cool costumes. Of course I’m looking for geek costumes, like game or Star Wars related or some such. Anyway I started seeing tons of really cool costumes and a bunch are even custom made and super nice so I thought I’d share it. Anyone who wears these costumes gets props from me and tons of geek cred!

Game Costumes

Mario Brothers

These costumes are pretty sweet and make for good Mario brothers costumes. The kid throws me off a bit though.

Wario Cap

Well whats Mario without Wario? Lots happier I suppose heh. Anyway this isn’t a whole costume but its sweet and I want one. Also there are Mario Bros ones.

Cloud from Final Fantasy

I’m not the biggest Cloud fan myself. He was cool enough I suppose but there are some who go crazy for him, like how everytime I play a game online I run into about 8 Clouds, Cloudz, Cluds and others. Either way this costume is top notch.

Link

OMG Link. Heh this costumes pretty sweet. Certainly won’t fit me though, maybe for your kids.

Star Wars Costumes

Now these Star Wars costumes are truly incredible. There are some fantastically put together ones. Basically costume masterpieces, may be a bit pricey though

Darth Vader

This is the cream of the crop. They call this the supreme edition and it is easy to see why. It is fully molded and looks like it just walked off the movie set.

Yoda

Yoda is my favorite Star Wars character and there’s several versions of him available. This children’s one is pretty cute and the dog one is just sweet.

Chewbacca

This Chewbacca is another supreme edition and it is equally incredible. I’d love to have this costume. But I feel sorry for anyone in a hot climate who wants to wear this for halloween Probably the perfect costume if you live in in Alaska though.

Custom Made Tie Fighter Pilot

This is a very well done custom made tie fighter pilot uniform costume. It looks very authentic and you can tell they really put some effort in the details.

I could go on listing Star Wars costumes forever because there are so many nicely done ones but I’ll stop now and move on you can thank me however you wish.

Comic Book Characters Costumes

There are some very nicely done comic costumes right now that look to be custom made. Every geeks dream though most of us probably don’t fill out the tights like the real superheros.

Green Lantern

You gotta love the Green Lantern he makes stuff materialize out of nowhere and basically makes no sense. Still cool though. This costume looks custom made and is very cool.

The Flash

More fantastic costume work done by the same person here on the flash. Very well done and with removable hood as well so you can reveal your secret identity if you desire.

Spiderman and Venom

Wow this is even better. Spiderman is one of my favorite heroes and these costumes are spectacular. (In this issue of Spectacular Spiderman Peter goes trick or treating) [sorry…]

There are lots more comic costumes as well. This same seller apparently makes these sweet custom costumes and has a ton of them up. Also available is Batman, Shazam, Aquaman and more.

Well that’s it for now. It’s just too bad we can only wear one costume for Halloween. Hmm maybe that’s not true!

Also I found another cool costume site if you want to look through lots more costumes its called FlyCostumes.com

Star Wars: LEGO’s Ultimate Collectors Millennium Falcon Unboxed, Now Shipping with 4-pound Manual - Gizmodo

For only $499 you can get the biggest LEGO set ever made. This thing is crazy! It has 5000 pieces and a 4 POUND manual! If I only had a spare 500 bucks.

Looks like us geeks are starting to get our props from Hollywood. Many geek shows are becoming more and more successful and a lot of new ones are coming out this season. Wired has written up a list of reviews of new geek shows for this season. I’ll probably be checking out at least a couple of these. This may be a list of only new shows I’m not sure but one show that’s definitely missing if not is Heroes. That show is amazing and I geek out every time it comes on!
