I’m biased here, since she’s my main, but Mercy has the best in a game full of great character designs. So of course, when someone pulls off quality Mercy cosplay, it’s a sight to behold. And this is a sight to behold. Check out the detail on Shappi’s costume here! The panels on the armour,…
Mikhail Rakhmatullin and Joshua Min are two of the artists who worked on Netflix’s Stranger Things. Here’s a collection of some of the stuff they did for the show. SPOILERS BELOW These images show the Demogorgon in all its plantface glory. Which is nice, since you never really get a good look at the thing…
We’ve already seen some Horizon Zero Dawn cosplay, but here’s some more, shot in one of the only places that can match the game’s demo for its “giant trees and snowy mountains” look: Norway.

Jannet “Incosplay” Vinogradova and Ardsami know what the kids like in their Overwatch fiction. It’s butts. They like butts. We’ve seen Vinogradova’s Widowmaker before; it’s one of the very best pieces of Overwatch cosplay on the planet. Here’s a new shot of it:

While he’s one of the more impressive creature costumes in The Force Awakens, Grummgar spends his entire on-screen time sitting on the couch. Unlike this cosplay, which can get up and move around and do space mercenary stuff wherever the hell it wants. Of course, this kind of quality is no surprise: it’s by Julian…
Such never dying. Wow. UPDATE:
When I opened an email about a “Transformers cosplay fan film”, I feared the worst. A CG-filled compilation of cringe, with bad Stan Bush covers. Nope. Turned out it was the opposite. GENERATION 1 is the perfect celebration of a corny cartoon, it’s giant heads and emphatic gestures nailing the goofy tone of the original…
It was surprising enough when your vacationing editor-in-chief discovered last Thursday that Donald Trump was also in Portland, Maine and was about to give a speech a few blocks away.

Cosplayer William “Billy” Morris was on his way to a cosplay shoot in NYC on Saturday when, planning to cosplay at the event, he hopped onto a train. He probably shouldn’t have taken his fake rifle with him. Dressed as Suicide Squad’s Col. Rick Flag, Morris had the very real-looking modified air rifle (pictured above)…
It is a rule of the internet that, when a fandom is taken too seriously, it will develop its own special brand of self-mockery. But how does that happen exactly? In the case of dark fantasy manga Berserk’s 26-year-old fandom, it happened when the stale franchise’s subreddit fell into the hands of an over-pious fan.…
In 2012, Kotaku’s Stephen Totilo looked at the case for video games as an Olympic sport Could Counter-Strike or League of Legends ever be part of the Olympics?
