BlizzCon Costume Contest
Last night's costume contest was immensely impressive. There were a total of 98 entries and all of them obviously took a lot of time -- and some of them clearly took a lot of creativity. I still think my personal favorite was the fellow who dressed up in a costume like the in-game Murloc costume -- he even ran across the stage just like the Murloc suit animation! However, with all of the great entries, he didn't take the top spot. Props for creativity have to go to the fellow who came to the contest dressed in a blue-and-white checkered box (if you don't realize, the checkered box is what the game shows when it doesn't have a model for something). We've got quite a few contest photos in our gallery, but sadly many of the contestants moved very quickly from one side of the stage to the other, resulting in a lot of blurry images. But there's a decent shot of the four winners, including a Human Rogue, a Moonkin (he even did a Moonkin dance for us!), a Tarran Ghost from StarCraft, and a Warlock in their amazing tier 6 armor set (she had the helmet as well, though it's not in this shot).
However, enjoy the ones we've got, and we'll be adding more costumes to it as we see them on the show floor today!
Update: Joystiqer Kevin Kelly is out on the show floor as well, and it looks like he got a much better view of the stage than we did -- so be sure to check out Joystiq's excellent gallery.

The guy is holding the helmet in front of him in your photo. Just look what he's holding.

The tier 6 warlock is nice, but I think my favorite in the gallery goes to the tier 5 lock. That costume looks really awesome.

Personally I loved the guy as Chuck Norris. I presume the woman next to him was intended to be mankrik's wife and thus together they comprise barrens chat?

His 'costime' was supposed to be Chuck Norris? Lame.

The moonkin was a girl by the way, and she was dying the entire time in the back. I felt so bad for her. :/ (I was the priest who walked out right before her so I chatted it up for a lil bit). I'm glad she won. ^-^ A lot of work was put into it.

The cosplayer on the left is an assassin from Diablo II, not a human rogue. She's also in the wow_ladies lj community.

Thanks for the positive comments -- the murloc costume was the first costume we've ever made, so it is nice to read that other people appreciated it!
