Far too many people will be dressing up as the same boring thing this Halloween. Ghosts, vampires, less supernatural beings like pirates and ninjas. (And for the ladies, hooker-ized versions of all of the above.) Booooring. Seeing as this is HardestLevel, I imagine some of y'all are thinking about stepping into the shoes of your favorite video game characters...you know, provided they actually wear shoes. I guess if you're going as Blanka from the Street Fighter series (which would be the awesomest thing ever), you'd want to just wear flip-flops or something so you don't get your feet all dirty.
Anyhoo, accordingly, we at HL would make two requests from you, loyal readers.
1) Answer this question:
Are you dressing up for Halloween, and if so, dressing as a video game character? 2) If you take (tasteful) photos of your costumed exploits, post a link on either our
Facebook or
Twitter pages, and we'll consider posting some good ones on the main page here.
Halloween: it's like cosplay, only with more candy.

1) Yes, I'm dressing up, but no, not as a video game character. I had the bright idea to be Waldo this year, but, for some reason Where's Waldo is, all of a sudden, extremely popular this year, and therefore sold out or too expensive. So as a last minute idea I've decided to be a Juggalette, or if anyone actually really doesn't know what that means, I'm basically going to be a killer clown, with my face painted, and a bloody hatchet and bloody white t-shirt. And some jeans, but no blood for those. Don't really feel like ruining them. I'm not a lette, I don't even much care for the lifestyle, but I've always been curious about what I'd look like with some sweet face paint. Haha. I am thinking of being some awesome video game character next year or some other year, though, and really getting myself to work on the costume very early so that I can follow through with what I wanna be. I'm just not sure what character yet.
I'm actually going to a video game themed costume party, so I didn't have much choice but to find a character I could be.
Enter the new, much flabbier and less impressive looking Jaffar from Fire Emblem.
Not going as a game character, unless there is an NCIS video game. Going as Abby.
well Carmen Sandiego does after all have a video game so I guess yes I am dressing up as a video game character.
I have a few pics of my Dan cosplay from NYAF if anyone ants. I might do it again tomorrow.
I saw Mega Man on campus today...made my day.
My boyfriend and I are going as Wild West train robbers. While we aren't trying to be video game characters, I'm sure there have been several Western robbers in various video games.
Mario FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't cosplay on Halloween. But the next con I go to, I'll be going as Toon Link.

I've heard some people dressed up as mario, luigi, and DK and raced around campus, throwing shells at each other. God, my school is great.
As for me, I narrowed my possible choices down to either a battle royale participant or a zombie attack survivor.
i saw some chick dress up a luigi today with that mushroom dude..she had on booty shorts and everything..i never knew dressing up as a mario bros was so sexy hah!
I was Mario last year, and my friend was Luigi.:)
Fake mustaches are itchyy.
Well I didn't dress as a video game character but I did dress as a comic book character....Harley Quinn!
Birthday suit :)
@meta_k@xanga - hah. that's what i was going to say :]
Not I. Too much of a pain in the ass, and I'm honestly "too old"... mentally.
I dressed as a zebra. It was pretty easy, I just got a zebra print shirt, pants and ears, and one of my friends painted my face. :3
My nephews were Mario and Luigi. Kids were saying look the mario cart people. WHAT?

I was a gladiator/ julius ceasar. OMGG and my bff Jasmine accidently knocked a stand down in orchestra and it just barely missed me. And i was werein my costume to. Julius was killed by his bff.........
a pirate
I was Harley Quinn :D
I dressed up as a "business man" or "salesperson" or something of the sort. I was a guy in a suit? I borrowed my brother's old suit and just wore it. I felt really proper. ^^
I dressed up as a vampire, and I spent ages doing my makeup. It was fun, though and my costume was pretty basic (tights, a dress, a black top under that) and put blood over my clothes.
i was misty from pokemon, since my hair is orange and i have a yellow shirt, shorts, and red suspenders. i think i made a kick-ass misty.
I was Ash Ketchum. :)
