Kevin is right, that is horrible.

Catherine ended up being part of my three-way split for personal game of the year. Uncharted 3 had the great characters and quality, Arkham City had the "Holy Crap!" factor, but Catherine was just to unique and refreshing that it's impossible for me not to heap tons of praise on it.


And I'm especially glad I decided to pre-order the Catherine figure that comes out this month since it seems that it already sold out on pre-order.

...... And that folks, is why I'm won't cosplay at cons (even though I want to). I'm so out of shape that if I try to dress as my favorite character, I wouldn't look right. I'm a little overweight that if I tried to look a character that was thin.... well, you see my problem... Laughing .

Nothing against any cosplayers out there, everyone I've met looks great. I just need to find something that I'm comfortable in..... Wink

Every guy in a relationship problem can be a sheep

Anyway, thanks a lot for referencing this game, I write a review just last night on my blog for the best game of 2011 (for me)

Forever thankful I did not click any panel for an enlarged viewing. Gee, 1 of these hairy galoots appears more hairy than Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Oh, the torment! Aiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Oh god. At least my friend who didn't have Vincent's stick physic opted to wear his "RAVE" shirt with the underpants (which had 2 underpants underneath that) to make it look much more sensible.

Views last panel... Owwww, my eyes!!! They burn!! They burn!! Wonder if horse blinders will start to be popular at conventions. Smile

Thanks for the chuckles, Robin.

A little off topic...

Looks like it's still available for pre-order on some sites (I didn't even know it was being released). Surprised

This comic shakes me to my core... but how come the guys aren't also wearing bras if they're cosplaying Catherine? Or are they cosplaying the guy?

Some of them seem to need them more than the ladies too...

And here I thought there was nothing lazier than an L cosplayer. I guess boxers are the natural evolution from "baggy shirt and jeans from the closet".

Oh! That also reminds us: that one Saturday at my ol' univ suite, my suitemates and I were all bored out of our minds, so out of the blue, we just decided to take a suite photo of all of us to hang large on the wall for the upcoming official Parents Weekend visits. So we quickly put on our best dress shirts and tie attires and headed on to, I think, Sears for the "family photo," waited an hour for our turn in line, and when we finally got in front of the camera, the photographer asked what we wanted to do, and............... we all took off our pants, just leaving our boxers, posed like heck, took the picture, print! Yeah, the other customers and families in line enjoyed that, and the parents too. Laughing

Don't give people ideas.

L cosplays are lazy, but not as atrocious as Sexy no Jutsu cosplays. Some of them defy local obscenity laws.

Not so lazy with the horns. Or does Hot Topic carry sheep horns now?

Good job! A fitting appendix to the strip.

I love the whole Catch-22 side to knowledge. Just say 'no' to drugs. *Warning* 'no' may mean 'yes'.
