Russian Cosplayers Dress Up for Fallout 3

Those dedicated, slightly crazy Russian cosplayers are at it again, this time turning their obsessive attention to detail to the good old-fashioned post-nuclear fun of Fallout 3 [http://fallout.bethsoft.com].

Maybe there's something in the water - radiation, perhaps, or vodka - or maybe it's the legacy of communism. Whatever's going on over there, it's driving Russian videogamers to dizzying new heights of dedication to their games. First it was Bethesda [http://www.stalker-game.com/].

I'm assuming it's not the same group that brought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to life but the effort and the results are very comparable. The real-life Fallout action focuses on the Brotherhood of Steel, with lots of power armor (not actually powered, sadly, but still some very nice facsimiles), scribes and initiates in light armor. There are also merchants, raiders and at least one ghoul, all running around in an appropriately bleak, blasted-out landscape. There's even a busted-up Lada!

I'm not sure what these people actually do at these things aside from pose for some very cool pictures, but it looks like fun nonetheless. Have a look at the whole thing at englishrussia.com [http://englishrussia.com/?p=3178].

Wow, they really put some effort into making that. If that's made of metal nd not just plastic that looks like metal it must weight a tonne.

 

[historybuff]

Wow, that's really impressive. Awesome.

 

[The Shade]

Must...resist...envy...

Also, could someone explain to me the origins of the term 'cosplayer'? I mean, I sort of get the 'player' part. But the 'cos'?

COStume.

These costumes are awesome, clearly a lot of effort. I could never manage something like that, I'm too lazy.

fanboys they may be but at least there efforts went beyond the fanboys usual duties of shouting at each other on the internet

COStume.

Ah. Thank you. That makes sense.

 

[Anihil8]

They all have a little too much free time. Still cool though.

 

[Kajt]

This is made of win. Although they look more like Stormtroopers than Steel Troopers.

Yeah, so it's kind of meh.

 

[Teh_Doomage]

That is awesome. They really put alot of effort in those costumes.

 

[Sevre]

I wish I had one. Man I would freak the shit out of people walking down the road in that.

 

[Lord Thodin]

I dont think anyone else should ever be aloud to cosplay unless they can do it to this degree ever again

 

[Sixties Spidey]

I've seen better, but 10 for effort.

 

[scotth266]

This was a good cosplay.

I could totally see a Fallout movie being made now, actually. It's a good idea: the concept is very Hollywood, and it doesn't have any identifiable characters to butcher.

Think I am Legend but in the Fallout universe and with more suriviors.
