About The CosBlog
Fanboys and fangirls are a special breed in the gaming world. Armed with zealous enthusiasm they single-handedly have the ability to make or break games, breathe life back into flailing franchises, and (if they use their powers for evil) start flame wars across the Internet. Undying devotion to a character, game or developer has spawned fansites, wikis, epic works of art, and the desire to participate in the ultimate fan tribute – cosplay. This weekly blog highlights some of the best gaming related costumes found around the net. These fans put their blood, sweat and tears into their work, and it shows.
