Ben Heck, modder extraordinaire , went and created a Portal t-shirt. I assume for Halloween, but possibly just for fun. It’s almost identical to this guy’s “hole through the chest” shirt, except that one doesn’t have a Portal theme, making it forgettable at best. What was I just talking about? Exactly. Hit the jump for an entirely-too-long 17-minute video of the shirt from conceptualization to building to finished product.
In the spirit of Halloween I’ll forgive the father responsible for dressing his young, impressionable child up like Robocop and taking pictures of him patrolling around Detroit. But just for the weekend. Come Monday this sort of thing isn’t cool anymore. And speaking of not cool anymore — I’m pretty sure the air conditioner in my bedroom broke back in June. I still turn it on though because I like the rattling sound it makes. Helps me sleep at night. Also, drinking a lot right before bed. Sorry if I’m not making any sense right now I drank a fat man’s weight in booze last night and I’m hair of the dogging it this morning to make my head stop pounding. I might have already had too much. Just kidding, there’s no such thing. You know how much Halloween candy I’m gonna eat this weekend? All of it. Hit the jump for several more, and a link to even more of the candy magnet in action.

Want a movie-worn Darth Vader costume? Start digging through the couch cushions for spare change! Then rob a bank . Then rob a jewelry store. Then rob another bank. An exceptionally rare Darth Vader costume comes up for sale next month and is expected to fetch as much as 230,000 pounds ($365,000), auctioneer Christie’s said on Wednesday. The main components of the 1980 costume, including the helmet and mask, are considered to have been production-made for “The Empire Strikes Back,” the second of the “Star Wars” series to be released, Christie’s added. “While there are limited public records of the costumes produced and used for the first Star Wars trilogy, the helmet, mask and shoulder armor from the present example have a provenance leading back to the film studios around the time of production,” Christie’s said. Pfft, they can’t even prove it’s authentic! You don’t see me trying to sell the t-shirt off my back as a movie-worn ‘Back To The Future II’ costume do you? *posting shirt on eBay* Haha, well you didn’t actually see me do it. Oh, and for the record: I’m not just nay-saying to keep the auction’s price down so I can swoop in and buy it, because I’m not. Shit, I don’t even have two nickels to rub together! Which is a shame because I am lost in the woods and I’m pretty sure that’s how you start a fire. Rare Darth Vader costume up for auction [yahoo] Thanks to Fally and Christine, who agree his gloves look suspiciously like oven mitts.

Okay so you remember the AT-AT costume Geekologie Reader Robert made his dog last Halloween? And you remember Patrick Boivi’s recent animated short, ‘ AT-AT Day Afternoon ‘? Well Robert recreated the film using his costumed mini-pincher (complete with ventral-mounted laser blaster) and let me tell you: it’s f***ing cute. Reminds me of the time I dressed Chloe as the Death Star until my roommate “that’s no moon”ed her so many times it gave her a complex. Hit it for the cuteness.

I’m pretty sure half the people that sent this in thought it’s an actual robot , but being the astute robot slaya that I am, it wasn’t hard for me to tell this is just a jackass in a robot costume. Don’t get me wrong, I’d still burn that bitch like a witch (or doobie), he just doesn’t pose the threat an actual robot would. Or DOES he? *pew pew!* He doesn’t. Youtube and Youtube (longer, 9:00 video) Thanks to Rich the destroyer, paul, KennethJ, Ted, Mungo9000, chris, Albert, Tuggis, karrameg, Steven, hatcher, Big Bug, parking block and Wendy, who actually knew it was a person the whole time and just wanted to scare me.

Apparently these costumes have been around for a while now but I didn’t know because I don’t have any business shopping for Darth Vader baby get-ups (I just sign the child support checks). But Geekologie Reader Tengku Edzuan decided to take a different approach to child rearing and bought this costume for his son. That’s him there. Cute, huh? BUT DON’T EVEN THINK FOR A SECOND HE’S NOT ALL DARK SITH LORD , because he 100% is. I heard one time he caught a stuffed animal eying his binky and Force choke-slammed that sucker into a pile of alphabet blocks. Brutal! Barf Vader [edzuantengku] and Product Site
It’s Friday, and, since I love you all, how about some sexy Star Trek and Star Wars themed corsets made by Etsy seller Evening Arwen? The Star Trek corsets go for $200 a pop and the Star Wars models (which include the rest of the costumes, but not the actual women), are $500 (trooper) and $600 (Vader). Hit the jump to see them and get all woop woop and ooh la la in your pants and blah blah is anybody still reading this? No? Okay good. Hit the jump already, geez.
If so, you’re in luck because the $70 Jabba the Hutt Supreme Edition costume is just that. Jesus, I’d hate to see what the non-supreme edition looks like. Become one of the richest gangsters of a Galaxy Far, Far Away with the Jabba the Hutt Supreme Edition Costume! This full-body costume will transform you into the famous Hutt with a body piece (complete with tail), headpiece, and a battery-operated fan to keep you cool. Ha, I’ve got news for you: no amount of fans is gonna keep you cool if you buy this costume. Unless you somehow finagle some Princess Leia cosplay action out of the deal, in which case, I’m in. Now, GW the Hutt needs some bikini-clad slaves. Ladies? Product Site via Jabba the fursuit [boingboing] Thanks to Mark, who once bounty hunted the last dinosaur and broke my heart in the process.

Need A Terrible Jabba The Hutt Costume?
In a story that nearly set my cockles ablaze, an English couple recently got married dressed as Shrek and Princess Fiona. Awwwwwww. Hospice nurse Christine England, 40, married her fiance Keith, 44, in full costume and make-up in front of 100 guests who were also in fancy dress. The new Mr and Mrs Green (yes, really), of Barnstaple, Devon, had spent three hours having their make-up done before walking down the aisle. Christine said: ‘The idea just came to me. I knew what we would go as because Keith looks just like Shrek . Wow, way to kick a man in the balls, Christine. You might as well have gone as Andy Carmichael and asked him to go as Sloth. Goonies FTW! Do you, sir, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? “HEY YOOOU GUUUUUYS!” Hit the jump for several more of the beautiful couple, the last of which is totally fapable.
