A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Oh to be wearing that and have a Jehovah's Witness come to the door.....

[–]babaganushh 487 points488 points ago

In demonic tone, "Sure, I would like to know more about God. Do you happen to know his weaknesses?"

[–]stevebakh 113 points114 points ago

I think it would be funnier if the tone was one of genuine curiosity and intrigue, with a touch of queen's english to top it off.

[–]cyberwired 28 points29 points ago

posh scot accent seems fitting somehow...

[–]englad 1 point2 points ago

There's a posh scot accent?

[–]SteveJEO 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, It's hysterical.

Don't tell them that though, after all they are scots and tend to get a bit stabby when offended.

[–]englad 1 point2 points ago

and a bit punchy :{

Just open the 5 seals outside and I'll come to the door.

Oh, and these are the paramedics. Because I just had a heart attack while getting something out the fridge.

[–]turistainc 147 points148 points ago

That ain't cosplay! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

[–]wolfvision 21 points22 points ago

can I hold your hand as we run?

[–]NightsuN 19 points20 points ago

no hold mine

[–]wolfvision 18 points19 points ago

I'll be in the middle then we can all hold hands?

[–]KuroiDegu 11 points12 points ago

I'm riding piggyback!

[–]feureau 5 points6 points ago

ZOMG! I want to hold hands too!

Somebody! ARM ME!!!

[–]exnor 10 points11 points ago

Quickly retrieve arms from safe.

[–]jeepbraah 1 point2 points ago

But if you keep your arms in a safe how will you defend yourself?

[–]nerdyogre254 127 points128 points ago

How in the absolute fuck....

Did he get that out of his kitchen?

[–]EllipsisObsessive 80 points81 points ago

Yeah, he probably looks a lot less scary crawling on his hands and knees to get through doorways ...

[–]TrustyGuy 80 points81 points ago

Unless he is crawling down your hallway late at night. That would scare me.

[–]FuglyShmugly 34 points35 points ago

I would be scared of him even if he wasn't wearing anything in my hallway late at night.

[–]FREEBASE_DIARRHEA 31 points32 points ago

I'd be extra scared if he wasn't wearing anything.

[–]kingsleigh 3 points4 points ago

Depends on the size.

Isn't... that... how Diablo runs?

[–]phalmatticus 43 points44 points ago

Human-sized doorways - the demon's natural enemy

[–]ForgettableUsername 284 points285 points ago

Some day, decades from now, this guy is going to retire... he'll probably be a bit too old and maybe a bit too plump to wear this anymore, and time moving on, as it does, few will understand its significance, so he'll pack it away in the attic.

Some time, hopefully many, many years later, he'll pass on, having lived a full life, leaving his estate, his fortune, and his belongings to his many children, nieces, and nephews. They'll politely divvy up the land, the money, Grandmother's antique silverware, etc. A few curious old boxes no one can identify will get sent to an eccentric nephew who lives in the country.... he'll store them away without opening them, forgetting the whole matter because, at the moment, he's more interested in studying newts or something.

One day, many further years on, the nephew's granddaughter, now an aged pensioner and philanthropist herself, will take it on herself to go through a few of the old family things, to see if anything might be donated to the local shelters. With a frail, wrinkled hand, she'll brush the dust off a few ancient-looking boxes she's never seen before, part of the family trust from way back. She'll carefully trim away the brittle and flaking packing tape with a pocket laser-trimmer... and, as she opens the worn and faded box, a ray of light from the setting sun will struggle through the suspended dust-motes to cast itself upon the contents. In that instant, she will look on the face of an ancient evil, too terrible to describe. The shock triggers a massive coronary heart attack and, after a few terrible moments, her noble and generous heart will seize and then cease to beat forever.

You killed her. Not just the cosplayer, but all of you. You should be ashamed. I hope you're proud of yourselves.

[–]WKahle11 27 points28 points ago

I can't read anymore of comments after reading this one. None will be as good.

[–]HX_Flash 16 points17 points ago

It's not even a novelty account. Brilliant!

[–]ForgettableUsername 6 points7 points ago

It was supposed to be, but I keep getting distracted.

[–]Dodge5278 1 point2 points ago

I wished you would've said she realized her nephew's granddaughter would see it, realize who her great uncle was, and take up the costume and storm to the streets as a superhero. But instead she just died.

[–]ForgettableUsername 1 point2 points ago

Not everything can be a Marvel comic book.

[–]DangerousDetlef 36 points37 points ago

Woah... just imagine. You come home late at night, you're glad you're home. Then you turn on the light and this is standing in your living room. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE.

[–]shoegazer666 12 points13 points ago

Pfft, just equip your bastard sword.

[–]beef_swellington 17 points18 points ago

Diablo has delightful floral print drapes!

[–]Rayofpain 9 points10 points ago

jesus christ

this isnt even cosplay anymore, this is just straight up transformation into diablo

absolutely horrifying

[–]MikeDitz 8 points9 points ago

I've never played Diablo, but this is very frightening.

[–]pyrosheep 10 points11 points ago

I don't mean to be a dick here, but I have seen this posted so many times before, but I upvote anyway. It is a pretty good cosplay, isn't it?

[–]cchg89 4 points5 points ago

same, I think I saw this like 3 years ago.

[–]Is_It_Bangable 50 points51 points ago

3/10: The difficulty of the banging in question brings the overall bangability down. Would not bang.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

Are you sure it doesn't bring it up? Nothin' like a challenge.

[–]Mephala 3 points4 points ago

Would let bang. @_@

[–]D3_release_countdown 247 points248 points ago

Boy, this one doesn't have long to live.

Don't worry, his count will just go negative after the release date.

[–]wolfvision 2 points3 points ago

We should plan the funeral now I spose. Get all the hard work out of the way, so when the day comes, we can put him to rest.

[–]Jyvblamo 1 point2 points ago

He'll be back for the expansion pack.

[–]LeCrackling 120 points121 points ago

This bot is so useless. Upvote.

[–]KaziArmada 32 points33 points ago

Least he's in a relevant topic....

Buy now and get a free dildo shaped like Diablo's dick!

Talks on penetration, "Not even death can save you from me!"

[–]DrXenu 5 points6 points ago

actually if you get the collectors edition you get a usb drive that looks like the soul stone and a diablo skull usb drive bay..... Kind of like a dildo.

[–]jdk 1 point2 points ago

And catholic book stores!

[–]McShizzL 4 points5 points ago

Walmart?

[–]noisyturtle[S] 37 points38 points ago

Probably took 12 years to make....

[–]rekat 43 points44 points ago

are you sure that's not just a demon standing in your living room?

[–]Trojandoors 47 points48 points ago

[–]loserlame 7 points8 points ago

I looked like a lonely guy trying on high heels.

[–]thislittlemonkey 2 points3 points ago

You...you did?

[–]BeowulfsBro 1 point2 points ago

I was almost sure that this was photoshopped until I watched this. Thank you.

[–]inanevoyage 1 point2 points ago

Looks like he sold it for a mere $550. Wowza.

[–]Drakmeire 5 points6 points ago

Dude, I don't think that's a cosplay. You should run.

[–]SpiceBread 2 points3 points ago

To bad there won't be a Blizzcon costume contest for him to win this year..

[–]aphize 2 points3 points ago

[–]manwithfriends 1 point2 points ago

Watch your horns!

[–]Myflyisbreezy 1 point2 points ago

How will he get out of the house?

[–]agentsirus 1 point2 points ago

That bastard! He's come to fill the Horadric Cube with Hostess Apple Pies and Hawaiian Punch!

[–]lanceicarus 1 point2 points ago

Please tell me there's more pictures of him doing normal things like eating dinner or waiting for a bus!

[–]SicilianEggplant 1 point2 points ago

"C'mon, mom! I don't have time for a picture! I'm gonna be late for the party! Gosh!"

But yeah that is pretty gnarly.

[–]staplerphone 1 point2 points ago

But how will he get up the door?

[–]The_Dane 1 point2 points ago

That lamp is about to have a bad time

[–]Capps_lock 1 point2 points ago

wassn't this made into a meme already?

[–]Aleksander73 1 point2 points ago

9/10. Would bang.

[–]jfromaus 1 point2 points ago

Surely it gets to a certain point where you think "...What the fuck am I doing with my life?"

[–]spacesoutmidsentence 1 point2 points ago

Is that a boy or a girl?

[–]shartmobile 1 point2 points ago

Those shoes can't be comfortable.

[–]cacamilsean 1 point2 points ago

i preferred it 4 months ago

[–]Hamju 1 point2 points ago

Hurry up and take the picture I have to take a piss so bad

[–]ExSubmariner 1 point2 points ago

Good luck getting out the front door.

[–]Vanilla62 1 point2 points ago

Imagine having to play beer pong in that thing at a party!

[–]ThaiSweetChilli 1 point2 points ago

"I HAVE COME FOR Y-"

-horns clang against the chandelier-

"Shit."

[–]grayfox6644 1 point2 points ago

how do you get out the house with that cosplay!!!

[–]fozzyfreakingbear 1 point2 points ago

As someone who's never played Diablo, I'm never killing another bug...

[–]t__mhjr 1 point2 points ago

This dude is going to get so much pussy at the DIII release.

[–]myhonestyaccount 1 point2 points ago*

Most amazing cosplay ever

Still not as much karma as a half-assed cosplay with boobs

[–]Tridian 1 point2 points ago

Enters BlizzCon 2012 costume contest. Wins all prizes because judges are too scared to give them to anyone else.

[–]carbonetc 1 point2 points ago

I really want to see photos of him doing mundane household activities in that costume. Washing the dishes, taking out the trash, clipping coupons...

[–]dbandy2 1 point2 points ago

"how the fuck do i get out of this room"

[–]TheCatInThePicture 1 point2 points ago

This is a pretty detailed doll house. Pretty cool action figure though.

[–]jehe 1 point2 points ago

Odd Boner...

[–]Zyville 1 point2 points ago

Good luck getting out of the house with that beast on.

[–]unlimitednights 2 points3 points ago

[–]shibbyadam 1 point2 points ago

Interior Decorator Diablo is now a meme.

[–]Aiskhulos 0 points1 point ago

How is he getting out of that room? And even if he does, how's he going to fit that costume in a car? I mean maybe it'd fit in the bed of a pickup truck, but even I'm not sure.

[–]Cpt3020 0 points1 point ago

Diablo on slimfast

[–]MissesLee 0 points1 point ago

How did he leave the house? Or fit in a car for that matter....

[–]Frizk 0 points1 point ago

Thanks, I won't be sleeping at all,EVER!

[–]YouKnowMeAs 0 points1 point ago

It's intriguing to not see this post bombarded with " LOLOLO REPOST LOLOL".

[–]Canvasch 0 points1 point ago

This has crossed a line beyond cosplay. This dude is amazing!

[–]buttbutts 0 points1 point ago

It's so good that it scared the shit out of me when I looked at it.

[–]Shoyrukon 0 points1 point ago

Holy SHIT! i wonder how long that took to put on

[–]Pandaaaa 0 points1 point ago

How does he leave the room...

[–]DukCake 0 points1 point ago

"Is dinner ready yet?"

[–]PerryNoydicus 0 points1 point ago

Perhaps it was nighttimes and this was the best lighting they had?

[–]Raising 0 points1 point ago

ARISE DIABLO !

LORD OF TERROR !

[–]turtlenecking 0 points1 point ago

I'm all for video game fandom, but wow.

[–]cjtheinvader 0 points1 point ago*

3 minutes later, passed out from exhaustion...

But no seriously, what is that even made out of? There is no way you can wear that for a long time.

It probably took alot of force-of-will to even manage to have the energy to get it on and get a picture taken. Thats why we don't see more cosplay like that.

Edit: Saw the video, that is either made out of something ridiculously light "And thus breaks very easily" or its an actual demon.

[–]King_Yeshua 0 points1 point ago

Watch out for low lying power lines

[–]All_Fallible 0 points1 point ago

If I saw that thing in my house I would immediately go for the rifle

[–]frickinsweetdude 0 points1 point ago

I think I have shit in my pants.

[–]Arktri 0 points1 point ago

How, answer me this, is he supposed to leave the house?

[–]jagged01 0 points1 point ago

How do you exit the room?

[–]LovesToRainOnParades 0 points1 point ago

This is so amazing that I bookmarked it!

[–]vvim 0 points1 point ago

[–]DoctorOddfellow 0 points1 point ago

Quick, cut the chandelier!

[–]pipboy793 0 points1 point ago

How is he going to leave his house?

[–]Ceigee 0 points1 point ago

Forever alone.

[–]Helenius 0 points1 point ago

Jokes on you, no blizzcon this year

[–]Strawcrazyman 0 points1 point ago

Great costume in a weird place. I think at a certain point you just have to make a set around the costume and put on a play.

[–]sirius89 0 points1 point ago

Diablo sure got skinny. ;D

[–]dotPanic 0 points1 point ago

What is that one.. wing? Thing? Also, lol tiny eyes.

[–]Residual_Entropy 0 points1 point ago

That. Is fucking scary.

[–]hypastrophe 0 points1 point ago

oh fuck. i just had an instant knee jerk reaction to smash A repeatedly.

[–]kevpew 0 points1 point ago

I think he will have to do all that cosplaying in that rooom....

[–]TokenScottishGuy 0 points1 point ago

NOPE

[–]Kochen 0 points1 point ago

Trick or treat!

[–]thehotmageaeris 0 points1 point ago

I love how he stands so nonchalant in his mother's living room.

[–]KiloNiggaWatt 0 points1 point ago

That has to be the most impractical costume ever created.

[–]p3ngwin 0 points1 point ago

anyone else getting a subtle "Nvidia vibe" with the shadows in the top left ?

[–]HardyBrother 0 points1 point ago

Now how is he going to get out of that room =D

[–]hmistry 0 points1 point ago

Holy freaking Cosplay Genuis !

[–]xcadrill 0 points1 point ago

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to get a snack, turning on the light and you see this thing standing there.

I think I'd have a cardiac arrest.

[–]hmistry 0 points1 point ago

I like hearing the ass hats commenting about how leaving the room is going to be difficult. I'm pretty sure you can take it off, walk out the door, and put it on again...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

NOT EVEN DEATH CAN SAVE YOU FROM ME

[–]hbcoke 0 points1 point ago

I love it's in the living room.

[–]BigBrotherBacon 0 points1 point ago

According to YouTube comments he sold it for $550.

I would have bought the thing for $550 and I don't even like this damn game.

Of course, I'd also have to buy a bullet proof vest to wear it around my city which is the capital of Jesusland.

[–]vinniedamac 1 point2 points ago

[–]Fiendle 0 points1 point ago

And to think the entire thing is made of aluminum foil, posterboard, and craft foam.

Progress proof. Killing the magic, one photo at a time... Still, very impressive and creative work. :D

[–]0sr0 0 points1 point ago

The house reminds me of paranormal activity. That and the demon, of course.

[–]shaolinoli 0 points1 point ago

He is going to ruin his ceiling as soon as he tries to leave the room. Amazing job though

[–]StrictlyVidya 0 points1 point ago

There's a video of him too.

[–]loveandstuff 0 points1 point ago

This would scare the piss out of me

[–]In_Beds 0 points1 point ago

This is a picture of the devil

[–]zmeace 0 points1 point ago

thats not cosplay, the real Diablo has actually entered that household

[–]Catch22af 0 points1 point ago

Now head to the nearest children't party. I'd love to see the look of terror in their faces.

[–]SIN00X 0 points1 point ago

Imagine waking up to that in your kitchen. Holy shit.

[–]Santorayo 0 points1 point ago

Looks a bit like Cho´gath

[–]oreobear 0 points1 point ago

I feel sorry for the thing that gave birth to that

[–]eloquentnemesis 0 points1 point ago

The lord of terror needs to watch for low hanging lights.

"Great! I got the costume! Ready for the conven....wait how do I get out of the door?"

[–]fawker 0 points1 point ago

Hopefully he knows the portal spell so his parents don't have to pick him up.

[–]Zephyrantes 0 points1 point ago

I've always imagine Diablo having a bigger dick than that...

[–]rumster 0 points1 point ago

gave me the creeps

[–]Airwalk91 0 points1 point ago

really best cosplay ever!

It's new to those who haven't seen it before <----

[–]Crazyants 0 points1 point ago

Not a cosplay, that's actually where diablo lives now.

[–]Pr1mer 0 points1 point ago

It's like a creature that evolved from lava. (I kno wat it is)

Must. Not. Troll. Local. Church. Picnic.

The Demon Hunter chick from last Blizzcon blows this away completely. This may be bigger, but she had more DETAIL.

[–]IWantToBeAHipster 0 points1 point ago

I imagine that getting in and out of rooms must be difficult, also who would downvote this?

[–]Pizzly_bear 0 points1 point ago

My mom has those same chairs!

[–]MegaZeusThor 0 points1 point ago

Sometimes I'll catch the audio cable between my ears and MP3 player on things. I suspect this costume would be worse.

And is demons were real, they'd be less dignified catching parts of their head on their lair.

Still, awesome looking.

[–]brokensys 0 points1 point ago

So sad, it's time to grow up an stop playing dress up now kiddies.

[–]sarpedonx 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit that is amazing

I saw the video of it, it was amazing!

[–]OMGapotato 0 points1 point ago

Just combine that with this
