Beware of trading scammers!

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.

Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "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; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

Here're more pics, including some with a Medic.

EDIT: grammar

[–]StupidFatHobbit 23 points24 points ago

That shadow is perfect

[–]fail_girl 13 points14 points ago

I love how from far away, I can totally mistake them for real screenshots or artwork!

..it might help that I've got pretty terrible vision, but still!

[–]y_scro_serious 32 points33 points ago

These are great, and the best part is that they look fairly simple / inexpensive to make.

[–]Sknyjdwb 59 points60 points ago

That chin is expensive.

[–]SquidManHero 13 points14 points ago

Bruce Campbell's chin can kill.

[–]Itsatrapski 12 points13 points ago

So can The Crimson Chin.

[–]scswift 10 points11 points ago

That's only because you've never made a costume like that. I'm pretty sure both costumes were made by the same person, and I'd estimate it took around two weeks for them to make them. It looks like the coats could be hand made. The medic's boots could be handmade as well. The weapons would also have taken a lot of time with saw, router and sander to make. Overall cost, I'd estimate in the $500 range. Boots alone could have run over $100 a pair.

[–]y_scro_serious 3 points4 points ago

Those seem like some pretty damn fine estimates.

[–]scswift 5 points6 points ago

I know what it would cost and how much time it would take because I've made a TF2 costume myself:

http://imgur.com/a/oOH5V

(I did not make the suit of course. I don't do much sewing. But I do knot that fabric's about $10 a yard and you'd need a couple yards to make a coat. And that red coat looks hand dyed, which would add additional cost.)

[–]ed1380 -1 points0 points ago

Gadgets look nice. Person is a bit too big for spy. More fit for heavy, depending on how russian he can sound.

[–]scswift 1 point2 points ago

Heh, yes I am not really thin enough to be a great spy. But I'm also not large or muscular enough to be the Heavy. I was more interested in building all the cool spy gadgets than looking the part. If I wanted to look the part, the Engineer would be the best fit for me. I may still do an engineer costume at some point, but if I do that I'd have to build a remote control mini sentry and a robot hand to go along with it. :)

[–]WhatTheFlux1 0 points1 point ago

What about Demoman?

By the way I thought the costume/gagets looked great regardless of you not being popsicle-stick thin.

[–]ed1380 0 points1 point ago

That would be badass. Please post if when you do it

[–]SolidCake 0 points1 point ago

I would gladly pay $500 to make a cosplay that good.. but I am way too lazy to make it.

[–]scswift 0 points1 point ago

Unfortunately, if you're too lazy to do it yourself, it'll cost you a lot more. If it took two weeks to build you could expect to pay at least $1000 on top of the cost of the materials.

[–]Vark675 5 points6 points ago

I was always a little disappointed they never had any pictures of them constructing the various bits and pieces.

[–]More_better 1 point2 points ago

"Here's are more pics, including some with a Medic."

[–]kirbyfan8 1 point2 points ago

Argh, It's a great costume but it just bothers me so much that the soldier and the medic are the same height.

[–]gonejah 0 points1 point ago

i like how the soldier has a grenade belt, but you only get grenades in TFC and it costs 5.99$

      However many times it takes for everyone to see it and to stop upvoting it? I don't think you realize that there's more than 50,000,000 people on Reddit and each post on the front page only gets about 5,000,000 views.

      [–]BigTuna_103 10 points11 points ago

      Complaining about a repost is just as annoying as a repost itself. Why is it so hard for people to understand that not everyone in the world has seen it?

      [–]6timesdonkeypunched 10 points11 points ago

      I didn't see it. I'm glad they reposted it. There's a down vote button you can use.

      [–]shmed 3 points4 points ago

      Yeah I think everyone should contact you personally before posting to make sure they are not posting something you already saw.

      [–]Ojahh 1 point2 points ago

      I thought "my goodness agaaaaain" opened comments, reddit delivered.

      [–]martinx3x 3 points4 points ago

      You know you can just downvote it right? Just because you've seen it doesn't mean EVERYONE else hasn't.

        Clothing that barely covers anything. So it looks like it's made of dental floss.

        [–]cheesefalcon 0 points1 point ago

        aww shit. I think it's from a superhero parody movie with Peter Parker watching his crush across the street change, and she keeps changing her underwear, and each time the underwear gets smaller and smaller, until she grabs some floss and ties it into the shape of underwear and puts it on.

          when you have to photoshop the hell out of it, it's not a good cosplay. down arrowed.

          [–]AgentDaedalus 0 points1 point ago

          Ah, its easy to cosplay tf2 characters when you're white.

          [–]pozzum -1 points0 points ago

          If cosplay is sure to result in awesome then you must cosplay!

          [–]minzeb45 -4 points-3 points ago

          nah, too good, I'm pretty sure OP just turned the graphic settings up really high.

          edit: I'm being sarcastic. I like the costume.

          [–]HornyGoatPiss -2 points-1 points ago

          Hey look more cosplay

          [–]bamforeo 0 points1 point ago

          Oh wow, that's really awesome. I thought it was a screenshot for a second.

          [–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

          Is there a way to filter out cosplay posts from /r/gaming? because honestly i don't care if people dress up in costumes sometimes.

          [–]MyJimmies 1 point2 points ago

          Cosplay getting in the way of your zelda circlejerk? I mean, we wouldn't want that in "A subreddit for anything related to games"

          [–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

          I mean there's not really a subreddit for cosplay or anything?

          But in all seriousness, i asked if there was a way to ignore the posts in lieu of just leaving /r/gaming all together. Not for posts like this to be banned.

          [–]deanyo -1 points0 points ago

          the repost of all reposts

          [–]Alarconadame -2 points-1 points ago

          Needs more instagram...

          [–]RatherDashing 1 point2 points ago

          I don't know why you are getting downvoted. I hate that every shot now-a-days is instagramed. Just post the damn picture.

          [–]Alarconadame 0 points1 point ago

          that's why I said so... I guess the comment needs cursives to make it more sarcastic.

          Old picture is old, and but still awesome

          [–]marcuswarhole -2 points-1 points ago

          If they could turn Hunger Games (ultimately a kinder-battle royale) into a movie, they can do it with Team Fortress. The premise: who cares.

          [–]Ephaliate -1 points0 points ago

          Is it just me or does this picture make it to the front page every other week?

          [–]whackensack 0 points1 point ago

          is this Seth Green?

          [–]invisiblehackysack 0 points1 point ago

          No idea why you were downvoted. That was my first thought too. I found your comment with ctrl + f and searching for "Seth."

          [–]Collins42 -4 points-3 points ago

          Reposts! (Read in the "Maggots!" voice)
