I Love Fandom

Last week my game post was a little bit ranty and I don’t want this column to be me getting on my soap box and going on about what is wrong with games companies and then doing nothing to change it. It seems far too glum for my liking.

One of my favourite things about being a gamer is the world that lives around games, and how fans express themselves through creation of objects or dressing up like the characters they have spent hours falling in love with.

My dear friend Mr. Earnshaw has spent a large portion of his adult life creating Nintendo characters out of what ever his hands can get a hold of and I thought I would show them off here to raise a smile on faces across the globe. I hope you enjoy.

And because I love my friends so much I also thought I would post a few images of them trying their best to look like the characters they admire.

And then finally an image found on wondrful facebook that made me grin.

Howdy folks, the names David, its lovely to meet you. I hope the weather is shinny where ever you are. There are a number of things I love to do with my day, writing here is one, writing for 69 magazine is another as well as delving my nose into a good book, listening to woman sing along to electro beats and playing computer games of all shapes and sizes.

    Extra nerdy fact: My second still fits fine, but the Tim's costume has since changed, and I refuse to commit the ultimate nerd sin of being 'inaccurate'.
  • Good for you Andy! I hope that once the costume is planned and prepated we shall be treated to the first pictures.
    If I could still get in the short shorts I'd be Saria again. Sometimes the wig comes out on special occasions.

    I love fandom. I've made two Robin costumes (Tim Drake, not Dick Grayson or Jason Todd) since I was 13, and I'm planning another.

    Fandom terrifies me. Really, really, really terrifies me. Yeah, the creativity is great and all, but it's the terrifying obsessive-ness of some people that completely scares the shit out of me. And the porn. o_O
