There are so many cosplays out there that it can be hard to think of something no one else has done. At the New York Comic Con a few weeks ago, someone came up with a completely new an original cosplay costume -the convention center itself. It was spotted by DC comics writer Scott Snyder, who posted it on his Twitter and it quickly became viral.

The reactions from fans on Twitter are pretty brilliant -you can read many of them over on Guacamoley.

Halloweenies like to go big with their decorations, putting their love of the holiday on display for the entire neighborhood to see, and their hard work is either rewarded with cheers or jeers.

But there's one neighborhood in Salt Lake City, Utah that's about to go bananas thanks to the hard work of one Ammon Smith, a 33-year-old woodworker who has become known for his over-the-top Halloween displays.

Ammon used thin strips of wood and chicken wire to build King Kong's form, then he covered the form with black fabric and trash bags for its finished look.

The project took Ammon 80 to 100 hours to complete and cost him a mere $130 but the memories, and the advertising for his home design company Designs On 9th, are priceless.

The annual Quebec City Comic Con brought out thousands of French Canadian geeks this weekend. Some were there to show off their fandoms and amazing cosplay creations. Our friends from Geeks Are Sexy were there each day, too, to document most interesting costumes. Many of them, like the Gundam at the top, obviously took a lot of work and dedication to bring to life. Others, like the guy below, cleverly took advantage of a natural resemblance.

There were plenty of characters from movies, TV, manga, and comic books, plus some Halloween characters, too. You'll find part one of a three-part gallery of pictures here. Part two and part three will be coming soon!

Any sane person who finds a cursed artifact like the Staff of Unspeakable Evil in the trash bin should ask themselves who would have tossed away such a terribly powerful magic item- and why.

But the unfortunate idiot in this skit by Buttered Side Down didn't give the Staff of Unspeakable Evil a second glance when he found it in a dumpster- because he assumed it was a fancy broom handle.

The time loop trope is overused in sci-fi movies and TV shows, and yet when it's done right a time loop story can make quite an emotional impact on viewers who wish they could go back in time and fix the mistakes they made in life.

But Olga Osorio's short film reStart isn't about making things right in the past, thus it bears little resemblance to classic time loop films like Groundhog Day, Primer or Looper because this story is about losing control not regaining it.

Many nerds think dating someone with similar passions will make their relationship healthy by default, as if the mere act of hooking up with a fellow nerd is healthier than dating a non-nerd who might make them feel weird about their passions.

But nerdy relationships can be just as unhealthy as non-nerdy relationships, and if your partner is feeling unhappy, insecure or jealous they'll take it out on you just like any other unhappy partner would.

But as you can see in this comic by JHALL the secret to keeping a relationship healthy is to keep it positive, supportive and above all have fun with your partner, otherwise what's the point?

The adorable little Porgs are about to become the new Star Wars alien creature people either love or love to hate, and since stores are already full of Porg toys, t-shirts and other merch there will probably be more hate than love.

Perhaps we can deflect some hate and soften your opinion of those innocent imaginary Porgs a bit with this version of the Star Wars Theme Song created entirely out of Porg noises by Volpe Music.

Or, if you find you cannot stand either the song or the Porgs then please accept my apology, I'm just a sucker for a cute sci-fi critter.

When you play fantasy RPGs either in a video game or in a tabletop setting, you know just how critical it is to have the right potion on you when you need it. Just because they may not exist in real life though doesn't mean there's no benefit to wearing it around your neck. 

If you want to enjoy a little more magic in your life, then you should check out the Aether Brewery jewelry collection on Etsy. They have healing, mana and renewal potions in both earring and necklace varieties, so no matter what kind of potion you need, they have you covered.

Nowadays video games can have a totally nondescript person with a normal haircut and totally normal clothes as the main character because many modern games focus on the storyline instead of the visual gimmicks.

But back in the gimmick-filled 90s video game mascots were all gunning to be the next Mario or Sonic or Crash Bandicoot, so the crazier the character and their wardrobe the better.

And while some of those mascots succeeded in becoming part of video game history others like Rocky Rodent, Awesome Possum and Croc didn't make a very big impression with gamers so for them it was game over.

(YouTube Link)

But a few beloved 90s game mascots may still star in new games despite not making it big like Mario, such as Conker the Squirrel, Banjo Kazooie and Bubsy the Bobcat, who is coming back after 20 years so his new game The Woolies Strike Back had better not suck!

Very few artists enjoy painting in miniature, and even fewer attempt to add just as much detail to their tiny painting as they would to a full-sized piece.

Which is why painter Chris Seaman is a rare breed of artist indeed, because he has chosen to paint portraits of noble monsters full of lifelike detail on a canvas only a few inches wide.

Chris calls his miniature paintings of noble monsters Cameo Creeps, and they're just the kind of thing you'd find inside a Bride of Frankenstein's locket or on the nightstand next to Mama Cthulhu's bed.

When I played Silent Hill 2 for the first time back in 2001 certain elements of the storyline actually gave me nightmares, which was truly impressive considering I was a twenty-something-year-old horror movie fiend. 

I appreciated being truly creeped out by a video game, but I didn't really appreciate all the revolutionary gameplay elements and environmental work Konami put in to the creation of Silent Hill 2.

After watching this incredibly revealing episode of Off Camera Secrets by Boundary Break I now see the strange creatures and deeply disturbing storylines are only part of the reason Silent Hill rose to the top of the horror game pyramid.

(School Of Rock cast- 2003 and 2013)

Cast reunion photos can look like a bit of a train wreck when the actors who reunite haven't aged well, making fans feel bad for their favorite stars instead of rekindling their passion for the project.

But when the cast is looking good a decade or three later the reunion photos make us want to cheer for those stars all over again.

(The Goonies cast 1985-2015)

It was great to see that most of the cast of The Goonies hadn't gone off the deep end since the film's release thirty years earlier, and seeing the School Of Rock kids all grown up was truly heartwarming.

But to me the most heartwarming cast reunion photo of them all was the Hook 25th Anniversary Reunion, because of Rufio Rufio Rufio Rufiooooooooo!

Whoever says "well, at least they died doing what they loved!" when a performer dies on stage clearly doesn't get why that would suck- because all of your accomplishments in life are overshadowed by the way you died.

'Dimebag' Darrell Abbott was one hell of a guitar player and a heavy metal god thanks to his role in creating Pantera, and in 2004 he was set to become an even bigger star with the debut of his post-Pantera band Damageplan at the Alrosa Villa club in Columbus, Ohio.

But Darrell's career came to an abrupt and tragic end when ex-Marine Nathan Gale walked up to the stage and shot 'Dimebag' dead, all because Nathan was upset about Pantera breaking up.

Now people know 'Dimebag' Darrell's name because of this tragic event rather than because of his incredible guitar playing, which is a real shame because 'Dimebag' truly deserved his guitar god title.

Puerto Rico still needs aid to repair the damage done by Hurricane Maria and restore some normalcy to the lives of the people devastated by the storm, so many celebrities are helping to raise money for the people of Puerto Rico.

But I guarantee no charity fundraiser will be as entertaining or endearing as the #PuberMe hashtag challenge started by Stephen Colbert and Nick Kroll:

So, how does #PuberMe work? It’s simple—a fact that's allowed it to easily go viral. For each celebrity who shares (on social media) a picture with that hashtag as well as #PuertoRicoRelief, Colbert will donate $1,000 from his AmeriCone Dream Ice Cream Fund and Kroll will match it, too. All money raised will go to One America Appeal, a charity started by all five living former U.S. presidents that helps with hurricane relief.

So far a bunch of funny folks have shown the world what they looked like at their most awkward, and I'm sure the submissions will continue to dazzle us with their dorkiness.

But the award for "most changed since childhood" definitely goes to Ryan Seacrest, who is unrecognizable in this photo from his "awkward phase":

Going outside can be a real bum trip, as the bugs start to bite and the neighbors start to stare before you suddenly realize you're standing outside in your underwear, so cool kids like singer/songwriter Bill Wurtz stay indoors.

We all have our own reasons for wanting to stay inside, but Bill Wurtz's reasons are some of the "Wurtz" I've ever heard! You see what I did there? Yeah, I know...here's a taste of what to expect when Bill goes "outside":

A spaceship came to take me away. Into the moonlight. And they touched me in an interesting way and now I’m pregnant with aliens….Oh it’s a brand new day.
