I never thought I'd get a Stormtrooper costume since I am probably too tall for one, but then I played the video game "Jedi Outcast" where there were indeed very much taller Stormtroopers than the original sized ones, then I learned about the FX armor and there you go, I'm now a Stormtrooper.
It was just a question of time before some other video game came along and affected me into wanting a costume. At first I thought Gordon Freeman's hair was red, so did many other people, but when the second game came out and his hair didn't look red at all and was instead brown. I looked back at the photo of him from the first game and noticed that his hair wasn't red there either. The hair color red can sometimes look more orange than red and is way lighter than his hair color from both games. This is also the thing with Padmé's night gown that looks purple until you get to know it's not purple at all, but metallic blue or something, so you get the idea..
So of course I had to try if this costume would be something for me. Many guys out there who have their beard trimmed the same way while wearing glasses think for some reason that they look like him. That's like saying you look like Brad Pitt because you both have a face. But could my boring face work with a pair of glasses and a beard? Or should I just give up this costume idea and go hide far inside a cave in the forest? I also have many of the same weapons in soft-air guns that look pretty much real (glock 17, SPAS 12, MP5) that I could use for this costume.
Ironically enough he had long hair in the first game that was tied up in the back, so since I want to make the HEV suit from the first game, this will be perfect for me since I need my hair long for three other costumes or so. I didn't tie it back in the photo though.
So now I'm just wondering about your opinions if I should do this costume or not.
EDIT - The original first post only showed the photo above with no reference as to who I was supposed to be to see if people would identify me as Gordon Freeman. The person who'd guess right would win a cookie...
