[tibortresla]

GIRUGAMESH

[sevillana9]

[LukasK3000]

[mooniscol]

[henritje19]

[NarutoFireFox84]

[Kodocha7]

I ALSO MAE A GLaDOS COSTUME TOO it was a white vest with a silver tie and a white box pleated mini skirt with a belt imade out of cords that tieds together that hang off the sides of me, white arm gauntlets like the ones miku hatsune has with a circuit board on them and a long white pigtailed wig with cords in it tying it into pigails, a blue core choker,a orange core bracelet,and purple the and yellow in my wig, and white gogo boots to finish it off

[0oKamiKatzeo0]

i want to eat this cake

[gothofamarica]

gasp! i knew the cake wasn't a lie :)

[sezani]

Creepy

[Scelestus3]

Somewhat creepy. But spectacular quotation and imitation. I used to run a full myspace page decorated to be GLaDOS's operating system. I even entered the forums like that. It was... FUN.

[GamerzHideaway]

XD That was brilliant!

[electrlc]

Totally awesome cosplay! ^-^

Now I'm inspired to do my own take on GLaDOS, but this one is the best, hands-down. :P

[ReitannaSeishin]

[Staringathesun]

Leave it to us, Washingtonians to do something awesome like this.

[TheRumIsGone]

Best. Cosplay. Ever.

[LucarioandSuicuneFan]

WHere can I get this costume?

[Flacksh0t]

omg this sucks hard

[hinekde]

whooohooooo! this is what I call a FANatic!

[DragonAnimeLover08]

THE CAKE IS A LIE... the cake is a lie...the cake is a lie... ^_^ and >_> I loved the game and omg ^_^ THAT IS THE AWeSOMEST COSTUME EVER!!!!

[dracometallium]

OMG! This is great! I will had love to met her.

[HileTroy]

Amazing Costume :D

[SemTatsuki]

Woah! I never thought this would be possible!

[T3XProductions]

That would be sweet if she replaced that neck band with an actual voice converter.

Still nice costume, excet whats with the gloves? 5/5

[TickTockMentalist]

I REALLY want to do that, actually, but I would have to find a good one.

Thanks. <3 Actually, the stripey armbands were last-minute. I wanted to make some just for the costume, but I ran out of time, so I used those. Next time I plan on making better ones. ^^

[HileTroy]

Nice costume!

Is the cake made out of all the wacky ingredients the blue sphere recites before you incinerate it? haha.

[TickTockMentalist]

...Actually, inside the box the hat was made out of, I HAD Fish-shaped candies, crackers.... XDDD

[TheAsterik]

This. THISSS. XDD Ohgod I love you, man. <3

[FF7RLZ]

that was cool.

[A1cheeze]

THE CAKE IS A LIEEEEEEEEEE!!!lol nice cosplay.

[kibasmyboi]

wat anime is she from nd were you pacman or sumthin else

[digitaldolphin]

Her cosplay is from the game Portal, not an anime. And yes, I dressed up as Pacman, but that was for Halloween 2008.

[ShaftInAfrica920]

See to them, you're just a freak...

...like me!

[klakkid]

is that pokebals in her basket?

[BAR1918HellYEAH]

it isnt a basket its the goddamned cake that you never get

[Saria18242023]

That the cake. she doesn't have a basket, or poke balls..

[ironkitsune]

AWESOME COSTUME. the only thing to make it better was if her "morality core" actually fell off when she recited the line.

[TickTockMentalist]

Well, there's the trick....

I didn't have my morality core on, now did I? >=DDDD

[TXWulfgurl]

Uh, u also forgot the curiosity core

[EVLTRD]

Cool? Kinda.

Sorta Creepy? HELL YEAH!

[xAnimeReporter]

I know XD I hate watching people act like what they're dressed up as XD (kinda ironic of me right? o.o)

[bassplyer1989]

Hot?

Defiantly.

[UEGGaara]

THE CAKE IS REAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Momo6756]

Screw you GlaDos and your lies of Cake! Thanks for the ASPHD though!=)

[MirbBrim]

That. was cool.

=D

My dad just got a GPS, and he got a GlaDos voice to tell us where to go xD

Its really funny

[digitaldolphin]

I've seen that on a friend's GPS, it's a good mix of creepy/awesome! XD

[MirbBrim]

yeah it is =]

i think its fan made?

[digitaldolphin]

Probably... I've seen 2 different versions. One of them lied to you! XD

[MirbBrim]

haha awesome!

Well, its rather in character. =D

[BigTiam]

Kinda creepy to think about how many times she must have played that part of the game to get it all down. I mean the game is awesome, but a little too far for me.

[TickTockMentalist]

Trying to design that costume, it was IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO MEMORIZE THAT SEQUENCE. XD' The sheer amount of times I played that end battle just to jump around and look at GlaDOS herself would have done it....

I just have a really good memory for quotes. ^^'

[TheCrimsoNinja]

i memerized it after the second time

[JustAPrayer]

Awesome!!!!!

[gaiaclan57]

That's awesome!!!

[vlax42]

AWSOME!! damn that was an excellent cosplay!

[darkreign16]

lol wut

[KillapleX]

Mmmm gaming girls are hot!

[noman208956]

GLaDOS eats jesus-o's every day to keep test subjects in check! start ure day of the holy way with jesus-o's

[blackandbluestar]

I'm going to cosplay as GLaDOS in the fall! :D

Excellent memory & nice cake. :P

[Pentharis]

oh that is FAB! =D I wish I'd seen that! I must've missed it though D=

[dancingstorm]

... GLaDOS is made of win. :D

[comicgirl1]

is that a real cake? can i have some

[DragonOfTheTwilight]

Nice, cosplay.

[souske25]

the cake is real

[demon1023]

NOOOO!!! THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!!!

[MrNobody47710]

It's a hat box with pecans glued onto it. I hope it's tasty ^_^

[TickTockMentalist]

Not so much. XDD I had a packet of fish-shaped candies inside, though.

[LorenzoTheMedici]

what about the rhubarb

[sasukesfangirl1]

haha i luv it xDD

[Aranica]

Haha, great cosplay. I want that cake. NOW.

And remember, you will be baked, and then there will be cake!

[Xxei]

Great costume and great performance :)

[beastgirlsara]

That was epic! How did I miss her at the con?

[TickTockMentalist]

I wore this one only on Friday night and all-day Sunday. ^^' So I might have been tough to find, I'm afraid. ^^'''' Thanks, though! <3

[Prideauxdc]

Wow that was awesome, kudos to TicktockMentalist (:

[javakat343]

I must say that I liked her costume and took her pic, but at the time I didn't know who she was

...now I'm a total Portal freak and sing the still alive song a good 5 times a day

.....its realy funny I got home after the con and researched the game because I had been hearing "the cake is a lie" all over the con, and

...and then I went through my pictures again and was like OMG its Glados!...yep

[TickTockMentalist]

**Laughs** Do you think you could send me the picture sometime? I love seeing what was taken. And I'm glad you got into Portal - it's one of my all-time favorites, now. XD'

[fruitychu]

Aww, she's so cute. XD I don't think I care at all about her voice or whatever, since I haven't had the chance to play the game... but I quite enjoyed it, and it's impossible to get a voice-act a robot without some mixing and junk.

I had no idea kotaku wouldn't like it as much, and its certainly not as horrifying as man-faye. >_>

[Rebochan]

Hey, I just wanted to say that first of all, I'm the one that sent the video to Kotaku. I thoguht they'd like it, and joking aside, they did. There's a lot of commenters that seem to think that hating cosplayers is cool though. I didn't expect that kind of reaction when I sent it in.

I really do like it though! And I didn't think there was anything wrong with the video either.

[TickTockMentalist]

It's all right. I really appreciate the fact that you liked it enough to send it in in the first place! <3 Thanks for your kind words.

[Xiatter]

I like the video because she had the idea to turn GlaDOS into a plausible cosplay idea.

The problem is, she is too expressive. Obviously she can't recreate a robotic voice completely accurately, but more of a monotone would have helped.

Still interesting, though.

See, Kotakuites aren't all so bad.

[TickTockMentalist]

^^''' I know I wasn't spot-on with the voice. My problem was that at this point, I was speaking through a raging sore throat. @_@' I'm a vocalist - I usually have a LOT more control over my tone than this. But thanks so much for the compliment! <3

[Xiatter]

Oh, hey! Well maybe that's your problem--you're just too good at controlling your voice, even with a sore throat.

Heh. Either way it took balls and creativity to do this, so kudos. :) Hope to see more interesting/pleasing cosplays, less scary ones (i.e. male Sailor Mooners).

[digitaldolphin]

I have a video of one of those male Sailor Moon's too ;-)

LOL

[TickTockMentalist]

Maybe. XD

Thanks so much, though. <3333

[eskilla]

Please don't group all kotaku-ites together ;_; *I* thought it was awesome. Perhaps it might be even better with a little hand-held voice changer? GLaDos is very hard to take on though, respect for doing it.

[digitaldolphin]

Don't worry, I'm sure he's aware there are still some good people who frequent Kotaku. Unfortunately, it's the really vocal ones who tend to be the easily led sheeple who will get their hate-on whenever they're pointed in a convenient direction.

I read Kotaku myself from time to time still ^_^

[carpen0ct3m]

Fuck, you Kotaku faggots are a bunch of fuckwads. This cosplay was fucking awesome. The best around. At least all you twatwaffles are grouped together at one site so other gaming blogs dont have to put up with you. Whatever, enjoy your news posts about gaming-themed cakes and fucking wii-peripherals and jacking off on figurines and shit, rather than talking about real news. Faggots.

[molewizard]

THAT'S AWESOME.

Crazy quoting, strange person.

[spiro37]

u look...............weird......­..............

[digitaldolphin]

It's a creative interpretation of GLaDOS... I think she's SUPPOSED to look a little weird ^_^

[llamajuice]

Indeed... when I heard about this I was like "How... would... that work?"... surprisingly she pulled it off.

[TickTockMentalist]

YIKE, sorry, computer freaked out and quad posted.

[Lijik]

The more I watch this, the less cringe-worthy it becomes. The first time it was all "Excellent costume, however I have a case of the ear-rape". Upon my fourth viewing, I am completely enthralled with it. Excellent idea, excellent costume, and I humbly suggest to TickTockMentalist on practicing the voice a bit more as thats the only flaw.

[SomeRandomGuy123]

Good concept, but poor execution.

[Furious321]

She says I'll be dead... yet I'm still alive.

:D

[JEREMYSTIVES]

wtf

[Hotaru9]

TickTock, are you V-chan?

[TickTockMentalist]

Yes, I am. <3 Hey, dearie.

[LadyCorax]

LOL, I especially like the Aperture apron!

[TickTockMentalist]

Thanks - I was fond of the idea, myself. XD'

[GravitarLord]

That... was freakin awsome! High5! XD

[oww108]

...?

[GrandKamikaze]

Its a cosplay from a game called Portal. You wouldnt get it if u didn play it. XD

[zergdaddy]

That's clever!

But I bet that cake isn't real.

The cake is a lie, you know.

Maybe you should marry that thing since you love it so much. Do you want to marry it WELL I WON'T LET YOU! How does that feel?

[tylerichards]

i would do her.

[TickTockMentalist]

Er, thanks? XD''''

O__o Wonder where all of you are finding the link to this all of a sudden...suddenly there's a ton of people watching! Any idea, digitaldolphin? Maybe we should collab more often. XDDDD

[digitaldolphin]

I'm wondering the same thing.... it just exploded! O.o But the only shown link to this video is nothing major... I thought maybe Penny Arcade had linked to it at first :P

And yeah, we should deffinately collaberate in the future! ^_^ next time I'll catch you on my video camera and not my digi-cam. MUCH better quality that way! Any chance of you coming to Anime Evolution in Burnaby BC (Canada)?

[drakhlion]

Maybe Kotaku, they have a link.

[TickTockMentalist]

You may be right...just went looking. Then regretted it, seeing as most of the comments were people saying I was 'ear-grating' and a 'loser' for saying the speech.

Eh. Everyone's a critic.

[digitaldolphin]

Don't let them get you down, that's just the way they are. It takes a hell of a lot more guts to do what you did then to sit back in a computer chair and put people down anonymously.

[TickTockMentalist]

Yeah, I know. People can be so rude. ._.' I'm just kinda down lately, so it's not helping. I'm thinking of finding someone who posts on that site to post a little message on my behalf or something. I dunno if it's even worth it, though, people will be people.

[TickTockMentalist]

XD' Hrm. If anyone out there can explain where you're finding this, please let us know?

^^ <333 Sure! I'm afraid the only Con I can usually make is Sakura Con, though. .__. But I'll be fine-tuning the costume for next year and bringing it back, along with my Bubble-Head Nurse cosplay. ^^

[UberPirateNinjaz]

COOL!!!!! nice job

[SaintUnderscoreVegas]

I wanna see her spew deadly neurotoxin.

[TickTockMentalist]

I wanted to, but the convention had policies against that sort of thing. ;)

[ArrestedDeveloper]

Yikes

[Shaynringan]

This is hands down the most awesome GLaDOS tribute I've ever seen. Me any my coworkers here at Black Mesa would like to extend an invitation for you to OH GOD what's happening in the laborato?Wrauaskjssszzzzdd-

[TickTockMentalist]

"Why thank you. It is good to hear that our competitors - oh. Never mind. The transmission has been lost."

[TickTockMentalist]

^^ <3 Thanks! Unfortunately, my throat hurt that day, so I wasn't as good as I would have liked. XP' I'm bringing it back next year, in such a way that wasn't put together in the week before the Con. XD'''''''' I wanna see yours when it's done, though!

[digitaldolphin]

Epic idea!!

[TickTockMentalist]

I'm sorry. ^^''''' I seriously didn't think I'd be the first!

[digitaldolphin]

Still worth doing I think ^_^

[TickTockMentalist]

I like to think it was. <3

[FinalFrog]

Awesome cosplay. =)

[Zeronightx]

Never played portal, but um, cosplayers amuse me, ahaha.

[CupcakeAndTea]

really cool

[elrapido5150]

EPIC LIE CAKE!

[hikarifira]

Portal is epic win <3

[AddictSlayers]

This is the greatest video ever!!!!

[shmoobunny182]

haha

[TickTockMentalist]

Heeey, that's me! XD <33333 Thanks for posting this, I was hoping to find some of the videos people took of me. ^^

[digitaldolphin]

Getting this video up was pretty much top priority, even before sleep when I got home from the con. I'm so happy I ran into you!! ^_^ Were you together with the other Portal / Aperture Science cosplayers by the way? I've got a video of them singing Still Alive if I can fix the audio (they sang quiet and the con was very loud...).

[TickTockMentalist]

XDDD <3333 I'm flattered! I'm so glad the costume was so well-recieved - I'll definitely bring it back next year. ^^

Unfortunately, no. The group was meeting on Saturday, and I had to be a Bubble-Head Nurse that day for cosplay. T____T But I sang Still Alive in the hallway anyhow, so it's all good. XD'

[digitaldolphin]

With a promise like that, I know a few people who will DEFFINATELY come down to SakuraCon next year then ;-)

And it's really a great song, I get it stuck in my head all the time!! LOL

[TickTockMentalist]

XD <33333 The most flattering thing to happen was when a guy came up and asked for my picture, then told me he worked at Valve. I was like "O___O REALLY?" It made my day. XD

XD I can sing it in two languages.

[carpen0ct3m]

AKA Me. Thanks again for the video dude. I'm sorry I missed out on seeing the cosplay for myself. If I would have known about it, a portal wouldn't have gotten me there faster.

The funny thing is, I saw the GLaDOS girl drawing only days before I went to the con.

Also ticktockmentalist, you and the chell/A.S. guys should deffinately collaborate on getting together. IMO, you both were some of the best cosplays at the con, and I'm not just saying that because I love Portal.

[TickTockMentalist]

**Laughs** Again, very flattering, thank you. <3 Actually, the costume is based on my own design - my own "GlaDOS girl" which I haven't posted on my DevArt yet. XD' I thought it was cute, though. ^^ I've seen a couple of GlaDOS-tan drawings, but this one is from my crazy head. ^^

Thanks again! <3 I really wanted to, and I found a Chell in the Dealer's Room I got some photos with, but the main Valve shoot was Saturday. ^^' I had to be a SH Nurse that day for cosplay. ^^''''

[saikou13]

Found this after your GLaDOS cosplay was mentioned on the Penny Arcade news article. Nice job. :D

[TickTockMentalist]

I was so floored by that. XD'

[RoswellFan191]

xD

I didn't see her, btw.....my brother and I found like 30 guys dressed as girls lol

[digitaldolphin]

Only 30? LOL

I've never seen so much guy->girl crossplay at a con before... it was a little disturbing at times, although some of it was REALLY well done (some were VERY hard to tell!!). One guy was dressed up as a girl from Kashimashi, and one of my friends noticed him, and went over making comments about "her" and then couldn't keep a straight face when she finally got up close to say hi to the cosplayer. I had to explain to the guy that his costume had the desired effect on my friend :P

[RoswellFan191]

lol

I would've been cracking up

I even got 1 of the guys to lean on my brother while I took a picture of them xD

My brother had such an awkward face

[Tarcamiel]

Sweet. ^_^

[xpand86]

hahaha awsome
