Bad news, guys.  We officially can't talk smack about the Talimancers anymore...

[ IMAGE REMOVED FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROTECTION]


This trouser-stain of a human being is History's Greatest Monster.

Damn you beat me to posting that image:o
I am now officially freaked out:huh: But we have to realize the 'consequences (<-- spelling fail?) of this picture.
Time to get this thread to page 5000:whistle:

Hey guys you found my picture! I'll post some more angles later.





*vomits at the thought*

[Mondo47]

It's funny how everyone was playing nice in the Motivationals thread until someone brought up "The Doll"... then all the militant loons stand up to be counted and start their poo-flinging contest. You know, I could find a dozen pictures of fat guys with beards dressed as Faye Valentine without effort. I have a pic somewhere of a group of Zoeys 'startling' some Witches (much to the entertainment of the huge crowd of male nerds behind them - most armed with cameras). And I have seen at least one bit of utterly terrifying (or possibly hillarious depending on your sensibilities) home-made 45% incestuous (only in the Luke/Leia/vader sense, not actually incestuous) group amateur Star Wars cosplay porn. Hell, I've dressed up as Alexander de Large and made out with someone dressed as She-Ra... that might have had more to do with the half bottle of rum I'd drunk though The point is, I wouldn't really care.

Kaidan once pointed out that aliens were weird. So are fans. Simple as that. They run the gamut of Regular Joes, crazy-ass militants, creepy pervs and gushing kids. It's the way it's been for centuries; I'm sure that Leonardo and Michelangelo had their share of fanbois and fangirls (not that either of them would have been that into fangirls *ahem*). Now we have global fanbases; sprawling protoplasmic horrors made up of the best and worst not only a city, or a country can offer, but an entire planet. So some of them will be doll-makers that score an 8.0 on the Freddie Fruitcake scale - it just stands to reason. Law of averages and all that.

It's no big deal, though. Roll with it. It's only a big deal when folk get all defensive over, well, fictional characters. Yup, I just rolled back into the Tali thread and saw the reception Bobby got from a couple of people over there. Wow. Have you read Misery? Yeesh, some people are messed up. Bob, keep looking out the window for Kathy Bates looking folk armed with hammers and pigs. And Tali masks.

And then they bemoan the hard time they get from other fans... could it be because a vocal minority over-reacts to simple humour? Disproportionate retribution anyone? So which is truly sadder; a chunky dude cosplaying as Jack or someone getting all verbally aggressive because someone cracked a creative gag about his favorite character getting humped to death by a 750 lb armoured toad? While part of my old ass loves kids trying to school me in a forum (God, is it funny), the reaction that starts it all is troubling. Almost as troubling as a homemade Realdoll of an alien.

So, I say let's all raise a glass to Jack-dude. He's got more balls than some people, and probably a better grip on reality. Well, I do say probably...

Lmfao that is hilarious. At least you can see the guy who did it. The Tali doll picture leaves a sense of mystery like, "which one of those weird ass Talimancers did it?"

I think in a few months, all ME fans are going to get a creepy reputation. Before you know it some fat chick will make an outfit like Miranda's and try to look sexy in it .

I don't buy it. This is clearly a false-flag operation carried out to make us Jack fans look bad. 

[Jackal904]

Judging by the background, it looks like it was at a convention. So there was probably a lot of weird people dressed up as Mass Effect characters. And I'm sure there was also a lot of people dressed up as certain characters they shouldn't be dressed up as, i.e. fat guy with a belt bra. And there was probably some fat chicks dressed as Miranda too.

Ah yes "conventions". The alleged meeting grounds for humans to share stories and publicly announce their devotion for a fictional character. We have dismissed those claims.

[Jackal904]

Posting in a character fan thread is one thing. Dressing up as said character is a whole 'nother story.

Imagine that guy is someones dad^^

[agentwaffle]

She would be more attractive with less tattoos....

[Mondo47]

Just to remind us why we're all here...



Where the hell did you get that from?



Oh God... I'm getting the 'wait till I get you home' look again. Or is that the 'wait till you're off duty' look... raaaawwwwrrrr!

Oh wait, Miranda's standing behind me. Foiled again.

Besides a great new opinion, anything more to share? something on which you base your opinion, like, an argument? So we can engage in a nice and friendly discussion?

personally I like the tattoo's, but honestly...I dont want to see how she looks like a grandmother with those things. Thats gonna be horrible:huh:

Perhaps, but somehow I doubt whether she was ever planning on living that long.

And if She REALLY gets into a situation where she will live that long she can always remove a few... but only if she wants.

that's the beauty of living in the future eh?  With the right kind of money who knows what kind of rejuvination techniques they have for the epidermis.  You die at the age of 150 but you don't look much older than 45.  As weird as it sounds Jack is as sensitive about how she looks as the next person.

Seeing as how Blue Suns mercs seem to keep getting their logo tattoos removed and re-applied when on and off missions, sounds like it's not a big deal to remove tats. But for Jack it would be a big deal

I can see her getting rid of the "why the **** not" tattoos but not the others

And after the picture came out, how many immedately ran out to make one of their own?

But I always think it's easier to consider fandoms you don't grock to be crazier than those you do. I recall Alistair fans talking about how obsessive Thane fans were and someone pointing out that Alistair has a massive fangirl following. Yes, someone replied, but they're 'not serious' while Thane fans are!

Update on retexture work haven't got as far as I would like but I got busy the last few days.


I have also started working on the head Made the scars a little sharper but thats about it and yet to be screen shot worthy

Any update on how this project is going? I'm still quite interested! I'm sure many others are as well.

[Epantiras]

That guy cosplaying as Jack (I'm not brave enough to quote the original post because I fear the pic) is just creepy. He's my new hero

[Mondo47]

A fella calling themselves cyberfrog81 just posted this over in the Motivationals thread, and I had to share it. I just popped on my red & greens, and boy does this work! Hats of to the guy

I said this in another thread, and thought I'd do so again here.

Said 'chunky dude' is Patrick, Jack's writer. He posted that image on his blog months before ME 2 came out.

I was sort of sad how no one seemed to know the character's creator.

And with their haranguing of an unknown man, the Jackolytes doomed their favorite character to complete absence from ME3, or death.

Say it ain't so

Oh please.  If someone can't take being made fun of the way they look in costume, they shouldn't dress up.  It's rule #1 of any cosplayer I've ever known. 

Case in point Sailor Bubba




This man does not do this every year not because he thinks he looks good....but to scare the Sailor Moon Fangirls.
