The Greatest Final Fantasy Chocobo Cosplay in History [Gallery]
Not many people have attempted to create a realistic Final Fantasy Chocobo costume, but among those I’ve seen, French cosplayer “Mathoz costumes” has hands down crafted the best one I’ve ever seen. Behold:
The exquisitely detailed costume is based on the chocobos seen in Final Fantasy XIV and comes complete with a light armor, a saddle, a leather bridle, and more! Mathoz told me that he spent over 1000 hours working on the cosplay, and spent between $600 and $1200 in material. But even though the costume looks absolutely incredible, the real magic happens when it moves.

Incredible, isn’t it? Even the eyelids and the mouth are motorized, giving the impression that the creature is truly alive!
For those interested, Mathoz will be competing in the upcoming GlitchCon cosplay contest on Nov. 14 at around 1:20 EST, where he as already been voted as one of the finalists.

How to Make an Insanely Powerful Real-Life Bat-Signal [Video]
From NightHawkInLight:
In this video I build a bat signal from a lensed flashlight beam. This design can be used to project any image, or simply act as a spotlight. For the light source I’m using the Imalent MS18 flashlight.
Similar fresnel lenses as the one I used in this video are available on eBay. I used a lens 250mm in diameter with a 500mm focal length.

The Evil Dead Movie Series Gets the “Honest Trailer” Treatment [Video]
When I watched the first Evil Dead movie in the 80s, it absolutely terrified me. I was around 11 or 12 at that time, so it wasn’t really a movie for someone my age. Then I watched the second and third ones later, and I laughed my way through. Screen Junkies’ honest trailer brought me back to that much simpler era, and I have to say, I kind of miss it.
