We were able to get some top data on freaks – there was a costume contest on the Roccat stage.

First off, it was obvious that every one here takes this pretty seriously – there went a lot of time and love in these costumes, and the display is impressive. At the same time, it can be pretty unsettling for the unprepared nerd.

If you’re asking yourself: “Is that an Alien performing a dance routine?”, why, yes it is. If not, good for you

Oh alright, it was fun to watch – and make no mistake, these costumes can be very convincing.

me like costume.

In the end, orks proved to be unstoppable. To be honest, i wasn’t aware that green-skinned monsters might have any interest in EIZO monitors, but congratulations to our fanged, grunting, slobbering winners.

It is a little known fact that the destruction of the second death star left the remaining armed forces of the empire in shambles. The job market couldn’t take the whole military apparatus of a galaxy – spanning evil empire. Numbers of  unemployed, homeless and destitute Storm Troopers and TIE – fighter pilots soared. Thanks to conventions like the RPC, they found a new purpose in life and are off the streets – creating a better, safer convention for all of us.

Great costumes!

RPC 2010 started today at 10:00 am – hope you got your tickets!

The gates of Nerd Citadel

Follow us in our daring scientific endeavour – we plunge right into the crowd to find out what seperates the nerd from the freak – if there is any difference at all?
