A little late to the party but this expertly-crafted cosplay is by DeviantArt user Rick Boer aka *RBF Productions.
Boer, a teacher and biology student based in the Netherlands, wanted to pay homage to Naked Snake, the sneaky hero of "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater" through a collection of images which is impressive in the level of character detail.
Snake's not the only stealth character to grab Boer's attention: his Connor and Altair cosplay from the "Assassin's Creed" series is equally impressive.
'GTFO,' Doc About Sexual Harrassment In Gaming Is Kickstarted
Posted 5/14/13 10:25 am EST by Charles Webb in Movies, News, Sex in Video Games
Wherever you fall in the gender spectrum, you probably know what proceeds "GTFO" when you're playing online. There's a weird trigger for some male gamers out there, a bizarre response to finding out that the player on the other end of an infinite number of connections happens to be female: they want--nay, demand--to see skin. Maybe, to these gamers' minds, there's no serious reason that a female gamer is online, so why not troll and harass them until they either A., show some skin, or B. GTFO.
New York-based filmmaker Shannon Sun-Higginson takes a look at this phenomena in her recently fully-backed documentary, "GTFO," which has exceeded its $20,000 goal by a cool $13k.

'The Bureau: XCOM Declassified' Preview -- I Want To Believe
Posted 5/13/13 3:14 pm EST by Clint Mize in Previews, PS Vita, PS3, Xbox 360, XCOM
Hey, remember when 2K Marin announced a new XCOM game way back in 2010 and everyone got super excited about defending Earth against a new alien threat via a three-quater tactical view? Remember how when they said it would be a first person shooter instead and all those excited fans got really upset that it had been "dumbed down" for the masses of COD kiddies? What we saw during that 2010 E3 was a mixed bag for some and for most accounts 2K Marin has been mum about any details -- so much so that fans got tossed a quick but really fantastic (seriously it was our GOTY for 2012) franchise entry as "XCOM: Enemy Unknown" to keep some of the hardcore fans satiated. Well, a lot can change in three years and what may have been another mediocre shooter clone got altered into a tactical third person shooter blending elements from "XCOM: EU" and "Mass Effect" set during the Cold War.
We got a taste of what "The Bureau" would be a few weeks ago with this haunting live action trailer and last week I got a hands-on demo of what to expect come this summer.

Cosplay Team Love Squad Bring Tiny Tina And The Mechromancer From 'Borderlands 2' To Life
Posted 5/13/13 2:47 pm EST by Charles Webb in Cosplay
These fine pieces of costumed play are from the group calling themselves "Love Squad," a Moscow based collective of cosplayers who tackled "Borderlands 2" with this Tiny Tina (r) and Gaige the Mechromancer (l). While it's not the kind of crazy level detail you'd expect to find from the country that gives us elaborate, CG "Half-Life" fan films, the duo in the pictures above are still very good representations of their video game counterparts.
