Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land In Japan, Santa Claus does not have a beard — just a mustache, and an eyepatch. Oh yes; your dreams are almost true. This Christmas, MGS4 and LittleBigPlanet become one.
Normally, we’d slave over a snappy headline to lure you in. Something with “boobs” or “first this or that” or “Haruhi” in the title. But this is Metal Gear Solid 4 cosplay. This is gender-bending Raiden cosplay. It’s a hard sell. And you have to see it. Try as we might, our command of the English language is woefully inadequate in describing just how spectacular this particular outfit is in a simple headline. From the neck down, it’s fairly banal at first blush. From the chin-up however, it’s cosplay brilliance.
