Cosplay Feature: Gray Oranges' Rikku!

Photo by David Ngo I won't ever shy away from writing about cosplays of Rikku's look from Final Fantasy X-2 and Gray Orange did a fantastic job portraying her in both the overall cosplay look PLUS the pose work. Of course I'll get to all that in due time but let's start at the top! It's certainly a cosplay worn for several events and I want to say I first saw this in the overall collection of MAGFest photos back in January of this year. I really love how the multiple braid strands are integrated into the blonde wig for starters. I can't tell if they're either part of the wig itself or the blue headband that's wrapped around. In any case, following this is a red scarf wrapped around Irini's neck before you then get to the yellow bikini top. Here, you can also see orange trim lines as part of the piece. Oh, I forgot to mention that the red scarf actually travels all the way down to her legs. These end points then transition to a yellow/orange gradient!

First Impressions: Revolution 60


At PAX East, I mentioned I tried out 2 games in demo form. While not completing the whole demo I feel like I got just about enough information to write up these short First Impression posts. With that being said yes these might be incredibly short but I'll do as best as I can to sum up my experiences. One of the games I tried out was Revolution 60! Cosplayers It's Raining Neon and Bethany Maddock were there to promote the game with the outfits they made and after speaking with them, they encouraged me to try out the game so I did!


The demo was displayed on an iPad and fully utilizes touch controls. The game starts with choosing a difficulty level and you're thrown right into a sequence with main character Holiday. The scenes are coupled with quick time motions that you have to complete by following the path with your fingers. Gameplay itself is more of an RPG style with elements from games such as Mass Effect. In this case it's mainly how choice can affect the entire game as you play through. Combat is fairly straightforward with you moving one square at a time and tapping to fire your weapon which as a cooldown. You can move 1 space in any direction and as you dodge and attack you build up your special attack meter. When this is full, you move in for a strong attack. The graphics in this game are very mod like/old school and the all-female cast of characters is a definite strong point. As of now the game has had a successful Kickstarter and is set to release on iOS devices plus PC and Mac very soon! I'm definitely going to keep my eye on this and if you want more information, check out the Kickstarter link below! :)
