Record Breaking Batman Cosplay!

 

Batman, Arkham version, Our favourite Comic Book Character has been brought to life in the form of a WORLD RECORD BREAKING COSPLAY SUIT.

Basically it is a bad ass Batman Suit, that blows all other Batman cosplay suits out of the water. Its so good it even could rival the movies. It has been entered into  Guinness World Record books for the most functional gadgets on a cosplay costume. It 23 working gadgets, including smoke spray, fire ball sprays, a bat signal torch, magnetic bat boomerangs, GPS! Bat claw – you name it he has it. Julian Checkley, sorry Batman is the don that made the suit that is based on the Arkham games. Julian is a Special Effects master by trade and spent 3 months making it. But I have done enough talking. Just watch the video above in awe.

If that isn’t enough, check this video out!

Kill A Bit: Stranger Things Point and Click

99 out of a hundred times, the missing kid is with a parent or relative.This is about that one other time.”

Freely available demo available online inspired by Stranger Things you play as police chief Jim Hopper in the early parts of the series searching for clues about why Will Byers is missing! Its very short and is a one-room, point and click adventure game and is created by Steven Alexander, James Mulvale & Jon Taylor-Stoll of Infamous Quests.

We advise that you give this a go after you have watched the series as it really wouldn’t make sense if you were to just pick up and play the game. Funk Butcher described it as an accessory to the TV show, complementing the whole mood and vibe of the show well, yet not giving anything away from the main story. Even being produced in an 8-bit style it embellishes the whole 80’s retro setting that Stranger Things has.
