The UEFA Euro Championship is now upon us! Football fever has gripped Europe once again. Flags will be draped from windows, stuck on cars and worn proudly as a badge of honour on many a football fan’s breast.

Today we’re looking at the truth… that football fans are, in fact, secret cosplay enthusiasts.

Exhibit A

The casuals.

People dressed in their team’s colours. A common site at any football match. People who want to commit to the team spirit. Much like somebody sporting the Attack on Titan Survey Corps jackets or a few choice accessories.

Who doesn’t want to step into the clothing of their hero? Whether it’s good ol’ Cap, Spidey or Wayne Rooney of the England football team.

GO TEAM!

Number #2

The hardcores.

Some may sport team shirts, some go that extra mile and crack the body paint out.

Exhibit C

Flowey.

This one speaks for itself.

After all, who doesn’t want to spend a day as Flowey, that terrifying yellow flower from Toby Fox’s hit Undertale.

Or, I’ve just been told, to show your Welsh pride!

So, there you have it. As much as they may try to deny it, who isn’t a fan of a good bit of cosplay!

To conclude, what bigger fans of footie are there than the teams themselves. I give you…

The Crystal Palace Football Club (CPFC).

And I think they look awesome!

What do you think? If there are any sports get-ups that didn’t make it into this post, share them in the comments!

Get your team colours on let’s welcome the EURO 2016 together!

MCM Comic Con London 2015

We were a busy bunch last weekend at London Comic Con! Darting about and snapping cosplayers and the amazing general atmosphere and stalls. We had queues of people all dressed up at our photo booth, just waiting to be shot (by the camera, of course). Here are a few of the best of the best that we managed to grab. Of course, we ended up taking an incredible amount of photos, so you can view the rest on our Official Go2Games.com Facebook Page.

Is Rihanna unintentionally cosplaying?

We’ve nabbed a few images that see Rihanna looking quite a bit like your favourite Nintendo characters! Did she mean to do this? We don’t know! In any case, it’s all pretty impressive!

MCM Comic Con Birmingham

The cosplay, the banter, the low down…

Soooooo… We’ve just finished our second MCM Comic Con show in Birmingham and how was it?… AWESOME!

What happened?! You say.. Who did you meet?! You say.. Well, I shall unfold the story of G2G’s encounter with the cosplaying folk of Birmingham at the NEC!

First of all, these were the directions to our allotted parking space. Never a more useful piece of paper!

Jean Luc Picard was our satnav for the journey to the NEC. A grand job, as always..

That’s our tent.. Yay! This was the calm before the storm (troopers). It was a 5:30am wake up call but we were all in high spirits and raring to go! Gaze upon our wonderful selection of Skylanders!

Here are some of the cosplayers that we met on Saturday. Most impressive attire!

This is Jonathan Breck (not the actual actor) and he plays The Creeper in the film Jeepers Creepers. For some reason (and I have no idea why) this man is one of my heroes. That is all..

Groot and Rocket!! What a marvellous pair they make..

Don’t shoot! We are but mere gamers!

A bit of Robots LIVE action here

This was definitely a favourite of our weekend. Star Lord, little & large!

This was outside the front of our tent… *Blows the G2G trumpet*

This photo had to be shown to the world. The kitchen in our accommodation was, unfortunately, being refurbished and out of bounds. This was our kitchen for the weekend. A hallway delight! Eating dinner was just as brilliant. You know you’ve had a long journey when you’re sat in an empty bath eating a meat feast pizza..

Sunday greeted us with even more wonderful cosplayers & delights…

Colm Meaney was on the MCM Main Stage, talking about his latest film. The Dark Lord and myself were lucky enough to meet Colm and have a brief chat with him!! (The Dark Lord fan-girled.. OBVIOUSLY!)

My favourite video game of all time.. Alice: Madness Returns! A fantastic handmade costume and hobby horse here!

These guys…

Double Thor action! *Blushes profusely*

The only Ramona Flowers all weekend…But she looks awesome!

The Joker takes no prisoners..

Arno Dorian looking as dapper as ever!

Jafar, Jafar, he’s the man!

That moment when The Stig comes to play Tekken 6 in your tent…

Deadpool also gave the PS3 a seeing to!

Probably one of the greatest moments of the weekend… LEGO guys playing Tekken in our tent. Minds, hearts and souls BLOWN!!

The White Rabbit and Pyramid Head. They go together so well!

Another outstanding Alice: Madness Returns costume! (Luna is jealous)

As you can see.. An array of fantastic costumes here! We had an absolute blast and everything went swimmingly. London, prepare yourself. Because we will…we WILL…ROCK YOU!

We were hungry… DON’T JUDGE US!!

So… Our van broke down and myself, the Dark Lord & Roberta were towed away in an AA van, back to the secret G2G location! Nothing short of an adventure and our driver was also a very nice man indeed!

We also discovered that Roberta has a very interesting tattoo on his foot. What looks like an oddly shaped mallard?!

Mass Effect Femshep

This cosplay is certain to turn a few heads!

Now this is nothing short of uncanny! Freshly discovered Commander Shepard cosplay has come from the visual artist, Freya Willia. It’s nothing like anyone has ever seen in the world of cosplay, and you can see a series of photos on Willia’s Facebook page. The costume took her a total of two years to make but, judging by these photos, it was time extremely well spent!

MCM Comic Con Midlands 2015

These are the shots you’ve been waiting for!

As promised, here are the wonderful shots taken by our photographers, Patrick Larder and Joseph Madden, of MCM Comic Con Midlands 2015! And look at this rather chilled out character on the sofa.. It’s good old Iron Man having an Iron Brew!

So, without any more prattling on, here are the smashing shots that our lovely photographer chaps took.

This is our joyous, inflatable tent. Isn’t it pretty?!

As you have now seen.. Wonderful cosplay, most excellent people, and mass amounts of Star Wars induced peril! We do hope that you enjoy browsing through our colourful selection of shots and remember to keep those peepers pealed for our next lot at MCM Comic Con Birmingham 2015!

MCM Comic Con Midlands 2015

Go2Games’ first ever Comic Con and the first of many to come this year! Here’s the low-down!

Saturday 14th February 2015 marked Go2Games’ first ever MCM Comic Con, which was held in the Midlands at the International Centre, Telford. We arrived on Thursday evening and stayed in an incredible secluded cottage/mansion, which our team thoroughly enjoyed. It also felt like we were a part of a horror film whenever nightfall came, which was an added bonus!

Friday was set-up day and we spent the afternoon/evening erecting our grand, inflatable tent, our fantastic banner and filling the tent with all of our goodies ready for the following morning, whilst our lovely photographers (Patrick and Joe) filmed the whole process! Here’s a look at our tent on set-up day. Pardon the bags and boxes; we were still unpacking and setting up our lovely merchandise!

Here’s a shot of our most excellent banner which had been hung up just moments before!

Saturday morning gave an early start to the team as we arrived back at the venue, just before 8am, to give the finishing touches to our tent, merchandise, and costumes! An hour later saw one of the longest queues that I’ve probably ever seen, which was filled with such incredible cosplayers, all aching to get in to the nerve centre! Here are a few recognisable characters that I met along the way…

I was also ecstatic to meet some of my own kind along the way, and right outside our big old tent too! Does anyone recognise this marvellous man below too?…

I was very lucky to have a photo with Mark Meer, who voices the character Commander Shepard from the extremely popular franchise – Mass Effect. What a lovely guy he is too!

The whole day went extremely well. Excellent cosplay (the winners of the Cosplay Masquerade are featured at the very top of this piece), brilliant atmosphere, great customers and we all very much felt at home and in our element being surrounded by such wonderfully outrageous characters! As you can see, our tent was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Even the Star Wars clan!…

A brilliant day was had by all and we celebrated with a lovely meal made by our colleague Sam and toasted to our success! 

These morph suits, which we sell and have been modelled by the Dark Lord (Spiderman) and myself (Deadpool), sparked a lot of social interest…

Even Jean Luc Picard came along with us and gave us a helping hand. His forte is clearly cooking and he swiftly became our head chef for the stay…

I also, as per usual, managed to get myself into a spot of bother whilst doing the rounds…

Here are a few more shots for you to enjoy, which I managed to snap, and do keep your eyes peeled for more fantastic photographs coming from our two wonderful photographers, Patrick Larder & Joe Madden!…

Power Rangers photo-bombed by one of our minions!

Oh I do LOVE Scarecrow!

Everybody get down!

 Comic Con 2014
Our very own Dark Lord of Business Development had a blast!

It was all going on at the weekend at London’s Comic Con! Fantastic aura and, above all, outrageously glorious costume.

Go2Games’ very own Dark Lord of Business Development went to see what all of the fuss was about, so my gift to you is a few snaps of the event. Enjoy!
