This is Nathan. While the rest of you were off being giddy over playing as Big Daddy in Bioshock 2, Nathan was building himself a costume that lets him play as Big Sister in real life. Now that’s commitment.
It’s the designer’s second Bioshock costume: two years ago he made a similarly impressive Big Daddy get-up. And as you can see, a DIY Big Sister costume isn’t for the faint of heart: corsets and leg braces are just the beginning. But if you’re a truly dedicated gamer – or a truly deranged costume enthusiast – it doesn’t get much better than this. If you start yours now, you’ve got an outside shot of having it ready by Halloween. [College Humor]

I must say though, must suck if you get a itchy nose while you’re wearing that helmet.
