Guy Builds Crazy Complicated War Machine Suit for Geek Festival

So my initial reaction to things like this is "Wow. That's geeky even for me."

Then I stop and think. This is basically just living out a childhood fantasy when you have the means to do it. How bad did I want Iron Man armor when I was 10 years old? Would I have killed for a utility belt or web-shooters back then? The answer to these and other similar questions is "A lot." and "YES!"

Hell, look at the picture I have of me on the site. I wore the reversible Superman/Batman cape (purchased at the Heritage Fair in Dundalk!) all the damn time. Sometimes without underwear as you can clearly see. To this day I still have more Nerf toys than a grown man my age should have.

So kudos to you, guy. You built a pretty cool suit of armor. All the shit moves and lights up and that is swell. I just probably wouldn't have worn it out of the house.

  2. I'm just indecisive about whether or not to buy the battle-axe.

    I almost bought a laser sight for those cool pistols I have too.
