Cosplayer Kamui impresses with her interpretation of an Asmodian character, infused with Aion’s distinctive look. A half a year of work and over a thousand dollars went into the project, and we can tell.
Enjoy!
Who: The Character Female Asmodian Plate Set from Aion – Tower of Eternity
Why: The Decision Every year I try to improve my skills a bit and search for costumes that give me a new challenge. My goal is to learn about new techniques and materials with every costume and I always dreamt to build armor. One day I saw a commercial of Aion and was just stunned by the armor and character design of this game. I tried it, searched for references and picked up the hardest plate set I could find. I also love the history and the character of the Asmodian and knew that I had to cosplay one of them! What: The Progress It took half a year to finish this costume, despite the fact that my boyfriend painted a lot of the armor. After some planning I decided to use a combination of Wonderflex and craft foam for the armor. I was also very afraid of the wig, because I never styled one before. But the problem was not that I never built armor before, or that the materials were quite new to me. It was just an amazing amount of work steps for this costume. When I finished one part, two further parts were waiting for me.
This costume didn't want to get finished and I was very often disappointed about my failures. I built my breast armor three times for example and the paint was just crazy. But the hardest thing I had to solve was the fixing. I tried a lot of methods, until I choose to use a huge amount of Velcro tape in combination with buckles. Yes, this costume was really hard to realize. Despite of this I had a lot of fun, learned a lot from it and it was just awesome to finish such a huge project.
I guess, final cost is around 1300 USD, but I gave up with counting. Where and When: The Debut I debuted my costume on Animuc 2009, Germany. A photoshoot followed one month later, which was taken by my boyfriend, Benjamin Schwarz.

The highlight of PAX so far, to me, was the inFamous panel. I liked it mostly for some stuff I’ll bring you later this week, but but I also liked it for what I’m about to show you: one of the Insomniac bros playing inFamous 2 on a giant projector screen. Because it looks totally great and about a million times more awesome than inFamous. Also, it takes place in and around Fake New Orleans, which is way cool.
So I could continue to talk and blah blah blah all over the place, but instead I’ll just let you watch this thing. Note that they had some issues with the projector at first, but they fix it. Watch it, please.
Multiplayer gaming is hard enough when you can talk to your colleagues, but trying to achieve some kind of cohesion with zero communication? It’s madness. More »

Another month, yet another PS3 firmware update. Little over one month since 3.41 (and two months since 3.40) comes yet another mandatory update for your PS3. Firmware 3.42 seemingly doesn’t add any functionality to your system beyond the usual “system software stability,” but it is required if you want to continue accessing the PlayStation Network or the PlayStation Store.
While unverified, this update may be a response to a recently-released jailbreak tool, which supposedly enables piracy on Sony’s once-bulletproof system. We’ll update this story if Sony provides any additional details on what this firmware does exactly.
PS3 Firmware 3.42 mandatory update available now originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:08:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
