    I'm not a LARPer. But I do live my life as if a full choir singing O FORTUNA all the time is my soundtrack.

    It's pretty exciting, even if I'm the only one that can hear it. #cosplay

    I'm a larper myself (a french one) and this video is hilarious.
    The guy must be american, or at least a german comedian doing a spoof, cause we don't play with boffer weapon since the eighties. This kind of relics are only to be found in the US. His costume also qualifies for american standards. This a Fuck ! always moving to see a meme in the making. #cosplay

    Someone hasn't watched Darkon. Any movie which contains the following exchange, filmed in night vision, is proof we are the real thing:

    "If you come across more Agony's, they will be bought. BUT, the one that I do need, and will pay greatly for, is Super Natural Death Poison."

    For the record, American LARPers are not useless.

    ALL LARPers are equally useless, regardless of which nation they choose to infest. #cosplay
