It’s Halloween and its an awesome time for geeks gamers and otaku, we get to go all out with our friends, dressing up as obscure characters, going to parties and maybe even getting so intoxicated Mario Party starts to seem like a challenge. But not all of us are so lucky. For the lonely guy (or girl), Halloween can be an unpleasant experience. For you, lonely brother, there’s at least 5 things I can think up that would make your crippling loneliness more bearable today.
No one will be the wiser…
Cosplay
Come on, its the only time of the year where you can cosplay in public without the ridicule of society. So dress up, go out and blend in. Of course no one will understand the difference between your expertly crafted Gundam costume and a generic Power Rangers robot but hey, at least today they aren’t calling the cops on you.
Online Gaming
Finally enjoy online matches with players as mature and skilled as you. With all the kids out trick or treating its time to play with other adults… and realize they are just as bad.
Grind your favorite MMO in a cheap sugar induced trance
Screw giving out candy, you have better uses for it, right? Hit your local grocery store for some extremely discounted candy, as the sun goes down so does the price of sugary treats. Armed with so much sugar you can grind all the way to Monday without even blinking. Sure you’ll end up in an diabetic shock but that epic mount will be totally worth it.

Have your own party
Who needs people anyway? They never loved you like your figures do! Gather your ‘friends’ and get ready to party! Who knows where the night might take you? Hey, I think that pillow case is checking you out!
Commiserate Online
If there is one thing the internet has done for lonely geeks is that they no longer need to be lonely on their own. They can be lonely in groups! So hit up your favorite forum, image board or chat room and commiserate with others about how you never liked Halloween in the first place and how those damn teenagers should get off your lawn.
That should be enough to get you through the night! Whatever your situation is, have a happy Halloween, stay safe, have fun!







Hah! A figurine party. Oh boy, the loneliness.
I had a fricking Halloweenie.
1. I remained all night long at work, with no clientele at all
2. Mom forbids us to celebrate Halloween
3. “El Bando de Policia” law of Tijuana forbids the use of makeup, costumes and masks for any person 18 or older, therefore, if a cosplayer is seen in the street, it gets immediately arrested. Hope can not die when it is not even born.
4. The kids that DID use costumes were really sloppy and cheap.
5. A cosplay party held at house in the rich area of Tijuana seems to be filled up with otakus right now, some gamers, and perhaps some casual geeks. It was in benefit of the Mangaclub of Edgar Vera.
… i’ll get some beef ramen.
whoa I didn’t know such rigorous law existed in TJ.
Although I think that even if it is a double-edged sword for us it will keep a lot of criminals at bay.
Yes, because criminals love to wear costumes in gotham.. I mean, tijuana.
awesome guide nahu lollin
HAHAHAHA! This is great. I ended up just people watching, beer in hand downtown. And while I know the difference between a well crafted Gundam and a Power Rangers robot; calling them out in the group I was with was met with an audible “nerd alert” from my ‘friends’, bastards…
I ended up working til 9:30 on halloween anyways. by the time i got home, i was pooped, and ended up just playing fallout 3 until i passed out :p
