8-bit Gary and real Gary compete for our affection

Kiel Johnson and Klai Brown built this 8-bit costume for a Toshiba ad. Made of bits of high density foam glued together, the wearable, pixelated version of Gary looks surprisingly like the actual Gary, though possibly a bit handsomer (in our opinion). Hit up the source for a lot more photos of the process of Gary's construction. Also hit up the coverage link for videos of the Garys in action.

how cute

[flett Posted Jul 5th 2010 5:20PM]

@Gutsy Gibbons 64-bit still looks nicer tho. or 128

[trevoreon Posted Jul 5th 2010 7:43PM]

@flett Right, because it would've been cuter and more charming if we could see his polygon count.

[hellosven Posted Jul 6th 2010 12:38AM]

@Gutsy Gibbons
i wonder how far you need to be until they become indistinguishable

[deliteguy Posted Jul 5th 2010 4:36PM]

Why is he holding hands with a lego sculpture? still neat though

[d0mth0ma5 Posted Jul 5th 2010 4:39PM]

@deliteguy It's Gary and his 8-bit soul.

[neillien Posted Jul 5th 2010 4:52PM]

@deliteguy That's not a sculpture...that's the sickest costume ever. The geek in me actually squealed when I saw it...

[BHFoster Posted Jul 5th 2010 5:12PM]

@deliteguy

[NeatOman Posted Jul 5th 2010 5:15PM]

Wonder how he'll sound like :/

[reallynotnick Posted Jul 5th 2010 5:22PM]

8-bit Gary has better posture but he seems to have warts all over his arms and a very wrinkly shirt.

[LloydChiro Posted Jul 5th 2010 9:02PM]

Is this the Gamers answer to "Furries"? They are "Bitties"? I am not judging :P
