Guy in Spartan suit wins $2,000

Halloween has come and gone, and now it's time for the results of costume contests to be posted all over the web. Pictured above is the winner of a $1,000 costume contest at a posh night club -- creatively named, the Posh Nite Club -- in Akron, Ohio. His homemade Mjolnir armor -- God help you if you pronounce the "j" -- was complemented by a needler. Looks suspiciously like the one on eBay a few months back. His creation won him 1,000 smackers (he won another $1,000 the next night with a Predator costume). The best part is that his winnings won him the adoration of all the ladies present. He even got one to wear his helmet. See the picture after the break.

So, um, do you like videogames?

2. Holy crap, good show! You would think that no one in the place would be familiar with, nor appreciate, what he was dressed as. Pretty impressive. Even more impressive is his friend's...uh...never mind.

But it's also funny that you -still- don't see the guy's -face- in either picture ;)
