The Land Of Nerds

Only took 12 years, but I finally hit the 100,000 gamerscore for #xbox. Kind of a nice feeling for a small success in itself. On to 200k! #xboxplayers #xboxstreamers #xboxone #xboxonex #xboxlive #gamerscore #xbox100kclub #xboxoneelitecontroller #microsoft #microsoftxbox #microsoftxboxone #gamer #gaming #games https://www.instagram.com/p/B9h2V5-DbTT/?igshid=1fwkmzh1jry0c

Happy Halloween from the Metro! Even a spartan can have a fear of the desolate tunnels. I wanted to post more pictures of my #cosplay, but didn't have time to do it. Wpuld like to thank @armor_factory gor a great helmet to top off the cosplay, just in time for #twitchcon2019. Hope you enjoy these few pictures. #twitchaffiliate #twitchstreamer #twitch #gaming #gamer #games #xboxone #xboxsteramer #microsoft #metro #metroexodus #metrogame #metrolastlight #metro2033 #metrocosplay #apocalypsecosplay #stalkercosplay #cosplayer #cosplaying #cosplayer #halloweencostume #halloween #halloweencosplay #happyhalloween #pumkin https://www.instagram.com/p/B4LknvJj9Ru/?igshid=whr014qcevjh

I'm hyped to say TACOPS_Gamingttv has joined the Respawn Creator program! #twitchaffiliate #twitchstreamer #gaming #twitch #respawn #respawngameon #respawncreator #gamer #games #xboxone #xboxstreamer #microsoft #streamer #computerstreamer #razer #razer #razerrespawn #twitchtv https://www.instagram.com/p/B3tT53hD9II/?igshid=1dzq5htf1l34o

With #twitchcon2019 out of the way, time to put a little more focus on the channel. @maverickactual and I have some plans to improve the stream and solidify a better direction for our motivation. We found a lot of information for improvement and potential to grow while we were at #Twitchcon. Here's to next year. #twitchstreamer #twitchaffiliate #twitchcon19 #twitchcon #gaming #gamer #games #xboxone #xboxsteramer #microsoft #twitchconsandiego #twitch #streaming #streamer https://www.instagram.com/p/B3lvxBaDPbt/?igshid=1rgfgeodtquqb

Twitchcon 2019 was a blast; between seeing friends and experiences that happened. It was a great way to get with some potential sponsors and meet successors of the business. Can't wait for next year. #twitchaffiliate #twitchstreamer #twitch #twitchcon2019 #twitchcon19 #twitchconsandiego #cosplayer #cosplay #cosplayarmor #cosplayer #cosplaying #metroexodus #metrogame #metrolastlight #metro2033 #metrocosplay #apocalypsecosplay #stalkercosplay #gaming #games #xboxone #xboxsteramer #microsoft #twitchconcosplay #twitchconparty #twitchconafterparty (at San Diego Convention Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3LQu9nD9a9/?igshid=1mo8zorlymnog

"This is no place to rest, stalker." Here it is! My #Metroranger #cosplay, done in time for #twitchcon2019, glad to see it all done. Last thing I'm adding is a strap to attach the journal to my leg while walking around. I wont post an update about it, except maybe on my story (follow for how that turns out!). This will be the last post before Twitchcon in San Diego. Glad to see it done, now it's onto my next project. Maybe a more in depth ranger? Still would like to try and do #DeadSpace, redo my #halopartan from #halocosplay, idk. I'll think about it. #twitch #twitchaffiliate #twitchstreamer #gaming #gamer #games #xboxone #xboxsteramer #microsoft #metro #metroexodus #metrogame #metrolastlight #metro2033 #metrocosplay #apocalypsecosplay #stalkercosplay #cosplayer #cosplaying #cosplayarmor #foamsmith #foamarmor https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ibE1HjNvi/?igshid=1no4gv0d6b6kc

Been hard at work, but finally done with the chest rig, pants and shirt, and the helmet came in from airsoftfactory. Working on the journal/map and guantlet. The window for construction is getting smaller and I only have a few things to finish. Transportation is gonna be lame fitting it all in a carryon. Cant wait to put it all together! #twitchaffiliate #twitchstreamer #twitch #twitchcon2019 #twitchcon19 #twitchconcosplay #cosplay #cosplayer #cosplayarmor #foamsmith #foamarmor #gaming #gamer #games #xboxone #xboxsteramer #microsoft #metro #metroexodus #metrogame #metrolastlight #metro2033 #metrocosplay #apocalypsecosplay #stalkercosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Nt_XCjA-9/?igshid=sellv7nrlbfx

Everything starts with a few crude cuts... Worked on the rough schematic on how to build some of the concepts and cut out the pieces. The sizes feel about right, so we'll see how these turn out in the next couple weeks. My chest rig still needs some more paint and possibly glue/quick seal to fill in the gaps. Also have to weather down the shirt and pants. So far, I think I'm on track for #twitchcon2019! #twitchaffiliate #twitchstreamer #dtqst #mvgfps #twitch #twitchcosplay #twitchcosplayer #cosplayer #cosplay #cosplayarmor #cosplaying #gaming #gamer #games #xboxone #xboxsteramer #metroexodus #metrogame #metrolastlight #metro2033 #metrocosplay #metro #apocalypsecosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/B1QJIHIDoZa/?igshid=1lvf8ljchsdr6

It aint perfect, but it's dang close. Now comes painting and working on the final pieces. Fading the clothes will be easy enough, but making the map and wrist gauntlet will be a little difficult, but for other (more practical) reasons. I'll be at Universal Studios next week, so probably no update. If anything. I'll finalize the blueprints of the other pieces.

Haven't posted in a couple weeks, was busy with other stuff. Here's the straps for the vest! Now that these are painted, I can sew on the snaps so I can attach them to the vest. This will make it easier for transportation when Twitchcon 2019 rolls around. I think the chest needs one more detail before painting! Next will be the wrist gauntlet and map. I have a plan for the helmet, don't worry... https://www.instagram.com/p/B0hKU1iDQnd/?igshid=18th6wv5xzsga

Re-worked the fitting of the vest (was a lot bigger/bulkier), attached the magazine holders w/ pocket, and finalized some buckles. Almost to painting! Just gotta iron out the fitting and strap holders. #metro #metroexodus #metrogame #metrolastlight #metro2033 #metrocosplay #gaming #gamer #cosplay #cosplayarmor #cosplayer #proparmor #twitchstreamer #twitchaffiliate #twitchcon2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz77_OXjEN0/?igshid=1v06260jna8u5

Weekend update: so far, so good I think. The magazine pockets don't look half bad, and the shape feels good. Still need to iron out the connection points as it doesn't fit right. Still need to build a possible objective/map board, leg guards, and whatever I can do with a helmet (I may buy a raw cast). #metroexodus #metro #metrolastlight #metrocosplay #metro2033 #metrogame #gaming #games #gamer #cosplay #cosplayarmor #cosplayer #twitchstreamer #twitchaffiliate #twitchstreamer #twitchcon2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzr5YzVDoif/?igshid=8y941j5vl91a

Main chest piece and "leather straps" cut out. Now I have to attach the two main pieces and add a tad more detailed parts before painting. The straps just need painted before being attached to the main chest piece. So far, not bad in a weekend's worth of work! Hopefully, all this will be done by September... #metro #metroexodus #metrocosplay #metrolastlight #metro2033 #cosplay #cosplayer #gaming #cosplayarmor #twitchstreamer #twitchaffiliate #apocalypsecosplay #twitchcon #twitchcon2019 #twitchcon19 #twitchconcosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/BzZbRU9DznK/?igshid=5qcvneiinbd3

Been adding parts from my #xboxoneelitecontroller to my #masterchiefxboxonecontroller as the parts break. Doesn't look too bad. #twitchaffiliate #twitchstreamer #gaming #xboxplayers #xboxone #xboxsteramer #microsoft #halo #unsc#masterchief #controller https://www.instagram.com/p/By1y5XPDRqv/?igshid=crs39nswawix
