With Halloween in the air, folks at Irrational HQ were excited to show their outfits during our annual Halloween party, the one day where we can come to work dressed to the nines and not have to worry about dress codes. We had some amazing costumes, with people in costumes as their favorite game characters, a nemesis for our favorite Doctor, and even a certain powdered avenger. Here’s a glimpse of the festivities.
Gotta catch ‘em all!
I could go for some toast.
Ready for the ball.
Producer Joe Fielder approves of Lead Programmer John Abercrombie’s Joe Fielder costume. The real question is: Which is which?
A Silence for the good Doctor.
This is just a taste of what to expect – you can see the full Irrational Games Halloween 2011 gallery on our Flickr feed here.

^-^ Thank you! I had fun impersonating Marie Antoinette all day – there was much eating of tasty treats and throwing myself onto couches in dramatic fashion.

I’ve been waiting for these pics! The costumes were even better than I expected!
Such a variety. Powdered Toast Man easily gets a “We’re not worthy!” bow from me. (Who is the mystery man, anyway?) This is from a guy who celebrated Yak Shaving Day once. LOL. But we’ve got Dr Who, Miyazaki, Professor Layton, Pokemon, Donnie Darko, X-men, etc.
The Joe Fielder costume also deserves an honorable mention. But it makes me wonder why nobody came dressed up as Ken. Couldn’t anybody scare up one of those giant Mardi Gras heads? LOL!

Powdered Toast Man upon display of his costume actually rolled out from behind a door way and into Powdered Toast Man pose. Truly it was costume presentation to be reckoned with.

I wish words like “epic” weren’t so overused and misused, because that entrance sounds truly epic. LOL. How the hell did the pillowcase stay on during that maneuver??? (And is that…..Ken under that pillowcase?)
I imagine your various dramatic couch dives were not to missed either, Sarah! Great job all around. ^_^

Since I can’t edit, let me add a super nerdy reference that only other action figure geeks will get: Only Powdered Toast Man could make a T-crotch look good!
And I’ll also add kudos to our very own “Petite Antoinette”. LOL

What’s wrong with that Powdered Toast dude?
borrego | November 2, 2011 9:57 pm
Sarah, my wife REALLY likes your Marie Antoinette! 🙂 She’s always wanted to dress up as her. You did a great job!
joemommak1200 | November 4, 2011 7:37 am
POWDERED TOAST MAAAANNNNN!!!!!!I have to admit,I shure would enjoy “shaven yak day” more with some powdered toast!

Those are very cool pictures! Specially the alien costume, looks very real, congrats to the person who did it! Although my affection for Fringe might be affecting my judgement just a bit :).

Can’t go wrong with a Doctor Who alien!
