Blizzcon 2013 The guy with no real life R.I.P. Jarod Nandin

How do you kill that which has no life? COVID apparently... I am saddened to hear he has passed.
I did not know him but will allways fondly remember his cosplay.
Jarod Nandin 1981 - 2021 May he rest in peace.

The way he wheels it over, then his facial expression and body language immediately changes when he enters the character, is actually priceless.

[opo]

Who even remembers the winner of that year's competition? Chicks in chainmail bikinis are a dime a dozen. *THIS* guy's cosplay is timeless.

The in-game funeral for this guy broke my heart. R.I.P :(

“They say he’s actually able to kill admins”

[camilogastonl.]

You have done well, algorithm. 7 years late, but better than never.

[johnmackenzie]

It's funny that although he died young, he is forever immortalized through this one particular moment. Most of us will die and be forgotten, this man will always be remembered for this.

[Dawg]

Absolutely incredible. Even the shirt swipe. This man is a legend.

[utopianlink]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how ON POINT those poses were?!?

[smthgames]

The 300 dudes in the audience who looked like him weren't having fun...

[MariaHeredia-dwid]

As a hardcore South Park fan since ‘98 this man is a legend; didn’t know he passed.RiP YA LEGEND!

[CoffeeSuccubus]

That dramatic glasses push

"You meased with the main character, noob..."

[JerBuster]

This is quite possibly the greatest cosplay ever.

[Evman]

“No monitor” you say? “What is he playing?” you ask. The audience my friend; he’s playing the audience.

Such a shame he died and had to go, look at everyones face in that crowd.. nothing but smiles and laughter. Thank you Jared Lee Nandin. Rest in peace. You made everyones day just that little bit better, thats priceless. You could also see the cheer joy on his face too.. moments like that, there are just no words. Thank you so much. So so much. Endlessly so many thanks, I even watch this in 2023, and STILL get joy from it. I think I always will. Its impossible not to enjoy this throughout my own life time.

[beepadas]

a testament to how cosplay has always been about the fun and creativity, no matter your craftsmanship level. I never forget Jarod. It's been 10 years since I started cosplay and he's one of the few I revisited every few months cause I loved how simple, fun and awesome this moment was.


Rest in Peace, Jarod Nandin. You're never going to be forgotten! (even by complete strangers like me)

The fact he isn't bald but shaved his head just for this makes him a legend.

[guardianjuan]

this are the moments the internet was created for, on that day... a legend was born

[theseeker]

so no one notice how the glass adjustment was perfectly aligned with the song?

[i_do_my_thing]

RIP you can see the little smile he has at the end, it’s so cute and endearing 😢

“How do you kill that which has no life...”

The single best line ever used on a gamer
