When you think about romantic marriage proposals, the word “binary” might not cross your mind. For the right person however, binary language means love (or <3). Think I’m crazy? A guy wearing a Bender mask made a video and proposed to his girlfriend entirely in binary code. That’s about three minutes of reciting 0′s and 1′s.

In case you wondered, the girl said yes. From the bride to be:

My boyfriend told me I had to close my laptop for a couple minutes, then when I logged back on this was posted to my facebook wall. He sat across the room as I transcribed and then decoded it. After about a half hour I found out it says, “Rachel, you are awesome. Will you marry me?” I said yes, of course.

Check out the proposal after the break.

New superhero movies mean new costumes, and since The Avengers has a whole assortment of heroes, it means lots of new costumes. Costume Craze just announced the wide selection of heroes they’re bringing to life for you to wear starting this summer. They’ve got designs from the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man and The Avengers. You can be The Hulk, Hawkeye, Spidey, Loki, the Black Widow, and many more for adults and kids. You’ll be able to pre-order these soon, and they will ship in the summer.

Check out photos of the new costumes after the break.

Take an old pink dress, add lots of time and yarn, and you get a very pretty Zelda costume for baby! This one of a kind creation was sewn and crocheted (like everything seems to be these days), and I wish it was available in adult sizes.

Malaysia’s largest anime event, Comic Fiesta, brings the cosplayers out in force. They don’t kid around either as you an see from the awesome Daken above. Shane of Unlimited Otaku Works captured many of them on film.

You know how you have days when you want to clip on a tail and prance on rainbows? This unicorn mask is made for those days. It’s also suitable for a last minute costume to wear when the Google Street View car drives by.

Who knew that crocheted costumes are all the rage? I see more and more patterns and finished costumes available. This Wolverine costume pattern features the softest adamantium claws you’ll ever see. As you can imagine, this look works best on little ones and this pattern will fit sizes 2T-3T.

Babies. Animals. Kids. These are some of the cutest things in our world. When you mix costumes into the mix, the result is usually precious. Who can resist miniature capes or tiny pet hats? No one with feelings. If none of these images make you say “D’awww,” you should probably get your heart checked to make sure it’s not two sizes too small.

Warning: extreme levels of darling after the break.
