The only historical equivalents I can think of for "grown adults dress up in silly elaborate costumes and run around pretending to shoot lasers at each other and take each other captive and rescue each other" are Halloween and ComiCon. Or possibly some adventurous marriages, to which I say "more power to you!"
Oh wait, that's "historical equivalent to playing Bride of Chaotica! on the holodeck." I got nothin' for the quote. "Author, Author," I guess?
