Phillip Reece has a wide range on interests, two of which include the Call of Duty franchise and the always enthralling translation of hexadecimal digits. Imagine his surprise when the two came together to create a romantic little easter egg in the recent spoiler-ridden Modern Warfare 2 trailer. After recognizing the series of letters and numbers that make a brief appearance in the video at the seven second mark as hex code, he huddled up in his bathroom A Christmas Story-style until he decoded the secret message. He finally determined that it reads “RaymeLovesSarah” which is an apparent reference to the budding relationship between Infinity Ward engineer Rayme Vinson and his soon-to-be wife Sarah Mantia. Just know that while you’re celebrating the release of the latest first-person shooter, Rayme and Sarah are celebrating a release of different sorts, if you know what I mean.

At an elementary school level paper-mâché is simply a fancy way of making the ultimate spit wad. After reaching an age less obsessed with sticky spheres of pleasure, it transcends into an art form perfect for creating custom keepsakes on a much grander scale. Armed with little more than a small container of glue and large amount of paper, papercraft extraordinaire origamiwolf spent 20 hours carefully crafting himself a lustrous paper-mâché Master Chief helmet. In an effort to give you a simplified description of the process behind making the Halo-themed headgear, he started with something wet and finished with something hard. Story of my life I tell you.

I carelessly throw my copious amounts of gaming accessories haphazardly in a disorderly pile, constructing a chaotic orgy of tangled cords, plastic peripherals, and old discarded game cases. J. Jamme finds himself a bit more organized though which is clearly reflected in his latest chic creation. A master at merging old French furniture with contemporary inspiration, he created what he has dubbed the MarioBox. It contains three compartments (one for GameCubes and joysticks, one for cables, and one for games and memory cards, pictures of which are located after the jump) and when closed, it also moonlights as a chair complete with comfy padding. There’s nothing I love more than a good box! But I’m guessing you already knew that.

Gamer Travels Back In Time To Warn Herself Not To Play Darkest of Days
Gamer Angela Boseman had just returned home from her local big box retailer with a copy of 8monkey Lab’s Darkest of Days with the hopes of enjoying a little first-person shooter fun. Normally she would check the reviews or play the demo, but this time she just picked up the title on a whim. She had gotten a message from a random stranger on Xbox Live telling her to check it out since it was “the closest thing to ‘Quantum Leap: The Video Game’ she’d ever get to play”. Her purchasing decision was clouded by a need for a good FPS fix and an amorous desire dating back to her teen years for Scott Bakula.
As she pulled the jewel case from the shopping bag and prepared to rip away its plastic wrapping with her teeth, the hair on the back of her neck suddenly stood on end. The air felt unusually dry and electrified, like the moment before a lightning strike. She became aware of a snapping, tearing sound, growing ever louder, seemingly coming from nowhere and everywhere at once. The smell of ozone hung in the air. Suddenly, with a flash of light and low resounding boom that she felt more than actually heard, a shimmering sphere appeared in the middle of her living room. It was glassy and perfect, like the impossibly still surface of a cold, clear lake. She was frozen in awe and shock, and totally unprepared for what came next. A figure emerged from the sphere.
“Angela!” it called to her, in a voice that was strangely familiar. “I have come from the future with a grave warning: Do not, under any circumstances, play Darkest of Days!”
