Life Size Real Energy Sword

Everybody loves Halo’s energy sword. Well, almost everybody. I personally have a love/hate relationship with it. I pick it up and for some reason it instantly loses 99% of its effectiveness. I don’t think this energy sword would let me down though.

Marshmallow Assault Rifle

If you see someone wielding this marshmallow assault rifle, you should look for cover. If you see someone dual wielding these bad boys, I recommend immediate retreat. The bottom barrel shoots mini marshmallows (the mini marshmallow magazine holds 12 of those confectionery treats) but you should be more worried about the top barrel. That sucker pumps out regular sized marshmallows. Oh yes, I am talking about the big ones. Luckily for you the reload time is a bit longer since it can only hold one at a time.

So why am I talking about this sweet weapon? (See what I did there? I said sweet when its ammunition is marshmallows. I am stunned by my brilliance sometimes.) ThinkGeek currently has this weapon of mass sugary destruction on sale for $14.99 (it originally goes for $39.99). Assuming I don’t buy the rest of their stock, you should head over and snag a few. Think of it this way, at least you will have some snacks on hand mid battle when you get the munchies. And I really have no idea what this marshmallow assault rifle has to do with video games. I’m just excited to score a headshot in real life. Actually I’m gonna go for the mouth shot instead.

Top 10 Halo 3 Sticks

This video is a great compilation of the top 10 Halo 3 sticks out of various user submitted game clips. I didn’t care for the music but you don’t need audio to enjoy it anyways. There are some absolutely amazing sticks and it’s just awesome having them all brought together in one video. It runs six and a half minutes and is entertaining every second through. Enjoy!

Fret the Faceplates, It’s Time to Skin

I’ve been disappointed in the lack of quality Guitar Hero III faceplates. One of features they heavily promoted was the customization of the guitars with new interchangeable faceplates except there are only a handful of designs that are easily accessible, none of which are particularly attractive. I do believe it is time to move onto skins as a way to personalize your instrument of choice. These are my favorite Guitar Hero III skins, some of which are girly, some of which are masculine, most of which are nestled happily in between.

Note : Nothing says rock star quite like screaming red, and the simplicity of the modern design is also quite appealing.
