Master Chief and Cortana, Kirby Style

VG Cats recently posted the cutest comic that plays dress up with everybody’s favorite spherical creature Kirby. Out of the 100 impersonations of various video game characters, of course my favorites were Cortana and Master Chief.

Bioshock’s Big Daddy ran a very close second (#100). Go check out the full strip and if you can’t recognize one of them at first glance, don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone you had to use the handy reference guide at the bottom. n00b.

Party Like It’s Your Birthday

October 2007 was an awesome era for Halo 3-themed faceplates. Early that month we saw three different themes, Master Chief in gold, Legendary in copper, and Covenant in blue. The latter part of the month brought us a classic green Finish the Fight plate along with a brightly colored Prophet of Regret offering. All of them were creative, unique, and more than visually appealing. Then along came November with no Halo-themed faceplates. I shed many a tears. December also hurt with the gaping void of my favorite seven foot tall Spartan. By the time January arrived, I was hardened to the pain and only felt slightly bitter. With one cursory glance this latest faceplate manages to erase the pain and suffering from the last four Halo-free faceplate months.

This Xbox 360 faceplate will appeal to the vast majority of Master Chief fans with its classic Halo green coloring, the simple Halo 3 logo, and the adorable little Grunt adorning the power button. And think about it this way too, with each faceplate made with a different character we get a step closer to a Cortana one. Because you know it’s coming. After we are done celebrating the Grunt birthday of course.

UPDATE : This item sold for US $43.00.

Mario Paint – Halo Theme

When I am at risk of dying from boredom, one of my favorite things to do is watch Mario Paint videos on YouTube. It’s a guilty little pleasure that I find oddly relaxing. The Halo Theme song doesn’t translate all that well into Mario Paint but it’s still interesting hearing and watching the stripped down version of the song. Enjoy!

Halo 3 Update Response : Mutual Beat Downs

I love scouring the wastelands of YouTube for entertaining Halo 3 videos. Sometimes you will find a spectacular montage or a hilarious machinima buried amongst the numerous “OMG BEST DBL K1LL W/ROCKETZ EVAR” clips. This video, featuring a young man discussing his views on the recent Halo 3 update (in particular the changes made to melee contests), is truly a gem. While it runs an unbelievably long ten minutes, I actually watched the entire thing because I just couldn’t stop laughing. Language is clean, there is no nudity (you will understand why I say that after you watch it), and it is simply beyond hilarious. The laughs start rolling around two or three minutes in so hang in there for that long and you will be rewarded. Enjoy!
