Master Chief Goes Victorian with this Halo Steampunk Helmet

June 22, 2010 by 10 Comments

Steampunk Halo Helmet

There is something inexplicable about the innate allurement of modern utilitarian objects adorned with Victorian design elements. The last time we saw this mechanical “steampunk” style was on an Xbox 360 controller, and now, thanks to Christophe, we have the pleasure of seeing something Halo-related redesigned in the same popular trend. A project that, from visualization to fruition, spanned almost two months, this Halo steampunk helmet was more than worth both the time and effort. Christophe used plumbing PVC pipe and four layers of acrylic and spray paint as the tangible materials, but he says the recurring theme was failure and then numerous retries until something worked. Thankfully he stuck with it though because I’m pretty sure Master Chief could go diving in this thing. And needless to say, that will definitely come in handy when I meet him.

A Noble Set of Incredible Halo Clay Figures

Halo Clay Figures

The last time we devoured the awesomeness that is the continually growing collection of miniature, Halo-themed clay figures, many of you were quick to demand more Noble Team. Not being one to disappoint, Antithesis decided to step up his game and produce just that. His most recent batch (which includes a superbly sculpted Carter-A259 and Emile-A239 along with a custom VI-ETS Security Guard Spartan and Sangheili Exemplar) is sure to leave your loins aching for more Halo: Reach. Unfortunately that is one itch that won’t get scratched until September so until then, I’m hoping the following pictures will get you through. Grab a sock, an apple pie, or your Mjolnir Mark VI helmet, and hit the jump. Just don’t hit it too hard. That poor hand needs a break every now and again you know.

The $500 Cardboard Game Boy

The $500 Cardboard Game Boy

If I’m going to pay $500 for a handheld video game device, it better be gold and encrusted with diamonds or have a penis that doubles as a joystick. It appears born2draw has different expectations than I do though because her version stands 5’4″ and is made solely of corrugated fiberboard. Featuring pushable buttons and a power button that slides up and down, this cardboard Game Boy will cost you a very pretty $500 but thankfully comes equipped to do absolutely nothing. I’d bitch, but I kinda sorta have a thing for big packages.

No Gods, No Kings, Only BioShock My Little Ponies

BioShock Big Daddy My Little Pony

Katrina has a boyfriend who, since the first day he laid eyes upon her, has wanted nothing other than to bring a constant state of rapture to her life. His latest attempt to make her happy involved a rather interesting assortment of odds and ends. Armed with a ping pong ball, Apoxie Sculpt, wire, and spare My Little Pony, he molded, chiseled, and painted until he was left with something he dubbed Mini Mr. Bubbles. His BioShock-themed creation, a custom plastic pony made to look like a Bouncer, earned him the title of Super Awesome Boyfriend. She’s also started calling him Big Daddy, but that’s a completely different story!

The Grilltendo: Now You’re Grilling with Power!

June 12, 2010 by 13 Comments

Nintendo GrillLet’s say you and your roommate have the exact same grill. From the style to the brand to the model to the color, discernible differences equal zero. When one person is a vehement vegan and the other is content as a carnivore though, telling the two cooking apparatuses apart is more than mandatory. Luckily Greg, who recently found himself in this very situation, found a unique and fun solution. He simply transformed his grill into a Super Mario Bros. mushroom! Proving his crafty prowess, Greg completed his culinary creation with nothing more than paint, tape, and a paper plate he crafted into a stencil. And before you ask, yes, I’m able to appreciate a video game-themed vegan grill. The fact that I can’t go a single day without a giant piece of meat in my mouth is entirely irrelevant.
