Hawty McBloggy Invites You to Play

When you think of Super Mario Brothers, do you immediately get an image of a bloody princess being brutally impaled by a sadistically violent piranha plant? Rest assured you and your twisted mind are not alone.

An Etsy seller by the name of ceefurn has created a Mario-themed oil on canvas piece of art that appeals to our darker side. Mario is absolutely bug eyed in disbelief at the sight of his beloved Princess with a Pirahna Plant tendril piercing straight through her head. With her crown resting at a precarious angle, bright red blood drips through her hair as the callous Pirahna Plant looks on with a bloody and evil grin. If this is the Super Mario Brothers you have always envisioned, this nightmarish 38″x36″ piece will run you a very pretty $250. I guess the princess is now in the castle in the sky.

A flickr user by the name of joshuadamon has altered some Halo 3 screenshots to show his “perspective of the Halo universe”. What a beautiful perspective it is. His entire gallery is worth viewing, but some shots are definitely more spectacular than others. As someone who appreciates the finer aspects of Halo 3 screenshots, I can assure you the time spent browsing his gallery is definitely worth it.

You may think you have the best desktop image ever, but you would be mistaken because I actually have the best desktop image ever. ZZoMBiE13, the generous and talented artist behind Another Halo Comic Strip, made me a custom wallpaper patterned after my Spartan.

While you can’t have something nearly as awesome as mine, you can still have a bad ass Halo-themed wallpaper. Here are ten different designs that struck my fancy, perhaps they will strike yours as well.

Frank O’Connor of Bungie Studios has routinely treated us to his unique and often humorous depictions of “Mister Chief” (his personal version of our favorite Spartan superhero) for the past handful of years. What started on 01.16.04 in Frankie’s first Weekly Update (back when Halo 2 was still a tightly guarded secret) has since turned into something loyal Bungie readers look forward to every Friday. The first image of Mister Chief had him wielding a light saber because, as Frankie said, “guns are hard to draw”.

Four years later brings us Mister Chief still sans weapon but this time on a different medium. Just once Frankie lovingly painted our beloved Mister Chief on the more tangible form of canvas. This original painting recently fetched an astounding $6,100.00 on eBay, the proceeds of which will go to the Brian Morden Foundation to help fund Ewing’s Sarcoma and childhood cancer research (you can read more about Brian, who was a passionate Halo fan but more importantly an amazing person, here). This canvas painting was officially titled “Here Lies the Last Sip of the Bourgeoisie Malaise Consommé”.

Cortana is one of my favorite characters in the Halo video games. Not only do I enjoy her wry sense of humor but I love the subtleties of her relationship with the Chief. As much as I adore her, I am a bit on the fence about this Cortana print. Drawn and painted digitally by the Popular Erotic Pin-Up Artist REIQ, I’m just not sure it captures a side of Cortana that actually exists. I simply don’t see her striking this pose or being playful in this sexy of a way. How much does it matter if it is accurate or not when there are large boobs on display anyways?

Apparently this artist specializes in subjects who “defy gravity with their immense breasts, impossible poses and gigantic weaponry.” I would guess her gigantic weaponry is her intelligence as I don’t see anything else pictured.

As a Halo fan, do you like this poster? And why or why not?

First she adorned an animated Christmas tree. Now this retro video game character is also on the walls of your favorite gaming room. A crafty Etsy seller by the name of pixelparty recycled an old dresser that unfortunately (and fortunately) didn’t survive moving into Blinky, the aggressive red ghost that is forever on the heels of Pac-Man.

Purchase here : Pixelparty’s Etsy Shop
Cost : $30
Note : Only the red one is available at this time.

Blinky is a 7″ red square that is coated with clear glossy epoxy, making her irresistibly shiny. A hole cut into her back makes her mountable and absolutely perfect for the walls of your gaming room. The seller notes that she will have packages of all four ghosts available starting in January for $100. I just may have to sit tight until then.
