Pac-Can

Canstruction is a cleverly named design competition where architects, engineers, and students team up to see who can create the biggest, most impressive sculpture comprised solely of unopened cans of food. The results are not only mindblowingly awesome but the entire event is also charitable in nature as all the canned food is donated at the competition’s conclusion to local food banks to aid in the ongoing fight against hunger. This year saw some amazing Pac-Man themed entries, one of which involved the gravity-defying consumption of a blue ghost (a picture of which is waiting for you after the jump). That’s neat and all, but does anybody else smell tuna? Oh wait, I just realized I haven’t showered yet today. My bad!

Friday Caption Fun, Round 70

Halo 3 ScreenshotMany of you have fallen victim to the latest video game bug often referred to as MW2 but if you find yourself still free of its grasp, perhaps this weekend’s Halo 3 double EXP  offering will appeal to you. It’s called Team Control and it basically offers up all the gametypes you typically veto in one handy playlist. Tempting, right? While you weigh your choices, let’s go over last week’s entertaining responses and then we can caption another screenshot!

  • “GET YOUR OWN TAUNTAUN!” (Pete Cooper)
  • “Dude…NO ONE is going to believe that you thought it was a Brute.” (mendicantbias00)
  • “Puma – 1, Zebra – 0″ (rowboat 000)
  • “Planting the Magnum on the body was easy; the hard part was making it look like suicide…” (Tactful)
  • “Having finally beat the dead horse until it disintegrated, Halo speculators moved on to a dead zebra.” (General Vagueness)
  • “Early in Foe Hammer’s career, she wasn’t always as skillful in delivering Warthogs to the front line.” (petetheduck)
  • “Is this zebra related to Dare? Just look at the size of its jaw!!” (cardo)
  • “Nope, this one doesn’t have any candy either. I’m beginning to think Romeo was lying to us…” (Absolute Edge)

Twitter T&A Thursday: Video Game Fortunes

Twitter T&A is where I ask your T(houghts) about various video game-related topics and you give me your A(nswers), all via Twitter. Sometimes serious, sometimes silly, they’re all 140 characters or less. You know what they say, less is more. Or something like that.

The Lighthouse

While typically used to assist in sea and aerial navigation, lighthouses sometimes find themselves being used for other purposes as well. This Halo 3 machinima shows one such example. Featuring higher than average voice acting coupled with an original score, you’ll want to go ahead and push play as this video is definitely worth approximately two minutes of your time. You may want to turn up your volume though. It seems to run soft by default.
