halo_xbox_360_casemod

I spotted this great Halo-inspired Xbox 360 casemod over on deviantART this morning. Modder EvilDan created this scene of Master Chief and an energy sword-wielding Covenant Elite on the top (or side – depending on how you look at it) of a modded 360 for a friend. Lucky friend.

haloclayfig2

The many enemies and races of the Halo universe are interesting enough in their own right, but these particular examples are way beyond the norm. Halo fan and clay genius Antithesis doesn’t create Halo figures. This is art.

my big halo story of the week

Master Chief Toilet Seat

Well, I managed to make it through the entire launch week without a single post about Halo 3. Then eBay had to ruin it all for me. I’ve finally managed to find a Halo-related story that wasn’t redundant with the mountain of coverage that’s been out there. So without further ado, I present the Master…

If you’re looking for a serious conversation piece, check out this 7-foot tall statue of Halo’s Master Chief that someone has for sale over on eBay.

I guess Microsoft made a very limited number of these to promote Halo 2 when it came out. Now you can own your very own.
