You are about to witness what is quite possibly the dorkiest video you will ever see. A youngster with an obvious and almost sickening love for Halo has taken it upon himself to craft a MJOLNIR suit and a full arsenal out of what appears to be cardboard, styrofoam, and lots of tape. Halo Kid is where it’s at!

Halo Kid actually does a decent job of fully mimicking the movements from the Halo games, and that makes this video all the better.  The weapons themselves, though cardboard, look the part and are better than anything I would ever make… partially because I would never try to make them.

Key moments to watch out for are the close-up on geek teeth near the end of the video, as well as the apparent teabagging at the 36-second mark. I’m not sure that kid even understands what he just did.

I must say that I am actually impressed with the removable clips in the guns, and he also does some killer sound effects. Speaking of sound effects, though, what is the deal with the robot noise in the background? Is this video *gasp* from the future?!  Is he communicating with aliens?!  WHAT’S GOING ON?!

In closing, I must admit that I was probably just as dorky when I was twelve… okay, maybe not quite that dorky, but I’m sure it was bad. Good thing YouTube didn’t exist back then. Technology’s a bitch sometimes.

You have great creativity and the ability to translate that into something tangible–a rare trait indeed! You have to paint your MJOLNIR Marine Green! Any other color would be a dis-service to your craft! RSS feed for comments on this post.
