Subject: Wunderkind Makes Weapons Out of Cardboard

I'm a guy, I'm 15, and click on my homepage to see my AWESOME 360 cooling fan.

The guns are alright and stuff, but wrapping them in tape? Horrible idea...It makes them look disgusting...why not just use glue? bleugh

Seriously....someone get a hold of the guys who were going to make the movie for Halo....this kid saved them about 4 weeks of designing models for weapons and armor...

Other than that...yea...I'm kinda speechless...mostly because no words can really ever describe the amazing level of a 10 year old that I just witnessed...seriously...I wasn't scared of the youth of today, but now I'm freakin petrified....all it takes is a little more engineering and he has a working gun, once you add metal instead of cardboard....of course....I mean who wants to have "Killed by cardboard cutout" on their death certificate....

what that kid did out of cardboard was excellent. He's what some were between 13-and 16 he's having a good time doing it, don't rip into him.

Hail to the Victors! Reppin' that MAIZE n BLUE!!!
Perfect Grenade
Chill bro. Gotta get my bowl.

I love Halo a lot, but my god..

what a NERD!!!

If he spent time making them out of metal and looking all sweet, then I wouldn't have a problem. But making them out of cardboard? And just LOOK AT HIM! Lol.

Give that kid Recon armor NOW! He is 42000 times more creative than most of us here.

  • 07.10.2008 7:08 PM PDT

The kid has an amazing talent there, especially for his age. I think he should recieve recon for the work and time he put in on those and the armor. He definitly has a future in some sort of special effects work. My friend and I do lights, sound, and special effects work for our local high school drama club, so we know what kind of skill this kid would have to have to make all those out of cardboard, especially the reloading mechanisms. But on a more serious note, I would think that he could have found something better to do with his time. Halo is an amazing game, but that kind of obsessivness can't be healthy. Oh, and paint the armor pink, it would go with the frankly strange verbal re-enactments of the weapon noises, and the tape crinkling filled tea-bagging.

HURF DURF WAT A NERD LOLOLOLOLOL HUK HUK

...

I'm actually stoked at this kids creativity and drive to put so much detail into such a minamilist area of media. I can't believe people think it's ''sad'' - so, what, are movie and film designers sad for all those set pieces you see in the background to your favourite movies? What about the BR's in the Arms Race Halo live-action films, or the Brute Spike grenades? No, they aren't cardboard, but someone slaved away in a studio to make them. For the guys age, I'm impressed. Kudos to him.

That kid is pretty awesome. For every one bashing him, I can only assume you are either:
A) Jealous
or
B) Have too much time on your hands to spend your time online making silly comments like that.

Since I assume you're not jealous, I can only assume it's the latter. You kids need to get some life. A nice tall glass of it.

Small Community, Lots of Fun. We do Halo, Minecraft, and much more.

Making Halo legos is cool, but cardboard? Not as cool.

He needs to get a life.
wow.... kid needs a life

Come on guys. Don't say he needs to get a life. He's a gamer. He has tons of lives.

The nerd inside of us all.

No-one here can say with 100% honesty that they don't want to have created any of those weapons themselves; or to have improved on them.

WHAT bungie beeped the word F A G ?

  • 07.10.2008 7:23 PM PDT

I will play you. And my winning will ensue.

This kid deserves recon for his efforts. Seriously. If you get it for blowing up cores and dying by a core... then this takes the cake.

  • 07.10.2008 7:24 PM PDT

Great video. BR melee + air t-bag was awesome. Kid should make a Recon helmet. That Missle pod sure would scare the -blam!- out of my neighbors.
