HowTo Wear Your Halo Helmet
After reading of the MTV intern's plight to create a Master Chief costume earlier this week I remembered that some reader had sent me a picture showing a pal of his wearing the helmet from the Legendary version of the game on his head.
I had asked him to email me the details on how it was achieved and then never heard back. So I decided to do it myself... big mistake.

Making Your Own Halo Costume
Thanks a lot, guys. Now Billie Edington over at MTV's Multiplayer thinks we all have some sort of odd body paint fetish. Remember last week when I posted about her quest to build a Halo 3 costume? Remember when nearly half of you suggested she go the body paint route? Well, Billie does.
Fortunately, she ignored you and instead came up with a plan. The first step involved hollowing out a Special Edition Halo Helmet. Something, incidentally, one of our readers emailed was possible earlier this week. Now she just has to figure out how to see out of it.
Then she pieced together the rest of the armor, which she's broken down into nine distinct parts, by ordering from paintball and athletic gear companies. Next step, paint it all up and put it together.

"Handyman Costume" Looks Vaguely Familiar
We don't know exactly how lawsuits work. And the last time we checked, you couldn't patent a mustache. Lord knows members of the Kotaku staff have certainly tried. But this Handyman costume...just strikes us as more of a plumber type of attire.
But it all begs the question, who out there is dressing up as a game character for Halloween? We need to start planning this now, people. Well, we need to start planning this out vicariously. You need to start planning this out now.
Because laughing at our readers is always in season.

Help MTV's New Intern Become the Master Chief
Stephen Totilo, stationed in thriving NYC, had no problem landing a nearby college Intern. Billie Edington did her first post today on the site, asking readers to help her design and implement a Master Chief costume this Halloween.
She did some preliminary searching and only came up with a $22k or so replica suit of armor. So what she needs howto for creating her own suit of MIJOLNIR armor that doesn't involve blacksmithing or fiberglass work. Any suggestions? I'd say that empty beer cases are your friend, they're amazingly pliable and fun to empty.

Halo 3 Cat Helmets Set To Sell Out
On the left you will see Rufus. Rufus didn't want a replica Spartan helmet, so you might have him to thank if you run out to the store real quick and still find a preorder available for the Halo 3 Legendary Edition here in the states. A Microsoft spokesman told GamesIndustry.biz that while there are still quantities left for preorder, they are on course to be completely sold out by launch day next week. They've already sold out in the UK, so don't wait until they start showing up on eBay complete with pictures of very relieved felines. And don't worry about Rufus there. I'm dressing him up like Pinhead from Hellraiser as soon as I find my tiny hammer.Halo 3 Legendary Edition should sell out in US [GamesIndustry.biz]

The BlizzCon Costume Contest Winner
So it looks like McWhertor and I have finally found some cosplay we can agree on. The ever traveling McW snapped this photo a few nights ago at BlizzCon and lo and behold the gal in the costume was the big winner of the whole BlizzCon costume contest kittencaboodle. I can see why she won, it's really quite impressive. More »

The Littlest Chocobo
Busty Booth Babes vs homemade costumes aside, I think even Mr. Mc Whertor will have to agree that this is just about the cutest thing seen on the Comic Con floor. No doubt this is a store bought costume, but it doesn't take any points of the cuteness factor. Chocobo costume + baby=WIN![via GayGamer]

The Hottest Chun-Li in Ohio
Sure, CES is going full steam as I write this, but there were other conventions this weekend that were just as important. For instance, Ohayocon, the largest anime convention in Ohio! That's right, out of all the anime conventions in Ohio, I'm 75% sure this is the biggest one. I'm also willing to bet was the only place in Ohio this past weekend where you could find randomly hot Chun-Li cosplayer, complete with too-small thighs and authentic Asian heritage! Actually that's pretty rare at any anime convention. Generally the hottest girls end up being underage or guys in drag. Or possibly both. More »

The Playable Pac-Man Costume
There's always a lot of banter about the best this and the best that, but it's rare that something actually fits the description, especially in the realm of gaming oneupmanship. Well, it's going to be awhile before anyone topples rluzinski from his throne for best homemade game-themed Halloween costume. More »

Darkwatch Costume
California Costume Collections, makers of crappy generic costumes, have come out with a new costume line based on the vampire meets western shooter Darkwatch. Trolling the internet, the only one I could find was of Jerichp Cross. Not too bad until you read the fine print and find out that the costume doesn't come with the kneepads, gloves or GUNS. What the hell. How can they sell this costume without the guns? So basically it's a shitting pleather trenchcoat and hat. You can buy the pads, gloves and gun seperately, but that's just a scam.

Duct Tape Freeman for the Hallowin
As a lead-in to my own, possibly game-related Halloween costume, I proffer this pretty decent Gordon Freeman and crab, constructed primarily of cardboard and duct tape. Looks pretty good for tape and boxes, huh? More »

The MAME Arcade Cabinet Costume To Make Fun Of
Still looking for that Halloween costume? Fret not, it's still way early. Big brother site Gizmodo points to this MAME cabinet costume. Wear this Super Snake (yes, we geddit) to parties, have strangers jerk your joystick, mash your buttons and extinguish cigarettes on the cabinet's paneling—just like the real thing. It's available at Amazon, one size fits all. Though, the online retailer points out that the "White and pants no included." Thank goodness. Look at that guy's mock turtleneck! *shudder* More »
