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? Eliza Gauger

Gordon Freeman Costume [Aeropause]

The Valve store is now selling Half-Life 2 style stuffed headcrabs for only $24.95. That, dear readers, is a steal of a deal. Manufactured at the quarter-scale size, these lil' headcrabs won't fit your oversized noggin, but might fit your little cat or handbag dog (or your infant offspring!).

Please, I beg of you, send in photos of your children and/or pets sporting plush headcrabs as soon as is humanly possible.

Thanks for the heads up, Alex!
