1. He forgot the best weapon in the Halo universe-- plasma grenades.

2. Putting your weapons on mom and dad's pool table is tacky. I like it.

3. This kid is going to be a hit when he goes to Cosplay conventions.

I'm impressed with his crafting ability, but I seriously couldn't get over the sound of all the packing tape crinking everytime he moved.

He probably used more packing tape on those props, than there is in the entire warehouse I work at.

My son absolutely loves this. He laughed when the boy was doing the glitchy up and down movements. I guess you can make master chief do silly things.

I found this impressive. I mean kids today dont have the attention span to do anything productive for more than 10 minutes. Making replicas at his age may seem stupid but hell i couldnt of done it. I would have difficulty now. He is probably going to grow up to be an badass engineer but i guess that wont stop the kids at school from beating up on him, its unfortunate.

That's pretty badass even if it is geeky as hell.

This is actually really impressive!
Up vote for teabagging the floor!
imaginary down vote for spending all of his time making weapons

Yes, those "glitchy up and down movements" would be the teabagging of your recently dispatched opponent...something every small child should know

My favorite part is his compulsion to mimic the game's animations of reloading the weapons. Of course his sound effects are great too Someone should add happy to this because it makes me happy to see a kid enjoying something and taking pride in his work.

edit: He forgot the sniper rifle!

Could everybody please find his original video and vote for neon pink? Thanks.

This kind of creativeness and ingenuity should not go unrecognized,
Upvote!

He just needs a good set of paints to put the final touches on the cardboard.

I picture some bully showing up and destroying all his cool stuff, only for the kid to return the next day... with a real gun to blow that bully away.

I wonder if he sleeps in it.

Does this not strike anyone as a tad... obsessive? I mean, it's one thing to make a costume for Halloween or some short film you plan on shooting. This kid seems to take it waaaay beyond that though, right down to mimicking glitching character models.

EDIT: I wonder exactly what was so offensive about my post that caused someone to downvote it?

^It's definitely obsessive, but I don't find such an obsession to be problematic. If you're obsession results in your designing and creating a bevy of complex, quality stuff, it could easily lead to a lifetime career in creating cool shit.

Remember, Thomas Edison's middle name was Alva.

*cute

Invocations (cute) cannot be called by escape421521 because escape421521 is not privileged - sorry.

I was looking at his other videos. Man his parents have a nice house! If I had the resources this kid did when I was growing up.. I'd be able to make crazy cardboard weapons too! lol

Probably.

HAHAHA! His YT name is "fartbuttface"!

It has been brought to my attention what "teabagging" is. My little fella wouldn't know what the hell that meant. Yet

He's still playing w/ the sound off for years to come!

i bet this kid gets his lunch money taken every day.

sure he's happy now, but just wait till he goes out in the rain with those

His most impressive creation is the blue and yellow Warthog on the floor.

Oh so true... about 4 years ago I made a nice Hyrulian shield for my son's Windwaker Link costume for Halloween. I sort of laminated it with package tape so it would last a few days. He loved it. It lasted for months until he left it out in the yard one rainy night.

someone please add the game's sounds for the weapons!

Yeah, that was what struck me the most about this, not only has he gone to the effort of reproducing the bulk of he available weapons, he has the postures, poses, and animations down well enough that he could probably be a stand-in for the mo-cap actor.

That level of obsession with detail would serve him well in the game industry. When he gets older, I think he should submit this with his resume when he applies to work for Bungie.

Otherwise, this just might come in handy for his insanity plea...should he need one, of course.

Hmm, he seems more like a hands-on type of person to me. I worked in games for years and even the artists complain that they don't get enough chances to do "real" art (real as opposed to virtual art). Mostly you sit in front of a computer all day long, regardless of whether you're a programmer, designer, or artist. He seems more suited for movie-making--set and costume design--where both the attention to detail and hands-on know-how will serve him well. I'd see him easily fitting in at say Weta Workshop or Lucasfilm.

I don't think it was offensive as much as it was just stupid to imply that there's something wrong with a kid with a wild imagination. What I wouldn't give to still see the world through my childhood eyes.

How many more years until we see his cardboard girlfriend?

Thanks for backhanded compliment. I didn't say there was anything wrong with having a wild imagination. I couldn't have worked in the games industry for 4 years without having a wild imagination.

His attention to detail is great. I was just pointing out that he goes way beyond attention to detail. As others besides me (who weren't downvoted) pointed out it's a little creepy how into it he is, what with the mimicking tea-bagging and making all the weapon sounds. Hence enthusiasm begins to look a lot like obsession. Not saying he is obsessed. Just saying there's definitely a shade of that coming across in this particular vid.

Too bad that this is going to go around and this guy is going to become the next Ghyslain "Star Wars Kid" Raza at his school, but in my eyes he's a God damned hero.

You'd think that such a thing would be laughable, but the detail he put into every last inch in these things is incredible.

This kid kicks ass! He's gonna be some kind of engineer someday.

Cosplayers are awsome compared to this kid.

Heh. The kid is awesome. I'm also glad that the comments are for the most part really upvoting him. Sure, he's in that awkward stage, but damn he's got talent. Hopefully he gets some recognition for the video and Bungie flies him out or something. I think encouraging this kid's obvious talent will be a good thing and one day he'll be out there designing his own art with the same level of detail and interest.

Well this guys never getting laid.

is that the warthog in the background?

Starwarskid and Halokid sittin' in a tree

Lol, I wonder what this kid would do with some wood, I don't get why people are calling him sad for doing that in his spare time.. Atleast he's not in the streets pretending he's black ending peoples lifes and getting related with gangs.



MahaliProductions

I didn't know I was into Halo when I was twelve!?!?

This reminds me of the scene from Napoleon Dynamite where uncle Rico records himself playing football.

I'm stocking up on cardboard tubes, duct tape and moving boxes before I show my 8 yr old this video.

You've misinterpreted something; I can assure you there was no compliment. You're correct, though, in that you didn't say there was anything wrong with a kid having a wild imagination. That's why I used the word 'implied'. Here we have a bright, creative kid and you act like there's something wrong with him.

Completely off topic; imagination hasn't been a requirement in the games industry for at least 15 years. Actually, I'd argue you've got a better chance without it. Publishers don't need their sequel assembly line getting clogged up with original ideas.

Racism won't get you very far around here.

You're entitled to your opinion. But as counter-evidence I offer up Half-Life, Starcraft, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Puzzle Bobble (Bust-a-Move), Dance Dance Revolution--all made in the last 15 years, all wildly creative and wildly successful and that's just for starters. You could include more recent games like Guitar Hero and Cooking Mama or more obscure games like ChuChu Rocket and Ico, all of which took simple creative concepts and implemented them stunningly well. Yeah, there are lots of sequels but that's no different from the movie industry now is it? If people would stop buying them, the game companies would stop making them....

Just to keep the comment slightly on topic, I actually thought Halo wasn't all that creative when it first came out. Particularly the later level design (or lack thereof) in the first game since it got very repetitive. Just goes to show that sometimes a slight improvement on an old theme (FPS shooter) may still be hugely successful.

Demonstrating teabagging... bah.

I agree that there are a good number of creative and successful games, but the massive number of successful cookie-cutter games kinda rules out creativity as a 'requirement'.

i was going to be a scroodge and not upvote until curiosity made me go to the youtube page and see the original poster uses the name fartbuttface
