21 Brave New Meme
If you don't play HALO and you don't like videogames, then you probably don't want to waste your time with the rest of this post.
If you're still with me, check this out: HALO kid
Sadly, this kid is gonna get made fun of, but one has to admit his cardboard reproductions of HALO weaponry are pretty damn good. I often tried this kind of stuff as a kid and failed miserably. My attempts at homemade toys more often resembled mangled, malformed installation art rather than anything one would recognize from the physical world. My only saving grace was my ability to draw a mean control panel onto a flat piece of cardboard. Thus my cardboard/bedsheet forts were pretty elaborate.
Anyway, back to this kid. What really strikes about the video is the quiet awkwardness of it. So unlike the flashy, brazenness of the Star Wars Kid. A level of nerddom for the more sophisticated internet meme viewer.
However, I totally give props to this kid for his....er...props.
