Life-size Mass Effect Jack Papercraft is Massively Impressive

Posted in: Today's Chili

Fans of the Mass Effect franchise of games will love this life-sized version of Jack. The details are every bit as impressive as the character on screen. It’s even more impressive when you consider that she is 3D and made primarily of paper.

This 6-foot, 2-inch tall Jack took about four months to complete – and he used Microsoft Paint to help make the templates. You read that right. Paint. Her creator Tankball doesn’t have Photoshop. Jack does have some wood and wire structure inside to help keep her stable, but she’s mostly made from paper.

There are two speakers in the chest so that he can plug his iPod into her too. Need to do some repairs? Well, Jack comes apart, making fixing her super easy, and protecting her from damage should she fall over.

To say that Tankball did an awesome job is an understatement. Check out the video for all of the details.

Life-Size LEGO T-800 Terminator: I’ll Be Brick

Posted in: Today's Chili

A life-size T-800 Terminator is one of those those that I hoped I would never live to see. Thank God this one is made of LEGO pieces and not Skynet parts. Even if he comes to life, so you could just take him apart brick by brick if you had to.

This 15,000-piece, full-scale Terminator T-800 LEGO model was built by Martin Latta. Quick! Hit it with a hammer and watch all of those bricks fall down. No, I haven’t seen the John Connor minifig, stop asking. My jacket is also not your size. Anyway, the detail on this awesome LEGO sculpture is very impressive.

How about a LEGO Terminator franchise of video games, LEGO guys? You have Batman and Star Wars, so why not?

Valve taunts us with prospect of official Portal 2 sentry turret replica (video)

Valve taunts us with prospect of official Portal 2 sentry turret replica video

A Holy Grail of gamer memorabilia is the Portal turret replica — as much a tech toy as proof that you can sing “Want You Gone” from memory. It’s already been coveted when made in small batches by fans, so you can imagine the hysteria when Valve Software itself posts a teaser video (found after the break) at its store’s Facebook page showing what looks to be a near life-size, computer-linked version of Aperture Science’s typical sentry from Portal 2, minus the laser targeting and live machine guns. After that, however, we’re left to guess whether or not it’s just a decoration for Valve’s offices or a commercial product to buy alongside a Companion Cube plushie. We’ve asked Valve about providing more details in the near future and will let you know if the developer is any more talkative than its robot guards.
