Hayabusa Watch Concept: How Master Chief Tells Time

The latest TokyoFlash concept watch from UK designer Peter Fletcher is one of his coolest yet. The Hayabusa LED watch features a case inspired by the Spartan armor of the same name from Halo.

The helmet-shaped case has an EL-backlit LCD that looks like the helmet’s visor, while watch is covered in a finish that looks like armor. Though I have to say it looks more like Mjolnir armor to be as it’s not pointy like the Hayabusa armor in the game. Still, it’s totally cool.

What I really love about the design of this watch is that the display is surprisingly easy to read. Twevle dots in the middle indicate hours, while the shapes that flank each side are just distorted digits for the minutes.

While those not in the know will have no clue as to what time it is, you’ll be able to tell time at a glance – hopefully before some Elite tags you with a sticky grenade.

Halo fans, If you like what you see, head on over to the TokyoFlash design blog and show your support for the Hayabusa watch. With enough votes, TokyoFlash could very well put the design into production.

Master Chief Shows up at Seattle Pride Parade with a Warthog

You may or may not know that this past weekend, people of the LGBT community took to the streets in major cities across the U.S. to show their pride and support Gay Rights. This particular parade took place just days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of gay marriage. So the people had plenty of reason to celebrate.

It wasn’t just members of the LGBT community who showed up either. Many companies were there to show their support as well. One of those was Microsoft, who attended in style in the Seattle Pride Parade, showing up with a Warthog and Master Chief himself.

What do you think of the Warthog’s rainbow decoration? Maybe it will show up in the next game. It sure is awesome to see companies like Microsoft support people’s right to essentially just love one another – and then frag them.

Metal Master Chief: I Am Pewter Man

Halo fans will want to break open their piggy banks right now and rush over to Etsy to get their hands on this wondrous metal statuette of the game’s protagonist, Master Chief.

This 6-inch-tall Master Chief statue was hand-cast out of almost 1 pound of pewter by artist Donald James. It’s truly a sight to behold. Chief himself was cast in 9 separate components, and then soldered together to form a single statuette.

This metal-man also comes with your choice of two weapons – a rifle and a side arm, though you can purchase more weapons if you’d like to fully outfit his arsenal. Personally, I would need to have both an assault rifle and an energy sword.

The pewter Master Chief sells for $250(USD) over on Etsy. And if gold is your thing, Donald will bling out your Master Chief with 24k gold plating for another $100.

Master Chief Stained Glass is a Masterpiece of Halo Fan Art

Stained glass seems to be having some sort of a geeky renaissance period. So why shouldn’t Halo get in on the colored translucent glass action? Well, okay then…

This impeccably detailed Master Chief stained glass window was made by Evan Daniels of Martian Glass Works. It’s just about perfect. The only thing it’s missing is a little glowing blue Cortana floating around and guiding Chief’s way as he takes on the Covenant and countless other nasties.

Measuring in at 50″(H) x 40″(W) and made up out of about 200 pieces of glass, it’s an impressive feat for sure. It took Evan about 70 hours to construct. Of course, all of that work is bound to be worth something, and the big glass Chief is selling for a whopping $3000(USD). But even if you can’t afford it, you should pop on over to Etsy and admire it from afar.
