Craftster user melyssa_marie made this super costume for her boyfriend of a Headcrab Zombie from Valve’s Half-Life. The crab itself is made from vinyl and paint. She was so clever with the guts on the shirt…a fake apple split in half and a fake loaf of bread!

P.S. She made her present costume too, which cracks me up because my parents did that to me when I was five. It was horrible because in kindergarten that day we were cutting out shapes to make Halloween mobiles and I couldn’t cut because I could barely move my arms. Childhood tragedies.

Stephen loves his Companion Cube and it loves him. He wrote a very good tutorial on how to convert a Rubik’s Cube into a Companion Cube (from Valve’s Portal). He suggests buying a brand new Rubik’s Cube, but if I were doing this craft, I would try to get a cheap used one at a yard sale or thrift store or something instead of paying $10 for a new one - but I’m a cheapskate.
