College Student Recreate’s Halo’s Zanzibar Map Using Legos

Does anyone else find it a little odd that video games and Legos seem to cross paths on a regular basis? At any rate, a college student from God-Knows-Where University recreated the entire Zanzibar map in Halo using Legos:
“After nearly two years of building and thousands of dollars sunk into my project, it’s finished. This is my latest video which details how I made my famous Lego model of Zanzibar from it’s very first stage, to the now near completed form. I wanted to make this video so that everyone will get the facts straight. I originally sent the picture and video files that you’ll see in this video to Bungie Studios where they incorporated them into the Halo 3 Legendary edition bonus disk.”
Apparently, he put this together to use as a set in a future stop-motion film, which I sincerely hope is his senior project or something. Seriously, I did not have that much free time in college.
That really is badass. Hopefully nobody decides to trample all over it in a bully-type fashion.
I think you’d injure yourself trying to trample over that.
Certainly looks very cool. A bit too much time spent on it, but still cool.
Do I hear a new LEGO series from Bungie!?
I wonder how many women you could have nailed instead during the time it took to build this…
Cool story. Grocer’s apostrophe in the headline must die, though
Good thing your parents had a big basement.
you are GAYEST kid I have ever seen…
spend some of the 2,000 on a hooker and a camera..POST THAT NOT THIS…goddamn man
Re: I wonder how many women you could have nailed instead during the time it took to build this…
None. The answer is none.
get a life dude…
LEGO® is the name of the company not the product so he didn’t make it out of Legos he made it out of LEGO® bricks.
^^I think the above post might have been about me
It’s all good man,
If you’re anything like me, you’re just an over achiever, always needing something to keep your spare time. I spend mine working on motorcycles, you spend yours on legos, it’s all good.
Now if he was sewing cloths to cover the lego’s to make it look like normal Halo terrain, then i’d be worried.

Please fix the title. Recreate’s should not have a ‘ in it.
un-freaking-believable…and no, I don’t say this because of how impressed I am with this.
seriously. What next…a battle between his old GI Joes and He-man figures?
Anyone on here accusing this guy of not having a life or not “nailing any chicks”, you have no right to talk. You posted a comment on a GAMING website. You are also a nerd.
Hypocrites.
That is one kick-ass LEGO model. Wish I had time to make something that cool.
“Seriously, I did not have that much free time in college.”
Sure you did, you probably just spent it drinking. Or sleeping. Or debating politics or something.
It really irritates me to see people rail on other people’s hobbies. He had a good time, he created something cool, why bust on him for it? I didn’t see him pointing and laughing at gamers…
There’s only one Zanzibar, and it’s not from Halo. Sorry you wasted your time, next play some MGS and model the original one.
Get a life, a girlfriend or something (=
There is no “s” in “Lego” ass face! So embarrassing.
Get a life!
Why do you guys have to be so negative i mean its freaking the entire map of Zanzibar in Lego form why dont you one of you try and do it i personally love this idea of halo 3 Lego sets this guy should sell this to Lego and have them market it in a smaller and simpler form
this bloke is a virgin, or a bra-wearing sissy boy
He is a loser. And I’m posting this on a gaming site while I’m getting my dick sucked by a hot chick.
This guy really needs to get laid.
Go get a life
Sweet kiddie.. Well done
This was NOT on the special edition dvd. i saw all the vids and didnt see it.
WHY? Why do this? There is no end result to this other than a huge waste of time, money, effort… Your fingertips are probably nothing more than bloody stumps.
Hogwash
To all the morons who tell this guy to get a life, ask yourselves the following questions. A. Have I ever accomplished anything in my life that didn’t take more than my right hand and one minute to do? B. Should my Dad have settled for a b.j.? or should he have pulled out early and spewed me all over the wall?
cool, but you should get the deshaker plugin for virtualdub.
well
Sure, you put a lot of work into this, and that’s cool for you, I guess.
But dude… get the hell over yourself.
“I did this part, no one knows about this.”
“…design change on my part…”
You’re building a halo level out of lego pieces, it’s not that important.
Just sounded like you stroking yourself for 10 minutes about how much you know about this level, and how much attention you put into it.
To that Steve person who said the guy was stroking his ego, You’ve never actually made anything that you feel proud about, have you? The guy is excited because he made something pretty huge, and after finishing it, feeling he just made a huge accomplishment.
If you didn’t want to watch a video about him being proud of his achievement, then why did you sit through it?
Also, I love how everyone is freaking at this guy like he posted the video here and will see their snide remarks. He did this to have alittle fun, have none of you ever did that or are your lives to meaningless you have to justify your existance by getting lots of pussy? Also, please reply and insult my post! I’ll never see your replies anyways.
thousands of hours to build, but would only take me minutes to destroy.
a metaphor for the fragileness of the human body
If I could have built it, I would have too. And you know what? Any chick who goes ‘lol, you’re spending all your time building legos wat a luzer!’ doesn’t deserve a spot on my dick.
A cool chick would’ve helped out, or tried to compete and build a model of a different level and try to finish before you did.
Sure, it’s dorky, but it’s cool. I mean, it beats sitting around watching television for 40 hours a week.
Legos is not a word. Lego works for plural and singular.
I enjoy video games and LEGOS immensely. I’m an attractive, intelligent, heterosexual girl.
So shut it, assholes. This guy is obviously creative and resourceful, which is more than what I can say for you flamers.
Women (excepting loose hoes) admire hard-working men. We think guys that spend their time getting laid and smashed are wastes of time.
Anyway, awesome job, Alex. That is incredible!
nerd
Fricking awesome!!!
mario guys at the end??? goomba, turtle…
I swear I’m missing out. I wish there were more people around my campus doing stuf like that. I would so get in on it.
fricking awesome!
You guys need to shut up about him needing a life and shit. He is doing something with his life, he maybe was bored one day and wanted to achieve something big,he’s obviously very artistic and creative, and doesn’t quit his work. And having sex all your life isn’t any better. You will get further in life with doing things like this than you will by having sex with hookers and posting that shit on the computer. So just shut up.
all the guys that said this guys a sissy. you probably can’t talk. i mean i respect this guy and appreciate what hes doing with his life. you lot are most likely people without any friends at all. losers.
Wow! do you think he’s going to turn it into Last Resort some day?
u assholes obviously dont fuckin understand maybe he got bored while playin halo and decided he would recreate it with lego pieces so honestly ive attempted doing stuff like this and it didnt work he took it to the limit here actually making that if bungie saw it theyed like pay em er sumthin but u people who say he cant do anything else with his life are WRONG people like him are just smarter than u and u gotta try to make em feel bad and daddy cat if u gonna leave a comment like that ur dick hasnt been sucked befor lol
