avps3: alien chestburster busts through ps3 [casemod]

I loves me some ooey-gooey Alien Chestbursters, and I certainly enjoy the occasional PS3 game. This over-the-top casemod combines both.

Modder GivinTats originally did another Alien casemod a while back, and then had someone reach out to him to make a custom mod featuring a gory Chestburster pushing its way out of the side of a poor old 1st gen PlayStation 3.

Since the original movie Chestburster is said to assimilate some traits of its host, GivinTats decided to make him a bit of an alien cyborg instead of a straight-up organic creature. Check out the blood, guts and parts spraying forth from the side of the PS3. Yummy. The broken circuit board coming out of the cracked open case carcass is an especially nice touch – although it would suck if that were the actual circuitry from the PS3 itself.

usb alien: in your cubicle, noone can hear you scream

Here’s a creepy little critter to put on your desktop, right between the stapler and your coffee cup.

Fresh off the boat from Japan, this USB gadget looks just like the grotesque giant-headed, acid-blood-dripping, eponymous alien of Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien vs. Predator, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, Alien: Resurrection (and the soon-to-be Alien prequel).

Just plug the nasty thing into your USB port, its grotesque inner mouth randomly pops out of it’s mother mouth, backlit by a glowing red LED. Yummy.

If you’re a fan of Alien, you’ve gotta grab one of these. They’re available for pre-order over at Strapya World for ¥3990 (appx. $44 USD), and should start shipping this December.

I think I’ll put this right next to Hello Kitty and Domokun.

alien ps3 casemod: ripley, believe it or not.

In this case, no one can hear you scream. The Alien Assimilation Playstation 3 casemod is definitely going to give me nightmares tonight. I’m not really sure what’s going on in there, but it couldn’t possibly be good.

Tattoo artist / casemodder GivinTats, created this creepy looking case by hand-sculpting layers of epoxy putty - the same stuff use to mend dented car fenders. Once dried the shell turned out about as hard as metal. Followed up with an ample coating of the appropriately named Chaos Black paint - et voilà - bony Alien swimming in primordial black soup.

Now I can’t make out all of the details of the Alien creature(s?) from these photos, but if I saw this thing sitting in my entertainment center one day, I think I’d have to get out the flamethrower so I could try to kill it before it laid its eggs in my stomach; or bled acid out of the Blu-ray slot.

H.R. Giger would be so proud.
