Half-Life Barnacle Ceiling Lamp is the Best Worst Decor Ever

[Scars Unseen]

Forget the ceiling. I want to put one of those on my front porch for Halloween. Or I would if I had a front porch. Or if people actually went trick-or-treating here.

Bonus points if you attach fly paper to it.

As terrifying as it would be to sleep under it, your chances of being assaulted at night are reduced by 85% or your money back!

That number would be higher, but you know... rule 34.

It's so hideous its awesome. Unfortunately if I showed up with that in my hands my wife would promptly slam the door in the face and/or my kids would never enter the den (cause I'd put it right over the doorway) On second thought.....

 

[IckleMissMayhem]

Obviously, a lot of time and effort went into making it, and it is an awesome replica, but would I want one in my house? Hell no.

Errr weren't they had more of a red/ pink/ fleshy colours?

Either way that is pretty cool. I didn't knew those thing had eyes judging from one of the photo.

 

[Frostbyte666]

I'd buy 1 sneak into a mates house and put it up just at the main door so he can walk into the tongue as he enters .

That....that is just FUCKING WEIRD looking.

Cool but just god damn weird.

Send one to Valve, maybe they'll give you a copy of HL3 they keep locked in their vaults to taunt us.

This would go well with my new Nyaghogghua rug. Very nicely indeed.

I'm actually wondering how all the barnacles in the games got up to where they did.

OT: I really want one SO bad

 

[Ulquiorra4sama]

I would not be able to sleep well with that silhouette in my ceiling.

However i'm curious... do you turn it on and off by pulling the thread or does it have a conventional light switch?

They're kinda like mold. The release Spores in that death throw up, some attach in the correct conditions and grow. Small microbes first, then insects, small animals, until they're big enough to eat gordon's brain out.

How much these things will cost wasn't mentioned but I suspect it's not particularly relevant. My guess is that if you have to ask, well, maybe you should just pop over to Ikea after all.

And you know what? that's perfectly fine with me. It's good for a chuckle or a quick article on say, a gaming news website. But I would NOT want to walk around it every day. Blech.

I'll wait for the cheaper mass produced mark II when they introduce the animated light cords that extend and retract when you turn the light on and off.

 

[Brutal Peanut]

Part of me feels like I'd forget it's up there once or twice, see it suddenly, and start screaming.

 

[Callate]

The barnacle's feeding is creepily similar to the New Zealand glow worm, Arachnocampa Luminosa. [link]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachnocampa[/link]

Fortunately, they're a lot smaller.

 

[Denizen]

Wow, that craft has to please the half-life creature designer. That looks incredible.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

I like the look oof it, but I don't like the idea of a light that would hang lower than head hight in my room... that would be irritating!!

 

[Lunar Templar]

...eewwwwww

I wouldnt feel comfortable having that on my roof, even if it is fake it would be paranioa inducing

me ether, but .... i can see it being good at keeping undesirables away if used by a door
