Video: Learn some tricks of the super-mutant trade in this handy Prototype video...
Before we get into the video, here's a funny story.
A mate of mine was having a housewarming party the other night, with a video game character theme. I racked my brains to come up with an easy (I'm a lazy sod) and yet evocative costume; I had settled on Max Payne, but then learnt that the host was taking that option. Bum! So I was walking home in the rain one night, the hood on my jacket pulled up, and I saw myself in the window
Yeah... Alex Mercer!
So, dark jacket, hooded sweater, shirt, pretty easy stuff. Ended up making a lovely claw out of a cheap Freddie blade glove all wrapped in gaff, too. Taped it onto my hand, and went to the party.
Costume was a hit. Recognisable, and ultimately very comfy. But I do have one thing to say - large mutant claw hands are not good for going to the toilet.
Sadly this tricks video does not include any hygiene tips for super mutant types, but it's still pretty entertaining.
