Metroid Cabinet

It is a fact that Samus’s influence in common life references is growing, and that Metroid-related art and works have expanded and increased in number. Here we see yet another example of this cultural rush that Metroid is going through:

But wait, what is this article about? A red cabinet? What’s so special about that?

Metroid Themed Crochet Dolls

If you haven’t ever heard of crochet now is the time to get educated. A quick google for crochet will give you an astounding variety of of material from hats to handbags. Well it’s time to add another category to that list.

I shot the creator, Rin, an email about the dolls:

Metroid Sugar Cookie Mosaic

GoNintendo reader Nebula427 created this Metroid sugar cookie mosaic for a Halloween food contest at work. Unfortunately for Nebula 427 it didn’t win, but now he/she can aspire to internet fame! I wonder what you do with a cookie like that?

I’d hate to eat it.

The Bitter Meat Off His Bones

One of our former community members has allowed us to publish his Metroid Prime 2 fan fiction. It’s an extremely well written short story based on the Galactic Federation Soldiers in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. A big thanks to Andrew for taking the time to write such a brilliant story. Coarse language throughout.

The Bitter Meat off His Bones

By Andrew Walter

As the twenty-two Marines of the G.F.S. Tyr ambled in to the GFMC Compound for a sparing repast, the amethystine clouds loomed onward. Nobody had quite an inkling of what they were, but they were there nonetheless and they signified something of an evil nature.

Just when you thought cake couldn’t get any better

Debbie Goard of http://debbiedoescakes.net/ has recently completed a stunning groom’s cake in the shape of Samus’ helmet. I took the time to contact her about it and she was kind enough to let us know how it was made.

The cake was a mint chip cake hand carved from round cakes ,

stacked , and iced in buttercream and then covered in fondant. The

metallic parts were made of belgian modelling chocolate and painted

with silver highlighter dust. The entire cake was airbrushed to add

color and dimension to the metallic parts as well. The cake was a

surprise for the Groom, he and the bride are huge fans of the game.

Best wishes to the bride and groom. You can see more of Debbie’s stunning cakes on her flickr channel

Update: The bride took the time to comment about the cake, you can see what the inside looks like as well as view more about what specifically the cake was sculpted from by visiting her blog: Judyonthenet.
