MIT catches Brawl fever with newest 'hack'
We have to admit that we're a bit disappointed with the simplicity of this gaming prank. Hanging little trinkets is nothing compared to arming and helmeting a statue to resemble Master Chief. While we appreciate the thought, this prank would seem tame at a community college, much less one of the most competitive schools in America. Of course, we're willing to forgive and forget, if MIT's student body can manage to come up with something a little better. You raised the bar yourselves, ladies and gentlemen. Now here's your chance to meet it.

Yeah, damn those MIT students! Who do they think they are, having interest in things other than school?!

They're hardcore.

The UBC Engineering students up in B.C. Can. hang Volkswagen bodies from bridges in Vancouver. lol

Cut them some slack, they didn't have time for a proper hack with all the Brawl they were playing.

Darn, you beat me to it.

It wasn't just any statue from that other hack, it was the statue of John Harvard. As in Harvard University Harvard.

If Princeton is able to photograph the entire Fresh Prince of Bel-Air playing Smash Bros. Brawl while dressed up as characters from the game (James Avery as Jigglypuff, for instance), then I will tip my hat. Until then, all other attempts are, as the kids say, "lame, yo."

No offense, but the kids at MIT do this sort of thing all of the time. Hanging stuff in the entryway is almost the equivalent of putting up a poster, at least in terms of commonality. They do it all the time.
It isn't some major MIT hack. It's just their way of saying "hello" to SSMB.

That isn't Mario's hat, it is a heart.
π @ Mar 10th 2008 6:17PM
A Heart Piece, no less.
James @ Mar 16th 2008 8:12PM
No, it's a full Heart Container (a heart piece would be a quarter of a heart). I can't believe nobody else noticed.

Heart pieces were 5 pieces in TP.

There exists a Mario hat and a mustache upon entering the "Infinite Corridor." Although hacks at MIT are fairly common, this one is minor in its complexity. Love your beaver!

thats funny, my sister who goes there called me yesterday and told me about that. she said she saw a giant mustache and it took her a long time to figure out what it was

They're lucky they don't get labeled terrorists like the people who hung the mushroom blocks in some town last year.

No dome hack?

MIT students are lame indeed.
