The Console Wars™ have been raging since before some of us were even born. For a majority of gamers, this is all they know, but thankfully one man is stepping up to try and bring an end to this eternal conflict. In combining Halo's Master Chief and Nintendo's iconic mascot, Mario, he's created one super tattoo and blueprint for the future prosperity of all gaming peoples. This Master Mario Chief is able to squash Goombas at alarming speed and save not only the Mushroom Kingdom from despair, but all of humanity in the year 2553 -- he's a figure every console owner can love.
Frankly, we applaud this man's courage and dedication to acknowledge that there are good things on all consoles via this permanent tattoo. Instead of blindly trashing the opposition as inferior, he celebrates each console's merits. Except for anything on Sony platforms, though, because Sony totally sucks.

And to think he'll have that for the rest of his life, most likely.

There could be world peace if it was Nathan Drake's face with a Mario cap on.

But then it would would look more like Joey from friends is master chief. Nathan is not that distinguishable.

Good call. Actually, some might just think that it's Nathan Fillion from ODST, ha.

David, just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the "trademark" on "The Console Wars" :)

He will one day realize what a huge fag he is and how much fail that tatoo brings to him

honestly if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that was a Master Chief body.

He could have chosen a better exclusive for the 360 (plenty of them), there is no way Halo is the best choice. But probably he just wanted a fusion between the 2 "mascots" (If you can call a space marine a mascot).

why wouldn't halo be a good choice?
coming from someone who doesn't personally own an xbox, and is totally indifferent towards it, the master cheif is iconic and has been their since the original launch of the original xbox, its as much of a mario to nintendo as it is to microsoft. This is in no means a bash towards 360 exclusives, but tbh many casual xbox players i know only play halo. a figure from gears of war (for example) would not be as easily recognized

Dave you are correct: "Sony totally sucks" :) and FYI Jesus TOTALLY has the best hadoukens! ;)

That looks much more like a mockery on the 360, like "Look, even Master Chief['s armour] is owned by Nintendo!", or something similar. Apart from looking dumb it can totally be interpreted in the exact opposite way is is intended.

Dude, if I ever find that guy that has that tattoo, I'll cut his arm off and then beat the crap out of him with it. THAT'S A MOCKERY TO NINTENDO!!!
