We here at the MTV Multiplayer blog appreciate all the attention paid to MTV News intern Billie Edington’s valiant quest to make a Master Chief costume for Halloween.

Really, we do.

But when you go and steal our ideas and make us feel bad, we can only do one thing.

Steal ‘em right back.

So, Kotaku, you had your fun with your little “Halo” helmet post. Now we’ll show the people how it’s done. Because unlike you, we remember what our math teachers taught us in middle school. We show our work.

To see how Billie made mincemeat out of the “Halo” helmet and then turned said mincemeat — plus an MTV baseball hat — into a Halloween “Halo” helmet, watch the oh-so-simple 27-step process.

Word is, folks, that the costume is complete. Will we see it on Halloween? Stay tuned. It could be like waiting for the Great Pumpkin. Or not.
