Friday Caption Fun
29 02 2008Previously our Friday procrastinate-until-you-can-sneak-out-of-work-early activities were Rorschach Inkblot Tests using the global heatmaps from Halo 3 as our images. The answers always varied from deeply insightful to side splitting hilarious, and I loved reading through them every week. Unfortunately there are only so many maps and we happily burned out way through them. That means it’s time for a new Friday activity.
I spend a decent amount of time these days scouring through screenshots for halo3screenshots.com. I find myself coming across ones that are so funny, they seem to be positively begging for a caption. Thus begins Friday Caption Fun. I’ll give you a screenshot, you come up with a caption (or 42 if you are NsU Soldier!). Just like with the Rorschach Inkblot Tests, I’ll do a recap on next week’s post of some of the funnier submissions.
Here is this week’s screenshot, which was taken by AusQB. I call it “oh shit” but I know you can do better. Hit me with your best captions!
Come on. i wish i was born with telekinesis
If we are gonna play baseball with plasma grenades and gravity hammers then the least you could do it pitch the ball lower…*BOOM*
“its soooooo…..pretty…..”
It is mine and i shall call it sticky *BOOM* Bad sticky!
Bob? Is that you? Or is it Doug?
Blue glow blinds my eyes
And illuminates my world
Get this thing off m-
A death haiku for whomever the victim is.
Wow, look at the pretty light! ! ! !
One wonders if going the other direction when deciding in school on either Chef at Che’ Manufique, or Universal Merchant Marine, would have been a better choice.
“The bastard son of Guilty Spark just keeps following me around calling me ‘Mommy’!”
“ohhhhh we have to stik together!”
” sorry honey don’t have time! (i hope….)”
God I really hate Grunts!
“If you can read this you are too close.”
“Oooh… shiny blue thing!”
Hey - you lied! this thing doesn’t have my name on it!
“There is no grenade”
“I’M NOT GRIF!”
see cortana, i CAN move things with my mind…
“Bob? Is that you? Or is it Doug?”
oh i get it
it looks soft, and blue…please be soft *death*
OR
i should’ve been in the Martix
“Oh…hello there!
Red vs Blue…ball?
“But…but I had the Sword!!!”
343’s much smaller, much more aggressive cousin.
^ that one is from my buddy =D
viagra.
This is one realistic Magic Eye.
“Crap! Which ones are sticky: the grey or the pretty blue ones? Cause if it’s the bouncy kind, I’m fine, but if it sticks I’m screwed. Damnit, why can’t I remember this kind of thing when I need to! I shouldn’t have slept through so much of Basic Training. I could have been a good student. But no, I had to be known as the ‘Party Spartan’ and be out all night, every night…”
“Well would you look at that, it isn’t a spider after all.”
Blatant RvB referencing is always good =P
Hello. My father’s name was Andy, I’m here to make him proud.
Following the RvB reference
Little Spartan soldier
Sat on a turret,
Sniping the noobs far away.
Along came a spider
Who sat down beside him
And blew Spartan Soldier away.
fuck.
Dodge this!
One frame away from death.
Stupid gru…
Hmm. I don’t remember throwing that.
this is for using my sister the wrong way aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
“So.. You must be 343’s little brother?”
“Bob? Is that you? Or is it Doug?”
Well I know my favorite.
Why, hello mister spider!
….you’re looking quite….glowy….today…
Thought you’d like that one ZZoMBiE13!
I Love Bob and Doug!
I’m so goooooooooooooooooonnnnnneeee!
“Goodness, gracious, great balls of @#%&!!!”
“i think i love you”
“you make me feel blue”
“promise you won’t hurt me?”
those should be pretty good
My quote:
“I swear, I don’t know who you are, I never touched Guilty Spark that way, EVER!”
He looks like he is trying to explain it to the sphere.
Nice to see the “XBox Case Cleaning” article is getting some show. It was a good thing to post.
XBox 360 - It’s the weekend!
“Ooh hello. You’re a pwetty little thing aren’t you. I shall name you George, and I will pet you, and feed you, and we shall be beeeest frie - ” “BOOM!”

You’re cold imbracing glow,
Illuminates my day,
Whenever you’re around,
My shield-stats blink OK,

That true love ‘aint so true,
You may think you’ve won ‘nade…

For I am stuck on you!
Hmmm… what’s this?… “Covbro PlasmaDeath playcentre. Helping Covenant children experience the joy of leaning since the 3rd age of reclaimation. (Warning! may contain small parts. Not suitable for children under 2 or Grunts)”
Shit, I spelt “You’re” wrong in the first sentence… Bloody hell, I double checked it as well!
Is it a spider?
I’m torn between “Do not want!” and “Gah! Get it away!”
The Adjutant Reflex emblem is on the plasma grenade! I have to put this in my blog. Wait. . . Oh, Crap. . .
This is the last time I let Bill help me learn to cross my eyes. . .

Calculating trajectory. . . wind speed. . . take into account Spartan reflexes. . . carry the one. . . yeah. . . it’s gonna hit me.
Heh, Angel, “oh shit” is the first thing that came to my mind too.
Blue ball : “HEYYYYYY!”

“Oh, it’s addressed to occupant!”
“Happy feeling gone.”
“Does my helmet look okay?”
“Oh, and he’s hit by the pitch. You never like to see THAT kind of sportsmanship.”
“You see doc, I knew something was wrong with me when plasma grenades began shooting out of my face.”
Player 1 uses a Poke-Ball on the wild Master Chief!
Is that a plasma grenade or are you happy to see me?

‘Screwed:
The feeling you get when knowing you are going to die’
‘And then there was boom’
‘Never under-estimate balls’
‘Balls, no longer man’s best friend’
‘Why Hallo Thar’
‘It was then, that the Spartan realised the other Spartans weren’t throwing lollies at him, for him to eat’
My God, it’s full of stars!
“The Eye of Sauron sure looks different after some Visine”
Johnny knew he shouldn’t have picked up the sniper when he found there was a was a 9 year old recruit on his team, but he did it anyway…
A subtle commentary upon noobs who think the sniper is their birthright XD

Damn…if only I had let Donut wax my armor…
Grenade: Hello, I am 343 Guilty Spark, Monitor of Instal…
Red: Dude, This weed is awesum….
Guilty Spark learns the ugly truth about steroids…that it shrinks your ball!
Here’s a few:
1) I spy with my little eye…something blue.
2) Not the face! Anywhere but the face!
3) Plasma: Bet you can’t stick me.
Spartan: You’re on.
4) Plasma: Someone needs a hug!
5) Why hello there blue fairy, can I be a real boy?
my first one needs to be adjusted it should be
“I shall call him sticky and he shall be mine, my sticky” *BOOM* “bad sticky!”
just imagine what his face looks like under his helmet
Botheration
