Friday Caption Fun, Round 32

While last weekend was especially lonely without our usual double serving of experience, this weekend we not only go back to our regularly scheduled programming but we also get to revel in the goodness that is the January Matchmaking Update. So grab yourself three balls (I’m way ahead of you on this one by the way), check out the multitude of playlist changes, and enjoy not having to hit the D-pad quite as often. Before you run off to do that though, let’s caption yet another entertaining Halo 3 screenshot, shall we? But as usual, first up are the rather hilarious responses from last week.

  • “Chief to Arbiter: Dude, it doesn’t matter how much yoga you do, it’s never gonna happen!” (mendicantbias00)
  • “It was at this moment the Arbiter realized that the Chief was lying to him and he wasn’t actually a Transformer.” (dragnew)
  • “After trying to replicate the Chief’s epic entrance to Halo 3, the Arbiter found out that it wasn’t really that easy.” (eclipser 84)
  • “Smells like… asparagus. The Chief was right.” (Waffle Deluxe)
  • “After hours of Alpha testing, IKEA Arbiter was finally scrapped.” (Woody)
  • “Chief would soon find out why the Arbiter needed the camera, enema bag, and orange juice.” (Mace Windex)
  • “I knew it! I DO have a a monkey up there!” (KkilljoyGruntT)
  • “Even though the Arbiter assured them that the Master Chief couldn’t resist this pose, Miranda and Cortana couldn’t help but ask themselves if this was really worth it.” (SuzumeShoujo)

Louis Vuitton For Your Xbox 360

January 22, 2009 by 12 Comments

xbox 360 faceplate

There are high maintenance bitches, and there are high maintenance bitches. This Louis Vuitton-themed Xbox 360 faceplate is appropriate for both. Airbrushed with the same pattern as the internationally renowned French handbags, this accessory is a must have for any gamer gal that happily totes this particular highly recognizable signature purse on her arm. With an eBay Buy It Now price of only $21, it’s certainly cheaper than getting the $300 coordinating zippy coin purse. Yay for counterfeited contemporary luxury brand knockoffs!

UPDATE: This item sold for US $21.00.

Debate This: Spawn Killing

January 22, 2009 by 99 Comments

Debate This is an ongoing feature which provides an opportunity for open discussion on various video game-related topics. Those who know how to debate in a mature and respectful manner are encouraged to participate. Present your opinion, but be prepared to defend it.

Spawn killing. Some gamers will passionately defend their long-standing belief that it clearly falls in the realm of unsportsmanlike conduct. Other trigger-happy individuals will happily be anticipating spawn points with the business end of their sniper rifle until the day the first-person shooter genre dies. For a not so brief look at the art of spawn killing, take a gander at the ridiculously long nine minute montage above titled “Spawnology, The Study of Spawns“. If you are anything like me and get your fill of being killed before having the chance to even take a single step while you play, simply watch 5:30-5:50 for a tiny but accurate taste of what it’s all about.

We all have different opinions on what constitutes “fair play”, and what works for one person does not work for the next. As spawn killing is especially frustrating to be on the victim side of things but strangely satisfying to be on the instigator end, let’s duke this one out. Debate This: Are you opposed, in favor of, or indifferent to spawn killing? Do you partake in the practice yourself? And why or why not?

Left 4 Dead Zombified Jewelry

January 21, 2009 by 14 Comments

Women love receiving jewelry for Valentine’s Day. It’s simply one of those life absolutes (much like the fact that you’ll probably get a bottle of massage oil and a pair of ridiculously ugly silk boxers you’ll be forced to wear while you rub her back in a nonsexual manner since the day is about “romance” and not about “getting some”). I may or may not have just realized that I hate Valentine’s Day. And that I probably should have been born with a penis. Anyways, since you already have a Left 4 Dead-themed Valentine at your disposal, I thought you may need some coordinating jewelry to go along with it. While these handcrafted pendants are reserved for someone else, you can try nicely asking the zombie-obsessed artist for your own set. Because girls love this shit. Seriously. They really do. I’ll take all four please!
