Upon hearing the phrase “eaten alive,” one of three things typically comes to mind – your favorite episode of When Animals Attack!, the not so ambiguously gay duo Siegfried & Roy, or the time you accidentally walked in on me and your mom. If you are the blue Spartan in the following extremely short Halo 3 video however, that particularly traumatizing couplet of words probably brings back a rather painful memory involving Sandtrap, a few stray bullets, and a very hungry stone structure. In a valiant effort to spare the comments of an overused onomatopoeic utterance, let’s all say it together just to get it out of the way: NOM NOM NOM. Now you have to think of a new comment. Ha!
*A special thank you to XMixMasterX, who said walking in on me and his mom was no accident, for the tip!

It’s a good thing I never play on Sandtrap…

Mmmm these blue ones are tangy!

He wasn’t eaten, he found the ultimate hiding location. He just had to make it look like he was eaten so nobody would suspect his genius.

That was actually kinda cool.

I LOVE THOSE BOOKS!!
(You are awesome for reading them)
I was going to make the same observation!
Posted by Visitor at home on June 30, 2009 at 10:59 am
More than likely, mate. Though if it was Belgarath, he’s well and truly screwed…

Got one like that myself — except it was the floor of the broken bunker from High Ground (starting at 00:51)

there is one reason that video is annoying, and that is that it is drawn out, most of those, we don’t need to see 3 or four times and in slo-mo
Posted by Crazeye0 on June 30, 2009 at 10:02 am
I had to stop whatching your video. Repetitive and boring repeats of the same clip we’ve just seen already is well…boring, and most of all annoying >_>
Posted by tobias grey on June 30, 2009 at 11:20 am
learn to edit your videos better. Showing the same clip four times just makes the whole thing suck. Especially when you don’t even change the angle on one of the repeats.
Posted by ablestmage on June 30, 2009 at 11:46 am
It was referenced purely for the on-topic aspect, but to each his own on editing techniques perhaps ^_^;;
Posted by bs angel on June 30, 2009 at 12:40 pm
Based on the other reviews, instead of watching it I will take your word that the clip is an entertaining one. :)
Posted by mitchwashere on June 30, 2009 at 3:21 pm
thats a nice way of saying “based on other reviews, im gonna guess that it totally sucks ass so im not gonna watch it and waste my time.”
Posted by bs angel on June 30, 2009 at 3:29 pm
The not nice way would be referencing an article I wrote a handful of months ago entitled Why I Hate Your Halo Video. ;)
Posted by FishType1 on July 1, 2009 at 7:46 am
LETS WATCH IT AGAIN, THIS TIME FROM ANOTHER ANGLE.

After hearing much about this blog, I thought I would give it a look-see. You do not fail to impress, Mrs Bloggy person.
OT: And that is how yellow Spartans are made.

Why thank you kind sir! I have a lot of fun around here and only hope others do as well. :)

I just wanted to point out that there is a sequel to this horror flick…

Eaten Alive 2
This one isn’t as good, but you know how they are about sequels!
Posted by bs angel on June 30, 2009 at 12:39 pm
Oh I don’t know, I thought that was pretty awesome. Totally not what I expected!!
Posted by Crazeye0 on June 30, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Hah, I remember when my Mongoose got eaten by the ground one time, it got spat back out.
Valhalla dosn’t like the taste of Mongoose?
Posted by HellCat on June 30, 2009 at 12:53 pm
I think someone posted this before. I can’t remember which article.
But still Its like the halo cookie monster
Posted by NOKYARD on June 30, 2009 at 5:29 pm

i had this clip on my HD over a year ago and had almost sent in a pic for your Friday Caption Fun. There is one frame at around 16 or 17 seconds where his head is sticking out of his ass.

Man, this clip is OLD. I’ve had it on my hard drive for at least a year.
Posted by bs angel on June 30, 2009 at 9:01 pm
I believe it’s from 2007.
Posted by XMixMasterX on July 1, 2009 at 6:52 am
Yes it is… or early ‘08
My old roommate (the owner/originator of the clip) didn’t play for more than a few months.
Posted by Dreydon Barber on July 1, 2009 at 1:43 am
LOL
it’s like the dryer, but instead of just socks, it eats whole spartans……I wonder what Bungie’s doing with all those socks…….

Maybe someone at bungie had just been watching the classic Kevin Bacon flick Tremors and decided to make some updates.
