Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

It makes sense for a desktop user to flip tables. but what tables are at risk with mobile users?

[–]Harakou 12 points13 points ago

Tables are everywhere, man. Sitting at a cafe? Flip that motherfucking table. At a friend's house? Ditto. Social event? Same. The possibilities are endless.

[–]off_riding_a_broom 6 points7 points ago

at work and the company has youtube blocked because high bandwidth content is "too expensive" and it puts "too much strain" on the network because god know YOUR COMPANY DOESN'T POST PROFITS NUMBERING IN THE BILLIONS OR ANYTHING AND THEY CANT AFFORD TO LET ME WATCH SOME MOTHERFUCKING YOUTUBE?!?!

"Kre8ing" for some reason I feel like this guy is a life long Korn fan

[–]bigotkillerx 1 point2 points ago

Can you explain the reference?

[–]poornose 1 point2 points ago

Well look at the name of the band "Korn" if I could do it, the r in the name is also backwards. It's all part of this mindset from junior high kids that it's edgy to spell something diffferently. Like fucking "Sk8r Boi" from Avril Lavine

[–]me-tan 1 point2 points ago

To be fair skaters have been doing that at least since the late 80s.

[–]FriendlyVisitor 6 points7 points ago

[–]ObeseSnake 17 points18 points ago

And yet there is not walking in this almost five minutes of video.

[–]Dracomister7 3 points4 points ago

Did you see 30 seconds from the end? He walked with the bottom half on.

[–]skipdog172 -2 points-1 points ago

Walking with the bottom half on is not him walking with the costume on.

[–]TheAngrySpanker 9 points10 points ago

[–]Isaac_Shepard 2 points3 points ago

Is there a vid that can be viewed on mobile?

[–]SilentFilmScreenplay 2 points3 points ago

If you have Alien Blue just switch to Optimal.

[–]Isaac_Shepard 0 points1 point ago

I'm using safari.

[–]SilentFilmScreenplay 2 points3 points ago

Oh. I don't know then. If you are using an mobile apple product and not using alien blue, I think you should.

[–]Isaac_Shepard 1 point2 points ago

It worked, thanks

[–]Anthropophobiac 0 points1 point ago

You need to get Alien Blue.

Now.

[–]Isaac_Shepard 0 points1 point ago

I did, is it better somehow?

[–]Anthropophobiac 1 point2 points ago

I think so. It's easier to browse than using Reddit's "mobile" site.

If you have any questions/comments, feel free to join us over at /r/alienblue

[–]Isaac_Shepard 0 points1 point ago

I actually use the full site. It's easier to browse using your finger as the mouse.

He walks in the video if you watched it. Surprisingly well actually...

[–]jsake 0 points1 point ago

It looks super legit like an elite walks too eh?

[–]Kracus 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I was really expecting to see some very awkward steps. I made a costume with stilts once so I know. (jack skellington)

[–]EphemeralKap 0 points1 point ago

More of their work: http://petemander.blogspot.ca/

[–]SUPERafroman 0 points1 point ago

Most of this video is him making the costume. Fast forward to about 4:30 to see walk in it.

[–]Rileyman360 -1 points0 points ago

Amazing, but will it blend?

[–]Grimesy88 0 points1 point ago

Why thank you muchly.

[–]tanmandu 45 points46 points ago

Is that to scale? Are Elites that large compared to humans in the Halo universe? If so, fuck.

[–]Worlds_Apart 43 points44 points ago

On the halo wikia site, it says that elites are generally 2.2 to 2.6 meters tall. Average is 2.4 which is 94.5 inches or 7.8 (or 7.9) feet. So basically elites are 8 feet tall! Imagine trying to fight an elite o.o

[–]tanmandu 48 points49 points ago

Grunts now seem so much bigger.

[–]Worlds_Apart 27 points28 points ago

Yeah, i bet to the average human they are still pretty intimidating. However, to a 7 foot tall spartan badass, grunts are the least of their worries.

[–]Mac_Anu 36 points37 points ago

I just got an idea for another mode in the games.

A survival mode...as a normal marine.

You're not in one area. You'll play the same campaign the chief does, but alongside the chief. And just like the player, he quickly ditches you. It would be like legendary mode times 10.

[–]demalo 25 points26 points ago

Oh god, the flood...

[–]Mac_Anu 25 points26 points ago

Oh god, the hunters.

[–]jyapman 32 points33 points ago

Oh god, it's odst all over again

[–]Mac_Anu 23 points24 points ago

No, my friend. No. The ODSTs had proper armor.

[–]Lord_NiteShade 16 points17 points ago

Barely. Their armor is the highest calibre of conventional human armor, but still pales in comparison to MJOLNIR.

[–]Altair1371 4 points5 points ago

Oh god, the everything...

[–]whiteknight521 9 points10 points ago

That was kind of the concept of ODST.

[–]Mac_Anu 8 points9 points ago

The ODSTs are better equipped than normal. Spec ops. I mean normal marines. Greens with no faceplates.

Like playing as a grunt.

[–]SoModest 2 points3 points ago

Someone message the creators of Halo 4 and get them started on this brilliant idea of DLC. This is DLC material I would easily pay for.

[–]jonnythejew 0 points1 point ago

There was actually a mod for Halo 2, I believe, where you could play as a Grunt. Needless to say, turning the corner and seeing Chief everytime you spawn wasn't very fun.

[–]jairya 4 points5 points ago

Grunts are like 5.6 feet tall on average. Edit: Whoops, they're around 176 cm...so around 5 feet.

[–]Grotburger 0 points1 point ago

176cm = about 5'9' for the metrically challenged

[–]jairya 0 points1 point ago

Whelp, I'll just pack my things...looks like you've got things under control...

[–]pantsonfire123 0 points1 point ago

Grunts are about 5 feet, those "little" bastards will fuck your shit up

[–]Suddenly_Something 4 points5 points ago

And spartans are usually over 7 feet. Also, they're able to run at speeds over 30mph. (John 117 was said to have run over 60). Hence why they're so feared by the covenant, much like elites are feared by marines.

[–]MoosePilot 1 point2 points ago

Yep. In the latest book (Thursday War), Naomi (Spartan 010) is described as running 60 mph in one scene.

[–]crusoe 0 points1 point ago

They're a bigger target at longer range. Easier to hit with a sniper rifle.

They can't enter many human habitats. Make your base out of concrete, and keep the ceiling low, and they can't get inside.

[–]pumahog 6 points7 points ago

So they send in drones, jackals and grunts. Fuck Drones.

[–]FrankManic 2 points3 points ago

Or just plasma bomb the whole structure. It's not like they need to cap our technology or resources.

[–]pumahog 0 points1 point ago

That's a good point. The only reason they wouldn't bomb it is if they needed sensitive information stored inside the structure...which I think is the gist of all the Halo games when humans are under attack.

[–]Desinis 1 point2 points ago

Suicide grunt.

[–]pumahog 1 point2 points ago

Those were my Favorite to kill in 3. Put on grunt birthday party. Pop him with a headshot as soon as he lights up his grenades. The explosion from GBP moves the grenades into his friends better.

[–]UnwarrantedAgression 0 points1 point ago

Wouldn't work; they'd just send an unending tide of jackals and grunts in and camp at the entrances until they flushed you out. If you beat everything they sent at you they'd eventually get bored and blow the bunker apart with wraiths or hunters to get at the oh-so-killable humans inside. Failing that, they'd just glass the bunker from orbit out of spite.

[–]Vorokar 1 point2 points ago

Which pisses them off, resulting in orbital bombardment.

[–]Anaxan 1 point2 points ago

It still looks like they made it way too big, unless those guys are just short.

[–]Worlds_Apart 0 points1 point ago

yeah i dont think its fully to scale. I think real elites would be a lot slimmer and probably a half a foot to a foot shorter than in the pic. still, it looks pretty intimidating man!

[–]thedude8591 2 points3 points ago

They crouch down so much I think that is why this is surprising.

[–]Worlds_Apart 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, also because we mainly see the elites through the eyes of master chief. If you've watched forward unto dawn, then I'm sure you'll agree that they captured the elite flawlessly and that the fear the characters have directly portrays how fighting elites may be like through a regular soldiers eyes. Think halo 3 ODST, elites were a pain simply because you couldn't run in and shoot 4 of them lol.

[–]Thesandlord 0 points1 point ago

There were Elites in ODST? I'm pretty sure I only saw Brutes

[–]Wolfsburg 0 points1 point ago

I think there were some dead ones the Buck discovered at one point. That was it.

[–]Worlds_Apart 0 points1 point ago

Ah shit my bad there wasn't any you're right. For some reason i thought they were there...oh well. If you've seen forward unto dawn i think they done it pretty well

[–]Thesandlord 0 points1 point ago

Yeah the part where Master Chief kills the Elite with the Energy Sword about to kill the kids you can really tell the scale up close.

[–]TEASELLATE 4 points5 points ago

Red vs blue vs fucking huge.

[–]TheMuffinMan48 0 points1 point ago

combat evolved manual says they are roughly 8'6'' tall, and yes i made to the effort to check, don't laugh at me

[–]CocaineSympathy 0 points1 point ago

I'd make the case that humans in 2552 could also be larger because of even better improvements in dietary research. Think of how much the average height has increased in 50, or 100 years

[–]eifersucht12a 26 points27 points ago

Something tells me this isn't for dicking around on Halloween. These guys play for keeps.

[–]WannabeGroundhog 7 points8 points ago

Well in OP's defense (he's still a reposting dick) he didn't say best HALLOWEEN costume, just best costume, implying general purpose.

[–]Pollywaffle 48 points49 points ago

Wow. They're really upping the pre-order rewards for games.

[–]SoModest 10 points11 points ago

Yeah I got the Ultra-Mega-Legendary Spartan Edition. Still waiting for my Scorpion Tank. I have to download the ammo DLC though. What a rip off.

No but I would download a Scorpion Tank.

[–]ModernRonin 0 points1 point ago

I found this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NsQLq7EMkk&t=4m25s

Not sure if that proves it can walk. It proves the legs can be walked around. Not sure if the whole costume together can walk...

[–]Mgoogles101 31 points32 points ago

Well he didn't say HE made it. He just said it was the best costume design in his opinion. So in this case, repost is o.k.

[–]Tennysonn 97 points98 points ago

I've seen this before and still don't care it's a repost. I'm happy to see it again. Jesus Christ calm down it's been 4 months.

[–]iHaze 44 points45 points ago

I agree. I've never seen this before and with my interest in Halo at an all time high right now I think it's fair to say that this repost is warranted.

[–]oneoffaccountok 4 points5 points ago

And yet there's still no video of it walking. If I made that I would video the fuck out of it walking, if only for self promotional purposes.

[–]comienzo 9 points10 points ago

Dude stop being a little bitch, people repost things, I enjoy it because I haven't seen this before.

Let's settle on 10. Im 6ft 2" and I would put money that the guy on the right is taller than me. That elite is at least 4 foot higher than him.

i remember how exited i was about halo 2 when it first came out and also how terrified i became when i read the little info booklet and found out elites were almost 8 feet tall or something and grunts were around 5 feet tall.

i may be a little off but the idea of having one of those things in my face terrifies me even though grunts in the game don't seem so threatening.
