[–]mrbazooka 68 points69 points ago

Why did this remind me of Red Faction?

[–]inutterable 25 points26 points ago

Sledge hammer of doom

[–]DalekCaek 23 points24 points ago

Because 99% of the game was spent smashing shit?

I loved that game. Like Saints Row meets Wrecking Crew for a one night stand on Mars.

[–]Volper 9 points10 points ago

Well, they do take place in the same universe. So, I suppose that makes sense.

[–]Bowens1993 2 points3 points ago

Well that's my fun fact for the day, thanks.

[–]Volper 0 points1 point ago

No problemo!

[–]DJContagion 0 points1 point ago

Unfortunately, they won't make any more red faction games

[–]swirk 0 points1 point ago

Wait what

[–]Volper 1 point2 points ago

Yup.

[–]swirk 0 points1 point ago

Says who

[–]Volper 3 points4 points ago

The games themselves?

The DLC from saints row 2?

Nigga, you need jesus.

The DLC in Saints Row 2 uses the EDF vehicles, they chase you down and shiz. And your guy is like "Where are they going where they need this kind of firepower, mars?!" HINT HINT

In EDF the main corperation is Ultor.

This is probably the most incoherent thing I've ever written, but you get the idea. Gotta go, Diablo 3 calls.

[–]swirk 0 points1 point ago

Haha, my Bad. I never played the dlc for saints row 2 an only played the demo for guerrilla. Since I just liked knocking down buildings I figured I could get my fill through that.

[–]smashedfinger 0 points1 point ago

people still play D3?

[–]Decapitated_Saint 1 point2 points ago

Ultor

[–]swirk 0 points1 point ago

Ohhh. I only ever played the demo for guerrilla so I wasn't aware they were a company in the game. Cool beans.

[–]DrRedditPhD 1 point2 points ago

Ultor wasn't really featured in RF:G in any way other than a few old ruins. But the first Red Faction featured the Ultor Corporation heavily.

[–]swirk 0 points1 point ago

That's really cool. I love stuff like that. Finding out two shows or games I like exist in the same universe is one of the coolest things ever for me.

[–]Goreleech 0 points1 point ago

The first Red Faction was centered around Ultor. In Guerrilla there are just various references and remains scattered throughout the world.

[–]JeffK22 2 points3 points ago

Because shit like this would happen all the time. I forget which side mission it was, but it was early in the game, and you had like 3 shots to destroy what looked like an easily destroyed building, and that fucking thing would land in the most awkward positions and then stick there.

A lot like Angry Birds, now that I think of it.

[–]Endlessa 38 points39 points ago

My favorite part is it didn't actually fall down (happens sometimes when doing demo). . .so now he has to do it again

[–]dividezero 10 points11 points ago

Or worse. This situation just got exponentially more dangerous than the original situation. He was better of doing this right in the first place and now he has a bigger pile of shit to deal with even though it doesn't look that dangerous.

This is the point where i hope he learned a lesson, thanks his lucky stars and then hired professionals.

[–]o0eagleeye0o 7 points8 points ago

Or hook a tractor up to it to finish the job

[–]Detry 9 points10 points ago

I would just shoot at it.

[–]mediapl0y 4 points5 points ago

I would just shake my first at it.

[–]Deblackmon3 0 points1 point ago

I would just shrug and walk away gloomily.

[–]FyslexicDuck 3 points4 points ago

Would a shotgun w/ a deer slug work to bust holes in the base? I'd definitely try that.

[–]dividezero 4 points5 points ago

I have no idea. I don't get myself in these situations.

[–]immijimmi 1 point2 points ago

From your user, it kinda looks like you go out of your way to be in dangerous circumstances.

[–]thatoneguy211 2 points3 points ago

Why the fuck is everyone acting so serious about this?

[–]gimpwiz 10 points11 points ago

Because this shit will kill you.

And I don't mean eventually, I mean pretty much immediately.

[–]thatoneguy211 6 points7 points ago

Yes, a large brick building falling down will kill you. Isn't that understood? Do we need to dwell on that concept for a gif on /r/funny?

[–]TheManOfTomorrow -5 points-4 points ago

Careful using that word, "dwell." You're dwelling comment on why we need not dwell belies itself.

[–]dividezero 0 points1 point ago

It's a Darwin award situation. I've watched a guy get knocked across a yard and slammed into the side of a trailer because he was too manly to follow directions and take the time to do things safely.

Otherwise fuck. He can kill himself if he wants. Looks like there are others around, I'm pretty sure they don't want him to make the decision for them though.

[–]PizzaGood 1 point2 points ago

Actually, he just wrapped a chain around it and pulled with a tractor. Dude's a farmer, I grew up on a farm, you can't afford professionals. Most farmers are making squat and a few thousand dollars for a pro for this would be a huge expense to them.

[–]dividezero 0 points1 point ago

Well that's one way to make sure it falls on you.

[–]PizzaGood 0 points1 point ago

not if you have any idea what you're doing. With a chain on it you can have complete control of the thing. In his case he looped the chain around the bottom, so when it pulled it collapsed the structure on the side away from him, so it fell away. If he had a chain farther up, all he'd need to do would be to use a chain longer than the height of the building (well, higher than the square root of twice the square of the height)

[–]Fantasticriss 1 point2 points ago

Like this one? I was here for this one. The entire crowd guffawed in laughter

[–]Neltech 182 points183 points ago

like a fucking idiot, that thing could have gone any direction

[–]duckstick 0 points1 point ago

TIL some people can control gravity.

[–]habitualLineStepper -2 points-1 points ago

If you call that "in control" ...

[–]SchlapHappy 46 points47 points ago

My thought exactly. That guy could have easily killed himself there.

[–]solarnexus 41 points42 points ago

another potential darwin award winner gets away, damn.

[–]Divotus 6 points7 points ago

Where is his wife when this is happening?

[–]Heep_Purple 9 points10 points ago

The camera is always forgotten...

[–]FreeThinkerLee -2 points-1 points ago

Lumber jacks do the same sort of thing all the time, it was easy to predict what way it would fall, but the boards collapsed instead of tipping because it was old. It would not have fallen in the other direction though.

[–]JeffK22 15 points16 points ago

I think the "like a boss" was referring to the silo, not the dude.

[–]snippy_gerbil 3 points4 points ago

The interesting part is that they ended up pulling it down with a tractor from a safe distance. You would think that would be their first option rather than beating it with a sledge.

[–]GitEmSteveDave 0 points1 point ago

Unless you didn't have enough rope/chain on hand.

[–]snippy_gerbil 0 points1 point ago

Dunno dude, up here in Maine there is no respectable farmer that doesn't have "enough rope/chain".

[–]GitEmSteveDave 4 points5 points ago

It could have really only gone in two directions, down, like it did, or towards the area with no support/least resistance.

[–]pHreaksYcle 1 point2 points ago

Can't you just quickly judge which way it's falling, then run directly past the base to the other side of your projected fall?

[–]FyslexicDuck 11 points12 points ago

Would you bet your life you can?

[–]pHreaksYcle 6 points7 points ago

If it was being recorded/people were watching? Maybe.

[–]FlutterShy- 1 point2 points ago

Maybe for twenty dollars.

[–]Drilz24 0 points1 point ago

Maybe I am a whore but I would do it for 10

[–]swirk 2 points3 points ago

Everyone know you have to run along the path of a tall falling object. You can't just jump off to the side.

[–]habitualLineStepper -1 points0 points ago

More like a Darwin Award candidate.

[–]jai07 0 points1 point ago

Sure, but assuming he isn't a stereotypical movie character, a quick run in any direction than the full length of it falling would render this man unharmed and stuff.

[–]Catsfosho 0 points1 point ago

As long as he didn't have the response that all cartoon characters have, ya know, where the run the entire length of it instead of taking one step to the side, i think he would have been fine.

[–]esmith972 8 points9 points ago

Anyone have a source video?

[–]wxs11 14 points15 points ago

all I had to do was google: man knocks down silo with sledgehammer

[–]esmith972 2 points3 points ago

[–]mar109us 2 points3 points ago

i watched this and ended up watching a mirrors edge speed run, wtf.

[–]markevens 25 points26 points ago

This has to be the stupidest motherfucker in all of history.

[–]Mtc529 7 points8 points ago

Hello, welcome to Earth, home of the humans. You must be new here.

Either that, or this is your first time on the internet.

[–]ImJustJokingCalmDown 0 points1 point ago

It's Silo Labeouf, he knows what he's doing.

[–]Snaggletoothe 42 points43 points ago

giant jenga

[–]ElKayakista 11 points12 points ago

For real I was just thinking "man he must be realllllyyy good at Jenga.

[–]QWERTY36 4 points5 points ago

My thoughts exactly but now he has to climb to the top of the tower and put the bricks back.

[–]btreichel 2 points3 points ago

It kinda looks like he would suck at it

[–]nxtm4n 2 points3 points ago

No, because the tower is still standing!

[–]randomletters92 0 points1 point ago

My thought was "I would [i]not[/i] play him at jenga.

[–]zerooneinfinity 2 points3 points ago

ctrl+f jenga was not dissapoint.

[–]HamsterBoo 0 points1 point ago

I dunno, I was hoping for JENGA in all caps. Maybe an exclamation point.

Hot dog, get your hot dogs here! My god, would you look at the size of that...

[–]Scottyboy808 7 points8 points ago

[–]chundermonkey 3 points4 points ago

Piston. He needs a piston-engined machine to topple that massive...

[–]Annex1 23 points24 points ago

[–]turistas554 4 points5 points ago

That is a huge load of bricks.

[–]bigtreeworld -1 points0 points ago

[–]Sjokomelk 0 points1 point ago

My brother did something similar with a similar silo, only that he was inside it when it collapsed. Luckily, not a single brick hit inside the silo.

[–]kublakai 0 points1 point ago

conspiracy theory brain immediately starts thinking about the trade towers................................?

Anyone?

[–]rrreeevvv 2 points3 points ago

I shat that same tower of bricks watching this.

[–]ObnoxiousSeizures 0 points1 point ago

This reminds me of LotR: RotK on GameCube..

[–]fatboi69 0 points1 point ago

[–]aryatha 0 points1 point ago

We had the exact same thing happen. We looped a chain around the base of a silo, hooked it to a tractor (> silo height away), and pulled. It was hilarious.

[–]robskiii 1 point2 points ago

so dumb so dumb so dumb

[–]evilarhan 0 points1 point ago

They really don't build them like they used to, do they?

[–]bummer69a 0 points1 point ago

[–]Brewster-Rooster 0 points1 point ago

Ooh, this is a perfect example of why the twin towers didn't fall over sideways.

[–]AgCrew 1 point2 points ago

See! 9/11 was an inside job.

[–]trampus1 -1 points0 points ago

Reminds me of the tower level on Demolition Company. It was my favorite one, just so satisfying taking out just enough and watching it topple over.

[–]isotretinon 0 points1 point ago

reminds me of red faction guerrilla..

taking out buildings with that hammer.

[–]CuriousPotato 1 point2 points ago

Can somebody edit this and make it so when it lands, it gets sunglasses and says 'Deal with it."?

[–]erikgil 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, this is when you sacrifice a tractor. Aim it at the structure (which was compromised) and from a safe distance watch the structure eat the tractor.

We all have spare tractors, no?
