Friday Caption Fun, Round 77
January 15, 2010 83 Comments
O Red Ring of Death, Red Ring of Death, wherefore art thou Red Ring of Death? Oh wait, I know where you are. It’s pretty hard to miss you when you’re flashing on one of my Xbox 360s. While I go mail myself an appropriately-adorned condolence card, you can look over Halo 3’s brain-flavored double experience playlist of the week. Then feel free to poke around last week’s responses and try your hand at captioning another screenshot. Just don’t slip on my tears. They’re kinda everywhere right now.
- “Damn, the pharmacist wasn’t kiddin’ … these Magnums are huge.” (Cardo)
- “Being the last Spartan in line for costumes, Mr. Security got stuck with going as candy corn this year.” (Skelbrute)
- “This Spartan was tired of being assumed to be a man, so she looked for something to emphasize her girlish figure; unfortunately, this is the best she could find.” (General Vagueness)
- “This was not the kind of silly-cone implant I had in mind!” (Gi85on)
- “Somebody got killed by a traffic cone and got Recon armor. Let’s see what happens when I kill somebody AS a traffic cone!” (shadowsquid86)
- “While I liked Halo “Risk”, this new version of Halo “Sorry” just wasn’t that fun.” (ZZoMBiE13)
- “Blue had an almost perfect plan to win “scariest costume” at the annual Halloween party. He however forgot one thing, Dare was invited…” (Uccxxxv)
- “Cone’d.” (Visitor at home)
Getting cone’d is a fact of life for many of us unfortunately. I don’t think the Elite in this next screenshot can say the same though (unless one of those traffic-diverting markers manages to score some serious air). I do believe this Sangheili is waiting for a witty statement though and last time I checked it wasn’t all that patient so hurry up and caption already! It’s not like I”m asking you to play SWAT against it or something, jeez.

“Bunch of monkeys on your ceiling, sir! Grab your egg and fours and let’s get the bacon delivered.”
A nice obscure one to start you off. :D
Inspired by Avatar, the Sangheili attempted his own bonding ritual.
Becoming increasingly frustrated by the number of “Elites are fat” comments, the Sangheili set out to prove everybody wrong.
Before the Banshee..
‘..and you thought Campers were annoying!..’
hi ho silver away!
The Elite took the whole ‘players flying Pelicans’ thing wrong.
Oh, and angel, too bad about the RROD :(
You have my…..condolences :)
Here comes the cavalry! Wait, WTF?
Although glad to be back as an adversary in Halo: Reach, Mr Ascetic ultimately drew the short straw when it came time to visit the vehicle depot.
So, as the red-neck elite waited for the deer, he remembered his wife/sister.
Best Sniping Spot EVER!!!
And here we see how the rising force of Avatar fandom, is even starting to appear in Halo. MAN THE VOLCANOES!
After seeing the UNSC’s seagull turret, the Covenant answered back with sniper pterodactyls!
———–
Bungie’s banhammer was so effective that modders had to start going to extreme lengths to find inaccessable sniping spots.
———–
Does this qualify as Dino on Dino action?!?
———–
While the ewoks were successfully in defeating the Empire, they were not so lucky against the Covenant
The lack of green torpedoes and plasma bullets did not mean this new aircraft was projectile-less…
FALCOR!!!!
The all new Covenant “Banshee”.
They see me flyin’, they hatin’. With Banshees they tryin to catch me flyin’ birdies! tryin to catch me flyin’ birdies! tryin to catch me flyin’ birdies!
James Cameron has nothing on me!
Now where is that seagull sporting mini spartan and mini gun?
To victory!
I totally didn’t think mine was good enough, wow.
Unhappy with the Falcon, the UNSC decided to make another little sister to the Pelican and name it appropriately– thus was born the Spoonbill.
Spoonbill, lol.
I’m more worried about the sniper going through the birds neck
There are many things that the UNSC do not know about their new allies. The extent to which the Sanghelli enjoyed cross-species rape with sniper rifles was, frighteningly, one of the least disturbing.
Toruk Makto, Rider of Last Shadow.
Its an Avatar thing :)
The UNSC was not the only faction affected by budget cuts.
“What? They were all out of speeder bikes”
I wanna fly like an eagle… To the sea… Fly like an eagle, let my spirit carry me!
goin for eight seconds this time guys! YEE HAW!
Players the world over rushed to get their clip for Anoj’s next Top 10 video: Top 10 Best Sniper Ricochet No-Scopes while riding a bird.
Sittin’ in the mornin’ sun
I’ll be sittin’ when the evenin’ come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch ’em roll away again, yeah
In exchange for technology after the war, humanity gave the elites old VHS tapes of Dino Riders.
Also sorry to hear about the red ring, I am currently in one as well on one of my 360’s.
I R FLYING ON UR MYNOCHS, CHEWIN ON UR POWAH CUPLINGS!!
Wow, I have absolutely nothing for this one. I feel so helpless.
*sad face
In a nod to the recent James Cameron film, the Elite attempted and successfully mounted his own flying reptilian creature…
where do baby sangheili come from? The stork elite!
damn, you beat me to it.
also, sorry to hear about the RROD. i got one a couple weeks ago and its currently in mesquite, texas :(
To infinity…. And BEYOOOOOOND!
We ran out of Banshees, so I just had to settle with a Banshee.
Avatar Ref, etcetc
“Haha! They’ll never find me out here… wort wort wort.”
After playing Modern Warfare 2, Dinosrcool27 decided to try and bring the AC-130 gunship into Halo 3.
Personally i would have said Ac-1Birdy
“Take your army to the Haunted Forest, and bring me that girl and her dog! … And take care of those ruby slippers; I want those most of all. Now fly! Fly!”
Rejected Halo Wars aerial attack concept.
“Next on ‘Planet Earth’, as we scour the jungles in search of the rare Red Tiger, the crew stumbles upon something that was quite unexpected.”
FOR NARNIA!
Though the wreck wasn’t his fault and insurance covered the damages, Jack’s rental was not what he had planned.
Bug’s Life: The Machinima!
“its alright!” “what is it” “Mynocks”
Is it just me or do those creatures look like Mynocks?
Now Uuthrum, when I said go fly a chicken I bloody-well didn’t mean it!!!
I can’t believe I gave up my energy guzzling banshee for this Eco friendly sub compact!
“Hello, I’m a nocturnal placental mammal of the order pterodidae, or ptero-didn’t-I… In case you can’t tell, I’m a bat!” Bonus points for those who get what this is from.

“Oh so the Demons have snipers now, do they? Well Id like to see Emile do this!”
————–
“I love my sniper. I love that I can fly. I love big targets, and when Spartans die! I love the whole world, and all its sights and sounds! Boom de yadda, boom de yadda, boom de yadda…”
Nice “Fern Gully” reference. :)
This kind of dinosaur on dinosaur is something I never seen before!
Shire…Baggins!
I laughed so much at that one I had to mention it (that I laughed, that is)
Is it a bird? Yes. Is it a plane? No Then Wtf is it?
A bird
Thanks i was having a hard time on that one.
“Do a barrel roll!”
With Call of Duty getting Emergency Airdrops as well as care packages, the Elite team tried to one-up them wtih the new Elite package
Ever since Modern Warfare 2 coming out, elites are now know as AC130’s…
Dino-bird Evolved!
The little known feature being developed for Reach.
“Don’t you know about the word? Yeah, everybody knows that the bird is the word!”
Fly, my pretty! [insert maniacal laughing here]
Oh, wait. Someone already did a similar one. Rats, foiled again!
The four horsemen of the apocalypse just got re-vamped.
Do a barrel roll!
They see me rollin’, they hatin’
It was a good idea for Matthew McConaughey to pass on a returning role for a Reign of Fire sequel.
They see me flying….

And if you look to the left, you’ll see Guardian. The Flight attendants will be bringing your drinks shortly.
Damn passenger class! *grumblemumble*
Wait for me guys! I missed the bus!
The Elites took one more step towards Japanese culture (The Duel*cough*) by introducing; the Kamikaze.
A bird in the Hand in worth two under that Elite’s bush.
SPARTAN: “Huh, I’ll believe that when Elites fl— uhh, the Fat Lady sings.”
Dynomite… fly someday.
Dino/Dino… the Jurassic Park sex tape. Revealed.
I would throw in a reference to the Never Ending Story, but that would mostly translate to re-imagining a stringy, bony muscle-less bird thing into a giant nightmare-fuel Dog made out of balloons… And then the kid was an alien.
EDN.
Halo 3: Finish the Flight
