The Many Rocks of Video Games

It’s amazing how different even a lowly rock can appear depending on the video game genre. Also I couldn’t resist, I added the TF2 one myself. :D

    The Half-Life one looks fine to me.

    What, hadn't you heard? Real is brown.

  2. Jackthehedgy on June 29th, 2010 10:53 pm

    what about rockman?

    That sounded better in my head.

  3. Coodoo on June 29th, 2010 10:56 pm

    I noticed this site likes puns. Might I try my hand?
    Ahem.
    Rock on!

    Hmhm… Yes…

  4. thunder_storm on June 29th, 2010 11:03 pm

    >examine rock

    "it's a rock, you idiot"

    zork made me lol

  5. M4DD4WG on June 29th, 2010 11:05 pm

    This submissions ROCKS!

  6. OrionX on June 29th, 2010 11:07 pm

    Sadly, it's lacking some bloom.

  7. DrRickRollins on June 29th, 2010 11:08 pm

    I expected the tf2 one to be a spy with a rock mask on

  8. tveye on June 29th, 2010 11:08 pm

    REAL LIFE: The color of shit

    I'd play it.

  9. Link4all on June 29th, 2010 11:12 pm

    Whoever made this was pretty stoned.

  10. MrRaccoon on June 29th, 2010 11:14 pm

    Doom: The sad part is that's very accurate
    VJ: LOOK AT THIS MOTHERFUCKING ROCK!

  11. GullibleGregory on June 29th, 2010 11:21 pm

    This submission just rocked my world…i think i need to get stoned and rest on some bedrock

  12. Zdude140 on June 29th, 2010 7:26 pm

    Looks like its time to…

    *Puts on sun glasses*

    Rock'n Roll

    YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  13. Zdude140 on June 29th, 2010 11:32 pm

    I don't know, I'd probably play it for an hour or so, then use a game genie or something. Infinate strength, press L to levitate, you know, that sort of stuff.

  14. Caelun_Niveus on June 29th, 2010 11:35 pm

    Those five rocks in Nethack would probably kill you… or all be loadstones, that kill you when you walk down the stairs carrying them.

    Would you like your possessions identified [y/n]?

  15. truegentleman on June 29th, 2010 11:42 pm

    I'm not stoned enough to appreciate this.

  16. DrRickRollins on June 29th, 2010 11:49 pm

    OMG A GIANT ROCK….OMG ANOTHER GIANT ROCK

  17. LeoTheProdigy on June 29th, 2010 7:50 pm

    Looks like this submission…
    *sunglasses*
    Rocks.

    YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    EDIT: Someone beat me to it… but I added CSI!

  18. DrSexington on June 30th, 2010 12:02 am

    Lol, penis rock

  19. Gaytits on June 30th, 2010 12:12 am

    BUT IT WASN'T A ROCK

  20. VideoGameGeek on June 30th, 2010 12:19 am

    >Duke Nukem

    ;_;

  21. Link4all on June 30th, 2010 12:22 am

    Also my +47 comment made me pass 69.

  22. AreUExperienced on June 29th, 2010 8:30 pm

    Hmm…
    I sense a troll among us.

  23. Marzen on June 30th, 2010 12:30 am

    Don't make me stone you to death.

  24. Lord Grammar Nazi on June 30th, 2010 12:32 am

    I smell a troll…

  25. MasterLuigi452 on June 30th, 2010 12:32 am

    Now do it to me?
    Damn I can't remember how to use HTML for this…
    Any clues anyone?

  26. Roflcopter419 on June 29th, 2010 8:35 pm

    Been here for a while. Just fix what you can and try to ignore it.

  27. By-Tor on June 30th, 2010 12:37 am

    Lesson? Real Life is boring, and it's graphics suck. Needs more bloom.

  28. Weibbles on June 30th, 2010 12:37 am

    What no The Rock jokes yet? Seriously? I refuse to let that happen.
    At least none of them are bending over for Disney.

  29. tveye on June 30th, 2010 12:44 am

    Who the fuck keeps voting people down? It's counter-productive. The more people who get voted down, the more I'm gonna vote up.

  30. AreUExperienced on June 30th, 2010 12:58 am

    I got a rock.

  31. OrionX on June 30th, 2010 1:08 am

    This is probably the one place on the internet where feeding the trolls means they lose. Because we just undo all their "work" and then some.

    Applying +1's…

  32. Tifakitteh on June 30th, 2010 1:09 am

    Sad rock is sad.
    What, you can't see it's frowny face?

    Also many quoted or mentioned it, but REAL IS BROWN!

  33. Miketuu on June 30th, 2010 1:23 am

    I couldn't stop laughing at Zork 1.

  34. PewnyPL on June 29th, 2010 9:32 pm

    you mean images?
    < img src="adress" >

  35. Techercizer on June 30th, 2010 1:33 am

    It's great to see the world's number 1 Hat Themed War-based Simulator in the lineup!

  36. True Hate on June 30th, 2010 1:34 am

    I didn't do it this time! I just go there!

    No seriously, I didn't do it. Stop accusing me.

  37. True Hate on June 30th, 2010 1:39 am

    I didn't do it this time. I swear. The other trolls are doing it.

  38. True Hate on June 30th, 2010 1:39 am

    I'm not the only one who noticed.

  39. spaghettiweegee on June 30th, 2010 1:46 am

    These puns are groan inducing. I can fix that with some SURGERY.

  40. spaghettiweegee on June 30th, 2010 1:49 am

    Well, I clicked over to Halolz after returning home for the day, only to be… Wait for it… ROCK-ROLL'D.

  41. jrharbort on June 30th, 2010 1:55 am

    The rock for Crysis isn't there because it would look exactly the same as the normal rock. People would get confused.

  42. VideoGameGeek on June 30th, 2010 1:59 am

    IT'S A STONE SHAUN. YOU DIDN'T EDIT IT.

  43. MrRaccoon on June 30th, 2010 2:02 am

    REAL SHIT: The color of life

    I'd play it.
    With a stick :D

  44. Cypher on June 30th, 2010 2:04 am

    God damnit, that friggin' rock has more hats than I have.

  45. Alpar on June 30th, 2010 2:13 am

    Notice how the real life rock looks exactly like the Halo one.

  46. Alpar on June 29th, 2010 10:19 pm

    SoapDISH! Will you forGET about the stupid pioneers?! Have you noticed there are none left? That's because they started flame wars, danced with the trolls, overused memes, and now you're telling me, they can DRIVE-

    *Splat*

  47. Alpar on June 30th, 2010 2:20 am

    Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged reference.

    I see what you did there.

  48. Alpar on June 30th, 2010 2:20 am

    Control stick?

  49. Alpar on June 29th, 2010 10:22 pm

    VideoGameGeek..there's something I have to tell you…

    EDIT: Seriously, why are there so many -1 trolls nowadays? Do they have nothing better to do?

  50. Alpar on June 30th, 2010 2:22 am

    It was obvious! He's the RED Spy!

  51. Alpar on June 30th, 2010 2:22 am

    *Looks*

    I hate you.

  52. Alpar on June 30th, 2010 2:23 am

    Broken link.

  53. MrRaccoon on June 30th, 2010 2:27 am

    IT WAS A ROCK LOBSTER!

  54. BlazingBlur on June 30th, 2010 2:41 am

    Looks like…
    *puts on shades*
    These games ROCK
    YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!
    (Not really all of them, just a few)

  55. IndianCHAN on June 30th, 2010 2:44 am

    Image didn't load for me, probably my failputer though.

  56. IndianCHAN on June 30th, 2010 2:44 am

    God dammit, I can't +1 this enough.

  57. Psychopatrick88 on June 30th, 2010 2:48 am

    Heh… haven't seen a joke involving Jet Set Radio Future here before. Freakin awesome.

  58. BlazingBlur on June 30th, 2010 2:53 am

    That rocks own more hats then I do. Now I'm feeling a little shitty, I'm off to play TF2…

  59. Miles on June 30th, 2010 3:06 am

    Now do it to me.

  60. Alpar on June 30th, 2010 3:10 am

    Screw the giant rocks, I have green hair!

    Happy?

  61. Ivan102 on June 30th, 2010 3:12 am

    This Is The Most Stupid Submission I Ever Love, Unless Someone Has Anything Better; LETS ROCK!

  62. Miles on June 30th, 2010 3:14 am

    Maybeh.

  63. Daifuku on June 30th, 2010 3:18 am

    He meant his "joy" stick.

  64. Daifuku on June 30th, 2010 3:22 am

    GRAMMAR HAMMER!!!

    *Shawn.

  65. Nick Soapdish on June 30th, 2010 3:24 am

    THERE GOES A SEA ROBIN!

  66. Daifuku on June 30th, 2010 3:39 am

    Half Life rock mocks Far Cry rock.
    Doom rock needs a flashlight.
    Far Cry rock is emo over Half Life rock's gloating.
    Zelda rock doesn't need graphics. It has art style.
    Jet Set rock is happy it is finally remembered.
    Wolfenstein rock wishes anti-aliasing was invented.
    Silent Hill rock is too good for your colors.
    Quake rock has the best engine. Too bad it's graphics suck.
    Shadow rock wishes it could have killed that stupid kid to start with. Now it's rubble.
    Battlezone rock still can't understand the concept of more than 4 vectors.
    NetHack rock is too hardcore for the other rocks.
    Viewtiful Joe rock has art style AND special effects! Eat it Zelda rock.
    Asteroids rock hates spaceships
    Halo 2 rock is secretly gay for Half Life 2 rock, but won't admit it.
    Katamari rock is too stoned on art style.
    Duke Nukem rock is still waiting for a job in Duke Nukem Forever.
    Jojo rock lieks color inversion
    Gameboy rock is now portable!
    Zork rock has been eaten by a grue.
    Team Fortress rock can't hear you over how awesome it's hats are.
    Super Mario rock demands to be in the next Smash Bros.

  67. Daifuku on June 30th, 2010 3:55 am

    Except Real Life rock has better Anti-aliasing.

  68. Vosur on June 30th, 2010 4:03 am

    http://www.instantsfun.es/csi ((If it doesn't work, use Ctrl+F5 on that page))

    Now go and spread the wealth.

  69. Vosur on June 30th, 2010 4:05 am

    Seems like if it looks like it's broken, use Ctrl+F5, and as for this one, click on the picture and hold.

  70. Hakokoro on June 30th, 2010 4:09 am

    Video game is art

  71. ArmyOfMidgets on June 30th, 2010 4:44 am

    You win, forever.

  72. Arch_Evil_Angel on June 30th, 2010 5:07 am

    The TF2 rock should have been a Spy with a rock mask on. Other than that, hilarious pic.

  73. Arch_Evil_Angel on June 30th, 2010 5:09 am

    This comment definitely doesn't deserve such a low score. Bloody trolls. +1 for you.

  74. DrRickRollins on June 30th, 2010 5:42 am

    the sun would be up in a few hours!

  75. Xyxoz on June 30th, 2010 5:50 am

    …ow…

  76. Master_Vir on June 30th, 2010 2:32 am

    Next major update after the Engineer update: the Map Hats update.

    Every map gets its own hats. RED base on 2fort gets a giant Brigade Helm and BLU base gets a giant Officer's Ushanka. Rocks, barrels, crates, the 2fort cow, and even the Well train will become gentlemenne of leisure. Hats are also placed on the ground as part of the scenery.

    And of course the classes will get 2 new hats each. One of them being a bow for the Pyro.

  77. Miles on June 30th, 2010 7:11 am

    I think you mean….
    In another few hours, the sun will rise.

  78. Miles on June 30th, 2010 7:17 am

    See? Red!

  79. Miles on June 30th, 2010 7:19 am

    It's an accurate TF2 representation!
    It's even got official headwear!

  80. Dimomarg on June 30th, 2010 7:45 am

    Shadow of the colossus rock needs more "Dramatic" Darkening.

  81. DrRickRollins on June 30th, 2010 8:39 am

    Yes…it's been a while since I heard Tristian's original voice, it's not my fault! *sheds manly tears!*

  82. LeoTheProdigy on June 30th, 2010 11:07 am

    It's not, though.

  83. LeoTheProdigy on June 30th, 2010 12:08 pm

    Me neither.
    Try this.

  84. LeoTheProdigy on June 30th, 2010 12:10 pm

    JET SET RAAADI- uh, I mean, JET SET ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK!

  85. LeoTheProdigy on June 30th, 2010 12:11 pm

    I am disappoint, Alpar. I thought I explained this to you on two separate occasions.

  86. Missinko009 on June 30th, 2010 12:17 pm

    I like rocks, boulders, & cleavage as much as the next guy, but I'll take companion cube ANY day.

  87. Alpar on June 30th, 2010 12:19 pm

    Two? I only remember one.

    And screw it. I'm not going back a bunch of submissions/pages on my IntenseDebate just to find instructions on how to-

    ….Leo, you might be looking up to Lute a bit too much.

  88. Alpar on June 30th, 2010 12:23 pm

    Well, maybe it's my computer then.

  89. Daifuku on June 30th, 2010 1:01 pm

    I played that game as Jet Grind Radio on the Dreamcast. Such a great game. Too bad the Dreamcast died.

  90. LeoTheProdigy on June 30th, 2010 1:20 pm

    Dreamcast was win.

  91. LeoTheProdigy on June 30th, 2010 1:27 pm

    Thank you, but it's no big deal.

  92. LeoTheProdigy on June 30th, 2010 9:36 am

    U MAD?

    On a side note, a large number of people seem to be -1ing IndianCHAN…

  93. Daifuku on June 30th, 2010 2:05 pm

    Apparently not.

  94. Alpar on June 30th, 2010 2:43 pm

    Idoun, Haruhi, and Miku want attention too you know.

  95. Miles on June 30th, 2010 3:11 pm

    Oh, ok, cool.

  96. LeoTheProdigy on June 30th, 2010 3:44 pm

    Actually, I really can't stand Miku at all. I really don't understand how a voice program with no anime roots became so popular.

  97. True Hate on June 30th, 2010 4:32 pm

    Don't accuse me! I took the day off on this one!

  98. True Hate on June 30th, 2010 4:32 pm

    On a backwards note, I'm not doing it!

  99. LeoTheProdigy on June 30th, 2010 6:30 pm

    Not on your own, at least… There were, like, 5 people.

  100. Alpar on June 30th, 2010 6:38 pm

    Wouldn't that just count as "not being able to stand the fans" then?

  101. IndianCHAN on June 30th, 2010 8:02 pm

    Tis' because I'm Indian, sir.

  102. IndianCHAN on June 30th, 2010 8:03 pm

    lol'd at how the removal of a backslash fixed it.

  103. LeoTheProdigy on June 30th, 2010 8:14 pm

    And her voice pierces my eardrums.

  104. misfitshadow on June 30th, 2010 8:16 pm

    this submission seems a little rocky

  105. AreUExperienced on June 30th, 2010 8:56 pm

    It truly amazes me that a reference to SpongeBob has become one of the highest-rated comments in the history of Halolz.

  106. Cypher on June 30th, 2010 9:13 pm

    It only gives me more motivation to craft my own hat!

  107. Alpar on June 30th, 2010 5:34 pm

    But then what was with the whole "How dare they do that to Miku" thing?

  108. Miles on June 30th, 2010 10:24 pm

    Wait, Alpar!
    Are you on Firefox?

  109. LeoTheProdigy on June 30th, 2010 10:26 pm

    I forgot for a second that nothing is sacred when it comes to the internet. I thought maybe Volcaloid would be safe… guess I was wrong.

  110. Miles on June 30th, 2010 10:26 pm

    Well, you see, when 2 people meet on the internets, fall in love, and f*** each other's brains out in a motel in Pittsburg, they give birth to a noob. If the people of the internets don't care for that noob, the noob evolves into a troll. If the noob is raised right, he becomes a member of internets society…..
    Or something like that. That's what Wolf told me.

  111. Miles on June 30th, 2010 10:27 pm

    Emergency +1s are here!

  112. Miles on June 30th, 2010 10:29 pm

    It's ok, it's ok.
    You just need to watch YGOTAS more

  113. Daifuku on June 30th, 2010 10:30 pm

    Too bad he can't let you know that, truth.

  114. Miles on June 30th, 2010 10:31 pm

    Hey, Alpar, you ok? Cause if not, there's a bar I know of that can fix your problem…
    http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/...

  115. Miles on June 30th, 2010 11:07 pm

    On a side note…
    HOLY SH*T 68 epeen! A few more +1s and then I can play the Final Fantasy Victory fanfare and get a top hat and monocle! :D

  116. Alpar on June 30th, 2010 11:11 pm

    Thankfully I already don't remember any of this.

    I call FF Victory Fanfare. I'll play it when we celebrate. Just remind me.

  117. Miles on June 30th, 2010 11:11 pm

    Good point.
    Or maybe, he couldn't let himself lie to me…..
    Not sure…

  118. Miles on June 30th, 2010 11:13 pm

    Thanks.
    And who do I go to for the top hat and monocle?

  119. Alpar on June 30th, 2010 11:15 pm

    Ask Badonk or TCC on DeviantArt or something.

  120. Alpar on June 30th, 2010 11:16 pm

    Not even the RNG Goddess can change that.

  121. Miles on July 1st, 2010 12:17 am

    Thanks

  122. LeoTheProdigy on July 1st, 2010 1:55 am

    It shouldn't, I know.

  123. Miles on July 1st, 2010 2:14 am

    I'm at 69! :D :D :D!!!!
    Quick! Play the FF Victory Fanfare! :D

  124. Nick Soapdish on July 1st, 2010 2:26 am
  125. Alpar on July 1st, 2010 2:29 am

    No. Save it for a more public comment where everyone can see.

  126. Miles on July 1st, 2010 2:33 am

    Ok.
    Also, nobody +1 me unless a troll attacks

  127. Alpar on July 1st, 2010 2:38 am

    There. I celebrated on the Nope submission.

    Go nao.

  128. IndianCHAN on July 1st, 2010 7:48 am

    I can't tell if you're Crysis fanboy'ing or not.

  129. Miles on July 1st, 2010 10:47 am

    Someone said something about Haruhi?

  130. Miles on July 1st, 2010 10:48 am

    I did, thank you.
    And we were Troll'd

  131. Miles on July 1st, 2010 10:49 am

    THE TROLLS ARE ATTACKING!
    We need a spy!

  132. Miles on July 1st, 2010 10:52 am

    And I was just trolled!
    How could this get any worse?
    Toad: Thank you Miles, but our princess is in another castle!
    Miles: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
    Old man: It's dangerous to go alone, take this!
    Miles: Take wh-*backstabbed*
    Spy with Old Man mask: I never really was on your side.

  133. LeoTheProdigy on July 1st, 2010 7:47 am

    Ashunera. Or Lute, I really don't know which one.

    On a side note, yesterday I just realized that my favorite character in Soul Calibur is voiced by Wendee Lee (the voice of Haruhi).

  134. Miles on July 1st, 2010 1:25 pm

    Awesome.
    I just realized that Ryu isn't cheap even though Ken is and they have the exact same moveset

  135. Alpar on July 1st, 2010 2:19 pm

    Fixed.

  136. Miles on July 1st, 2010 4:06 pm

    Well, now we know how the SoapDish thinks.

  137. dope92 on July 1st, 2010 6:34 pm

    no wait… thats blood.

  138. bradley on July 12th, 2010 1:43 pm

    Pun intended?

  139. bradley on July 12th, 2010 1:44 pm

    This picture ROCKs
