OK, so maybe he isn't really Stretch Armstrong*, but thanks to this nifty bug, he might as well be. Teh awesome Tehuberone showed me a couple of pictures of the Chief all stretch liked one day while showing off his stats in Halo 3. Yes, I get it Tehuberone, you're awesome, leave me alone!

So how does one make the Master Chief into the super hero Stretch Armstrong? Why it's quite simple really! Just let a Scarab step on you! That's it. As soon as that happens, the Chief gets stretchy and is sent miles in to the air. Now why couldn't a glitch like this happen in the Dead or Alive games?

[*Editor's note: If you don't know who Stretch Armstrong is, then you're obviously not a 90's child. It also means that you don't deserve my respek.]

Only on Destructoid, heh.

<3

Suddenly, there's a slight chance I will buy Halo 3.

A New Challenger

Haha, I hope they never fix this. You can always delete the save file if they do, I suppose.

tehuberone

No lie. Was nuts.

topgeargorilla

when you rip apart a stretch armstrong, icky brown goo comes out.

what was the name of his nemesis that looked like he had a really bad rash?

Knives

So Master Chief's true identity is either Stretch Armstrong, Mr. Fantastic or Plastic Man?

The Grudge

I remembers stretch. I killed him accidentally and cried as his brown sticky blood oozed out.

vexed alex

Ah, the memories.

Upgrayedd

Weird. also respek.

pancakes mcgee

stretch armstrong has been around since the seventies. i'd be more dissapointed if someone didn't know about wrestling buddies.

Ron, go back to bed. It's not good for old people to be up this late.

Also, you need to be at Buddy Freddy's as soon as it opens.

Sharpless

Bwahaha. I would so love it if this was intentional. They should've had him pull a Wile E. Coyote and flatten like a pancake.

Bryan-

I brought my Stretch Armstrong to school for Show and Tell one day... A fat black girl sat on my backpack and completely ruined it. His arms were leaking goo and I never got another one.

Fading Star

Stretchy Chief...excellent.

Make hi-res prints and you have an art show. Rag doll physics meet the surreal movement.

Geoff

stretch armstrong oh my god <3

MrFudge

@Bryan

How the hell can a fat girl break a Stretch Armstrong? Did her ass conceal hidden claws?

Kalmah

LOL @ pancakes mcgee-- I remember those! They were so awesome, even though after a while you would get tired of them repeating the same things over and over again... or sometimes they would speak at random like they had minds of their own and wanted to smuggle me with a pillow.

Husky Hog

woot, dtoid has the first glitch 8)

LarkOhiya

What? now Uber is too lazy to write his own blogs?

tehuberone

lol Lark I was gonna write it up but Hamsa liked it.

Rainbowblack

I saw a community screenshot this morning with chief head stetching away from his body after getting blasted. neat stuff i might have to watch more of my videos to see how often this happens.

Mxyzptlk

@ topgeargorilla: I believe you're thinking of Stretch Monster.

atheistium

stretch armstrong was so awesome, i remember someone having one of those at school. I really wanted to play with it but someone else broke it.... lol.

GENACON

I miss my Stretch Armstrong, To fill the void i had to buy a Mr Fantastic.

I HAD to...

Teta

They introduced the glitch on the game, so they can release their new toy line:
Stretch ArmsChief

Necros

I'd totally buy a toy Stretch ArmChief.

Faraday

hah, i've had that happen to me on gears a few times as well.

brad drac

->topgeargorilla: That would be vac man. Main problem with him is the goddamn pump was flimsy as bejaysus.

TwilightLouis

"what was the name of his nemesis that looked like he had a really bad rash?"

I think it was Vac-Man. Or something like that.
I had one of those, he was so cool.

Bryan-

@MrFudge

Well, when she sat on my backpack, a book corner jammed against it I suppose. That's the only rational explanation for the most traumatic event in my life.
