Home HAHA Weird! updates

The Master Chief is really Stretch Armstrong!!!

     HAHA Weird!

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.]

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

@Bryan

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

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.

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

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

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

@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.
