Quantcast



 
I start things off this week with something mildly gaming related. The video above is an interview with Troy Hurtubise. For two years now, he has been making a suit of armor that has a very futuristic feel to it. This suit was mostly inspired by the battle suits from Star Wars and Halo. It's a very great concept and looks very slick too. I've always wanted to get the MJOLNIR armor one day, but I'd rather get The Trojan instead now.
 
On this edition of Weekend Destructainment, I bring to you 11 videos. We start off with a flash battle between Ryu and Scorpion, followed by a couple of videos about Hadokening, then a video of how video games teach people to fight, something called Spoo, a teaser to Half-Life 1 being remade with the Source engine, real life Tetris, Dane Cook in Halo 2, a great Garry's Mod, and a crazy ad for Dr. Mario

Ryu Vs Scorpion. It pretty much sucks, fyi. [Spotted on Endangered Gamer]

 
Hadoken Bros episode 1. What can I say? We love home made stuff like this here at Destructoid. Thanks YadGadge!
 
 
Hadoken Bros episode 2.  
 
 
"I learned how to fight through video games"
 
 
What the hell did I just watch? Something called Spoo invades Mario Bros ... [Spotted on Japanator
 
 
I think I'm the last person on the Internet to find out that Half-Life 1 is being remade using the Source engine by some hardcore fans. [Spotted on Kotaku]
 
 
It's Tetris recreated in real life by real people! [Spotted on Kotaku]
 
 
Dane Cook meets Halo 2. Thanks Stupid Dupid
  
 
The Garry's Mod house party. You just have to love what you can do with the G-Mod. [Spotted on Garry's Mod
 
 
Old school ad for Dr. Mario. Am I the only one who thinks of Pikmin when I see this ad? [Spotted on TechEBlog

That battle armor sure looks sweet but won't all the flashing lights and laser pointers give you away to the enemy?

It's cool that the guy making the armor consulted all those sources, but right now it doesn't seem practical at all. As far as the air conditioning goes, sure it might work for the head, but what about the rest of them?

That Bear Armor is ridiculous, but its probably a good idea.

lol now we too can have faceless soldiers with advanced armor. This is pretty cool.

The clock and lights are bit much though...

I'd like to see a ballistics test before its put into use. I always wanted to be an 80's version of the soldier of the future.

I recommend buying/renting/pirating the movie "Project Grizzly", about the guy who made that suit. It's funny and intriguing at the same time.

That "trojan" suit looks tacky as hell. Great concept, but he should make a more streamlined suit. All that extra kibble on there makes it looks rediculous.

By the way, with a name like Trojan, shouldn't there be at least a little latex on the thing? :)

That suit looks so stupid, nothing more than a movie prop.

That trojan suit is hilarious. The guy is so gung ho about the whole thing and the guy interviewing him is trying so hard not to laugh at him. "Are you looking at my clock?"

Ryu v. Scorpion video is sw33t...

Until we have personal shields that can deflect bullets, there is high chance our future solders will be encased in armor. But that guy is an insane hobbyist, the clocks location (read: LAME JOKE) is a prime example as to why this exact suit (and any from him) will not be used.

Its a joke. Its bulky. And God knows the US army already has stuff like this in the works.
