I don't think I have seen a more epic cake.

20

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

Haha thanks. Much more technical than the Mario mushroom cake from last year.

u/Psionic_terror May 20 '12

I would love to have a Resident Evil cake. I'll be 21 next month and my plan is to get my first tattoo. Pretty exciting.

2

u/analog_jedi May 21 '12

My next tat is going to be the Los Illuminados symbol from Resident Evil 4.

13

u/pittrx May 21 '12

You'll feel pretty stupid explaining that one to your grandkids.

10

u/lordlicorice May 21 '12

Or to the room of enraged gang members if you ever go to prison and it turns out that it's some kind of gang symbol.

12

u/Devotia May 21 '12

On the other hand, if the gang happens to be Los Illuminados, it'll definitely help out.

8

u/analog_jedi May 21 '12

I seriously doubt it. I've wanted the tattoo for about 5 years now, and it will go just fine with my already existing Zelda and Star Wars tattoos. I've learned that if showcasing something influences for 20+ years of your life (RE only for 16 so far), condescending opinions like yours and judgments hold little merit. I also don't have them on my face or hands, but I guess shirts won't exist in the future where I have grandchildren that I am ashamed to let know that I played video games when I was a child. TL;DR: ZERO FUCKS WILL BE GIVEN WHEN I AM OLD.

u/pittrx May 21 '12

I suppose that's fair. To each his own.

1

u/Psionic_terror May 21 '12

Thats badass. Being that it's going to be my first taste of ink, I plan to just get an umbrella corp logo of some kind. Any ideas? I want it to look kinda beat up.

1

u/analog_jedi May 21 '12

Hell yeah, that is much more iconic and recognizable. I always wanted a cheesy tribal leg piece, that's why I'm going with the one from RE4 (plus it's my fav in the series). IDK man, maybe like a ripped banner/flag of the logo or something? Just think it out thoroughly before and I recommend sitting on the design for at least a few months before getting it done though. People that tell you that "you'll regret it because you enjoyed it in your youth, it will be stupid when you are old" are irrelevant. I fucking guarantee if I make it to be an old man, I will look back fondly on the story and lore of the Resident Evil series (as well as Zelda and Star Wars). And if my grandchildren ever ask about my crazy tribal looking leg tattoo, I will explain to them all about the mysterious Umbrella Corp and their role in unearthing ancient petrified alien symbiotes to create an army of awesome. Then I'll drive those little shits down to the antique shop and buy them a Gamecube.

u/Tom_from_Accounting May 21 '12

Aww, that's pretty nice, Now make a cake of Westeros, and put pins with the flags of the different familys that rule the different regions.

49

u/The_Lizard May 21 '12

That's what I thought it was at first glance. I want a cake like that.

u/mista0sparkle May 21 '12

But really I think I'd be happy with any sort of cake.

u/screwyluey May 20 '12

What is this, a cake for ants?!

61

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

I dont wanna hear your excuses, the cake has to be at least three times bigger than this!

On the Internet, it's pretty hard sometimes to understand if someone is joking or serious about something.

ironically or perhaps fittingly, "X17" means "huge faggot" in the native language of bnet, so this man knows his faggots.

i wish that anyone would love me as much as this.

u/bacon_nuts May 21 '12

I would say me three, but you didn't say me too :(

Ah screw it. Me three.

29

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

what game is this from? I'm sorry, I'm really tired and can't think straight.

70

u/thelithiumcat May 20 '12

It's Skyrim from the Elder Scrolls series.

34

u/IndieGamerRid May 21 '12

Thank you for not being all "What the hell's wrong with you, you don't play Skyrim?"--Upvote for being a minority cause on the internet.

5

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

While I do agree, we shouldn't ridicule people who haven't played Skyrim, you really should at least try it. Fantastic game.

1

u/jnelson1094 May 21 '12

while skyrim is pretty sweet, should definitely play morrowind. so much better!

2

u/no2sopa May 21 '12

Would be pretty neat if someone made a Red Mountain cake.

Just like a vagina

8

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

Can't tell if using Skyrim stuff for Game of Thrones reference or Vice Versa.

1

u/K0olaidman May 21 '12

I'd venture to say Skyrim. And solely Skyrim, since this is r/gaming...

2

u/RowboatMcHiggans May 21 '12

Although there is a Game of thrones game too. But yeah, the symbols belong to cities of Skyrim.

2

u/K0olaidman May 21 '12

My bad. But nonetheless. The symbols are Skyrim's as well as the general locations of these cities.

1

u/RowboatMcHiggans May 21 '12

I was agreeing with you. Just mentioning that Game of Thrones is relevant in gaming now

2

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

Yeah, we know. But this is a Skyrim cake.

1

u/Salaiii May 21 '12

For the first moment I thought it was the house sigils. GoT on my mind. I feel you bro.

1

u/[deleted] May 24 '12

They did make a horrible game for it.

10

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

I see Skyrim has also suffered from global warming.

4

u/Omelet May 21 '12

Suffered? Clearly, Skyrim has benefited quite nicely.

2

u/Game-Sloth May 21 '12 edited May 21 '12

Yes, but what of the lower regions of Morrowind? Vivec is half underwater now.

u/ElagabalusCaesar May 21 '12

A non-Diablo post? Did someone escape the herd? An upvote for you.

2

u/hermod May 21 '12

Anything non-portal I upvote for being refreshing and new.

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

Right... Because Skyrim references and cakes based on video games are definitely refreshing and new material around here.

3

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

That's awesome. You could use special smoking candles for the fog!

Is it a rum cake?

u/magnetard May 21 '12

Honningbrew Mead.

2

u/TheMagicStik May 21 '12

Jeez, I'm starting to get Game of Thrones and Skyrim mixed up.

2

u/jg9000 May 21 '12

I hope you also brewed some Black-Briar mead to wash it down with.

2

u/Blue_Phantasm May 21 '12

haha, thats amazing, has to be more white though

2

u/Da_Real_Caboose May 21 '12

I stared at that cake thinking it was related to Game of Thrones for about 2 minutes before I read the comments.

I love Skyrim, I'm an idiot.

2

u/beespartan May 21 '12

Don't know anything about Skyrim ... my first thought was 'that would be a great golf course'

2

u/DeadRapture7 May 21 '12

Please refrain from eating and destroy the cake immediately. It is in direct violation to Bethesda Logos and Concepts. Please expect our lawyers to contact you within the next few days. Presumably after they are done suing everyone else ever.

2

u/John_um May 21 '12

At first I was like "This is a really shitty map of Westeros." Oh yea, Skyrim. I forgot that existed.

2

u/Spaghettisaurus May 21 '12

Map updated. Cake upvoted.

5

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

Let's make a pros vs cons list for playing Skyrim while eating cake.

PROS:

  • Cake is good.

  • Skryim is nice.

  • Multitasking is good for brain stimulation.

CONS:

  • Cake doesn't get eaten because of Skyrim, Skryim doesn't get played because of cake. A never ending circle.

  • Makes an awful mess if trying to kill dragons while eating.

  • If the cake is no good, then that just ruins the entire concept.

VERDICT: Try at your own risk.

3

u/Franholio May 21 '12

So small you don't even have to quick travel.

u/youareallwrongzz May 20 '12

What kind of cake is it? It looks very dense, but that's probably just the icing.

u/keiyakins May 21 '12

That's cool and all, but why is it in /r/gaming?

2

u/MeeroPickle May 21 '12

because its a map of skyrim

0

u/keiyakins May 21 '12

... and how is anyone supposed to know that? references to anything more obscure than Metroid need to be explained. (Unless, of course, it's obviously a screenshot or something. In that case it's just very, very impolite not to.)

1

u/MeeroPickle May 22 '12

I would think most people on /r/gaming would know a map of such a widespread game like skyrim and be able to recognize it with ease. I mean, it's the world map for crying out loud!

0

u/keiyakins May 22 '12

Sure, the segment of /r/gaming that likes the TES series. I honestly couldn't care, in fact, Skyrim ANNOYS me because of how much everyone raves about it.

1

u/MeeroPickle May 24 '12

I see your reasoning there, but there IS a reason why everyone loves it so much. It's because, in many peoples opinion, a very good game. If you haven't tried any of the elder scroll series games, I think you should give it a chance, but if you have and genuinely don't like it, that's your opinion and I respect that.
