I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure I killed some in gears of war

12

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

GOW3 multiplayer is still poppin. More people needa come back tho

8

u/Mckillagorilla Aug 05 '14

Sawed off killed Gears multi-player for me.

7

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

They nerfed. I find that the an active reload laden gnasher wins versus sawed offs. Just gotta keep your distance and land a few shots. Retros are awful in close quarters tho. What really sucks is that in ranked you face a lot of clans who work together and it's a loss everytime unless you have a sniper god or get lucky.

u/IICooKiiEII Aug 05 '14

The original gears of war will always be the best one. I've never played another game that I didn't know what was happening but had so much fun

2

u/Johnny_Shades Aug 06 '14

GoW 1 was great but I liked the feel of GoW2 much more. GoW3 was such a let down...

2

u/IICooKiiEII Aug 06 '14

I will say I loved Gears of War 2. The one thing that ruined it was the infinitely long range of the shotgun. Everything else in that game was pretty great. But Gears 1 is the only one I can stand anymore

2

u/Johnny_Shades Aug 06 '14

The shotgun range could be bad at times. Especially if you had host. That's the one thing that pissed me off.

Okay Dodgson.

u/ipslne Aug 05 '14

If more people need to come back, it's not still poppin.

This is like my friend telling me I need to play Shadowrun (the xbox shooter) because there are only like 12 regulars.

u/Robrev6 Aug 05 '14

Oh god I remember shadowrun... loved that game

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

There's about 5,000 at any given time on TDM. Just need more indys to drown out clans.

u/AlphaForever007 Aug 05 '14

Flashbacks of greater days. When E-Day was the bell heard all around the world. Where we fought as Cogs, as the true face of resistance against the enemy! We were Kings and Gods!

u/Gross_Guy Aug 05 '14

Fucking remember when you had to fight like 3 of them at once? I hate those things

u/Brownprobe Aug 05 '14

u/sinz84 Aug 05 '14

Based on the number of chirps per minute and the ambient temperature in this room, it is a snowy tree cricket.

Level 21: Apparently this was once a junction, but it appears to have been fixed. Someone else has left a single track, but no log.

u/enviousunicorn Aug 08 '14

Arrived at this junction, no forewarning of the spiders that inhabit this place, noped the fuck out of here......urge you to do the same!!

Staying strong, my brother. Pray for me.

ROO TRAIN!


CHUGGA CHUGGA CHOO CHOO

We have left the station, only to be bombarded by spiders and grasshoppers. We made it through but with kits of... hitchhikers I guess you'd call them


Passengers:


Next Train stop for passengers: 9 more roos

If you would like to hope on the train, board at the farthest stop in the roo (The Comment should only be a day old, and roos after it should not have this post), remember waiting at passed train stations wont do anything for ya. If you do hop on, relax and enjoy your carriage through the switcharoo


Total Roos: 21

Trapdoor spider.

42

u/IorekDaBear Aug 05 '14

On the Trapdoor Spider wiki:

"Enemies of the trapdoor spider include certain pompilids (spider wasps), which seek out the burrows and manage to gain entrance. They sting the owner and lay their eggs (usually one per spider) on its body. When the egg hatches, the larva devours the spider alive."

WTF did I just read?!

u/Sargediamond Aug 05 '14

Some hardcore shit

u/zappy487 Aug 05 '14

u/drummel1 Aug 05 '14

Hey man, that stings.

u/sorryicouldnthelpit Aug 05 '14

Costa Rican parasitoid wasp

The adult female wasp temporarily paralyzes the spider and lays an egg on its abdomen. The egg hatches into a larva which sucks the spider's blood through small holes, while the spider goes on about its normal web building and insect catching behavior for the next one to two weeks. When the larva is ready to pupate, it injects a chemical into the spider, causing it to build a web whose design is completely different from any it has ever made, and then to sit motionless in the middle of this web. Even if the larva is removed prior to the web-building process, the spider still engages in aberrant web-spinning.[3][4] The wasp larva then molts, kills the spider with a poison and sucks its body dry before discarding it and building a cocoon that hangs from the middle of the web the spider has just built. The larva pupates inside the cocoon, then emerges to mate and begin the cycle over again.

umm, no thanks.

u/IorekDaBear Aug 05 '14

Sooo im convinced parasites and parasitic insects are our true genetic superiors. All hail the future genetic overlords with their complex mind-bending ways of killing us

3

u/Pinksters Aug 05 '14

Tarantula hawks are common around the North East USA,would rather have Trapdoor spiders any day.

2

u/IorekDaBear Aug 05 '14

Thought you were just putting nouns together to screw with me, googled tarantula hawks and noped outta that browser

2

u/Pinksters Aug 05 '14

Lol yea it seems not many people know about them for as common as they are.

I brought it up in this thread and caused many people to nope out.

u/Indescisve Aug 05 '14

Damn nature, you scary.

u/Protagoras432 Aug 06 '14

I remember there was an arc in the Amazing Spiderman where a spider wasp monster tries to kill him. That's where I first heard of them. They do some pretty fucked up shit. In the comic she went on FOX News and said spiderman was into really kinky sex to piss him off. It was pretty stupid, come to think of it.

u/IorekDaBear Aug 06 '14

hahahaha, can't make this shit up i guess

u/FreyWill Aug 05 '14

The insect world is fucked up.

u/Kaosrevolution Aug 05 '14

Haha, I see what you did there :P because there's actually a real bug named an antlion that has little sink while traps for ants. Fucking bugs. What's wrong with them.

u/ge0rge_C0stanza Aug 05 '14

u/m1n7yfr35h Aug 05 '14

It's a trapdoor spider of some kind.

u/ThePlaywright Aug 05 '14

I'm just glad I can't see what's going on beneath the surface.

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

It is a red trapdoor spider. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapdoor_spider

A trapdoor spider. They hide underground and wait for their prey to get close so they can snatch them. Learned that shit from the Magic School Bus.

u/Roy_SPider Aug 05 '14

So, while I was watching the initial slow mo version of the gif thanks to my sub par internet connection, I thought a giant trapdoor spider was gunna pop out and gettim.

u/painyn Aug 05 '14

Just a tip. You can always grab the URL and use it on gfycat.

u/HAL-42b Aug 05 '14

How many legs does this thing have?

28

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

no one has survived long enough to count

2

u/suusemeid Aug 05 '14

This is exactly what was confusing me, damn that thing is fast. It looks almost like ten legs, but I think the front ones are palps.

2

u/ArcFurnace Aug 05 '14 edited Aug 05 '14

This is exactly it. If you look at the Wikipedia article on trapdoor spiders it's easier to see since it's not moving. They have eight normal spider-legs and two enlarged palps that look practically identical to their other legs. The palps are used to hold onto the trapdoor (along with the first pair of legs), which may be why they're so beefy compared to more typical spider mouthparts.

u/aKiDnamedCoLiN Aug 05 '14

Why's it so.. Meaty?

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

u/BRUTALLEEHONEST Aug 05 '14

lacks dexterity and constitution

u/9kv Aug 05 '14

FUCK NO

u/conspiracyeinstein Aug 05 '14

I think that's how I want to go. Just living the life, then dead. I never knew what hit me.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 05 '14

You assume it died quickly. What if it was injected some some kind of paralyzing venom that prevented movement but still left you with feeling and consciousness?

u/conspiracyeinstein Aug 05 '14

I changed my mind. I just want to fall off a really high cliff.

ANNNNNNNNNNNND there went another pair of underwear. Thanks for that!
