Spartan

Filed under: Fan stuff, Videos It’s Saturday and we’re feeling really, really, really random today. So random, that after browsing the interwebs and coming across a video that blends two of our favorite forms of entertainment, we just had to share. Embedded above is the intro from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air recreated in full Halo [...]

Spartan: Total Warrior is a spin-off hack and slash action game developed by Creative Assemble and published by Sega. It is the first spin-off game of the Total War series. The game was released on 24 October, 2005 and is available for PlayStation 2, Xbox and Nintendo Game Cube. Spartan: Total Warrior comes in a single player mode only. Obviously all games of the Total War series focus on historical and legendry scenarios but Spartan: Total Warrior takes this approach bit further. It is more close to God of War because it is more liberal in its approach to history and legendry. In Spartan: Total Warrior, Player takes the role of the Spartan Warrior who fights against the ills of Roman Empire, guided by Ares. He has to go through 14 different levels in the game and allies with Greeks to acc

The game achieved both critical acclaim and financial success, selling more than 6 million copies worldwide. The Spartans are highly trained warriors. Although individually less powerful than the Master Chief, an army of Spartans is a lethal force. Unique to HALO 3 are the alternate armor and helmet styles worn by these soldiers.

Straight out of the hit video game series and into an articulated action figure form, the Halo 3 Series 1 features all your favorite characters in high detail. Each includes multiple points of articulation and comes with signature weapons.Ready for battle, this Spartan Soldier?s helmet is interchangeable with other Spartan figures, sold separately. He features 18 points of articulation and comes with an assault rifle and grenades. Measures 5" tall.

Ok so this may have been one of the worst intro’s to a game in history. I guess this was the Senators way of trying to motivate the team but instead it just turned out to be unbelievably embarrassing for the Sens and for hockey in general. Terrible idea, annoying actor, ill-fitting helmet, microphone [...]

By Sayed IslamIn honor of the 300 DVD coming out today, here is a review of 300 to coincide with the DVD release. What better movie to review than 300? The epic and stunning film is based on Frank Miller‘s graphic novel. Although it is loosely based on the rivalry between the Persians and the Greeks in 480 BC, it is more based on Frank Miller’s interpretation of their feud. King Leonidas (leader of the Greeks) is as inspiring as any brilliant leader. The motion picture begins by accentuating the long and arduous process that young Spartan boys have to endure. In Sparta, boys were raised essentially at birth to become killing machines. If a Spartan baby boy was perceived to be inferior, then he was literally discarded.As 300 progresses, Xerxes sends a Persian messenger to Sparta and asks for King Leonidas to surrender. That is not the Spartan way; the Spartan way is to “Never retreat, never surrender.” Insulted by the notion that King Leonidas and Sparta will be slaves under Xer

Aquí un método casero de ejercicios (porque ahora sí, no todo se trata de tecnología), en donde este sujeto, con los ejercicios dados, logró convertirse del típico “geek” a, pues, uno de esos tantos soldados spartanos. Ahora que empezó a acercarse la cuenta regresiva para el verano, no estaría mal probar su técnica, no? Mucho más creíble, eso sí, que otros métodos porque, bueno, se nota que con esta rutina uno si termina matado, pero hey, siempre es bueno ir mezclando el trabajo de oficina, con un poco de ejercicios. Y juzgando por la cantida de repeticiones y ejercicios, no creo que tarde muchos meses. Video: via digg Compártelo!

Ok, so despite other sites implying this to be Master Chief, the video (and picture above) were made playing the Halo 3 multiplayer beta. Since the Master Chief character is only playable during single player campaign the face we see underneath the helmet is most likely Spartan. The video clocks in at a long 3 minutes 49 seconds, kind of long since you will see everything during the first minute. Discuss in forum (0) Share This

The spirit of the 300 Spartans just will not die! All over the web pictures of Gerard Butler’s screaming face has been plastered on images. So I thought I’d add one of the funniest I’ve seen, Caution! This is Sparta. We actually set one of those up at work, but had Caution! Break Dancing. And then there [...]

Check out this technological marvel...or not. I just stumbled upon this and had to share it. Above is an excerpt from the documentary "Project Grizzly." A movie where Troy Hurtubise documented the creation of his bear protection suit. Now he has moved on and is apparently the next Dr. Catherine Halsey of the Halo Universe. Check out these pictures of his latest set of armor, "The Trojan" ...obviously inspired by Halo's Spartans and their MJOLNIR Mark Armor. Supposedly, it can actually withstand bullets and knives. Hurtubise hopes to peddle the suit of armor to police forces and the military. It has some practical features...though no shield generator. Such features include a built in canteen and water system, a solar powered fresh air system, a built in recording device, a laser pointer, and other compartments to hold morphine, a knife, etc. It all only weighs 18 kilograms and Hurtubise says the armor can be mass produced for $2,000, so will we see our modern-day police officers and
