Will it Blend beats Halo 3... by blending it

by Scott Jon Siegel { Dec 7th 2007 at 7:30AM }

It's a fact: most of life's problems can be solved by blending (or, was that bending?). Either way, Tom Dickson of "Will it Blend" fame has apparently been playing Halo 3 with his grandchildren, and getting his ass skillfully handed to him. His solution? Take their copy of Halo 3 and blend it. Gee, you're a helluva guy, Tom.

Of course this video raises some obvious questions. Why wouldn't you just blend the case too? Wouldn't it be cooler to blend the Collector's or Legendary Editions? And, perhaps most importantly, why is Tom playing an M-rated game with his 4 and 5-year old grandchildren? That knock on the door, Tom? It's everybody's favorite attorney.

He needs to blend up MARIO & SONIC AT THE OLYMPICS and SOULCALIBUR LEGENDS while he's at it. I'm glad I rented them instead of purchasing... what a waste of nearly $20(yay coc--er, Blockbuster rental fees).

Haha Great Futurama Reference!

*Obligatory celebration of Futurama reference.*

Obie @ Dec 7th 2007 8:19AM

I love these, man, those blenders kick ass!

ThornedVenom @ Dec 7th 2007 8:34AM

NOOOoOOOOOooOOOOOooOoooo!!!!

I refuse to believe that Halo is shreddable!

Here goes nothing *gulp*

I think he did the right thing. I'm a 360 owner and by all means am not a fan boy. After the amount of hype the game got I thought I was going to be from the heavens itself. After 2 days of solo campaign, and one helluva lackluster ending later, I though differently.

ModulusX @ Dec 7th 2007 8:54AM

You didn't like the ending? You must not have beat it on Legendary. You also must not have any friends playing co-op with you. But then, I'm a fan boy.

Try Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, that's worth blending, if it gets more people to play it.

Laggy @ Dec 7th 2007 9:09AM

I just thought the getaway on the warthog could've been so much better. The bland metallic tiles falling apart wasn't very nice to look at either. And Master Chief pretty much saved the human race with maybe a little help from the arbiter and all he gets is the number "117" scratched into the monument?
I admit co-op adds some fun to the game, but I didn't think Live play was anything to bow down to. I'd rather play Battlefield 2 for the whole team combat with vehicles.

äsdf @ Dec 7th 2007 9:42AM

That is probably a story element you wouldn't know unless you have read the books. Master Chief doesn't get and kind of burial or ceremony because according to the way the Spartan project works, Spartans don't die. They just go MIA or something along those lines. If you didn't see the extra ending for Legendary I suggest YouTubing it.

UltimateQ @ Dec 7th 2007 2:09PM

Thank you. You are right. Halo is not what it was hyped up to be. Nuff said. (Before fanboys start mocking me, and saying I much just suck at the game. Re-read my message, I didn't knock the game. Eat my balls)

rv @ Dec 7th 2007 4:01PM

Multi makes it worthwhile. Also, I love the halo campaign- how it is unique from most others, even though it was only 9 hours long...

Chris @ Dec 7th 2007 9:26AM

has he tried anything that doesnt blend ?

Fernando Rocker @ Dec 7th 2007 9:41AM

Yes... Chuck Norris.

Not to be a party pooper, but a four and five year old playing Halo? Parental repsonsibility, are you there? Of course not, the parents will just blame video games if the kids start blending people cuz it's easier to sit them in front of the TV than to actually raise the kids themselves.

A Pissed-off English Gamer @ Dec 7th 2007 11:09AM

It's up to the parents what their kids do. And, as far as letting them play Halo goes, there is a lot worse. Seriously, graphics may be better nowadays, but the death in Halo is about as gorey as a SNES Mortal Kombat game. And since pretty much every game revolves around something killing something else, or some form of physical aggression, people should maybe be a bit more focussed on sexual content or possibly swearing.

Yourself @ Dec 7th 2007 2:58PM

It may just be me, but I sort of got the impression that that part was satire.

Platinum_Skeet @ Dec 7th 2007 2:59PM

Honestly if you were raised with most of your childhood majority 90's you're the last generation of real kids America has left...

Think about it... I haven't seen nearly as many kids outside as when I was younger...

flexorz @ Dec 7th 2007 9:55AM

"Poppie giveth, poppie can taketh away."

When it comes to game ratings for kids, it looks like poppie is a little sloppy.

Sorry, couldn't resist. =)

Zorink @ Dec 7th 2007 10:10AM

His smile is pure gold.

Donald @ Dec 7th 2007 11:48AM

Again, I ask...

... will it play Doom?

rockintom @ Dec 7th 2007 12:04PM

Which is even *more* cliche than will it blend. Die on fire, please.

giantenemycrab @ Dec 7th 2007 4:40PM

if that blender really has a "Master Chief" button, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

J @ Dec 7th 2007 6:06PM

Uh....huh. This is about as significant as those protesters who smashed the PS3 in the street.

As in, not at all.

MinorHavoc @ Dec 7th 2007 11:59PM

May I suggest you visit the website for a more complete understanding of the nature of the video? It was made by the company that makes that blender. It started as a gimmick they did at trade shows, which lead to a video they put up that was so wildly popular that they now have a series of these.

It is not a social commentary nor an attempt at any deep humor.
