Gaming Caption Topic

[Supershroom]

Make suggestions for the captions in here, as well as comment on others, and so we'll find a consensus for each caption. Since polls are not handy to create for seven captions within three / four days, Random.org will be the immediate tiebreaker in case we can't make a commitment for a single caption.

Also please use this topic to introduce all of the characters. I actually don't know more than half of them (Zelda, Portal 2, Minecraft, Pokkén), and this will make it easier for everyone else to find ideas.

Lemme start with a try for the first picture:

The jump which caused a six-month gaming break for Nintendo players all over the world - right after leaping over Chain Chomp, he suffered a cruciate rupture in his right knee.

Collection of captions so far: show

2. Link: This only happens in the Warthog neighborhoods!

3. At this point P-Body's just wondering how much he can sell the "Days Since A Nuclear Holocaust" sign for.

4. "This is nice and all, but it's nowhere near as cool as all the chaos emeralds I found in the pots around here!"

5. Can't tell if a crowd of creepers or the streets of Colorado

6. At this moment Ash is wondering if the gym leader might have conned him into an unbalanced matchup

7. I hear this is what the dartboard for Bowser's target practice looks like.

At this point P-Body's just wondering how much he can sell the "Days Since A Nuclear Holocaust" sign for.

6. Unfortunately, Suicune's trainer had failed to consider type effectiveness.
7. The aftermath of Mario's huge mistake.

These are our final captions: show

1. Mario suddenly realizes that healing over Chain Chomp was a huge mistake. His knee is swollen ... this doesn't look good.
2. "Hey! You gotta pay me for these pots!" - "uh oh, gotta go fast..."
3. At this point P-Body's just wondering how much he can sell the "Days Since a Nuclear Holocaust" sign for.
4. "This is nice and all, but it's nowhere near as cool as all the chaos emeralds I found in the pots around here!"
5. Can't tell if a crowd of creepers or the street of Colorado
6. Suicune uses super awesome destructive destroyer charge, but unfortunately his trainer has failed to consider type effectiveness.
7. Mario.exe has encountered a serious error. Now Mario is transformed into a toy plane ... Bowser's gonna be amused next time he visits the toy store.

I definitely look forward to this event but I definitely urge us to tread lightly with each other- humor's super subjective but also super sensitive and sometimes it's very hard to intentionally be funny. Deal and accept criticism with grace.

1. And Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii will always looooooooooooooove youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

2. Link: This only happens in the Warthog neighborhoods!

3. At this point P-Body's just wondering how much he can sell the "Days Since A Nuclear Holocaust" sign for.

4. In the face of game failure after game failure, TeamSonic's taken drastic measures to steal some talent. Having taken note of Link's horrendous agility in Smash, the heist is confirmed.

5. Can't tell if a crowd of creepers or the streets of Colorado

6. At this moment Ash is wondering if the gym leader might have conned him into an unbalanced matchup

7. I hear this is what the dartboard for Bowser's target practice looks like.

Ok, I'll try and make them longer...

1: Mario:DIIIIIEEE Chain chomp: COME AT ME BRO
2: GOTTA GO FAST, GOTTA GO FAST, GOTTA GO FASTER FASTER FASTER...
3: I don't like buttons... But I do like the color red. (pushes button and explodes)
4: And so Link collects the Triforce and- wait.
5: That moment when you have diamonds and you lose them afterwards...
6: Used super awesome killer destructive destroyer charge. It was not effective.
7: Move out the way sonic.exe! It's Mario.exe's turn!

There.

[Supershroom]

Maybe try to make them a liiiiiiitle bit longer.

I liked your third one, while for 5) and 6) I can't judge the content because I really know NOTHING about the scenes displayed there ...

And MoD doesn't the corrupted Mario face rather look like a toy airplane? Also the tense: Isn't I've heard... more fitting than I hear...?

[KABOOM]

1. Mario suddenly realized that he had made a huge mistake.
2. "Hey! You gotta pay me for those pots!"
3.

At this point P-Body's just wondering how much he can sell the "Days Since A Nuclear Holocaust" sign for.

6. Unfortunately, Suicune's trainer had failed to consider type effectiveness.
7. The aftermath of Mario's huge mistake.

[Supershroom]

Also good (both of you), especially Kab's second one. For the seventh however ... it refers to the first one, an independent one would be better.

I can't help but I really grin when thinking of Mario being a toy plane, as well as suffering a cruciate rupture with all its consequences ... By the way edited the first post to something less boulevard-like, as well as collecting all of the other suggestions being made.

Still not sure how we reach a decision, though. Maybe we can try to mix some of them, e.g.:

Mario: "DIEEE!"
Chain-Chomp: "COME AT ME BRO!"
Mario: "Noooo, I'll get you!"

Mario jumps right at Chain-Chomp, but misses and lands unfortunately ... he's got a cruciate rupture.

[Jumbo101]

It's ok, I'll just keep mine the way it is.

[Supershroom]

We need a decision soon, guys. I'm trying to mix some of them a bit now a bit if possible, trying to let everyone be approximately equally represented.

1. Mario suddenly realizes that healing over Chain Chomp was a huge mistake. His knee is swollen ... this doesn't look good. (me/Kab)
2. "Hey! You gotta pay me for these posts!" - "uh oh, gotta go fast..." (Jumbo/Kab)
3. At this point P-Body's just wondering how much he can sell the "Days Since a Nuclear Holocaust" sign for. (MoD)
4. And so Link collects the Triforce and ... wait. (Jumbo)
5. Can't tell if a crowd of creepers or the street of Colorado (MoD)
6. Suicune uses super awesome destructive destroyer charge, but unfortunately his trainer has failed to consider type effectiveness. (Jumbo/Kab)
7. Mario.exe has encountered a serious error. Now Mario is transformed into a toy plane ... Bowser's gonna be amused. (Jumbo/MoD/a bit of me)

I'm a bit confused of the character of Pic 4 - looks like Sonic has slipped into Link's shoes and green clothes ... so is it Link or is it Sonic? Please explain.

[Asterocrat]

It is Sonic. In Sonic Lost World, a DLC lets you explore a zone inspired by Hyrule, and Sonic would also wear Link's clothes.

I'ma ♥♥♥♥ with 'em too

1. Mario practices for the next Olympic games in an entirely inopportune space.
2. Link was faced with the bill of hundreds of smashed pots. As you can see, this is a new experience for him. (Jumbo/Kab)
3. At this point P-Body's just wondering how much he can sell the "Days Since a Nuclear Holocaust" sign for. (MoD)
4. "This is nice and all, but it's nowhere near as cool as all the chaos emeralds I found in the pots around here!"
5. Can't tell if a crowd of creepers or the streets of Colorado (MoD)
6. Suicune uses super awesome destructive destroyer charge, but unfortunately his trainer has failed to consider type effectiveness. (Jumbo/Kab)
