The Elitist's Favorite Video Game Moments: The InstaGib

splat

Yea, and who doesn't love an old fashioned instagib. The gun that wins is always the favorite of the FPS multiplayer warrior, because, you'd have to be a brain dead donkey nipple to not love sending your opponent into oblivion with a single shot. It's the ultimate battling pleasure.



Unreal Tournament.
It's everyone's first thought (I think...If not, I might be aging myself) whenever instagib is mentioned. The the original Instagib rifle. Setting up games with your friends where the only gun you have and can find on the map is the instagib. Mayhaps you are feeling extra silly and decide to turn the gravity down just a touch, in order to add that extra dose of ridiculousity, because if sending your opponents mangled atomized bloody chunks flying to all corners of the room isn't fun, blowing them to bloody bits while they are slowly falling to their inevitable death is just for you. The great thing is, while vaporizing you friends is the infinitely more hilarious than just shooting them, the instagib allows you to laugh hysterically when you get shot, and witness your polygonal organs sail through the air. It's fun for the whole family!!


Many FPS games have followed suite with an instagib type weapon. Quake for instance has a version of the instagib. Although, the weapon in Quake is notably less completely and utterly hilariously gory. It does however, add that little bit of sting to the targets pride. Imagine you are the Badass of Baddassville pwning all nubs who make it their mistake to bring their scrub superdouche faces into your lobby. As you are wrecking faces, kicking ass, taking names, and chewing bubble gum (whatever), some chump, shoots you once..and you die. Not only do you die, ending your record breaking kill streak, but you also are sent pushing daisies in the most disgraceful way imaginable


Your body once a fully trained n00b killing machine, was just sent into the afterlife after being poofed into a magical cloud of Rainbow piss and Unicorn poop. A Fairy's Fart is all that remains of your once completely and totally own your face character. It's okay though, because: "Whatever man, I may have been instagibbed, but only scrubs use the instagib. Nerds. These guys are such fuckin' nerds, I bet they never get laid, oh man what nerds. Hey nerds, I'm gonna do your mom! HAHA! I'm so cool."
Right Johnny?
I love the internet.

The instagib lives on in many ways in many games. It's hilarious blood/sparkle splattering power fills our hearts with joy again and again. Whether it be big


or small,

the instagib.... the instagib don't mess around.
