Man, this looks SUPER familiar, and it’s been driving me crazy since the first screen was posted. But got nothing. . .

There are a great many people who I can say with 100% certainty will not only be able to name the game, but the exact scene/ level of the game later.
I like this shot because it is at once distinct, but also somewhat tricker.

No. However I would not be shocked, in the least, if you were to ultimately guess the game.
Is this Mass Effect. . . uhhhh. . . 1? The top kinda reminds me of the “zombifying” tech they use against the human colonists in that game. . .

So very very wrong
But also so very, very right.
I don’t remember Mass Effect 1 being that grainy. Good guess, Armando!

Soft focus cutscene.
Also did not take the shot myself. That probably didn’t help.
Yeah, I didn’t mention it, but the film grain was also pushing me toward ME even last night, but I just couldn’t place the purple stuff anywhere. And even when I thought I had, I was obviously wrong :P
Will post El Screenarino fairly late this evening (heading out to play an RPG w/ some friends straight after work).
If I squint, that background still looks like my dog’s nose.
Soooo I spent about 30 minutes creating a really neat dual contest that involved both a particular game and also a particularly “legendary” moment within that game. . .
. . . and then I learned that said game had already been done in the GFG previously, because I was an idiot and didn’t think to check that until I came here to post. D’oh.
Since it’s now midnight, I’ll have to go back to the drawing board and think of something new in the morning, unless people want to play the “guess the legendary moment in specific game” game :-P
I don’t see why we can’t repeat games. It’s not like the 20:20 movie game where any repeats will look the same. New games are probably best, but if you have something that’ll be fun then I reckon go for it.

Though, now we know it’s a repeat, we can just start reading CraigMs list to figure out what it is!
I’m fine with repeats, unless the game has been done recently.
Alright, well, mostly for extra challenge, consider there to be a bonus* on the line if you manage to get the “legendary moment” depicted here along with the game itself.

- Bonus might entail 1 American Dollar Paypal’ed to you entirely as a joke.
Isn’t that legendary moment a bit spoilerific?
For the (potentially very) modest portion of the forum that was particularly invested in it at the time, I’d say the statute of limitations has definitely passed by now.

It is up to the chooser. We can repeat if we want to.

Considering the sheer volume of games created up to present, we should never actually need to repeat. At least not in this decade. Though I understand that the game at this point is at times a little too uber-nerdy. However, there’s still tons of mainstream games not played yet.
Not saying you can’t repeat. Just saying there’s still a lot of popular games we haven’t done yet.

I have no idea where that arrow is from.
