Greatest/Most humerous gaming story

[Karak]

What is the best, most humorous, most amazing, most whatever thing that happened to you in a game or while gaming?

For me it was playing Typhoon Rising on 6 person lan. Ended up playing PVE and the enemies in that game were relentless. After about an hour of playing a certian level my pals looked over at me only to realize that I was still near the starting of the level. I had found a single enemy who fucking could kill me from like 700 yards away. Around this 1 AMAZING AI man were boats, cars, 3 helicopters, numerous Karak bodies, random guns I had dropped, and scorch marks and so on.For a full hour I was just trying to get that one billy bastard.
Cluster Fucks Last Stand is a jpeg I have of this 1 enemy who killed me over 97 times and the carnage around him.
Then my friend ran up and killed him with a knife easy as pie.
Fucker.

Not that amazing, but I've always remembered a long time ago in a quake 2 deathmatch. I was playing without sound. I was coming up on a ledge / corridor place, I forget the map. I had no idea where the only other remaining player was. On a hunch I looked behind me in a single swoop about half-way into the ledge. I fired a rocket without wait and jumped down as the screen showed. I had just blown up the other player, trying to sneak up behind me.

I remember playing BF2 a long time ago and I played as a Spec Ops.
It was the map with the big dam on it.
I'd planted C4 all across the road over the dam, and was in one of the buildings to the side waiting with my detonator in hand. About 5 minutes passed and not one person/vehicle came, so I got bored and just detonated all the C4. Literally 2 seconds later, 2 tanks and 2 full jeeps all drive by in the perfect line to all be killed by my C4.

I was so pissed.

Probably not my funniest, but it's the one that comes to mind at the moment.

Probably for me it was when I first fired up my original VooDoo graphics card and played Quake. Everyone in the dorms had their jaws drop when they saw that the PC was blowing away their PSX and N64. It was like the passing of the torch. The PC didn't look back for like the next 5 or 6 years.

I can remember seeing the look on the resident Mac fan boys face when he realized he had no possible rationalization for explaining why he couldn't do this on his shiny new Mac clone.

We must have played GLQuake around the clock for weeks if not months.

Nearly the same situation, but I got the kills. Though, I was closer to one of the cap points, and it was just lone vehicles. Each vehicle was full though, so I racked up the kills. Later a friend of mine joined up and played as an engineer. He'd drop the AT mines in an obvious place, forcing the vehicles around towards where I had the C4. It was like lemmings, just I was getting points faster for actually killing the lemmings.

The humor comes from the fact that I was listening to Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine. Not exactly funny, but humorous to listen to while blowing up tanks, jeeps and APCs.

Getting a 4-man EMP kill with the Engineer while defending the flag in TFC league play. One of my favorites. Damn, I loved them EMP kills. :D

Getting a 4-man EMP kill with the Engineer while defending the flag in TFC league play. One of my favorites. Damn, I loved them EMP kills. :D

This just reminded me of another funny moment.
Back when me and all my friends still played CoD 4 on the 360, I became obsessed with getting the achievement for killing somebody with a smoke grenade. My inability to do so became like a running joke between me and my friends. I lost count of how many smoke grenade kills were denied by Juggernaut.
After a really long play session with me again failing miserably to get the damn achievement, one of my friends said to me "you know, you're never going to get it".
You've probably guessed what came next. In the very same round, I saw him running up ahead and he got shot a couple of times. He ducked behind cover but hadn't seen me. I then made what was probably the best throw I've ever done and nailed him in the back of the head with a smoke grenade from halfway down the street and he died.

Of all my achievements on the 360, that is my favorite just because of how long it took me to get it, and the immensely satisfying circumstances in which it occurred. :D

I was playing Gears of War online with three of my buddies on Fuel Depot before they put the patch out so you couldn't go under the level. My friends and I were self proclaimed gods at Gears so we were by the hammer of dawn screwing around. Then, one guy on the other team came out of the shadows and started shooting at us from far away. For some reason, instead of fighting back, we all were just screaming into our mics to run away. The guy on the other team must've accidentally knocked over one of the bleach containers that made you go under the map by that wall (I hope you guys know what I'm talking about). So our entire team took cover on that short ledge and all three of them went over. I waited a second to go over and as I was in the animation, I see all of my friends get shot gunned at short ranged and I was yelling at the top of my lungs as I knew my guy was about to die. But, then instead of going on top to certain doom, my character fell under the map and I stood there laughing for about five minutes. I just couldn't believe what a coincidence it was and how ridiculous and overblown we made the whole ordeal.

That is how I discovered how to go under the map on Fuel Depot.

[Karak]

Best achivement for me.
I was considered scary good with Lau in VIrtua Fighter. Won a few comps and enjoyed games daily.
Ended up beating my entire dorm in a game of 1 man without getting under 50% life. I pretty much slowly started to degrade after that. But man it was amazing times.

[maharahaj]

I'll submit one for the Greatest Catagory.

I was playing 7 vs 7 Attack and Defend multiplayer Rainbow Six: Vegas. My team was made up of random people and we were attacking; theirs was a clan defending. For like 14 minutes, they were absolutely destroying us, with 3 guys camping the objective and 4 guys surrounding the area. 5 of our 7 guys dropped out of the game.

So now its me and another dude versus a clan of 7. Well, I methodically crouch crawl around the entire perimeter map, while I saw them "leave the base" actively trying to hunt us down. I sneak past guys like Neo escaping from the Agents in the cubicle maze in the Matrix to get to the objective room. They had left one guy to defend. I head shot him ran to the objective, setting the bomb off with less than a minute left in the match as the other team reswarmed back into the room.

They were so pissed in the post game lobby.

[hunterx280]

Back in high school a few of my buddies and I would gather every weekend at a friends house to play video games until we couldn't keep our eyes open. At the time it was pretty much N64 games because that was one of the few places to get 4 player co-op in a small space (in other words, not a LAN). I don't remember what game we were playing but it had to have been Super Smash Bros. or Perfect Dark. My buddy was losing bad and couldn't stand it. He got so pissed he threw the N64 controller. Well he happened to be sitting on a small couch to everyone's left, I was to his right, up higher and the two other guys were on my right. The controller flew off to the right and seemed to pass right in front of my eyes in slow motion. Suddenly, I hear a rapid "THUNK, THUNK!" followed immediately by two simultaneous groans of pain.

The controller had reached the end of the cord and swung around and hit both of my friends in the forehead in perfect succession while narrowly avoiding me. We must have laughed about that for a good half hour afterward and we still laugh about it when ever someone is about to do something dangerous with a controller.

[TheSilentDeath]

Ok this wasn't the greatest but it was pretty damn funny and it happened like 20 minutes ago.

So a group of us were playing CoD4 on Crossfire. We were completely dominating the other team to the point that they completely rotated members like 4 or 5 times. Also we were holding the entire top of the street so the other team had to fight uphill against us. Since EvoG was there he usually asks for someone to kill him when he gets 7 kills so that he can chain the Helicopter, however this time was completely different.

All of a sudden someone on our team starts shouting AHHHHHHH really loud and then you hear several of us start cracking up. Evo, the guy who likes to sit back and hold one position, was fucking charging the enemy with his pistol out while shouting. What makes this even better was that when Evo was killed it wasn't even the other team that killed him, it was someone on our team that thought he was an enemy that killed him. So we were all laughing by this point and I point out that from my point of view the only thing that I could think of when I saw Evo running was the scene from BF: Bad Company where Haggard single handedly invades another country. So in the end some laughed, some cried, and we beat the other team 69-7.

[VerseD]

I have a story, and not from a shooter. Star Wars Galaxies was the first MMO I played, and in some ways it was a very weird one. Player housing and custom-crafted clothing made it a little like Second Life. My friend and I found someone who was fully specced to make clothing, which had no in-game purpose, and ordered something like 400 of these fuzzy cone-shaped hats, red on the bottom and yellow on the top. They looked ridiculous, and we had them named Party Hats.

For the next couple months, everyone we grouped with, everyone in our guild, and everyone we bought something from got a Party Hat, and slowly but surely we started noticing mobs of people wearing our signature hats. It was kind of like that ass pennies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feZeOnEzs98) video, except much more awesome.

[Ancalagon]

I remember one time we were playing Quake 3 multiplayer, on that map where you fight Xaero at the end of the singleplayer campaign. Its the one with two platforms with lots of pillars on each, and some jumpers to carry you between them.

Anyway, I had mistimed a jump, or got hit in midair or something, so I was careening over the edge of one of the platforms. I turn around to face the platform again, and I see my friend, on the edge of the platform, hidden behind a pillar, trying to be a sneaky sniper. I dont know how he got there, it must have taken ages. So.... I launched a rocket at the pillar, bouncing him off the pillar to join me in doom. I didnt stop laughing for about 5 minutes.

Another time, we were having a lan party with a few guys, who we were kinda friendly with. Anyway, they took their games much more seriously than my friend and I, which made them not so fun to play against. I started getting a little annoyed, and we were playing CSS on one of those small maps thats pretty much a small warehouse where everyone meets in the middle and fights. So.... I just started buying flashbangs and throwing them. Constantly. Everyone was permanently blinded, and then my friend joined in. I think I was hosting, so they could either quit or carry on playing while blind, and they carried on playing.

Also, on another note, alcohol + counterstrike source = good times.

[Spectre-7]

Two embarrassing stories, and one moment of greatness.

1) I was pretty well known among my roommates and our group of friends for being a hard-core gamer who was always up for a challenge, so when everyone decided to have a StarCraft night, I figured why not?

We start a three player game. Protoss? These guys look cool. Alright... I need my little guys to build this building in order to get that one. Gotcha. And this thing. Damn, I should probably try to build some fighting units while I'm at it. How do I get to one of those Archon things?

After 10 or so minutes, I think I've kinda got the hang of it. Then, out of nowhere, the battalion from hell begins to march across my fortifications, destroying everything in their path. My defenses fail one by one, until only a single building remains, and then I hear one of my roommates call out, "Hey Chris... is that your main base?"

"Yeah," I mumble.

Suddenly, the enemy troops stop firing, turn around and march away. I realize that this wasn't some massive armada. It was my roommate's scouting party, and it just handled my base like a drunken fifth grader.

Despite my friend's mercy, I didn't last much longer. I haven't played SC since.

2) Around this group of friends and my co-workers, I was especially known as a Quake head. I spent a fair amount of time playing Q1 and Q2 online, and when Q3 hit, I got a major kick out of the Nightmare level bots. They could be downright demonic.

Occasionally, we'd welcome a new person to our clique, and I'd get a new challenger, but that wouldn't last very long. 1-on-1 rounds often ended around 20 to -1, and said challengers usually didn't come back.

Then I got to play against Andrew in Testing.

Andrew was a die-hard Tribes player.

Andrew had never played Q3 before.

Andrew spanked me 20-2, laughing all the way. "Ha ha! These rockets are so easy to aim!"

*sigh*

3) A couple of years later, I was interviewing at my old company. They'd moved to a new location, and a lot of their staff had turned over while I was gone, so after my interview, one of my old co-workers took me on a tour. Near the end, we ran across a group of guys playing Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast, and I asked to stay and watch for a while.

A level designer was making quick work of his competitors, and after a few minutes, he'd thrashed everyone there. Well... nearly everyone there.

"Man, I haven't played Soul Calibur in ages. Mind if I get a round?" I asked sheepishly.

"Sure," the victor said.

The last defeated man tossed me his controller, and I took a seat. I thumbed the stick around, wandering across the character select screen until I finally settled on Siegfried.

Fight!

A step forward. A step back. Then my big ass sword spun into action, and I bashed him into the ground. Perfect. The second round began, and I pressed the advance. Perfect.

"Fun playing with you gents."

In my experience, there's nothing quite so satisfying as stomping all over the local champ in a game company when no one even knows your name. :)

[SilentScreams]

I have one (yes, another).
Back when I used to play Sony's Infantry, there was a game mode called Chaos in Eol. People ran around in small teams and basically just shot the crap out of each other. The longer you lived, the more your bounty went up, and the better the experience and cash reward for kills was. People also obviously got more for killing somebody with a high bounty.

The max bounty was 30k, and every now and again you'd get organized squads based around protecting one guy to get him up to 30k. The whole squad would use low damage energy weapons to take away the enemies suit armor, while the main guy used an assault rifle or similar more powerful weapon to kill them.

Anyway, killing a "30k-er" was near impossible, but as soon as the word got out that one was around, every other team in the game would usually make an effort to get him.
I only ever managed to kill one. That's one more than most people get...and it was a complete fluke.

I was a newbie at the time. I had crap weapons, crap armor, crap stats and not a whole lot of know-how. I was playing as a Heavy, and I spawned right next to an enemy Infiltrator. Instinctively I spun around and fired my rocket launcher at him. Now on Infantry, rocket launchers are balanced by having a minimum range. If somebody is too close, the rocket just passes through them, doing nothing.
And that's what happened. My rocket passed through the Infil, went off the edge of the screen and got the final hit on a 30k-er.

I was such a newb, I didn't even know I'd killed one until everybody started congratulating me. Anyway, it gave me a nice cash and exp boost. I was eventually one of the best players around, but I never managed to get another 30k-er.

[Spectre-7]

A humorous story:

Meridian 59 was one of the earliest MMOs, and a lot of the essential features of modern MMOs just hadn't been thought of yet. During the game's alpha phase, it was our job to think of them.

Since the game was about as graphically sophisticated as Doom, nearly everything happened in a small text window at the bottom of the screen. This included things such as who had entered a room, and what had just damaged you. Tee Hee Hee...

The best part was that you could change your character's name at will, and there were practically no rules about what you could name yourself. Since you could also emote actions directly into the text window, like in IRC, this was rife for abuse.

I, of course, abused it.

All system messages, such as who had entered an area, were preceded by ###. I changed my name to ###.


buffdude: yah and i was like dude what?
Lita: lol!
buffdude: totally
### Enters the area (no one notices this)
buffdude: were you from lita?
Lita: Houston. its nice here.
buffdude: cool
### buffdude leaves the area
Lita: goodbye then.
buffdude: what?
Lita: wtf? i thought you left??!
### Lita was killed
Lita: whats going on?
buffdude: you died ? i don get it you wernt evn fightng
Lita: were in tos. we're not supposed to die here.
buffdude: we shud tell an admin
Lita: yeah. is meridian on?
### Meridian has logged on
### Meridian teleports into the area
Lita: hey meridian! something wierds going on!
buffdude: yah
### Meridian leaves the area
Lita: what?
buffdude: this if fukd

That was fun for a while, but I finally filed my bug report and moved on.

When that well dried up, I took interest in the fact that damage was reported in the text window in this format: You were hit by whatever attacked you. That might be other players, spiders, orcs, or whatever was around.

Of course, I changed my name to an orc, and made good use of the hiding places my friends had discovered inside some of the walls.


### hexus entered the area
### Sir Galahad entered the area
Sir Galahad: Where do you want to go?
hexus: i herd there's a new quesr area neer teh spider cave
Sir Galahad: cool
Sir Galahad was hit by an orc
hexus: what i dont see any orcs?
Sir Galahad was hit by an orc
Sir Galahad: Where is it!?!?
hexus: i dont know
Sir Galahad was hit by an orc
Sir Galahad: WHAT THE FUCK1

Man. I miss those days.

A really sad and pathetic story from recent...i'm playing GH III, and doing the star power is a lot easier in this GH than in GH II. In GH II I was waving the damn guitar to get my xbox to notice "hey, i'm waving my toy here...recognize it"...and eventually it would. Now on GH III the sensitivity is much higher..so just upping the guitar now will activate the star power. I forgot on one particular song, which I was really into...thinking I had to wave my guitar like a Wii wand...I had my guitar to close to my face and slammed my guitar into my nose. It hurt so bad I thought I broke my nose. Can you imagine going into the ER explaining that? Let's not talk about the ribbing I would get from Ms. Claus...she would laugh at me for the rest of my life...every single day of my life...I don't think anyone is going top this pathetic story :).

I can top this story.. but its in a non game related way, if I share said story, I shall be laughed at forever ;p.. but I might anyways, perhaps another thread in the lounge.


A pretty great moment for me was back in early everquest 1 times, you could drop stuff on the ground for "Self" item transfers between characters, if you were quick and did it in a secluded place. I happened to stumble upon someones stash and well.. I stole like 100 platinum, which was huge at the time... I was a bastard =/

[Virtual Machine]

6 player Starcraft LAN on one of the bigger maps. I started top/center. 5 of the guys started their shit, and eventually it was down to three of us. After about 2.5 hours, i hadn't yet had one single fight with any of the guys, and i'd started on my second base, dead center of the map. Now it's common for me to just hoard resources and stockpile stockpile stockpile, but usually one of the guys who's just plain faster than me at building will find my hidey hole and end me. They were all so busy with one another they let me be. Finally, as one of the 2 remaining guys is taking out the other, Mooch (yes, we called him Mooch) is retreating what's left of his protoss units, right into the path of my main force. Jon, at his computer, chimes in "where the hell is Steve anyway?" Mooch's response comes shortly thereafter; "Jesus Christ, oh GOD! I found him!"

I then ended them both in about 4 minutes. My one and only Starcraft multiplayer victory.

Then there's Warcraft III, and getting destroyed by one of my "semi-pro" buddies in about 6 minutes after the match started. "OOh! I've got horsies already! WTF??? DRAGONS!! BLARGH!"

Something related to this. In Morrowind I would always steal characters headgear. ALL the time. Then I would take screenshots of me running away from them as they chased me when I was caught.
EVERY single character in all the main cities lost their helmets and headgear to me. And I stacked it in my player owned home neatly and took pictures of them and then posted them to my google page.
In another related. IN Oblivion I would go into the guard barracks and night, steal the pants off all the characters AND the pants in the secondary cabinet so they could not get any more.
They would freak and run around and then look at one another and shake their heads in horror. Some would go on rounds and be mocked, others would stayin the building and not leave ha

Ha ha, I have a similar story.

I (Jon) was playing protoss, and I rushed zealots en masse (we were never very good). There were about 48 zealots crusading across the hunters, and I caught one terran player unawares (steve). I destroyed most of his base, but his command centre (or maybe one or two other buildings) escaped by flying. so... I ignored him and went about my rampage, eventually destroying everyone else (or they destroyed each other, and I mopped up one or two).

In comes steve with a fleet of battlecruisers, and me with no anti air. His battlecruisers finished my base before my zealots could finish his.

yeah, scouting and balanced forces, I know.

THAT is awesome.

I happened to stumble upon someones stash and well.. I stole like 100 platinum, which was huge at the time... I was a bastard =/

I have a similar story from Diablo 2. My friend would start games called "DUPE ITEMS FOR FREE". When people joined he would tell them that if they went into the corner of the map in the Act 2 town, dropped whatever item they wanted to dupe on the ground, and then held Alt and pushed F1, F2, F3, and F4, they would have two of the item they dropped.

It never ceases to amaze me how many D2 addicts didn't know that Alt-F4 closed their client, or that they weren't suspicious about this method. My friend conned so many people into just dropping their items and quitting, including an Eaglehorn bow, and then he just walked off laughing and never got caught.

[aVaKus]

I know I've had many over the years, but one that really stands out for me was a couple years ago right after the first Gears came out (pre-patch, but no exploits were used). I was playing with a bunch of friends in a private match. We were playing execution, seven people in all, my team this match was one man short. We were on Fuel Depot and this particular round we spawned on the outside part of the map. We all take off running and I tell my 2 team mates that I'm gonna grab the sniper and run around the back of the warehouse. When I get around to the other teams side, I ask where my teammates are only to hear crickets chirping. "Hello?" Nothing. Pull up the scoreboard. They're both dead and all 4 on the other team are alive and well. My heart begins to race. I was still very new at this game and was up against 4 of the more skilled of my group of friends. One was a decent sniper, one so good with the shotgun if he got close to you it was all over, and the other 2 were well rounded in all areas.

So I decided I'm gonna hide and let the match come to a draw. (I know, cowards tactic but we were already down one match and I wasn't gonna hand them another one.)
I sneak my way into the hanger and hide behind the farthest APC back.

I can see them all running around outside looking for me and one of them (one of the well rounded ones) wanders off from the group closer to the hanger, and I decided that I can take him out without the others seeing. I take aim with the longshot and pop his head. Felt satisfying, but my plan had failed and I had been spotted. I then watch as the other 3 descend on my location. Time to make a stand.

I do a quick inventory of my weapons, sniper: not helpful here, shotgun: for me, usually seems to shoot confetti, and a freaking smoke grenade. *sigh
This will be the most pathetic stand in history.

I run out to the boxes in the center of the hanger showing exactly where I am to all 3. The sniper and remaining well rounded one take position on each side of the hanger door and Mr. shotgun comes right down the middle (most likely to try a shotgun roll, I so despise that 'tactic'). I toss the smoke grenade up toward the door (right beside the larger box up some on my right) and I see Shotty disappear behind the smoke, I then make a break for it around the back side of the larger box and pull out my shotgun. When I get around I see him right at the corner of the large box looking toward where I used to me. I run up and 2 trigger pulls later he is in pieces on the ground.

A sniper nails me in the shoulder and I turn to see the remaining 2 jumping the barricades at the front of the hanger. One of which was right beside me.
I take off running, out the front of the hanger and across the map to the far end, bobbing and weaving, sniper shots flying by me and the sound of a locust breathing heavily behind me trying to keep up. I knew that if I stopped I would be instantly chainsawed. I decided to try something.

I stopped and instantly dive rolled backwards and watch as he goes flying right by me. I pull the trigger, it staggers him allowing me to close the gap, I melee and he goes down. Curb stomp. (didn't know you could just melee again to kill him, yes, I was that new)
At this point I'm at the far front corner of the warehouse away from the hanger.

I check the clock, 8 seconds left.

Another sniper shot goes whizzing by me. In one quick movement I pull out my sniper rifle, slide into cover at the warehouse corner, and take aim towards the origins of that last shot and see his head disappear behind cover. 2 seconds. Dammit, all this and it's a draw. Clock ticks to zero, his head pops out, I pull the trigger. *Pop* COGs win.

I just sat there in silence between the rounds (again, pre-patch, so no between round chat with the dead and other team), heart pounding in my chest. The next round starts and I'm greeted with about 5 seconds of pure silence. Then one of my friends finally breaks it and says, "Dude, that was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen."
