Re: Funny moments in gaming?
Here's one from Starcraft!

You know if you keep clicking on a selected unit it gets annoyed at you? If you click on a Protoss Arbiter enough it'll say: "Want to know the secrets of time travel?"  "Here's you're first lesson.... *rewinding noise*.... Want to know the secrets of time travel?"  :D


Or, in Halo, I managed to make a Hunter shoot an Elite in the back. ;7

The Elite got angry and began screaming at the Hunter, then it stuck a plasma grenade on the Hunter. I was dead by then because I was laughing so hard!  :lol:

I've never even played the game, and I was laughing so hard I cried. The vacuum cleaner...oh God, the vacuum cleaner. :lol:

Dude, you can't call yourself a gamer if you haven't played this at all. And speaking of that, here's the email I sent to that guy: :D

Well then tell me where I can get it. :p

You should be able to find a new copy of the GOTY edition for under $10 on ebay. Well worth it for what is in my opinion the best FPS ever made. :yes:

As for other funny moments, in FS2 yesterday, I had a Serapis docked with an Argo and fired some morning star shots at the fighter, which caused it to get knocked around as usual, but the Argo moved along with it. :D The game was apparently only considering the fighter's mass for the entire thing and it looked quite ridiculous. This has been around since retail FS2 but is basically a bug, so I'll put it on Mantis when it comes back up.

Playing Smackdown 2 I once threw head at Al Snow knocking him down and immediately pinned him for a three count.

Re: Funny moments in gaming?
I don't know if the X2 developers noticed that the hostile alien race called the "Khaak", sounds exactly like the word "cock"

Sounds more like cack to me, and the developers of X2 have a sense of humour most certainly. You're working for a guy called Ban Danna remember?

All the X series is full of accidental comedy thanks to the Speech system...

'Split now give you Arrrrrrgghh!!!'

I keep on hearing

I was playing Falcon 4.0:  Allied Force, getting ready to taxi on to the runway.  I hit the comms button, call the tower, and my plane spontaneously explodes.  Chalk up another hair gel incident...

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address occurred during the same week.  This is an ironic juxtaposition of events--one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog.

I liked it in X - Beyond the Frontier when you first try to talk to one of the Split aliens -

Pure Fs2 moment:


Dogfighting in Into the Lion's Den, the mission where you go beyond the second Knossos portal. An Astaroth was going full speed, over 200 m/s, and ran head-on into a CommNode blade going the opposite direction!  :lol:

The blade acted like a baseball bat, and that poor fighter stopped dead for about one second, against the blade, then was flung over a klick before it exploded!  :lol:

Re: Funny moments in gaming?
There are some awesome Independence War II moments that i had.  Most of them dealing with either megafreighters and/or antimatter pods.

Some funnies include

Tossing a pod of antimatter at 3km/s directly at a megafreighter and watching it explode.  Also known as Antimatter Baseball or Antimatter Bowling.
Leaving antimatter pods at the arrival side of an L-point
Leaving about 30 proximity mines at the arrival side of an L-point
I went hostile to a defense station and the turrets on the station started to shoot me.  Luckily there was a megafreighter that i used to shield myself from the turrets.  That shield didn't last too long, but it was funny while it lasted
Shooting the ass end of a megafreighter and watching it spin as its exploding.
Colliding with planets during autopilot.
