SuitDude posted:Sadly, medics can no longer infect people. What a shame. Maybe I'll get the TF2 if there are lots of team damage servers, though. In TFC, I loved being a spy and going into the enemy's sniper spot. After clearing it out, I'd disguise myself as an enemy sniper and wait to get picked off. Unfortunately, I couldn't do the zoom in animation, but they always took the bait if I did a good job acting.

Back in the old days of UO when not many people could dye true black, as it was not one of the normal dye colors for clothing, I managed to aquire a black robe and would advertise at the bank that I was dying clothes black for free. People would hand me their clothes... and then I would bolt. It was completely retarded and yet hilarious. On one hand, they were worth nothing. On the other, they were just stolen from and now have to do the naked walk of shame to the clothier. Many of them would chase me around, yelling at me. Others would spam not to trust me, as I stole their pants before. It was a grand time.

I dunno anything that's going on for the PC goons, this was just the stuff I've seen and heard about, playing on my XBox. I'd assume and hope that the PC goons have more variety and/or are more original than all us poor shmucks stuck on a gaming appliance instead of a ZOMG COMPUTER.  But in all honesty, if I had a gaming-level PC these days, I'd still play COD4 on XBox, it's just too clean and easy to play a ton of games and never worry about server latency or admins being douchebags.

Speaking of, I just remembered that I used to play heavy a lot, and people would positively flip the gently caress out when I did. Was heavy really that unbalanced? I used to play it a lot, but I never got the feeling that I was overpowered or anything. The lack of speed / inaccuracy of the gun seemed to balance me out well. But jesus people would be furious that I picked that class.

I have two stories my friend told me. He doesn't play alot of computer games, but he used to play the gently caress out of Diablo II under the name of Mike. One day, someone at level 60 pk'd his lowbie character. Similar to a story posted earlier in the thread, the 60 made he swear loyalty. Unfortunatly for him, Mike wasn't exactly a newbie, and began plotting his revenge. They killed more people, and began looting. Mike found a hack cube. A hacked cube that summoned a hack golom that was nigh-unkillable. So he relaxed at the edge of the town, letting his golem kill more players when his golem "accidently" squished the guy he swore loyalty to. His ear looked good in the rest of his collection. Same guy, different handle. Plays COD4 on XBOX Live. Has a recorder with the Numa Numa song on it. So he changes his clan tag to NUMA and plays the song over the headset. Half the people would swear uncontrollably at him, the other half would sing along. Perhaps not the cleverest grief, but entertaining to listen to. A sample below:  "STOP PLAYING THAT YOU FAGG-":iamafag::iamafag::iamafag::iamafag: "NUMA NUMA NUMA YAY..."

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but at one point in BF1942 if you drove an APC into an AA gun as fast as you could, and had the AA gun pointed in a specific direction, the APC would get "stuck" for a second, and then suddenly shoot upwards into the air faster than a plane. My brother and I would use this tactic to either just laugh watching the drat thing fly all over the place, or by making a paradrop from the APC behind enemy lines. Unfortunately for anyone else getting into the vehicle, we wouldn't warn them what was going to happen. I can only imagine the confusion when someone sees the apc suddenly spinning, hops out, and finds that he's about 200 feet in the air. Most people didn't have the reflexes to hit their parachute button. I laughed until I was crying sometimes.

I've been doing some griefing in Diablo II the past couple days. One of the things high level characters can do is what's called an uber game. You collect 9 random-drop keys which open 3 mini levels. Clear all 3 mini levels and you can open a portal to Uber Tristram, where more powerful versions of the three Prime Evils, Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, lurk. Kill them all and you get a Hellfire Torch, the most powerful charm in the game, which buffs your stats, resistances, and gives +3 to all of a classes skills. The interesting part is this: If you kill Diablo and Baal, you can trap Mephisto in a house, where he'll spawn poo poo-tons of skeletons around one of the players. If you bring two powerful paladins in the game, you can have a bunch of low-level characters join while the paladins kill massive amounts of skeletons, and the lowbies can go from level 1 to level 85 in an hour or so off the skeleton kills. It takes three well-geared players to set this up and commit their time, so it takes quite a bit of organization. On D2jsp, the D2 trading site, people get together with their friends, set up Uber Tristram, and sell off leecher spots in the game--they can make 150-200 gold or more by levelling up lowbies. Except when one of the lowbies gives me the game name and password. Then, after he's leveled a little bit, I jump in the game, teleport to Mephisto's house, and kill him and grab the Hellfire Torch before anyone knows what's going on. No more Meph means no more skeletons to level with, and they just gave me a free torch, which can be worth some serious fg if it's a good one. The best part is, most of the time, they end up having to refund everyone's money, so that goon lowbie gets to go from level 1-80 for free. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=zuf8nn&s=4 http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=ne7w3q&s=4

I wonder if there's a faster way to do it with packets.Once I was following one of those baal bots that has his own channel that it reports game names to. I noticed that if anyone ever went hostile with him in his game, the bot would chicken and autoquit. I followed him for a good 30 minutes, causing him to quit games repeatedly until nobody was coming to his games any more .

Well, while I can certainly see the humor of griefing, I don't think I have ever done much of it, myself. However, I do have a pretty amusing story of real life griefing in a video arcade. A friend and I went to our local arcade, back in Jr. High, so we were around 13/14 years old. We see this guy we knew form the gaming circle (pen and paper) who was considerably older, in his mid 20's I'd say. He was playing Gauntlet, and had probably put 10 to 20 bucks into it to get his health meter as high as it was...so my friend goes over to this little (probably ten years old) kid and whispers in his ear. We wait until the guy was on a level where your friendly attacks stun you, and then feed the kid quarters so he can keep him stunned in a doorway, eating ghost after ghost...his health meter is falling like crazy....and he just loses it. He grabs the little kid, screaming (I kid you not) "IT'S NOT A GAME!" Needless to say, we were rolling, and he got kicked out of the arcade. Now, I don't know if he just failed to see that we were actually giving that kid the money or what (his health was so high that the timed health of the kid was running out from just standing there, shooting him), but all his ire was directed at that poor little kid. I guess we griefed them both, lol, but all the credit goes to my friend Paul.

Pacifism is goddamn beautiful. I started up Halo 3 tonight because I was bored, and decided to mess around with the pubbies a little bit. Apparently the Double XP weekend is going on tonight (a Thursday), and it's Team Snipers. Needless to say, I tried my damndest to keep my teammates from being able to kill anyone on the other team by blocking their shots. Eventually, I got to spouting out a whole bunch of crap about how John Lennon wouldn't want the Red and Blue teams to kill each other, and we should just give peace a chance. Lucky for me, as I'm doing doughnuts in a mongoose, one of the blue guys jumps on as my passenger and starts yelling "DON'T KILL BROKENED! STOP!" Of course, Brokened is me and he and I spend the rest of the match trying to ride our mongoose in peace while the blue team keeps taking potshots at us. I keep getting headshotted the whole match while he yells at his own team for killing me. On top of all that, he sounds like he's 12 years old. After the game, he adds me to his friends list and has me party up with him and one of the blue guys who kept killing me despite my objections to the war. I spent the next match talking about how Jesus loves everyone and that killing is bad. There are no winners and losers in life or this game! My favorite exchange went something like this:  "So if you don't believe in winners and losers, are we all winners?" "Nope, we're all losers because we have nothing better to do tonight than play Halo."That made things quiet for a bit. To make a long story short, I was griefing in Halo 3 by running around and being useless and someone on the other team joined me. All in the name of goddamn peace and John Lennon. I'll break out my gamebridge and post a video in the morning, unfortunately there is no voicechat audio because I have no idea how to record it. edit: I'd also like to get in on some COD4 "Shush" shennanigans the next chance I get. That sounds awesome.

When Diablo 2 first came out I went through the game fast as a paladin, then decided that hardcore looked awesome. I decided that the best thing to do in hardcore would be to kill other players. (edit: hardcore meant that if you died, you could never be brought back to life. You had to start over from the beginning) So I sat down and figured out that if I was a barbarian, and I put a bunch of skills towards leap attack and pole arm, if I could catch someone and hit them once (which leap attack made much easier) then they would die in one shot. I cannot begin to convey the rage that ensues after you one shot someone's level 40 necromancer. On a non-griefing front, I was inspired to do this by one of my friends who was pissed off at all the cheating in the first Diablo, so he figured out that if you were a mage, and never touched a shrine, and got the thinking cap, and touched one particular shrine that had a chance to increase its durability, and then put on the thinking cap, naj's light plate, and an archangel's staff (of town portal, in his case) you could cast level 20 fireballs in a game that only had up to level 15. The drat things did so much damage that if people had just used duped and hacked items, he could 1 or 2 shot them. After which he would be called a cheater, by the duping cheaters themselves!

I never played 1.10 but I remember seeing Poor Man's page and it sounded like you needed to be an accounting wizard with incredible precision to do that. Actually, if you build the right character, you can solo Uber Tristram by yourself. My smiter paladin can tank all three uber Prime Evils at once, actually. The only way I die is through lag. Smacking down Mephisto solo is child's play, even with 7 other people ingame.

And if we did we would probably be seeing youtube video's of goons getting their heads chopped off. I drop in from time to time in second life, but all alone its boring as hell, did go to a church service and had a satan avatar looking at the service from the roof nobody noticed me untill for some reason i clipped through the roof. The pastor was in the middle of his service, on VOIP, so you could hear him. When a 7 feet 500 pound devil crashed down in the center. Startled him a bit. But yeah not much to do anymore in SL.

I tried to do some real world griefing yesterday. My wife decided we were off to a community dog show, but said I could wear what I like (sometimes these are fancy affairs). So I decided to wear my falcons jersey. My old Michael Vick Falcons jersey, to be precise. She doesn't follow sports, nor apparently news. The looks were hilarious, until my wife was told what the looks were for and demanded I removed the shirt. Sadly, I had my daughter take some shots on her phone, but she deleted them. That means I have to do it again to prove to my friends I actually did it, and this time my wife knows what's going on. (for those who don't follow sport, Vick was locked away last season for killing dogs and running dog fighting nights, he's hated by pretty much everyone).

I made a giant lego penis complemented with vagina slash testies and a layered city inside it in Blockland once. I saved it and started loading it up on any public server in which the administrators would give out the password to the administrative options. Surprisingly I haven't been banned yet from any server and often times the administrators want to make their own additions to the little town inside it.

Triggs posted:I only have MSPaint available, how do I do that? I tried saving it as a 256 bitmap and that didn't work, either. VTFLib (once called VTFedit) is a very easy way to make sprays. You get yourself a .tga file (I found it best to use GIMP with a transparent background) and import it, convert it to a .vtf file (and make sure to have it generate the .vmt file as well), and place both the .vtf and the .vmt files into your team fortress 2/tf/materials/VGUI/logos folder. If the VGUI folder doesn't exist, just make it (and make sure it's all caps), same for the logos folder. If you did it correctly, once you launch TF2 it should show up under your spray list in the Multiplayer tab. There's another program to make animated .gif files into .vtf/.vmt files, but I forget what it is and I've never used it. I'm sure if you look around on FPSBanana you'll be able to find it. Something to note: This works with ANY valve game that has in-game sprays, not just TF2. CS:S, HL2: DM, any mod; as long as you place it in the correct folder, you should be set to go.

Apparently there's another glitch with the heavy you can use to glide around in the default pose. 1. Spin up your minigun in spawn, then use the equip command to switch to the other one. 2. Do a taunt. This should glitch your animations and leave you looking like a heavy civilian.
