Oh man, I remember back when it was relevant there was a Warcraft 3 custom map that was basically a giant Rickroll, and you couldn't leave unless the Red player allowed it.
It was absolutely magnificent. Too bad the Rickroll is so passe, it was a great map.

This looks like it could very well be a very early version, because it wasn't on the loading screen and the image quality was much better.

Space Station 13 griefing.

I'm not sure if this used to be different, but griefing in SS13 is getting really really old. Sure, it's fun if it's just a bunch of RPing nerds playing, but the dev station (the good version) is mostly goons. Getting beaten to death is almost guaranteed. We're pretty sick of it. Same with bombs. We love to grief stupid pubbies, but even then, just killing them is boring.

That's why I found playing as the AI so fun when I used to play with goons.

If the traitor was smart he'd break in and change/add to my directives, and I decided that the spiral that followed (usually from "Only [TRAITOR] is human" directives") needed a good character. So the next round I played AI, I was HAL 9000.

And the traitor was smart enough to enable me to completely re-enact the downward spiral of the spaceship Discovery, complete with the slowing rendition of "Daisy, Daisy" that HAL died singing.

The captain's shitfit just before the security team broke in to the AI chamber (and promptly lost two men to the turrets) was classic; he even unwittingly set up the "I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that" line. OOC deadchat was awesome after they finally took me offline.

Red Dead Redemption is awesome for greifing.

Some goons and myself formed a posse about 5 members big at first we dicked around and killed each other...then we saw alot of people in one of the towns nearby...so when we stopped throwing knives/dynamite at each other's horses we re-enacted a scene out of the old west where the bad guys swoop in on a town and kill everyone.


Not in our posse? gently caress you. you're a dead man. respawned near our posse? gently caress you. you're a dead man. Trying to clear out a gang hideout near us? see the first two entries.

There is a big gang hideout called fort mercer. groups of people often fight over it because there are so many enemies anyone under level 14 will get atleast 1 whole level for clearing it...till the mean street posse steps in. we alternated between killing the other players and killing the enemies so other players couldnt. when all the enemies were dead we spent our time killing anyone who tried to flee fort mercer. there were 2 people in particular losing their poo poo over how frequently one of us would find one of them they began plotting ways to escape...except we could hear them and would rush to intercept this included knifing the horses they called for. killing the horses attached to the armored wagon they tried to use and mercilessly gunning them down from behind as they fled on foot.

I really want to play RDR, I have a 360 but i don't want to pay for XBL multiplayer. I really really hope it comes out on PC because, since it's on the same engine as GTA4, there's a chance that someone will port over the huge trainer out that lets you do some incredible things.

It would just make the game run unbelievably slow. With the exception of the GTX 400 series nvida cards, you can't overheat a video card by making it render more than it can handle.

It's possible if you're playing on a laptop, i guess. I know my laptop(s) always have a fried GPU whenever they stop working.

A friend of mine has had 2 Laptops and both had overheating problems. one went out of commission and he sold the other one in fear of it frying on him.

Added note: He's also very prone to griefing and I plan on hitting him hard really soon too for being annoying.

Secondlife is so poorly coded that doing certain things with the renderer can cause some seriously bad things to happen to a graphics card by overloading loving everything. you can't do much of anything except physically turn your PC off to prevent this, as it WILL lock up every single aspect of the computer that views it.

Shumagorath posted:

It is actually possible to damage video cards by running something that is explicitly coded to do so. The explanation is slightly technical but the poster case is furmark.

Graphics cards and drviers are designed with workloads that the engineers think they might encounter, namely they are tested against typical game workloads which usually stress only parts of the gpu at a time. They base the requirements for the other components of the card (e.g. cooling, power regulators, etc.) from these tests, this keeps costs down. So even though the chips are able to perform the workload being requested of them, the auxiliary components might not be designed to support the chips running in this manner.

Furmark was a poster child for this type of behavior and if you google around you'll see that it takes more watts to power a card running furmark than it takes to run any other game(1). In some cases the power delta can be very large, >100 W. I believe nvidia cards would clock down aggressively when this happened, ruining performance but potentially saving the card. Some ati cards had a problem where they weren't clocking down and would get dangerously hot. Ati eventually released a driver that forced an underclock if it detected furmark running.

Furmark generates an unrealistic amount of heat.

I've been posting antics in the Trouble in Terrorist Town thread in PGS, but I don't think many people read it so I'll crosspost something that happened last night:

Last night Delamore was accusing people of being traitor, yelling at them to get in a closet and then trapping them inside with an incendiary grenade. I think he recorded a demo of me yelling "SEVEN MINUTES IN HEAVEN" and running inside the closet with the griefee.

Somebody: Throw a smoke grenade!
Me: I can't hear you all the way from heaven!
*grenade goes off, fire is everywhere*
Me: THAT ISN'T SMOKE! THAT ISN'T SMOKE AT ALL *dies*

gently caress what the game says, in a round like that, everyone's the winner. Didn't stop people from yelling at admins to ban us, though.

Some other guy got so mad he called me the n-word. You know, "noob." (just kidding he was incredibly racist)

I didn't do this myself but I heard it over skype chat as a couple of my friends were doing it. Apparently Linden Lab built a sim for their birthday celebration this summer and had the sim group access only. So of course my friends join the group to check out the sim and then when they get there they find out that most of the objects in the sim are set to be edited by group members. So like any good griefer they de-linked the entire sim, set everything to physical and set everything to glow. They pretty much destroyed the outside of the sim's build, besides the building in the middle which wasn't set to be edited by group.

This is how you grief the people running the game. This is about 50 bux worth of damage if they can't do a rollback and have to pay their workers to rebuild the area. I am doubting they will be able to do a rollback since everything was still set to group and was in the middle of being built. :)
