There is a whole youtube channel dedicated to killing a few people with claymores and then hiding. It's called HiddenMasters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-TQp2W8Nlc&feature=relmfu This one begins with a fail but follows up with them hiding on the same map in a different location. They also use that music for every video, but I don't mind because it's catchy and awesome.

In DOTA's defense (oh no) it is an awesome game that has had so much time and effort put into it that its awesome its getting its own stand alone sequel. The community, however is quite possibly the worst of any gaming community ever.

At it's core, it's sort of a Diablo-lite, though more around killing and less about loot. You kill poo poo, whether they're weak but numerous monsters or human-controlled enemy heroes. You level up, get new abilities or improve ones you already have. At level 6, you can unlock your most powerful (Usually most powerful) ability and kick even more rear end. The Dark World RPG map back in Starcraft, which is sort of similar in concept only the enemy is computer-controlled and your allied forces are player-controlled. You start off weak, feeding off weak assaults until you're strong enough to go on the offensive. Then you start taking down bases, supported by your base-building ally. DoTA and similar games have a similar initial pace, where enemy towers shape the early game, but as you get stronger, it moves into larger fights involving more of the enemy team. Rather than facing a dumb AI, you're fighting other humans. It's sort of a neat basic concept that spirals out of control because of how easy the community can ruin it. It's basically a player vs player action RPG with games lasting about an hour assuming they play out fully. The problem is that snowball mechanics can make it difficult to recover from setbacks and it can be difficult to enjoy playing a game where you start losing early on and never fully recover. Take into account the standard sort of person you find on the internet who enjoys PvP of any sort and it makes sense why the community is so lovely.

Experiencing the feeling of 3 players coming from the shadows with stuns and slows trying to kill you and you somehow manage to not only survive with a sliver of health but manage to kill 1 or all of them is just one of the greatest feelings in life. Besides the Community I would say DOTA can give you some of the best and worst feelings. It is a game that you need to experience at least once. EDIT: Although this is a bad reference to good plays in DOTA1 due to it not telling you skills and telling what units are players, it still shows some of the sickest plays i've seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGrKnBJCCjE [I really wish I could go in depth but it'd be boring of me to describe each hero in the video and tell the skills that hero has, what they did, and why whatever happened.] One way to Grief DOTA2 is to be a complete newbie and random pick a hero you don't know how to play at all and telling your team. Another way to grief is to just steal all the kills for yourself and hoarding all the bonus gold, it also makes your Kill/Death score look baller  . It's even better when you build a Dagon [It's an item that when used, does massive damage to target enemy, making killsteals easier]

Anyway, Modern Warfare 2 had a mode called Headquarters where both teams had to take over a small position and hold it to earn points. The game ends when a team gets a required amount or the round timer ends, and the headquarter moves from time to time to keep the game from getting stale. Note that a headquarter won't move if it doesn't get captured, and if no team gets to the score limit the match takes 20 minutes to end (When a normal match usually takes around 5). You can see where this is going. I was playing with a full goon team against some clan and we decided to make the game drag on for as long as we could. Capturing the headquarter takes some time, so we just ignored the enemy and constantly spammed explosives into the point, killing anybody that tried to get inside and not capturing it ourselves. They killed us constantly but it didn't matter because it only took a single grenade to stop them from ever capturing it. They spent the next 20 minutes rushing into a tiny room and dying to grenades over and over, getting angrier every time but never leaving the server. At the very last minute we rushed in and just barely captured the headquarter for a few seconds, earning a single point which made us win the round when the timer ended. They left after that.

It's just dead last. [EDIT] Regarding the Star Wars MMO, it griefs you. The people on there don't really take any easy baits to get angry, and every planet you go to the chat gets progressively more weird. There was an argument in general chat on Tatooine about whether Pokemon or Star Fox was "more gay" to like, and the way they settled the argument was by judging which setting had the better hentai based off of it. It is truly a hosed up place. Zaodai fucked around with this message at 12:55 on Jan 8, 2012 |

For all the talk around that one story, I really enjoyed quite a bit of the other class stories. The JK story really picks up on act II and the bounty hunter story is pretty strong the whole time. On the population eye roll, I constantly see people all the time in the same as WoW levels (On my server, anyways).

I like to do most of the stuff Tenkaris talked about in Call of Duty, only I record it. I've got your typical "beat them with a shittier gun than they're using then try to provoke a message of them" videos http://youtu.be/jr56NY1hs74 But when the situation arises I'll actually put some effort into it. "Quickscoping" is the idiotic way of playing where you run around with a sniper and shoot people as soon as you bring up the scope. While playing some free for all in Modern Warfare 2 this summer this kid that was losing horribly started challenging everyone to a one on one quickscoping match. Some other guy and I took him up on the offer and I proceeded to do everything I could think of to piss him off like using a semi auto (as opposed to the bolt actions which are apparently the only way to quickscope) and spamming the trigger at close range or actually aiming down the scope for more than a split second. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEFbD0S8rJ4 Evenually I played the way I was supposed to and still beat him easily, and it was my first time trying to quick scope. Most of these kids are really bad. Boosting was really popular in MW2. You abused a piece of equipment that lets you pick where you spawn after you die to continually spawn next to your friend in free for all or something, so he can head shot you over and over to unlock stupid camouflages for his guns. You may have seen some of Sandy Ravage's videos on youtube where he hunts down kids that are boosting. Well one day instead of hunting them down I decided to join some kids and "help out" but it didn't go so well for them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0hCkr-0zGw I actually recorded one of them screaming to their mom to wake him up for school the next day. If you frequent the COD console threads you've probably seen them, but I made a playlist in case you want to watch some more of the same stuff http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7127717A824C2965&feature=mh_lolz

In Black Ops, there's Nazi Zombie mode. This mode is mainly filled with children who can't handle the standard multiplayer. There are a few different maps, but my friends and I only played on one: the Pentagon. In this map, you'd randomly be assigned one of four characters to play as: Nixon, JFK, Fidel Castro, and Robert McNamara. Throughout the course of the game, each character would spout off things depending on the situation you were in. Most of them were actually somewhat funny. However, JFK and Nixon each had an especially annoying line that could be produced ad naseum. When the match would start, you'd be given 500 points, which are used to buy weapons and ammo and gained by killing zombies. I would normally go into a match with just one friend,and hope that we managed to get either Nixon or JFK. Whoever did would rush to one of the weapons on the wall and buy it. They would then proceed to mash the X button at the weapon, which they couldn't afford. The character would then say "Come on, I'm good for it!" if they were Nixon or "But I waaaaaant it!" if they were JFK. Understandably, the other two players would get angry, but not because we were spamming lines. No, it was because we were not participating by killing zombies. Once one of them would tell us to play the game, we would comply. After we would gain enough points to use the elevator, we would use it, leaving the other two players upstairs. They would then be forced to spend 500 points to call the elevator back up and go down again. After that, we would open up other areas that had been blocked off, thus allowing even more zombies to pour in each wave. Normally, this is what you're supposed to do, but if you do it too fast you'll be swamped by zombies with poor weapons to fend them off. At one point in the map, this one zombie would spawn that was super fast, had an insane amount of health, and would take your weapon if it caught up to you. My buddy and I would try to screw the other players over by blocking doorways, jumping in front of them, and sprinting off when the zombie got close enough. We eventually managed to have this down to a science, to the point where we could reliably get the zombie to take one of the other players weapons without a hitch. The whole time, we would be acting like we were new to the game, as an "excuse" to why we were playing so terribly. We got plenty of ragemail doing this, and even pushed a few kids to the point of tears. It was a great way to blow off steam.

The thing that weird me out about sw:tor is that in Star Wars, nobody swears. When people get angry they shout "blast!" and compare people to womp rats and nerf herders instead of bitches and motherfuckers. And yet in this very same universe where nobody ever says anything more offensive than "crap" Bioware has crammed their Mature Adult Content where everybody screws and rapes and tortures women. It makes the whole thing feel even more repulsive.
