The last gun you need to kill someone with is a projectile fired from the ballistic knife. Not too terribly difficult, but just having the knife equipped increases your stab range/speed, so anytime I'm about to win I go around efficiently loving up everyone's day until I get bored and win or enough people quit. Stab kills don't count as weapon kills, so the game can last as long as ten minutes if I want it to.

Ovo posted:There is already a forum/thread for endlessly bitching about Diablo 3, take it there for gods sake. Buddy of mine does this, but with the added touch of having a persona while doing it. Anyone who plays with him gets introduced to "The Humiliator." More or less, he runs around knifing people and loudly proclaiming HUMILIATOR into the mic in a deep, hillbilly accent. This pisses people off like no other. And it doesn't stop there, he'll toss in extra quips depending on the situation. Get's knifed? "I wasn't ready yet." Get's called gay? "It sounds like you wish to cuddle with me in a corner. I must politely decline your advances." Best one was a short conversation between him and someone. Victim: "What the hell was that?" Him: "A unicorn of some sort." "A unicorn?" "Of some sort, yes."

Yes, I do in fact speak german. One last thing on Diablo: Inferno mode is in fact designed to kill you, you even die from normal monsters in one hit mostly and I have no idea how you're supposed to counteract that. So good luck finishing that one on Inferno at all. There is a Klingon dictionary out there somewhere that has Klingon proverbs, insults and common phrases, I tried those on a couple of people once but got no reaction out of them so I guess I didn't come across the right hardcore nerds. I can't believe I didn't post the best thing Dental ever did though, I don't think it has been posted here yet, unlike that Territo thing. We dubbed it the Bridge Of Death and there are even some neat videos! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swB-CbSZZdw The video description explains it quite nicely and the fallout was just unbelievable. The forums exploded with rage, we were accused of literally raping those people, someone reported us to the FBI, it was just great.

Yes, self destruct causes damage to friendlies and increases the damage from when you explode, they since have patched it to work only in combat and do pitiful damage. There is no way to enter combat mode in any social map. You also can't shoot enemy players on your bridge anymore but murdering part of their crew works just fine. The thing about the self destruct part though is that you need multiple ships to do it at once and it's an inconvenience for about three seconds. There's no penalty, no disadvantage, you just get to watch your oh you died animation and can hit respawn as soon as it's done and nothing else happens. The bridge thing is a little more of a hassle since escaping it would require people to stay logged out for five minutes. Seriously, those people are raging over a three second inconvenience and an issue that would be resolved by logging out, taking a shower, a poo poo or getting a pack of smokes from wherever. In STO you literally can't be griefed unless you let it happen and for that the reactions are nothing short of brilliant. Morglon fucked around with this message at 23:41 on May 26, 2012 |

As far as I can remember, the reason why self destruct worked so well was because: 1) Everyone arrives in Earth orbit in a tiny area. 2) Self Destruct damages almost everything in that area. 3) Ships getting killed from this ALSO damages everything nearby, after a little 'death animation'. Which led to a chain reaction of exploding ships around earth as the traffic is usually high and if you werent paying attention (and who would, Earth is the safest place around) you'd warp in and get blown to smithereens if you didnt engage full speed the moment you arrived. And your ship exploding would probably catch the next poor sucker coming in.

SynthOrange posted:As far as I can remember, the reason why self destruct worked so well was because: Yes, new arrivals share an area in space, same goes for people one the way out and you can move freely on that map if you want to. This came into play again later down the line when Cryptic "fixed" mines again to have friendly fire enabled. Took them a day to take it out again but that day was glorious. You always wanted to go for the chain reactions but those were usually pretty hard to maintain since you needed about three top tiered ship explosions to take out anything but the smallest ships so while you'd pretty much take out the center of the group the periphery would mostly take minimal damage. They never raged any less than people who got blown up, how dare you take down their shield and maybe scratch the hull.

Any game with decent grenade physics will end with you being called a hacker. The original Modern Warfare had pretty spot on grenade physics. It also had tons of people who loved to try and camp around corners or on rooftops to get "free" kills. The problem is they would almost never leave those locations, so you'd know exactly where they were. Bounce a grenade off a wall through a doorway? Sure, they might see that coming and dodge though. Bounce it off an awning, down onto the corner of a windowsill and in so it lands on top of them from behind? WTF HACKER THREW A GRENADE THROUGH THE WALL. There was also a map that had a 3 story tall building that overlooked a central courtyard, with ladders going up the outside and a stairway going up the inside. There were fences so you couldn't really use it as a sniper paradise, but people would go up there and try to use it as a fort, because they could drop claymores on the ladder and the stairs and they'd probably hear you coming up either one even if the claymores were gone. Solution? Sprint across the courtyard, jump and throw a grenade straight up. You'd get just enough height to clear the fence on the rooftop and just enough hang time that the grenade would explode about chest height off the ground. That is on top of the fact that people already see grenades as "noob weapons" to start with. Zaodai fucked around with this message at 08:24 on May 27, 2012 |

Several years ago I played a MUD called 3 Kingdoms. One day I was experimenting with ansi codes (various codes that created color in game) and I found ^[[32D. Turns out it's the ansi code for destructive backspace. Basically in a m.u.d. when you send someone a tell they see "Dingus tells you: Hey what's going on?" But when you tell someone this "Dingus tells you: ^[[32DValkyrie tells you: You're a complete tool" what they would actually see with most term programs is "Valkyrie tells you: You're a complete tool" After realizing this I shared the secret with 2 of my friends. The next 3 months became less about playing the MUD and more of an experiment in human nature. We often: -Sent fake tells to wizards (who could code/kick people out of the game) of lower players raging at them only to laugh when they were dest'ed out of the game in some grand way and came back wondering what happened. -Destroyed friendships -May have destroyed a guild by convincing a wizard that his entire guild membership hated his guild. The guild was closed to be recoded and then never brought back. -Convinced one guy he was being stalked by a man. (it was actually a woman using a very androgynous name. -Convinced that same woman that she was being flirted with by that guy and then watched a full 3 hours of confusion and rage in the shout lines between not only the people involved but their friends as well. -Inspired a kid who caught us doing this (his term didn't have ansi enabled) and only laughed off what we were doing and then began doing the same thing. This kid was helping run another mud and later wound up not just hacking 3kingdoms but also stealing their entire lib and making his own version of 3k inside of his mud. This was the greatest monster I have ever helped to create. I wish I could remember all of the chaos that had happened because of this. It went on for about 3 months and when someone else finally figured it out, they had caught that kid doing it and not us. He had been banned because of it and that had really been what pushed him over the edge to eventually steal their lib. After the destructive backspace had been figured out the mud was patched to not allow escape to create the ^[ character in it. I really loved that MUD but that experience also taught me that given any sort of power, I will use it to try and destroy people just for laughs.

For one, he's got a knife while they have machine guns, but he's still dominating them. "Oh, my gun sucks, that's why he keeps killing me with the knife." Second, it's a game where everyone is trying to kill you and they can come from any direction at any time. But just about everyone the guy kills is wandering in straight lines and not looking around them for threats. And the little kids in the second half of the video were just adorable.

This one may be slightly long and I may forget to explain things. If I do, tell me so I can change it. This wasn't me, but it was excellent. I will try to explain several things, probably out of order, because you'll need to know them to fully appreciate this grief. There is a browser game called Kingdom of Loathing which you may have heard of. It's a satirical game loaded with pop culture references and humour of... lots and lots of humour. To play the game, you receive adventures (turns) every day at a certain time, which let you spent those turns in various zones to encounter monsters and such. It's really not possible to explain this through a text medium because the game is a lot more complex than that and I am also not very clever. Google is your friend. As with any MMO (for lack of a better term), there are bosses. The bosses I am specifically referring to (though there are many, many others) reside in a dungeon/instance called Hobopolis. It is populated by hobos. There are a total of seven zones in Hobopolis - the Sewers, which each player has to traverse if they want to adventure in the instance proper (basically a gating mechanic, largely meaningless, not important but mentioned for completeness' sake); the Town Square, which contains 3000 hobos, and five subzones, which contain 500 hobos each for a total of 5500 hobos. If you kill all the hobos in a subzone, you get to fight that subzone's boss. Each boss drops a number of consumable items - when consumed, they give you stats (like in an RPG) and turns. This dungeon is completely optional and you don't have to do it to 'win' the game. More on this later. The goal of the game - as much as any MMO can have a goal - is to beat the bad guy (who's actually a girl), free the princess (who's actually a king), then ascend onto a higher plane of existence... then repeat the process. To some people this is fun in itself. To others, who do it a lot, it's become a competition to see who can do these runs the fastest. The current fastest possible run for a standard ascension (I said 'ascend' earlier, pay attention neckbeard) takes two days for the optimal crowd. The lead developer of the game (known as 'Jick') has referred to these people as dickstabbers: The following quote is not exact, but you get the idea: quote:There are some gamers who like to enjoy the content, they play through the game and enjoy it, and there are others who are super-competitive and like to beat everyone else. It's like, if you give them a choice - they can either gently caress the prom queen for 10 points, or stab themselves in the dick for 11 points - most of them will choose to stab themselves in the dick, because although it's not as fun as loving the prom queen, it gets you more points. (Everyone likes Jick.) Periodically (every 3 months), there are preset 'holidays' that occur in the Kingdom as references to real life holidays, like Easter and Thanksgiving. Specifically, the Thanksgiving holiday, called Feast of Boris, allows you to use more food-type consumables and thus generate more turns to play the game longer. As mentioned earlier, the bosses in the Hobopolis side zones drop consumables, which are some of the best in the game. Hobopolis is designed to be completed by clans/guilds of many people. The more people you have, the faster you can kill all the hobos to kill the side bosses and the final boss. What some of the dickstabbiest of the dickstabbers did was clear the entire dungeon, except for the bosses, in preparation for the above-mentioned Feast of Boris. They would then ascend on that day, go through the sewers, and systematically take out every boss in the dungeon to get their consumable drops, since they would have only limited access to their items after they ascend and the items dropped by these bosses wouldn't be under this restriction. (really hoping I haven't left anything out here) Each Hobopolis sidezone is aligned with an element. Each of the bosses in each of the sidezones have their own gimmick and include the following:
That's nearly everything. Hold on guys, we're nearly there! There are some items in the game which allow you to apply an effect to another player. One of these is called a WANG, which applies an effect that corrects typing mistakes in chat, apparently (I've never gotten it to work). Another is a glass of warm water, which causes the target to "have an accident" and applies an effect which prevents the item being spammed. Effects applied by one player to another can usually be shrugged off, which removes the buff. For some reason, the WANG and glass of warm water buffs can't be shrugged off. As previously mentioned, the fastest ascension run possible is currently 2 days. For the Feast of Boris, the dickstabbers were attempting to do these runs in a single day. Keep in mind that a 2-day ascension is still bleeding-edge fast, so 1-day is the bleeding-edge of bleeding-edge. So the dickstabbers each head down to Hobopolis - each dickstabber has their own personal instance of Hobopolis, even though it's designed to be completed by multiple people. Each dickstabber is going to kill their personal Hobopolis bosses and use the generated turns to try to get the fastest time. (here we go) As mentioned two paragraphs up, the WANG and glass of warm water buffs can't be shrugged off. Ol' Scratch debuffs you if you have more than five buffs. You see where this is going. Enter Rentbot. Rentbot is presumably someone on an alternate character looking to protect the identity of their main character. His (or her) strategy was to wait until one of the dickstabbers was preparing to fight Ol' Scratch, then flood him with WANGs and glasses of warm water so that he'd be debuffed and lose the fight. The buffs removed by Ol' Scratch couldn't be reapplied because of the bleeding-edge nature of the one-day run attempt. As such, literally months of planning were ruined in about ten seconds with no opportunity for recourse. None of the dickstabbers completed their 1-day attempt. To follow up, Rentbot then sent this particular dickstabber two in-game items which had the sole purpose of removing an effect, good or bad. Classy. (god gently caress this is long)
