Actually, for me, the most important thing is just getting it out there and search engines crawling on it so that when people eventually start searching for "GTAV review" or whatever, this comes on and confuses and people start thinking that maybe there will actually be Breaking Bad references in this game (hint: there won't). People have already reposted it a few times some of the stupider ones are making new threads asking if it's real, I guess. edit: And it took no effort to make that at all, like 20 minutes.

Arcanite posted:I know people like to whine on the internet, but I doubt many people will care if you insult a game by saying it's pretty good. Some fools would think that's not an insult at all. You would be surprised. People flipped their loving poo poo when Gamespot gave Twilight Princess an 8.8/10, and I'm sure the 8/10 and 7.5/10 The Last of Us got from Gamespot and Polygon respectively provoked similar outrage. Those were all legit reviews from high profile sites though, I assume they didn't just make up a ton of poo poo. People aren't gonna buy that some random rear end nobody got a super early review copy, and seeing that it straight up makes up a ton of poo poo is only gonna compound that.

NinjaPablo posted:Gates were so much fun. A group of us used to gate people directly into private houses. The only problem was, you can't actually gate into a house like that. The workaround was to have someone in the house cast a gate into a town, and have a second person (in town) lure people in with 'Gating to IDOC!', then casting a gate spell as the same time, but cancelling it at the last second. As long as the 2nd person was standing in the right spot, it looked like they cast the gate. Man combine that with the bit where you could "forcibly" res someone over and over before they put in the confirmation prompt with their skills degrading every time and you got a stew.

We used to go out and tame Dragons and then boat out to a little place known as two-tile island (exactly what it sounds like, a very small island that is only two tiles) in UO. What you would do is park a boat next to the island and lock the planks, then release the dragons on the boat and recall out. You then gate hapless fucks to two-tile island where the dragons kill them with ranged attacks. If they are lucky they have the stuck command available to them, if they are unlucky, they get to sit on the island until either their page is answered by a GM or they can get someone to come out and get them. Bonus points if you have fishing nets and can fish up a bunch of sea serpents and poo poo around the island to make rescue all the more difficult.

Jesus christ, the brony saying "she had a younger sister who was ten billion times cuter and hotter" about an 11 year old   Also the guy going into the one person's house and trying to explain how the ownership of the house actually works. "Does man own the mountains and the rivers as well?"

So today in Team Fortress 2 some friends and I got tired of playing normally and decided to start gimmicking. At some point we decided to become pacifist heavies sitting in a corner. We had 4 people, 2 on each team just sitting in a corner not doing anything. Some Scout on our team got super loving angry at us for being useless and started whining over voice. After about 10 minutes he called up a vote kick on one of us and said "Hey can we kick these lovely heavies sitting in a corner being useless assholes." and one of us gets kicked. We were not having this. I called a vote kick on him for scamming and typed in chat "he scammed us out of our fun and stole our friend." as a joke. "Yeah right human being, like I'm go-" Then he got kicked somehow. We left the server after that because we were in shock we actually got that vote to pass (also boredom (mostly boredom)).

As I've learned with my rear end in a top hat friends, Vote kicking for Scamming is basically 95% likely to get the person kicked, regardless of what actually happened.

Back when you could simul-queue for battlegrounds, anyone that pissed me off would get insta-voted out. There were some times when I made up a story in chat like: "BlazzerX just told me he voted for John McCain!" then I would initiate the vote kick. Yeah that guy didn't last long.

My favourite vote-kick was when my friend and I were doing Dungeon Finder dungeons in WoW (you queue up and it then matches you with other people so you have an easy party) - after sitting in the queue for about 45 minutes waiting for a tank we finally get one and right after everyone warps into the dungeon one of the DPS says "brb, it's my birthday" and leaves us twiddling our thumbs. After about five minutes of waiting I decided he's dead weight and initiated a vote-kick that passed. The reason given and for which everyone voted for was "Happy birthday".

At times like that do I wish the reason someone got kicked from a group was displayed to them once they've finished loading back where they were. Then I remember how terrible the WoW community is. And I've got a bit of a griefing story from recently. My guild leader asked me if I wanted to tag along for some LFR (basically, WoW's easy-mode raiding). I accepted, but decided to give it a go on my Protection/Tank Paladin. Said Paladin's gear is... Incredibly lovely would be putting it mildly. We queued up for the first half of Mogu'shan Vaults (probably the easiest LFR), and beat the first boss fight without much trouble. As we're clearing the way to the next fight, I find out that I somehow came in as a DPS instead of a tank, which threw off the two other tanks, since nearly all raid bosses these days are only designed around having two tanks. They got rather vocal about it, up to threatening to kick me, despite my attempts to explain to them that my DPS gear was even worse than what I was in. We eventually got through the next boss without much hassle and with the other tanks cooled off a bit, and made our way to the last one in that half of the raid. At that point, I decided to try pushing their buttons one more time, and started trying to mess with them by taunting the boss into attacking me as much as I could before the other tanks would realize what was up and taunt back to themselves. As it just so happened, said boss has an ability that has the side effect of making him focus exclusively on attacking whoever his current target is, and I managed to time my taunt just in time for me to get hit by that ability. To say the tanks and others in the raid were immensely pissed off that a certain guy wasn't getting hit by the boss wouldn't be doing it justice. They told me they were kicking me (Blizzard implemented a mechanic to prevent people from being kicked from a randomly-formed group in the middle of fighting a boss or rolling on loot), were reporting me, and so on. I decided to stoke their anger by having the boss focused on me as much as I could for nearly all of the fight, managing to keep alive because my guild leader was a healer and also found it hilarious. Really, I regret not taking screens of it, save that there was... A lot of rather racist, homophobic, etc. insults flying around the longer it went on.
