How did you make your cyborg fart?

It is literally an emote anyone can do. Just type "say *fart". There are randomized messages, and cyborgs pick from a whole different list of fart messages. It also plays a little sound clip, and the cyborg fart is tinny and synthetic-sounding.

When the escape shuttle isn't exploding in some fashion, it is usually a chorus of farts, burps, screams, finger-snaps, slaps, saxophone solos, harmonicas, and the occasional vuvuzela. The last three are tied to items instead of characters. There are short cooldowns on all those emotes, plus *dance because of how it interacts with space bees.

I'm not sure if that's randomized chance or some kind of special superfart, but in one round someone let such a smelly disgusting one rip near the escape shuttle that several people, including me, suffocated before the shuttle could leave. And i was wearing a gas mask at that point. it didn't help

Sometimes the admins will let loose a fart so astounding that it rattles the entire station both literally, and figuratively.

I'm not sure but I think there's some way a regular player can do it too, but it will also kill them at the same time from the rectum-sundering force.

In addition to the *fart emote, you can also be a "brobot" and activate the synthesizer module for a selection of even more annoying sounds. Way back I did basically the same thing with its meow setting.

... Chasing him down, I neglected to unsafety the extinguisher, also changing my HARM intent, So I was smashing poor little chef in the head with it, repeatedly. Unfortunately for him, the fire extinguisher is something the regulars of SS13 would refer to as robust and so he was quickly clubbed into a state of burning unconsciousness. Realizing my error, I readied the extinguisher and began to douse him, unfortunately again, I still hadn't reset my intent to HELP so I was still crushing his skull while dousing him in fire retardant at the same time. I managed to put him out, but the cumulative damage from the fire and blunt trauma had knocked him into critical health. I attempted to preform CPR but a wily medical cyborg whisked him off to medbay...

This reminds me of my VERY FIRST experience with SS13. I decided to try it out after reading all of the amazing stories and decided to jump on a low population server, which was someones sandbox server. So, I'm wandering around in the dark for several minutes, smashing myself in the face with things (babby's first SS13 action) and I stumble across a guy kitted out in full riot gear with a stun baton. He sees me and asks "hey want to see something cool?" he lobs a backpack towards me and tells me to look inside. Reading the griefing stories was enough to give me a healthy sense of paranoia and so I back off and kind of dance around waiting to see what he does. He runs up to pick up the backpack and the whole corridor erupts in fire. Now on fire, he chases me down the hall and falls unconscious before he can catch me.
Being new to the game I think to myself "I should I help him! Then we will be friends and he will share all of the games secrets with me!" I spot a medkit on a table nearby and rush to perform first aid.

Now, for those who haven't played, SS13 has a VERY complicated medical system. It involves different chemicals, diseases, genetic abnormalities, damage types, and from what I've read the HP system is one of the leading causes of lag; having gone years without anyone wanting to untangle its code. This was back when there were just bruise packs, burn patches and pills, but years of playing video had taught me one thing: a medkit is an item.

However, in SS13 it isn't an item that you use, its a container.
I hold the first aid kit in my hand and I click on him.

"You attack Chesty McButtwad in the chest with the first aid kit."

"OH GOD I'M SORRY" I click desperately around the UI trying to figure things out, changing intents dropping things, switching hands. I mash the medkit against him again and again, blood splattering my hands as I fight to save his life.
"OH GOD WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING. I'M SO SORRY."
Finally I hear his death rattle. I dropped the bloody first aid kit at my feet and stood alone in the darkness. My first encounter with another person punctuated with betrayal and murder. Whoever that was, without meaning to, he taught me alot about SS13 that day.

Nexon NA can't even begin to translate their own games properly, that alone is all the grief and funny you need out of it. I remember on Mabinogi a few months ago they managed to untranslate super old content dating all the way back to the official release. If anything, I would like to hear your stories of how incompetent the company management is, because I've followed Nexon and their schemes ever since I had experience with mabinogi.

I'm most interested in hearing your take on the 100% copy-paste customer service that never helps anyone, even if they were victims of hacking way long ago.

e. By their own games I seriously mean the games that Nexon Korea develops through companies like devCat (Mabinogi) or Neople (Dungeon & Fighter)

I would prefer to not burn bridges and still have some friends there, and never really dealt with management. This is all Nexon America only.

On the occasions I ran into source code, some devcomments were seriously like
code:
// 이 끔찍한 프로그램 소프트웨어의 예에 불과
because some people don't know the difference between EUC-KR, UTF-8 with or without BOM, and ISO-8859-1 or how to save files. I actually wonder how they managed to know what some of the stuff did without any usable comments.

He sounds like the Psychos from Borderlands 2. How is he doing that perfect "in the distance" yelling? Does DayZ have VOIP enabled and the volume is controlled by the distance from other players?

In theory yes, in practice no. All it does it make people use outside voice programs whenever possible, so the divide between pickup groups and pre-arranged teams becomes even wider. If everyone used in game voice chat options it would be great.

I loved the progression of Mark's reactions from the first video to the last. In the first one he was losing his mind and just running. Then he slowly learns to enlist others to help him. Then he gains enough confidence to try taking the lunatic on with a shoot and run technique. Finally he hunts the guy down confidently and doesn't lose his poo poo at all.
