I know everyone's been loving this, so I'm sure they'll be happy to know that there's another part to it.

It involves deploying sentry guns and teleporters under the map where nobody can reach them.

There's another classic griefing video from way back, but I can't remember what game it was from. It was a military FPS where these two grunts get some payback on another player who was being a complete tool.

One was a medic and the other had a rifle and a knife. One shot the victim and mortally wounded him, then both ran up to him and stabbed him to death. Immediately the medic would heal him but, before he could get up or do anything, the other griefer would stab him to death again.

This went on for, oh five/six minutes, with the poor bastard being killed and revived dozens of times. His voice over chat went from being angry to pleading to almost crying as he begged them to stop.

Definitely one of the funniest acts of bastardry I've ever seen.

It looks like he uses the momentum he gains from jumping off somewhere and translates it into horizontal movement by very quickly jumping forwards.

Reminds me of the old game Thief where you could bunny hop so fast, if you hit a wall you'd instantly die from the impact.

Sorry about the quality, it's hard to find to good videos that don't have music or TF2 sounds overlayed on them. You really need the original noises for the full effect.

Why is it that EVERY fighting game has people like this? Don't hit me when stunned, it's cheap. Don't spam fireballs, it doesn't take skill. Don't climb up the wall and vanish for five minutes, it's boring. No throws, they're too powerful. Wah, wah bloody wah.

I don't see why throwing is such a taboo in fighting games. It's a move, that's all. There are ways to counter or avoid them, and if you're crying about being thrown then learn to play better and not put yourself in a position to be throw-locked.

People will take anything they don't know how to deal with and call it unfair, cheating, or cheap.

Back in the day when people still went to arcades, I could generate massive freakouts by attacking players in Street Fighter 2 when they were dizzy. Somehow it was dishonourable. Good lord did some people get upset over it.

But if you really wanted to send someone over the edge, there was a move guaranteed to do it every time - get them dizzy and then throw them.

Right now Goonswarm and their allies control something like 90% of the game's supply of some resource needed to build mining ships. They also have a campaign going that's led to the destruction of around 1500~ish of these ships in the last two days. So either they can starve everyone else of a supply of these resources, sell them for inflated prices, or laugh as they pay 120% market value to get them anyways. I believe their resource is also vital to the construction of almost any advanced item in the game.

So yeah, the economy probably won't collapse, but they're certainly doing a great job in loving with it.

Can't people just fly off and find new areas to explore? I mean it's space, right? Second star to the right and straight on 'till morning and all that poo poo.

Ha, I didn't hear slut, they are so garbled when they yell into the crummy mics for the PS3/360. The same guy did this video and it's even better than the other one. One guy is just screaming into the mic every time he gets knifed.

I love how they're raging so much, when the root cause is their own poor performance.

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.

My favorite thing about those Black Ops knifing videos is that apparently only pussies use knives.

And ignoring how a knife kill is called a 'humiliation' because you have to be a lovely person in the first place to get stabbed by a knife while holding a machine gun.

TTT has one of the whiniest player bases I've ever seen. It's amazing how many people see a game of mystery and paranoia and want to reduce it to a series of carefully laid out rules.

Because 1) they suck at the game and 2) the only thing which is important is their enjoyment and their score.

You see them in every game, constantly making up bullshit rules to try and force everyone else to be weaker than them and create a situation in which they always win. No using rocket launchers, no using this machine gun, no running people over with jeeps, no laying down smoke in corridors, no attacking until you've bowed and satisfied e-honour, blah, blah, bullshit.

It's a pathetic attempt to overcome their inability to cope with and compensate for a changing, dynamic game world.

I wonder if real pirates ever had to deal with that. They just try to do their piracy in peace but then some guy is complaining that it's immoral to be a pirate. Swayed by his powerful words, all pirates agree that it's a pretty lovely thing to be and they give up forever.

Many real-life pirates were incredibly organised, with well written codes of conduct and laws. Which only applied to themselves and were designed around not screwing each other over and having a captain who wasn't a complete wonk.

Viz, some Elizabethan era pirates, namely Bartholomew Roberts. AKA Black Bart, who wrote these in 1721:

quote:

ARTICLE I - Every man shall have an equal vote in affairs of moment. He shall have an equal title to the fresh provisions or strong liquors at any time seized, and shall use them at pleasure unless a scarcity may make it necessary for the common good that a retrenchment may be voted.

ARTICLE II - Every man shall be called fairly in turn by the list on board of prizes, because over and above their proper share, they are allowed a shift of clothes. But if they defraud the company to the value of even one dollar in plate, jewels or money, they shall be marooned. If any man rob another he shall have his nose and ears slit, and be put ashore where he shall be sure to encounter hardships.

ARTICLE III - None shall game for money either with dice or cards.

ARTICLE IV - The lights and candles should be put out at eight at night, and if any of the crew desire to drink after that hour they shall sit upon the open deck without lights.

ARTICLE V - Each man shall keep his piece, cutlass and pistols at all times clean and ready for action.

ARTICLE VI - No boy or woman to be allowed amongst them. If any man shall be found seducing any of the latter sex and carrying her to sea in disguise he shall suffer death.

ARTICLE VII - He that shall desert the ship or his quarters in time of battle shall be punished by death or marooning.

ARTICLE VIII - None shall strike another on board the ship, but every man's quarrel shall be ended on shore by sword or pistol in this manner. At the word of command from the quartermaster, each man being previously placed back to back, shall turn and fire immediately. If any man do not, the quartermaster shall knock the piece out of his hand. If both miss their aim they shall take to their cutlasses, and he that draweth first blood shall be declared the victor.

ARTICLE IX - No man shall talk of breaking up their way of living till each has a share of l,000. Every man who shall become a cripple or lose a limb in the service shall have 800 pieces of eight from the common stock and for lesser hurts proportionately.

ARTICLE X - The captain and the quartermaster shall each receive two shares of a prize, the master gunner and boatswain, one and one half shares, all other officers one and one quarter, and private gentlemen of fortune one share each.
