Topic: What's the funniest/craziest thing you've ever done in a video game?

Posted under Off Topic

So, I thought this might be a fun little thread.

1. I was playing GTA V as Michael about a month ago. I decided it would be fun to run around the pier in boxer shorts and a hockey mask and kill people. It was pretty goddamn fun.

2. Airlifted a Rhino tank to the top of the tallest building in the game and drove it off. It exploded, but holy shit, it was epic.

3. Got in a police chase in a bulldozer. It didn't last long, but I had fun flipping police cars over with the bucket.

If you have played Driver 2, you'll know what I mean with this:

Chicago + Very fast + Bridge + Get out of the car ( + )

If you didn't... well (until 2:18)

Oh my god yes. I was always obsessed with trying to jump a school bus over the bridge, but I did that a lot too. Never thought to look it up, but 854 views makes sense.

The PS1 days were great. I remember in MoH:Underground, if you typed SSPEILBERG into the cheat screen you unlocked a velociraptor for multiplayer. It was always funny seeing a goofy looking, bright orange raptor with his mouth open come around the corner and open up on you with an MP40.

My dad was a big fan of getting stoned and playing Driver 2 My family is pretty rad btw. and he liked to just follow a random car at legal speed limits. He said eventually they just explode or start spazzing out and clipping through walls.

Iunno what the craziest thing I ever did in a videogame is tho. They all got different standards...

Played Skate 3 with my cousin and we ran into each on accident. The next moment, our skater's bodies were molded into one skater. We were in awe at we just witnessed

And it can be done in Havana too, but it's harder. I remeber playing that game until "Out of tape" appeared on the screen and then disappeared (about six or so hours)

They just clip through walls (making that glitch I posted above) and steer randomly

I have to get a copy of this game. I've seen a shitload of gameplay videos on YouTube, and it looks hilarious.

I once went to shoot someone from a crane in BF3 and ended up sniping a pilot flying his jet between my shot...

And as if that was not crazy enough the jet curved and slammed directly onto an enemy tank....

I was playing GTA V earlier today as Michael. Each character has a garage in which they can store four cars. I was in cover in the entryway to his garage and I killed the driver of an SUV, which proceeded to slam into the wall inches away from me. It was scary as hell.

When I was little I was playing sonic adventure 2 on the dreamcast I was on sky rail zone and a chain of floating robots was above me so I charged up the dash attack and the dash attack realeased and the game glitched or something cause it would not stop spinning so I pressed a lot of buttons and Shadow's body mended with one of the robots and the game froze compleately and so did the music on one note like a techey scratchy sound

Back when I had a Minecraft server I made a plugin to crash clients. I used it kick grieffers over and over.

I am sure they didn't think it was funny, but on my side it was funny as hell ("WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU STUPID ADMIN!?").

Beautiful.

Reminds me of the time when my friend got accused of "walling" in MW2 for looking out a huge window in terms of "how stupid can you be?"

I can hardly remember any of the crazy and silly stuff I've seen or experienced in video games. I've certainly had my fair share awesome accidents, clutch plays, ridiculous chat, funny physics fails, quirky coincidences, and so on. Nothing really stands out as particularly memorable.

I drove a var through a gravity anomaly in stalker and it threw the car about 2 kilometers up and eventually came back down with me in it

I spawned an instant kill anomaly right over the spawn point of a sniper that was on infispawn and it created a stream of bodies that just flew up into the air

Updated by anonymous

This is more of a bug, but in Battlefield 4 I was driving over a hill in a tank and for whatever reason I suddenly catapulted into the air and landed on top of, and destroyed, a passing-by jet with the tank. Everybody that saw it died laughing because it was so incredibly well timed and absurd at the same time. I wish I had it on FRAPS.

I played both driver 1 and 2 and loved doing that physics glitch where you hit the roof or underbelly of a car and it can send you high up into the air,

Doing the rocket nozzle glitch in Super Mario Sunshine and going miles into the air.

Setting up a bunch of cars and then running them over with a monster truck in rigs of rods, and then watch my frames drop.

Haha! I remember that! And in Driver 2, the glitch on the train in Las Vegas, you barely touch it and it fills like half of the bar (with an undamaged car).

I was playing that a while ago trying to do the bridge one :P

I don't know if this is crazy or not but my favorite game growing up was Roller Coaster Tycoon and on one map I had about 60 some years of in game time pass (about 60 hours in real life time), a stupid amount of money, and every square of land land being used.

Eventually I started raising certain squares of land and building a bunch of power launch roller coaster just to see how many rides i could pack into the park. I think I got about 20-30 power launch coasters going at once but with those plus the rest of the massive park, the game started to lag a bit.

Unfortunately that poor old gateway 2000 bit the dust and I lost those save games. however I do still have some screenshots of some tract designs I made from RCT2.

You sound like me, I always made a specific designated food court. And my paths where so complex people kept getting lost. I liked building cave systems to house my food courts and stuff xD

Anyways my fav games I have to say is,
the elder scrolls series, minus online.
The Sims, fav exp was the Sims making magic, the creepy carnival was like my Sims fav place to hang.
Sims 3, all of them except the stupid "oh where going to turn it into a mmo simulation!" Show time expansion.

Oh oh!
Here's one I doubt ANY of you haven ever heard of. It wasthevery first computer game I ever played and I have seen only one similer game after it.

SUB CULTURE

The only game like it ive seen is Submarine Titans

I also have a thing for the command & conquer series, well cept the online broweser mmo and the last tiberium game, #3 it Sucks cuz they limit how many units you have at any given timen... and you can only have one type of builder (in this case the thing can walk around) that spawns buildings and infintry. It massively limits the game, I used to build a massive army of G.I and just swarm the enemy like ants at a pincnic.... cant in numbah 3

(funniest thing I can remember) I was playing Sleeping Dogs for the first time, and I decided to grab someone, but for some reason the person glitched out and de-spawned, so it looked like I was grabbing onto a wheel. I then proceeded to run around the world saying "NYOOM" whenever I turned.

Also, in inFamous 2, I made a tower of cars.

Not just any tower. It was meant to reach for the moon. But as it turned out, it was just a texture :I

Playing Undead Nightmare, had John on a roof when he suddenly had a seizure and flopped off into a horde of zombies.

Also, in this old PS2 FPS Fire Warrior, the NPCs must be deaf.

Enters a room with 2 guards standing on opposite sides of a narrow hall. A Commissar stands a few feet away, staring away from where I enter.

I throw a grenade, hoping to kill all three, or at least the guards (Commissars take two grenades despite wearing less armor).

The grenade auto-dets when it's between the two guards, turning them into virtual chunks that fly everywhere.

THE COMMISSAR STOOD STILL LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED.

And then I shot him in the head with a sniper from 4ft away and he not only survives but raises his chainsword and murders me.

Ah, storytime, storytime. Please skip if you hate reading/Halo.

Halo 3 was the game, that golden shining game, where a very memorable, if not entirely fortuitious for all parties, ocurrence, uh, occurred.

I believe his gamertag was something along the lines of 'bigmac1313', and he was every bit as clever as his pseudonym implied. We were playing CTF on whatever they called Blood Gulch in that one (Coagulation?), and he would consistently take a Mongoose (ill-protected ATV) on his own to the opposing base in a misguided, yet repeated attempt to capture the flag all on his own. Teamwork was simply not an option for him, and attempts by our team to contact him went unheeded, his headset off and the Disturbed cranked up to excessive volume no doubt.

I was working closely with two of my best friends in the whole world, and gosh were we good at Halo. Myself, I'm not a big FPS player, but vehiclular combat has always been close to my heart, so I drove. I drove the shit out of that Warthog (3-man Willy's Jeep equivalent). I could predict every roll, every pitch and yaw of every jump in that beast, always landing on my wheels with almost catlike grace, and I worked in total sync with my gunner.

Friend One, well he did all the shooting for me and probably several other peoples worth. He had his sensitivity maxed, and would utilize the sniper rifle in ways that would embarrass a bot. His typical strategy was to sniper-hoard and shoot from nigh-unreachable, sometimes outright glitched places in the map. His greased-lighting reflexes, preternatural steady hand, and ability to prioritize targets made him the perfect gunner.

Friend Two was a versatile Jack-of-All-Trades type that acted as our flagman. His head for teamwork and can-do attitude scored a lot points, and he had gotten to the point where he would exit the vehicle, obtain the flag, and return by the time I had driven to the other side of the base, avoiding trouble all the way. It was pure magic.

So, we had just completed one of these runs, and were returning to base, flag in hand. Only a few seconds after I had begun the return trip, I rounded a blind corner, and there was bigmac1313, on his rediculous ATV, heading straight for us.

And no-one blinked.

Despite the damage we took, it was surely nothing compared to the chorus of laughter he had experienced as his flailing corpse crested the glacis of my own flame-wreathed vehicle, the constituent parts of his stupid quadbike strewn before us. Then we returned the flag and won the game. The moment was subsequently vidcapped by all and we spent the next several weeks swapping screenshots and regaling the tale to others. Great success.

Jedi Knight 2.

Maxed Force Jump and Force Pull. Open area with a lot of stormtroopers.

Ran out in the middle, Jumped. At apex, aimed down, Pulled.

I landed softly. Three seconds later, a crescendo of screams is ended by the multiple clatter of stormtroopers hitting the ground at terminal velocity.

I was playing Call of Duty Ghosts with my friend earlier. We were playing a TDM on the DLC map Fog, which is creepy and full of horror movie references. Anyway, I was fighting through some enemies when one of their corpses suddenly freaked out and jiggled like gelatin for a few seconds. It was pretty funny.

I don't know if anyone here knows about the gate glitch in GTA Online. The glitch only works online, because you need another player to act as the fulcrum so the gate will launch your vehicle. Anyway, I was in a Blista that I stole from the house near the gate. The gate launched the demolished Blista back at the house I stole it from. It managed to land the car in a place that is inaccessible in a motor vehicle. One-in-a-million shot, there.

Glitching skate 3 at a friends house, I don't think we'll ever recreate those ones.
CRASHING WORMS ARMAGEDON WITH CUSTOM WEAPONS! Custom weapons crashed it. from tactical nukes that do 0 dmg, to a death missile with 0 blast radius. I mean, we terraformed the land but failed to kill each other.
And many more, like in TESV: Skyrim I discovered the console, so I purged the city of the prison guards and the Silver-Blood family, ALL OF THEM, even the essential.

Oh, you can still have a shitload of fun with a command console. Assuming the Skyrim console has a noclip command, you can access areas which usually aren't accessible otherwise. Doing that can reward you with secrets and Easter eggs.

Gigant mudcrab... Combine it with "setav health 10000" and have fun :P

Talking about Skyrim... Once I've reached a point in the game where the enemies started using pretty high level weapons. That's when I realised I've neglected my equipment because I couldn't take two hits without using tons of potions to patch myself up. So I've used the console to get some ores and increased my smithing skill quite a lot. Then I've increased my enchanting skill pretty much the same way. Now I have a custom made glass armor and weapon set, improved to legendary, and with double enchantments. No one can stop me now. Maybe I should increase difficulty...

craziest thing i can think of right offhand was that time i was playing mercenaries 2 (xbox 360) and went and bought a crap ton of nuclear bunker busters and proceeded to wipe that HUGE black oil company building you get missions from off the map. iirc even with those bunker busters that building STILL took one helluva beating before crashing down...

i should play that game again, and the first one if i can >.> emulator, 'nuff said (i know the rules concerning those and won't mention anything download related)

edit: as for funniest...i'm sure everyone has seen the type of graphics bug at some point or another where your character would get stuck somewhere then proceed to start twitching around madly while the graphics screw up and make it look like the various body parts were stretched super far to the point where it looked utterly ridiculous. that's probably the funniest for me depending on the game and in-game music at the time.
