Keep them coming!
The only thing I can remember right now is on Star Wars: Battlefront on the Hoth level is get into one of the ships, get a rear gunner, charge the AT-AT, then jump out of the ship right before we collided. The rear gunner wouldn't notice and would ram straight into it and blow up. I got so many people mad at me for that.
That's like Zapp promoting Kiff to captain of the Titanic in Futurama. Classic.
This happens in 2142 to me all the fucking time when I'm a gunner.
Pilot jumps in.
One of two scenarios plays out:
One: He's a terrible pilot and I could fly a gunship better with my penis while gunning simultaneously. He tries to do a barrel roll and crashes us into a tower or the ground or something.
Two: He's an ok pilot, but he gets almost shot down, and decides instead of repairing that he might as well bail out, so he does. And he doesn't tell me.
The worst though, is the transport pilots who will be flying a transport with 6 people in it and bail out over their target and then let everyone else crash unless they can get to the helm fast enough.
It really jumps from being a prank to being a dick.
It's not that bad in Battlefront because you respawn almost immediately and ships are easy to get. It just gets the other player pissed at you, especially if he's an idiot and doesn't check the pilot when he gets in. I once did it to the same guy 6 times in a row.
Spray Paints on Counter Strike can be used as weapons in two ways. The first is to go to some horrible website, find a shock image, and spray it on a wall. Then camp somewhere and shoot the people as they stare on in shock.
You, your one of people that fricking ruins Counter-Strike and makes it a horrible experience. I hope you download a virus from one of those shock sites.
No, I don't do the spray trick.
If you want to kill people using sprays but don't want to piss them off quite so much. You can replace the shock images with naked women.
Thats what I would do in Day of Defeat. Spray and camp with a deployed machine gun. Sometimes people would actually walk past, stop, then turn and look again.
The only one I could think of is in WoW when myself and a pug summoned the spider god and some random guy shows up before the spider comes out and I told him theres a chest in the water.
It was pretty entertaining to see that troll being chased by a giant spider. and the tells afterwards about how much of a bastard I am.
Anyone remember the transports in Counter-Strike? Why did they take those out?! A-tee a-hee.
Someone mentioned gravity shenanigans earlier. I used to basically do the same thing in...I think it was Quake 1. I'd put gravity very low and wait for my friend to jump. When he was in the air I'd rocket it up ultra high and watch him smash into the ground and explode. Good stuff.
Knocking people into acid during cooperative mode in Quake 1 was good, too. "Never stand still", I say. I'm sorry, I'm a douche.
About 10-11 years ago there was a rash of arsons on the Florida State University campus. Classrooms burned, etc. At the time the Tallahassee Freenet was very popular as it had IRC. There was an active channel for D&D. A friend and I were bored one night, hanging out on one of the main channels. So we decided to fuck with the people playing D&D. We signed off and back on as "TFC" and "TPD" - Tallahassee Fire Chief and Tallahassee Police Department. We joined the D&D channel and proceeded to interrogate everyone there. The thing was, we went so far out of our way to be outlandish and ridiculous that we didn't dream that we'd be taken seriously. Anyone with half a brain would have been able to tell we were full of shit. I mean first of all, like the police and fire departments would conduct interrogations on some random IRC channel in the middle of the night. Second all, our questions/demands/threats were so ridiculous that they defied common sense. We figured it would last about 5 minutes and then we'd be kicked.
But no, they started taking us seriously. And they started freaking out. Protesting their innocence, etc. I think we started making accusations about peoples' sex lives, occult practices, and even stated that they were under suspicion of being in communion with the devil. And so we'd turn up the accusations and paranoia to Jack Thompson levels - we started accusing them of using magic rituals to burn classrooms, etc. We threatened them with 50 years in jail, each, for failing to confess to us. We started 'shouting' "DO YOU CONFESS! DO YOU CONFESS!" And then, as the Fire Chief, I started describing the act of watching a fire as if I, myself, were a pyro. I started rambling about feeling the flames caress my body, wanting to become one with the flames as they danced in my eyes, etc. By this point I was laughing so hard that I was crying. I was sure by now they'd figured out it was just a prank. And then we both got booted and k-lined from the server. It turned out someone had called one of the Freenet admins at home, in the middle of the night, and told them about what was going on. My friend was not as discrete as I had been, and he'd used his real Freenet account for this escapade. Like I said, we never expected anyone would take our exaggerated behavior seriously. His parents got an ugly phone call as well as emails, and he caught hell for it. I've never really been one for pranks. I normally stick to directly insulting someone if I don't like them. But for that one occasion it was absolutely awesome.
Another fun thing is on the first round, when noone has money, buy an SMG and empty the clip, then leave the gun on the ground. When some fool runs by to pick it up, shoot him, then lay the bait back down, and wait for someone else.
But what if they wont walk over it? The game likes to pick guns up for you. Suppose your would be victim doesn't have a primary weapon, throw the gun at them. the game auto switches to it, and they die.
Ingenious.
You can see it playing out in a movie too. "Here, catch!" "Huh?" BANG
That was by far my favorite way to kill people in the Punisher game. Press the melee button when you're in front of an enemy and carrying a rifle or shot gun. The Punisher tosses the weapon into the enemy's arms, he looks down at it and then looks up confused just in time to get a bowie knife in the face.
So I started my epic journey to re-enact my greatest WoW prank of all time and this time I took screenshots, I also had a friend tag along for the journey. Apologies in advance for any H-Scroll rape.
Part 1:
This time around I decided on somewhere a little more obscure for setting his hearthstone. I decided I'd send him to Silithus and set his hearthstone to Cenarion Hold.
Look who makes an appearance to keep me company, why if it isn't my good buddy Archmage Vargoth!
Part 2: I arrived in Gadgetzan and proceed to strip the character of all gear that may help in his journey back to land.
All that's left in the bags are quest items that are of no use, pets, tabards and some random mats. Our good friend Archmage Vargoth oversees the process, the dirty pervert!
Part 3: I make sure to get rid of all his gold so he can't afford to fly away until he sends some gold from another character.
I forgot to screenshot the message, but I sent it to this guys other account so he won't have any clue of what's going on. Again the Archmage is there for company!
Part 4: The journey. I decided I'd bring him to the same place I brought him last time, but this time I'd go a little further.
Just some shots along the way, me and the Archmage chilling with an old buddy of mine.
Part 5: We finally arrived to our destination, where is it? Well see for yourself.
After a long swim we deserve some rest, so me and Vargoth are chilling out at the bottom of Tanaris!
I hope you enjoyed that little journey, and I really want to be online for when my friend discovers what happened!
As I was swimming along the coast of Tanaris, the game thought I was in Silithus so I had to swim back a little bit to get on the map for Tanaris again.
My friend has probably gotten a bit smarter since the last time I did this to him, but even if he manages to get back to land easily, by getting a summon or having someone queue him for an arena or a battleground, he still won't have any money or any gear or any mounts.
I hope he doesn't notice where his Hearthstone is set because that'll be a kind of sleeper prank if he uses it a few hours later :P
I feel kind of bad about this, but I figured it didn't do any harm in the long run. Back when I was about to hit level 40 in WoW I decided I needed to raise some money to get my mount. In order to do this I decided to hold a "raffle". So I created a new character called Rafflemaster or something goofy like that and sent him a single gold. I then bought a bunch of wrapping paper and vendor trash and wrapped it up. I then typed out a nice little form letter about how whoever was receiving the letter had won a big raffle where they won a random item. I then had it cost a single gold to retrieve the item from the mail. After I sent the message to every level 60 who was logged onto the server at the time I had made over 150 gold in the course of two days and a half an hour of work.

Back when shadowbane was new I told my brother where to meet up with me when we left newb isle, but didn't tell him my name.
Well he was sitting in the room with me and I kept killing him and then told him to meet me some where else where there weren't any stupid gankers (I was a bit higher lvl). Well finally on the 3rd gank he realized it was the same person killing him in different random spots...he then took a peek over to my screen and boy was he pissed.
It was also really fun to random summon people in that game and then kill them as they came in. People of course got used to not taking random summons. But if there was a bane going on you could get ppl in guilds who were at war (bane) to accidently accept your summons so you could summons gank them.
The hate tells in that game were the best.
Had to quote this and post, since my sig screencap is STILL from that game. Despite it's many flaws I had an amazing time with that game in its populated era.
I used to steal from this one city, over and over and over. I must have stolen millions from it's guild members, I'd sneak into their bank and gank all their runes off of them and large money sums as they did transactions and then summon out on my second char logged in after a short run from their scouts that had it out for me. They used to heckle me all the time and that was their best tell ever. The funniest part of it all was no matter how many times i stole and was on the run, they never succeeded in killing me once.. joyous.

For the love of all that is holy, please link images instead of hide them behind spoilers. They're still forced to load when you do it like that.
Here's a story I read on the MMO forums here about WoW (can't find the post, so I'll paraphrase).
For those who don't play WoW, the hunter class gets an ability at lv 70 called "Misdirection", which causes the threat generated by the next three attacks the hunter makes to be applied to the targeted party member.
So this hunter was being begged for gold in Orgrimmar by two people. So what he did was he invited one of the beggars into his party. He then went to his reputation window and chose to go to war with the Cenarion Circle (going to war allows you to attack neutral and/or friendly targets of a certain faction). He then applied MD onto the beggar and attacked the high level CC emissary in the city. This caused the CC guy to attack the beggar and eventually kill him. What makes this even better is that the other beggar healed the first victim, so the CC guy attacks the 2nd beggar as well, killing him too.

Someone did this to me back when I played. That Tauren at the base of the flightmaster's tower(That what it's called? It's been forever) was the killer NPC in this gag, right? I just sent my indirect murderer an obligatory "LOL. I'll have to remember that trick".

Yes, that's the one.
Edit: Am I going to do this with my hunter to those goddamn gold-farm advertisers when he reaches 70? Fuck yeah!
In World of Warcraft, pre-BC, I did what I like to call "newbie fishing" on my dwarf hunter.
I'd go to Durotar, the starting zone for Orcs and Trolls. There's one big road running from the very start area, to the next couple low-level quest hubs, then straight up to Orgrimmar. The road is in a canyon which you can't scale from the inside. This wasn't the ONLY way to Orgrimmar, but it certainly was the most convenient.
I found myself a nice little spot that was hidden from pretty much every angle. A rock above me kept me from being seen from on top of the canyon, and I was hard to see (if people even looked up) from below the canyon. Then, I took my pet (a bear named Grumbles), and had him just stand right in the middle of the road.
Newbies react funny to a level 60 bear loitering in the middle of the road.
Naturally, the alts would just run right past it: without being PvP flagged, they were in no danger. Some people were cautious, and tried their damndest to stay as far away from the bear as possible as they walked by, carefully edging along the sides of the canyon.
Some of them decided to attack it. And then they died. Repeatedly, as they're still flagged when they rezzed.
I did this a couple times, and it was really quite hilarious because it was entirely their own faults.
I read the Great Scam story again, I love it. I read it about a year ago. That, with talking to somebody who was in Guiding Hand Social during their great scam make me want to play EVE so badly.
Back when Tribes 2 still had more than a thousand players on at any given time, someone discovered an interesting little bug involving MPB's (Mobile Point Base) and concussion grenades.
The MPB was a ground vehicle in Tribes 2 that moved slowly, took tons of damage to destroy, and was only useful once the driver hopped out of it and let it deploy. Once deployed, a turret popped out of the top of it, and an inventory station opened up on the back of it allowing players to change their loadout and replenish health and ammo. It would also become immobile until a player took the driver's seat again.
Well, it turned out that the knockback effect from concussion grenades would build up while the MPB was deployed. When a player hopped back into it, the vehicle would take a second to undeploy, than it would suddenly blast off from the "stored" concussion blasts, and almost always explode from the impact with the ground, killing the driver in turn.
Not too many players knew about this little bug at the time. I was one of the lucky ones to hear about it early on.
We got a little clever with it.
The global chat coming from the enemy team when they would decide to move the MPB was hilarious. Namely many "wtf?"s and such. It took a bit of sneaking around to pull it off, but it was always worth it to watch the big heavy ground vehicle blast off with many a bewildered player witnessing it.
Bah, that's it? Listen, next time you do this, take him to Orgrimmar naked and don't stop until his corpse is either in Thrall's chamber or behind the blacksmith.
If you don't want him dead, take him to the hidden tauren ghost town beyond Tanaris's borders(same general area as your second prank, but keep going until the world map says you're in Silithus). Or Newman's Landing(walk along the northern border in Westfall until you find a house with a sign by it saying "Newman's Landing").
The wedding dress is a nice touch.
Finally, don't send off all the silver before you go travelling. If you really wanna put him in a far off place, might be better to save the exact amount that you'd need to travel by wind rider to that area, plus the 30 copper mailing charge, no?
Not that it matters, just that i've helped coordinate these types of pranks in the past. The Orgrimmar guy got a nice surprise :P
My friends and I used to have lots of fun playing Quake 2 and 3 at a downtown net cafe. Everyone would be having a great time, until someone went to the washroom or out to get a drink. Invariably by the time they returned half of their keys would be rebound. The obvious choices were things like "/bind mouse2 kill," but after a while people started to wise up. They'd check their bindlists when they got back, but usually only skimmed over it, checking for the obvious ones. So people would start to bind keys that almost never got used to things like /disconnect, or /unbindall.
But the all-time greatest was when a friend of mine rebound my brother's config so diabolically it was hard to fathom at first. What he did was have sort of floating binds, so that when one button was pressed it would rebind a bunch of others, until you've pressed half a dozen keys and everything is totally messed up. Took him forever to work it all out again.
Also, another Quake related story: my Quake 3 config has a completely amazing forward rocket-jump script. So good that it actually forced a mod's dev team to remove rocket-jump scripts altogether. I used to show it off all the time while playing my mod of choice, Threewave. At least a few times a night someone would ask me to give it to them, or at least the standard rocket-jump script that sends you straight up. Mostly I ignored the requests, but there was one guy that struck me as having just the right amount of naivete to believe me if a fed him a slightly altered version.
Now, rj scripts contain within them the /wait command. This command is used in scripts to keep actions from being performed all at once, for instance: "+moveup; wait 400; +attack" lets the game know to fire AFTER you've jumped, which is very important in a rj script. The amounts used in /wait commands inside scripts translate into fractions of a second, so they really don't have much impact on the player. But the funny thing is that during a /wait command you can't do ANYTHING. You can't open your console, you can't open the menu, you can't move or attack or jump. All you can do is move the mouse, to look.
So, I fed this guy the rj script all at once, using my chat command to make sure it didn't accidentally go off in my face, and the script I sent him was perfect, except for one of the /wait commands, which I wrote as "/wait 9999999999." And he actually did it. For a full five minutes he was stuck in the game, I imagine he was also confused as all Hell. You could walk up to him and he'd track you, but he couldn't say anything, he couldn't interact with the game at all. Eventually he had to restart his computer, and we all had a good laugh once |'d explained to everyone else on the server what I'd done.
Happy ending, though. Once he made it back in a apologized for getting the script wrong and gave him the real one. He never figured out what happened, but he was perfectly content after his script actually worked.
Also, I once talked a guy in a random CS pub server to enter /quit into his console so that he could change his mouse sensitivity.

I don't know if this fits but here's one I did as a kid.
Back in the NES days my friend bought a Game Genie. He would always use it to cheat his way through games and such.
One day I got the bright idea to tell him that 'they' had made the Game Genie illegal and that if you were caught with one you'd go to jail for a year. He didn't seem to buy it but the next week I saw that his Game Genie was gone and I asked where it was. He told me he had thrown it away and I was freaking out because he had spent a month's allowance to buy it and I felt really bad. I fessed up and almost started to cry (hey I was like ten) and telling him I'd buy him another one and he said 'sike!' and pulled the damn thing from under his bed.
And that's when I decided to hide his copy of SMB3 for the better part of a month.
I used to have a running joke with my ex girlfriend that if she could ever beat me in super smash brothers, I would marry her. We had been dating about two years and could never beat me, until one day she actually challenged me to a round. Apparently she had been practicing because this was a close match. At the end, when she had me on the ropes, I slapped the controller out of her hand, pushed her to the floor and claimed victory.
I used to have a friend (that was a dickhead so he isnt a friend anymore) that told me his girlfriend came in while he was playing nintendo that he could do anything to her.
He took her to the bedroom, tied her to the bed and went back out to the loungeroom and played nintendo for 2 hours.

Shit like this is what makes it hard for guys like me to get a date.
Dropped a warlock buddy in the middle of nowhere to fuck with him
I did something similar to a buddy of mine a few years ago. He had just started playing a few weeks prior, after a group of friends, myself included, convinced him to try it out. He was gonna have to go out of town for a week or two, and was still trying to level enough to catch up to the rest of us (which I don't think he ever did), so he gave us his account information after we volunteered to try and bump him up a couple levels while he was gone.
We DID follow through, but a day or two before he came back, I took his character out to Astraanar in Ashenvale (certainly not the worst place I could've sent him, and if I were doing it again I'd pick a more entertaining location). This is a city that is basically in the ass-end of nowhere, and on top of that his account had only been active for a month or so and he was a human mage, so he'd never even been on that continent, let alone in the area.
This is not the good part, though.
The good part is that while I DID bank everything that SHOULD have been in his inventory, when he logged in he was in a strange place, wearing a wedding dress, with a backpack that contained nothing but a wedding ring, enough rum to leave a man comatose, and a love note from an orc named Grok.

Cooperative Doom, purposely telefragging friends...
I also made a friend believe that my dad was a programmer and the reason World 4 of Super Mario Bros. 3 was huge is because my pops edited it.
I mostly just harass friends, they punch me, and we move on. This is what we call balance.

Damnit, I would totally go back and do that but it took me 15 minutes to get down there, I have a bouquet of flowers in the bag too.
Oh well it's still pretty annoying for my friend :P
Thats evil. I LIKE IT!

For those who don't play WoW, the hunter class gets an ability at lv 70 called "Misdirection", which causes the threat generated by the next three attacks the hunter makes to be applied to the targeted party member.
So this hunter was being begged for gold in Orgrimmar by two people. So what he did was he invited one of the beggars into his party. He then went to his reputation window and chose to go to war with the Cenarion Circle (going to war allows you to attack neutral and/or friendly targets of a certain faction). He then applied MD onto the beggar and attacked the high level CC emissary in the city. This caused the CC guy to attack the beggar and eventually kill him. What makes this even better is that the other beggar healed the first victim, so the CC guy attacks the 2nd beggar as well, killing him too.

I thought the point behind hiding them was so it didn't clutter anyone's screen who didn't want to see them.
I didn't know it was a loading issue.
Someone did this to me back when I played. That Tauren at the base of the flightmaster's tower(That what it's called? It's been forever) was the killer NPC in this gag, right? I just sent my indirect murderer an obligatory "LOL. I'll have to remember that trick".
Yes, that's the one.
Edit: Am I going to do this with my hunter to those goddamn gold-farm advertisers when he reaches 70? Fuck yeah!

It is for people on dialup.
I hear they have topical creams for that now.
I'd go to Durotar, the starting zone for Orcs and Trolls. There's one big road running from the very start area, to the next couple low-level quest hubs, then straight up to Orgrimmar. The road is in a canyon which you can't scale from the inside. This wasn't the ONLY way to Orgrimmar, but it certainly was the most convenient.
I found myself a nice little spot that was hidden from pretty much every angle. A rock above me kept me from being seen from on top of the canyon, and I was hard to see (if people even looked up) from below the canyon. Then, I took my pet (a bear named Grumbles), and had him just stand right in the middle of the road.
Newbies react funny to a level 60 bear loitering in the middle of the road.
Naturally, the alts would just run right past it: without being PvP flagged, they were in no danger. Some people were cautious, and tried their damndest to stay as far away from the bear as possible as they walked by, carefully edging along the sides of the canyon.
Some of them decided to attack it. And then they died. Repeatedly, as they're still flagged when they rezzed.
I did this a couple times, and it was really quite hilarious because it was entirely their own faults.
Anyway, whether it loads the images or not is a browser issue. It does on IE, it doesn't on Opera.
Your browser is bad and you should feel bad. ;-)
The MPB was a ground vehicle in Tribes 2 that moved slowly, took tons of damage to destroy, and was only useful once the driver hopped out of it and let it deploy. Once deployed, a turret popped out of the top of it, and an inventory station opened up on the back of it allowing players to change their loadout and replenish health and ammo. It would also become immobile until a player took the driver's seat again.
Well, it turned out that the knockback effect from concussion grenades would build up while the MPB was deployed. When a player hopped back into it, the vehicle would take a second to undeploy, than it would suddenly blast off from the "stored" concussion blasts, and almost always explode from the impact with the ground, killing the driver in turn.
Not too many players knew about this little bug at the time. I was one of the lucky ones to hear about it early on.
We got a little clever with it.
The global chat coming from the enemy team when they would decide to move the MPB was hilarious. Namely many "wtf?"s and such. It took a bit of sneaking around to pull it off, but it was always worth it to watch the big heavy ground vehicle blast off with many a bewildered player witnessing it.
Bah, that's it? Listen, next time you do this, take him to Orgrimmar naked and don't stop until his corpse is either in Thrall's chamber or behind the blacksmith.
If you don't want him dead, take him to the hidden tauren ghost town beyond Tanaris's borders(same general area as your second prank, but keep going until the world map says you're in Silithus). Or Newman's Landing(walk along the northern border in Westfall until you find a house with a sign by it saying "Newman's Landing").
The wedding dress is a nice touch.
Finally, don't send off all the silver before you go travelling. If you really wanna put him in a far off place, might be better to save the exact amount that you'd need to travel by wind rider to that area, plus the 30 copper mailing charge, no?
Not that it matters, just that i've helped coordinate these types of pranks in the past. The Orgrimmar guy got a nice surprise :P
But the all-time greatest was when a friend of mine rebound my brother's config so diabolically it was hard to fathom at first. What he did was have sort of floating binds, so that when one button was pressed it would rebind a bunch of others, until you've pressed half a dozen keys and everything is totally messed up. Took him forever to work it all out again.
Also, another Quake related story: my Quake 3 config has a completely amazing forward rocket-jump script. So good that it actually forced a mod's dev team to remove rocket-jump scripts altogether. I used to show it off all the time while playing my mod of choice, Threewave. At least a few times a night someone would ask me to give it to them, or at least the standard rocket-jump script that sends you straight up. Mostly I ignored the requests, but there was one guy that struck me as having just the right amount of naivete to believe me if a fed him a slightly altered version.
Now, rj scripts contain within them the /wait command. This command is used in scripts to keep actions from being performed all at once, for instance: "+moveup; wait 400; +attack" lets the game know to fire AFTER you've jumped, which is very important in a rj script. The amounts used in /wait commands inside scripts translate into fractions of a second, so they really don't have much impact on the player. But the funny thing is that during a /wait command you can't do ANYTHING. You can't open your console, you can't open the menu, you can't move or attack or jump. All you can do is move the mouse, to look.
So, I fed this guy the rj script all at once, using my chat command to make sure it didn't accidentally go off in my face, and the script I sent him was perfect, except for one of the /wait commands, which I wrote as "/wait 9999999999." And he actually did it. For a full five minutes he was stuck in the game, I imagine he was also confused as all Hell. You could walk up to him and he'd track you, but he couldn't say anything, he couldn't interact with the game at all. Eventually he had to restart his computer, and we all had a good laugh once |'d explained to everyone else on the server what I'd done.
Happy ending, though. Once he made it back in a apologized for getting the script wrong and gave him the real one. He never figured out what happened, but he was perfectly content after his script actually worked.
Also, I once talked a guy in a random CS pub server to enter /quit into his console so that he could change his mouse sensitivity.

How to be a douchebag
Back in the NES days my friend bought a Game Genie. He would always use it to cheat his way through games and such.
One day I got the bright idea to tell him that 'they' had made the Game Genie illegal and that if you were caught with one you'd go to jail for a year. He didn't seem to buy it but the next week I saw that his Game Genie was gone and I asked where it was. He told me he had thrown it away and I was freaking out because he had spent a month's allowance to buy it and I felt really bad. I fessed up and almost started to cry (hey I was like ten) and telling him I'd buy him another one and he said 'sike!' and pulled the damn thing from under his bed.
And that's when I decided to hide his copy of SMB3 for the better part of a month.
Even though that was somewhat despicable, I'm still laughing. Props for that last one, it took some teamwork
That is fucking amazing.
Even though I have never played EVE before I want to play it so bad right now. Maybe after finals week.
Holy fucking shit.
I only played this game once, but that part with the sprays made me laugh to tears.
Oh man, the "unpleasant sprays" part
"Nice.
"That's... disturbing."
*smacks it with wrench repeatedly*
"What do you gotta eat to take a shit like that?"
:winky:
That has so many meanings besides the :winky: too.
Let 'em eat fucking pineapples!
I need to remember this line.
I used to have a friend (that was a dickhead so he isnt a friend anymore) that told me his girlfriend came in while he was playing nintendo that he could do anything to her.
He took her to the bedroom, tied her to the bed and went back out to the loungeroom and played nintendo for 2 hours.
Shit like this is what makes it hard for guys like me to get a date.

I did something similar to a buddy of mine a few years ago. He had just started playing a few weeks prior, after a group of friends, myself included, convinced him to try it out. He was gonna have to go out of town for a week or two, and was still trying to level enough to catch up to the rest of us (which I don't think he ever did), so he gave us his account information after we volunteered to try and bump him up a couple levels while he was gone.
We DID follow through, but a day or two before he came back, I took his character out to Astraanar in Ashenvale (certainly not the worst place I could've sent him, and if I were doing it again I'd pick a more entertaining location). This is a city that is basically in the ass-end of nowhere, and on top of that his account had only been active for a month or so and he was a human mage, so he'd never even been on that continent, let alone in the area.
This is not the good part, though.
The good part is that while I DID bank everything that SHOULD have been in his inventory, when he logged in he was in a strange place, wearing a wedding dress, with a backpack that contained nothing but a wedding ring, enough rum to leave a man comatose, and a love note from an orc named Grok.
"Floormaster, use guns!"
Priceless.
