    My funniest (or rather, most coincidental) moment came from when I played the beta of the MMORPG Ryzom. (Incidentally, the game is just starting up again after a long inactive period caused by the previous owners selling the game. Already registered players such as yours truly can play for free, and the billing system is expected to return soon)

    Three things you need to know about me first: I'm Dutch, I live in the province of Groningen, and my real name is Guido.
    The character I was playing then was named Odiug, my name backwards, obviously. In the city of Yrkanis, another player saw that, and said "Hello Guido". I replied "So you've cracked the code", and he said "My name's Guido too". I said "Cool" and went exploring somewhere else.
    A while later I returned to Yrkanis, and I noticed the same guy from before talking to his teammates - in Dutch, no less. So I went over to the guy and said "Wow, you're Dutch, too?" He said he was, and went even better, saying "My teammate is a Dutch guy named Guido too" So I said "Invite me, we can be the Three Dutch Guidos". His teammate said, "So, would you happen to be from Limburg (province in the southern Netherlands) too?" But I'm from Groningen, way up north, so things didn't get any more uncannily coincidental. Any way, we went adventuring together for a while until my computer crashed. Unfortunately, I never met the other guys again.

    For a brief time I was obsessed with COD4 online, when I started off, I of course sucked, I had a headset mic but keep fairly quiet while all the other stupid pricks are bigging themselves up. One english guy says in a thick manchurian accent:

    "hey atat23, pretty quiet there mate"

    I answered with as little enthusiasm as possible:

    "yeah I'm concentrating"

    at that point he popped up in front of me, shot me in the face and said:

    "better start concentrating harder then"


    It was funny at the time because I'm not too much of a sore looser when I know I'm sucking hard

    Not hilarious but kind of on par with the rest of the thread so far though :P

    Anyone remember that time on Job's TF2 server (or Jon's, I forget) where I was defending on Goldrush as a Heavy, and ended up chasing an attacking Demoman round and round a barrel or crate or something for like a minute before dying, wasting an Ubercharge in the process?

    And then everyone said "Dude, that was embarassing."

    But I laughed. It was funny though.

    Update on my funny HLDM situations. This guy called dumb ugly noob was getting really angry at me, so i decided to screen grab what he was saying...

    First he gets angry:

    back1xy2.jpg

    Then he leaves the game and goes to another server. I randomly pic another US East server and happen to join the one he just joined

    back2mp8.jpg

    I leave for a bit. Come back and join the original server we where on. And guess who was there. He probably thought that i was following him but i wasnt. LOL

    Griefing is only funny if it's done right. And even then, not really. If you want to do this kind of shit then set up something in Garry's Mod.

    The funniest things online for me are things that happen because of how the game is constructed. I think I've already got the story about how I shotgunned someone in the head while flying over them in GTA, for example.

    Well, off the top of my head...the controls for driving the buggies on the beach levels lagged terribly, so all driving was funny and erratic, crashing into walls and stuff, taking four times as long as it should.

    Plus at the time there were two 2-seater buggies and 5 cars, so somebody had to run behind on foot.

    And I drove off a cliff twice in a row, if I recall correctly.

    Not actually an online story here, it was PS2 split-screen, but vaguely similar to your story.

    Remember 007 Nightfire for PS2? How it had the Oddjob's hat weapon that moved slowly through the air but was a one hit kill?

    I once hit a friend with that, from the other side of a map, in the last seconds of a match in which I was one point down, completely by accident. Just threw it out of annoyance and he was standing still cos he knew I couldn't get him.

    "What's that thing flying towards me?" (not the exact wording, but it was a while ago)

    Best draw I've ever had and we were laughing about it for like an hour.

    I have a good one (I think) about a game in BF2 I played a few years back.

    I was just learning to fly and getting my ass handed to me on the air-only servers. It was slow-going with my mouse and keyboard, so I decided to ask my friend if I could borrow his brand new joystick. He'd just bought it and was a bit hesitant, but I eventually convinced him I'd be careful and take care of it. So I logged back into BF2 and started flying around.

    It's so much easier flying with a joystick it's just unbelievable. I automatically started getting better, tripling my k/d score from before in the first hour. Me and this other guy started getting into some serious dogfights, killing one another, respawning, jumping right back in. By the end of the night we were taking it to a whole new level and really getting into it. I was having a blast.

    We got into an especially intense chase, where I was flying behind him and he was desperately trying to shake me, going under bridges in his jet, doing loops and changing things up. We ended up flying right into the clouds at one point, I was gripping on tight and giving it all I had, when-

    SNAP

    "Gyah!"

    The trigger on the joistick snapped off from the pressure and gashed my finger right open. To my opponent, it must have looked like my pilot had blacked out and stalled, because my jet just flipped belly up and started plummeting to the ground. I looked ant the joystick, the trigger a jagged, sharp plastic stump, and them my finger: it was literally cut to the bone. I had to get fucking stitches.

    I took 30 seconds to type out what had happened to the other pilot and he just laughed and said he believed me. Then I told him I had to go to get my finger fixed.

    When I told my friend I broke his joystick the next day, he was pissed. But, being a fellow gamer himself, upon hearing my epic story of glorious death at 50,000 feet, he couldn't help but grin, and then changed his tone to one of approval.

    This was my best/funniest gaming moment.

    Oh shit, I forgot about that. The film for that was brilliant. It's a shame you can't get things from the beta to the full version.

    Thing about BF2 is... J-10 = win.

    If skill is equal. Hell, even if the J-10 user is slightly less skilled.

    Maybe they've changed it in the year I've stopped playing.

    Back in the olden days I was into duping in Diablo II (yeah yeah it's wrong I know, it's not the point) and a new method for duping had come out. The simpler ones that only required one person had been patched; this one required help to pull off. You sent a crafted packet that caused a "ghost" copy of an item to be dropped on the ground. If you picked it up, it would be gone when you rejoined the game. But if you had someone to stick around while you went to another act and came back, the item would become real and the process was complete.

    Well I get someone to do this with me and he joins the game. I make a ghost copy of a SoJ and the guy immediately snatches it and leaves the game. When he realizes it's disappeared (just like I told him it would) he whispers me begging to let him in on the duping.

    I whisper back something to the effect of "you had your chance, you thieving bag of dicks." It was immensely satisfying.

    Well, there's the now classic moment when The Matrix had been released and suddenly everyone online started calling themselves "Neo". I don't remember which game it was, but some guy showed up and said "Hey, everyone. I'm Neo. You know, from The Matrix!". There was a stunned silence and then some bastard replied "Hey, Neo. I'm Babe. You know, from Pig in the City!". Everyone lolled and Neo left in a hurry.

    Also, on a RP WoW server in a pretty hardcore RP guild, a new guy revealed that he was 11 and an alt hunter called "HunterDude". Again, stunned silence and then we discussed naming conventions for a while...

    The funny moments are definitely lacking. The "I'm an enormous dick!" ones are going pretty strong though.

    This was pretty funny, and also my best PVP kill in WoW ever.

    I recently turn 70, and head to Hellfire Peninsula to PVP for some Honor Marks. I'm a Mage, flying around on my shiny new Gryphon, and I see an Undead Mage sitting at one of the flags, capping it. I land near him, and he takes to the sky on his armored Arena Netherdrake.

    So I see now, looking at his schwag, that me winning doesn't seem very likely. So I decide to have a bit of fun, and I fly 30 yards above his head, cast Slowfall, and float down blasting him with Ice Lances and Fire Blasts. I land and fly up again even higher. Undead Mage matches my height, and then gains another 30 yards on top of me. I know what's coming.

    He casts Slowfall, and he gets off one Ice Lance before I Spellsteal him and he goes plummeting to the ground, while I float down cackling. He Spellsteals at the limit of his range, and takes my... Molten Armor. He smacks the ground and dies, and I land next to his body and begin to dance.

    GG.
