Boredom Resulting in Destruction

[TRR]

How many of you have played a game so much that you have done everything there is to do in the game? How many of you in your boredom have then tried to create your own fun by doing everything in your power to make the game lag or crash? For example; exploding a pile of barrels in crysis. I want to hear what some of you have done to make your system scream with agony.


My favourite thing to do is something that I like to call "Eco Surfing" in Jak II (PS2). What you do is go into giant dark jak, and use dark bomb ON one of the hellcat cruisers. There are two possible outcomes. One, you fly into a wall. This kills you and leaves your corpse spinning in mid-air. Two, you successfully ride the shock wave, which causes you to rocket away and drop the frame-rate to about one per second. That's not all, because of the games physics engine, the damage radiates from you and not the shock wave, this makes everything you pass die or explode in a beautiful shower of deadly purple lightning.

In MGS2 I filled a guards body with enough lead that it slightly caused my game to lag. In R&C I used the R.Y.N.O. to the point i got my game to freeze. In Saints Row I caused so muh carnage that the game I think exploded. So much board fun.

I got atleast 30 cars next to eachother and blew them up in gta4

Having unlimited money is CS 1.6 and flooding entire maps, namely fy_poolday and other fy_maps, with dropped weapons using a script that automatically buys and instantly drops your weapon until the server or your own computer crashes

A tougher question would be when does boredom not result in testing the destructive capabilities of a game for me. ]:-}

 

[I III II X4]

PS3 - Oblivion: Location: Mages Gulid University Library.

All I did was cast a weak fireball spell, *chunka-chrrrr* books, goblets, skulls, and food pirouetted through the air in slow motion.

I wasn't trying to kill my system, I merely wanted to see what would happen if I casted a fireball in the library.

These things sound so awesome, i'm almost sorry I don't have the game to actually break them like this. Well... crysis I have but I didn't like it that much to start messing with it.

Playing Doom on the PSX, gathering up a whole screen full of enemies in The Suburbs and then hitting them with the BFG. You could overload the texture cache and crash the system if you do it right.

Oblivion...I copied millions upon millions of watermelons ^^

 

[DirkGently]

I built so many Protoss Cruisers and maxed them out with fighters that the moment they attacked something my system froze.

In Oblivion I duped something like 100 sigil stones on the stairs of my wizard tower which is on top of a mountain. They would roll down the stairs and go flying in every direction off down the mountain.

After I did it I went back in the tower and just thought maybe I'd see one of the stones later at the bottom of the mountain. Well every time I would go out the door it would respawn the stones at the top of the stairs and the whole mess would happen over again.

If you haven't played Oblivion, or never actually dropped a sigil stone they have a red glow and make a humming noise. About 100 of these shooting off in every direction would lag my game to shit and I would have to deal with it every time I left the front door =\
