Most absurd gaming moment

[Diablini]

What is the most absurd thing that has happened to you in a game? I'm talking any situation that can't happen in reality or is just absolutely ludicrous.

Here's mine:

While I was playing Civilization IV I noticed the Germans were using Judaism as their state religion. That made my day. Too bad Hitler can't be the leader of the Germans in Civilization.

I shall say one thing.

Plasma grenade + Glitch = Iron Man.

Most games are based around things that wouldn't happen in reality. So wouldn't we just be pointing out anything in 90% of games?

Every second on Saints Row 2

In Halo CE, the level with the flood on a covenant ship. There's an armless flood which is chasing a grunt at the start of the level (since it has no arms it can't hurt you). Usually I kill it straight away but my brother was playing and he wanted to see how far he could get with it in tow. So he and his pet flood went through the mission together. It was bizarre. Can't remember how far he got with it.

True Crime: New York

When I first played, I was on a motorbike chasing someone in a Skyline... sorry "Skylime" and was shooting at him from behind, accidentally dropped into precision aim, hit the petrol tank.

Large explosion. I hit the brakes, but fly straight into the ball of fire. I hear:
Marcus: ARRRGH!
and his health disappears.
He flies out the other side with no legs, stops, sits up, looks at his bloody stumps and shakes his hands like "WHAT THE FUCK?!" at them, then collapses and dies.


I was just like

I think it's absurd things in that situation. Like, if you were in space, what would be absurd.

Third base then they agreed to see other people.

Probably has to be when i was playing GTA: San Andreas and i was on a motorbike in the San Fierro airport and i fell through the earth, got a massive stunt bonus and landed on a prostitute in Los Santos. I was gonna fly there anyway but oh well

Let me copy this text form my review of Psychonauts:

"I also liked the wacky situations going on in this game. For example, there's a dentist who is obsessed with brains; there's a world where dogs live in alleys, hiding from the bull El Odio, which symbolises a mad artist's torment, and their only escape is art; there is a talking mutated fish which tries to kill you, then befriends you and carries you around a lake in its mouth; there is a situation where your childhood memories (in the circus) mix with your camp counselor's (whose father was a butcher), and you need to run around a gypsy circus made out of meat, fending off crazy, mutated, rabbit-like creatures hell-bent on killing you while your counselor tries to catch a bunny. Need I say more?"

EDIT: Aw shite, nina'd.

I actually just reminded myself a few minutes after I published my review, and you can't edit it, sadly

Playing COD4 on my PS3. I'm admittedly not very good.
I was playing online... decided to throw a frag grenade in the general direction of the other team who were over the other side of the map. Killed this guy... out of sheer luck. He swore at me a bit after seeing the killcam.
Died a few times and then did the exact same thing with my grenade. Killed the same guy. He went nuts... i rofl'ed.

Probably the funniest moment was playing GoldenEye multiplayer with three friends. We had agreed to do three against one, since I was the best player. Made sense, since I owned the game and was the best at it. They all gathered in a large room, I climbed up a staircase and fired 10 rounds from my RCP-90 into them. They all started yelling at each other saying the other person shot them, by the time they were done one was left. Picked him off easily. It was just fun since we were all in the same room and they were yelling at each other. I really miss the days of split screen multiplayer. That and the time I was called a cheater in counter-strike. A guy was hiding behind a low crate, and I knew that the half-life engine used hit-boxes that extended out from the actual model. I fired a few rounds into the air right above the crate and got a headshot. He was extremely pissed. Knowing how the game works isn't cheating, but I would probably be annoyed as well.

Smackdown vs Raw 2008. Just a graphic glitch, but I thought it was strange.

I was standing on the announce table and tried to grab my opponet up for a Tornado DDT, but hit the buttons I assigned to a vertical suplex instead by accident. My wrestler did a headlock+suplex motion without actually touching my opponet, cause he was still standing on the ground before the table. What did the opponet do? He did a front flip onto the table I was standing on, as if he was actually being suplexed through it, even though my character was standing 3 and a half feet above him and grabbing air. Table broke, opponet's health bar red, pinfall for me.

Even WWE video games nowadays make no bloody sense.

Few years ago, quake 2 LANparty, deathmatch. Being the usual railgun nut I get it at the start of the match and promptly start sniping the opposition. For some bizarre twist of fate, this resulted in me one-hit-killing the same guy some ten times in a row. I wasn't trying to kill him expressly, I'd just shoot the first thing that moved... it just so happened that the first thing that moved was him, over and over again. The guy got so mad I could hear him swearing on the other side of the (large) room, and at some point he came at my computer to make sure I wasn't cheating. Then he dedicated the rest of the day to smacking me down every time he saw me (without much success, heh heh).
Pretty sure he hated my guts from that moment onward...
