The funniest things to happen to you in a game?

[The Geek Lord]

As the title says.

Once upon a time, that being earlier today, I was playing my newly-imported Gundam Vs. Gundam Next Plus. Fuck Dissidia, GvGNP outranks it by about a thousand times[footnote]Dissidia had 22 characters, GvGNP has 66, as well as level design that DOESN'T SUCK. Dissidia was fun and all, but... My god the level design was awful. Most of the time I lost it was in that god damn purple maze place, mostly because I couldn't fucking see what I was doing. Not to mention dodging in GvGNP takes a little bit of skill, as you have a limit to how much you can dodge as opposed to mashing R+X. You lazy bastards.[/footnote]... Mostly because it was made by Capcom, people who have been making fighting games for... How many years now?

Anyway.

I was playing as Exia and had pretty much everything else at random. A fight came up where one of my two opponents was MASTER ASIA, THE UNDEFEATED OF THE EAST!

... Sorry, I couldn't resist.

What happened next was frustrating at first, but hilarious after I thought about it.

I flipped the Trans-Am switch[footnote]Basically, Exia's super mode, for those of you who haven't watched Gundam 00. I recommend you do watch it though, even if just to make fun of how cheesy it can be at times. The villain gets saved by a Disney-level song about peace at what point. I'm not shitting you.[/footnote], and, almost immediately, good ol' Master Asia grappled Exia with the beam towel and swung me around so much that Trans-Am timed out and then he immediately killed me.

So, Master Asia gets low on health and goes into super mode, and I don't even hit him with the GN Sword. I just shoot him with my tiny little beam-pistol-thing installed in Exia's sword. And then I obtained victoly. I am winner, you see.

This entire speech would probably make a lot more sense if you had any idea how the game is played. [http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gundam+vs+gundam+next+plus&aq=0]

For those of you with PSPs, the PSP doesn't have a region lock, and I'd recommend giving it a look if you could.[/advertisement]

For an example that makes much more sense...

One time I was playing Zettai Hero Project. I'd finally almost cleared that fucking 60-floor-long dungeon, only to be killed in one single hit by fucking Flonne. Floooooooooonne. Of all people... Why is Flonne level 600 when I cleared the dungeon at 87 with little to no trouble.

I'm going to bed, fellow escapists, so why don't you all share with each other those humorous little moments that form part of the reason you play video games in the first place?

I can see that you've put a lot of thought into this post, but right now I can't really think of any funny moments of the top of my head.

Ooo, wait!

Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes on Gamecube. Goes something like this:
Me: "Hey, a security guard *tranq pistol*."
Meryl: "Snake, why did you do it?"
Me: "Oh, woops."
(Colonel) "Snake, what happened? Snaake! Snaaaaaaake! (Snake) [small]Meryl...[/small]"

The time I played CoD1, and a German enemy decided to do a commando roll over a wall, then another roll back over it, then another, then another, etc.

Umm, the time I shot the guard on top of Megaton in Fallout 3 from below and he flew backwards into the air over my head. Physics fails ftw!

 

[Dectomax]

Well, it probably wasn't funny for the people we picked on, but...When playing battlefield bad company 2, me and a friend found a new game to play. We find a camper...normally a sniper and play the defib game. This basically entails my friend drilling him in the face with the repair tool, for me to then revive him so he can be drilled again. This all happens within about 4 seconds and you can clearly see the look of "OMGWTFBBQ?!" on his face. At any rate it made me piss myself laughing....

Another Fallout 3 physics fail. I was walking along the road with my companion dogmeat. All of a sudden a super mutant starts running from the horizon towards me. I run forwards to attack it with my supersledge, only to be killed by a random rock that dogmeat had kicked up from when he ran on top of it. I was like "WTF? Thanks dogmeat"

 

[TonyVonTonyus]

Toss up between being shot to death with machine gun wielding gangster then immediately ran over by a police car or a bug in a call of duty game which made a nazi who i hit with a grenade fly across the field horizontally like Superman.

 

[Wolfe90]

Red dead redemption - horse i was riding on dissapears from under me then somehow ends up on top of a high cliff and decides to assassin creed itself and leap off.

 

[Dr. Paine]

In Mass Effect 2, during Thane's recruitment mission, I got a little gem.

I was in the place where you fight off a group coming from the elevator/free some salarians, and was trying to put the gun away once I was done. For some reason or another, I accidentally hit B and punched Garrus, and right after that happened, Miranda chimed in with a fittingly sarcastic 'nice'.

Gotta love moments like that.

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

Fallout 3.

I was walking up to Arefu (I had completed that Vampire quest) When one of those basic Robots, with the laser cells, fell from the top of the sky right onto that old guy who stood guard at arefu.

The robot went spastic and started attacking everyone there, the town managed to kill it (with my help) but then the entire town became aggressive towards me and were hostile until I reloaded a save.

Also another time, I walked into megaton and about 4 guys in Brotherhood Armour came in after me, and for the rest of the game everytime I went into Megaton they were there, running around.

Battlefield 2

I was sitting in a tank on Wake Island, on the north-western control point. Heard the alarm going off (which meant enemies with anti-tank were aiming at me), turns out a Chinese jet was gunning at me and trying to kill me. And it did, but not before I somehow managed to score a quite frankly STUPID shot at the jet, with a tank.

And I must remind everyone, tanks aren't known for being able to fire more than 40 degrees upwards.

Both of us died, but I sat there awestruck by the sheer stupid of the moment.

Playing L4D2 with some friends (four on four, survivors vs infected match) I was playing as infected to be treated to the sight of one survivor falling down a hole in a suspension bridge, then while he's hanging on the edge (as survivors do in L4D) another survivor tries to help him up only to fall, and hang on the edge beside the first survivor. Pure brilliance; especially when one of my friends who was playing as a Spitter walked over to the two survivors, crouched down, and began to claw them in mockery.

 

[RuralGamer]

Oblivion is full of gems for me;

1) The time I was walking along one of the highways and I stopped to watch a legionnaire climb from his horse and attack a mudcrab whilst uttering the line "I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than you!"
2) I was fighting a guard (no reason, I just was) and he uttered the line "This is the part where you fall down and bleed to death!" However as he uttered this, I power attacked him and killed him in one hit (I was using Goldbrand so no realy challenge, so it went like this;
Guard: This is the part where you fall down and bleed to...
Me: Hiargh!!!!!!!
Guard: Argh!!!!!!!
Just the way he died having been cut off mid-sentence was just hysterical.

Yep, those moments are what made BF2; I achieved that on a helicopter a few times, although the most ridiculous moment was when I jumped from the central refinery on Daqing (16 player) and killed someone by landing on them; that was not the intention and yet I survived, he died and I was needless to say, rolling on the floor killing myself laughting.

 

[YouCallMeNighthawk]

Black ops: Someone was blatently trying to get a funny killcam on me by tea bagging behind me and jumping up and down spinning, only for me to turn around and one shot him! lol

I honestly don't see why people just don't kill you instead of going for the silly theatrical kill.

 

[Severin90]

Well its not the funniest but it is the most unintentionally horrifying moment me and my brother had together in a game:

It was Gears of war co-op in a typical warfare mode with some bots and for once we tried to go locust for the hell of it.
Surely we pwned every bot to the ground with ease but when we were heading for the last bot to execute, I decided to use my crossbow. He tries to crawl away from me untill he reach a wall, I shoot him from behind while my brother watches.

The shot went through the bots rectum, through his body and stopped at his head which then exploded. I swear it looked ten times more gory than the standard executions. Me and my brother was silent for several seconds after that..
Since then I had renewed respect for locust. Cruel bastards!!

 

[Adultism]

I was on TSRP on The Specialists and I shot a random shot through a door and it hit the guy in the head, he back flipped, the bullet penetrated and blew out the window behind him, and he fell to the ground. I got Banned xD

Just Cause 2. It's a mission where you have to grab an informant from the Panau military. Having hijacked the humvee he's being conveyed in I race through the desert to the rendevous with the military giving chase. As I come close to it I spin off the road, hit a ridge and the vehicle flips over, does four complete rolls as it flies over a building and lands on its wheels exactly on the drop point.

Couldn't have done it if I'd tried, but it was awesome in its absurdity.

 

[smithy_2045]

One of my mates was going to get some sort of achievement for not dying or something, which I was unaware of, and I may have chased him around and teamkilled him. Twas hilarious for me.

 

[Critical_Sneeze]

MW2 online. A guy creeps into a tiny room I'm sniping from, only to be pistol killed. I figure I'll stay where I am though. He comes back and is once again killed. He then tries to grenade into the room and I throw it back out into his face. This happens six more times (no lesson learned) without me leaving the room before he rage quits. My friend behind me is hysterically laughing the whole time as I narrated the experience.
