What was your most frightening Internet experience?

[guidance]

Recently? Probably Marble Hornets. Specifically Entry 46(if you keep up you know the one) scared the pants off of me, it took me totally by surprise.

Dude, episode 54, holy shit. That scene will not leave my mind, ever.

Sounds like you got a computer virus after you looked at the image

Double-back: Okay, after I tried to post the line above I got a "page not found" and when I refreshed I receive The Escapist's 404. Wooowwowowowowowooooh! Freeky jeeky, not that I care. It's all fun, games and coincidence.

Sudden captcha that I didn't have when I tried to post: "Read me, Write me".

I was using a dying iPod that crashes all the time.

I dunno, I kind of got a poor impression from the part where it seems you plagiarised the meaning intended to accompany "Offended".

i haven't seen the page, so i don't know what you're talking about. but i'm assuming it's got some kind of collection of images portraying gore and/or brutality, and you think there's a connection between these things and the horror of which i refer?

i envy you, a bit.

Creepy stories and images don the internet don't really bother me though those loud, ear-raping screamers get to me, but its more a reaction in surprise and pain than fear.

The one exception maybe would be this [http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/detail.nhn?titleId=350217&no=31&weekday=tue#] comic, truly creepy.

Oh christ... that just made me shriek like a girl and alt-f4 out of the page. It was worse because it was the second time I read the comic- first time I had noscript on so I couldn't hear the moaning, after I read zhukov's post I deactivated it. *shudders*

Few creepypastas have kept me up a little later than I usually go to bed but never any all nighters. Marble hornets kind of freaked me out too.

Probably the creepiest thing ever was playing back in vanilla WoW. It was towards the end of the game before burning crusade came out and I went to a random server, made an undead warrior and started questing. I was like lvl 5 and was killing a spider, the only person there in the leveling zone and all of the sudden I see a player running towards me. He seemed to be running right towards me so I waited to see what he wanted.

The guy comes up to me and just stays silent for a bit, so I ask if he needed anything and he goes "Hi Logan."

That's my real fucking name on a server where I know NO ONE and in a zone where nobody but me and this other player are. It scared me so bad I just logged out immediately and deleted that character.

I'm sure it was just a coincidence and he was waiting for his friend Logan to make a toon but it still freaked me out so bad.

Does the Bioware Social Network count?

Yes... yes, it most certainly does.

Okay, I have to ask... what made you afraid? Was it the thought that if you were a troll you might get banned from playing your games offline? Cuz that is done/over (unfortunately).

Was it the fear that you might be called out for saying you'll never play another one of their games, but you still did?

Was it the fear of accepting STEAM type intrusive programs onto your computer?

Was it the fear of being socially against the grain as far as minority internet vocal fan sites go?

Was it because it's cool to not like EA? (kinda the same thing as my last question, sorry)

Was it because you fear change? Do you fear the future?

lolz... don't mind me, I'm just askin questions cat dood.

For me, it was the fear instilled from reading a sexually charged analysis of Quarian sweat molecules.

The knowyourmeme entry gives reference to the intention of the creator(s) of the offended page. Saying it was meant to communicate that a person's petty gripes about the ED contents, showed no importance when faced with the horrors of the real world, shown through the images on the page itself.

Your statement was very similar to the one being made by offended, referenced by knowyourmeme, so I got a bit suspicious, but I can't say anything for sure. It seemed likely in the context.

What could be more horrific than reality?

I was once playing a browsergame called upgrade unlocked 2. Now in this game you have to upgrade everyting, from the menu to the background music to the loading screens. So I was happily upgrading all cheap options to make the game playable when I noticed that one I ticked was called "Upgrade heartbeat".

So I remember wondering how this was going to.....WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!. Then I threw away my headphones and needed to catch my breath for a few minutes.

 

[Rikomag132]

My first time seeing the "Offended" page on Encyclopedia Dramatica.. all the way through. Painfully so.

Every. Goddamn. Screamer. Image. Existing. Today.

WHY!? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! TO ANYONE?! Oh dear god that was horrible.. And I didn't even see it all the way through, not even half.. *shudders*

I regret ever coming to this thread, and I shall now leave to never return. My eyes, they burn!

 

[Wierdguy]

I desided, for reasons beyond even my own understanding, to see if LemonParty -really- was as bad as everyone said...


It was.

Yes... yes, it most certainly does.

Damn, BSN has such weird stuff hidden in its depths. My favorite is an image of Wrex thrusting his cock up Ashley's (who's tied up) nose.

that kind of thing involving Ashley and Wrex doesnt surprise me....

....but up her NOSE?!...her nose?....wtf

Y'know what, the b**** deserves far worse.

Shooting my favourite character...I was just about to get through to him. She got left for dead that day. No regrets.

Probably that damn comic. The japanese one with the sound effects.

CRRRRACK.

*sh** pants, close browser, close laptop, run out of the house*

Also, pictures of spiders. People who post those are going to the same special hell as Fox executives, the inventors of screamers, and Ashley.

 

[Anti Nudist Cupcake]

Oh come on OP, you can describe the picture to us. Come on! For me?

OT: Nothing much. There was this one flash animation of a smiley face that came out of a TV and stabbed a boy that freaked me out for a while, but I have seen worse now.

MR.HAPPY FACE!

I love secretAgentBob's videos.

 

[TerribleAssassin]

Kittens on Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Oh god. Never again.

And Screamers, and some Creepypasta's/Slender Man/Fucked up ARG's.

For me it's a close tie between two different really fucked up things that haunts me til this day.
First was (I don't remember where i found it) a blog about a girl leaving her current boyfriend because she told the guy herself she had been cheating on him, it was well written and the girl was kinda hot and all but in the end I should have seen it coming but STUPID as I fucking was I kept reading.
She talk about how much her sex life has improved after she and her "new boyfriend" had been getting it on and how much better he was on fellatio and in the end of the blog she had an picture of her and her new boyfriend "getting it on" so of course I clicked it, that day I found out what bestiality was....

The other one was a master troll move from a Swedish sexual instructional/educational movie called The Language of Love (the remake) that pretty much covered EVERYTHING from same-sex relationships to what and what not to say in the bedroom.
After about half an hour in the female narrator was commenting an the subject of male masturbation, this guy pops up and then his junk pops up in closeup, he the proceed to jerk off while the female narrator was narrating the whole act in real-time. I really should have stopped the movie at that point but the best was yet to come.....

Oh god yes, that one too.

Spoiler

He effing RAN INTO THE ROOM. He scared me enough when he just stood there staring at you. I didn't sleep well that night, to be sure.

 

[theparsonski]

I got an email from a spammer guy which had a picture attached. It was a massive hairy penis. Gave me such a fright.

Edit: Also, 2 girls 1 cup. Biggest error of my life.

So. Fucking. Wrong.

I don't know about most frightening, but Marble Hornets kept me up for a night or two.
