I prefer hanky-panky to shenanigans.

Me and a friend playing the new AVP just now, and as Preds, toying with our enemies. Both of us as Preds, vs 2 marines, vs 2 Xenos.

An excerpt of some of our dialogue;
Friend; Oh hey dude, there's a human there, you wanna kill him?
Me; Nah, I need to recharge energy, you have him.
Friend; *Sigh* Fine. *FWAP*

(FWAP here being the sound of the plasmacaster instagibbing said marine).

We even enacted a policy of "calling your attacks", by shouting out something like;
"Hey Xeno on the cliffside, gona spear him!"
"Ok cool"
... *WHACK!*
"Nice hit!"

Good times.

Man, now I need to find that absurd game where it looks like virtua fighter graphically but movements are incredibly absurd and one guy has an attack that involves posing like a torpedo and flying around. And the battle ends with a crouching punch to the crotch.

You complete a challenge that way, I believe. Droppin' Crates, it's under the Humiliation tab, I think... I forgot.

Anyway... Similar story, but with Halo 3. No scoped a guy all the way across the map on accident when I dropped the controller.

Nearly maxed Shiva's level in FF8 before even getting Quistis in my party. Oddly, GF level faster than characters, so Squall was under 20 somewhere I think. Basically, boss battles become insanely easy for at least the first part of the game under those circumstances. Also, T-Rexaurs actually become manageable.

Quake 2. I had a rocket launcher, I spied someone up on a ledge. Fired a rocket, then he nailed me with the railgun. We both died. We respawn, I'm right by the rocket launcher spawn point, so I snag it again. I go into the room again, see someone, fire...I get killed by the railgun again...and the guy gets hit by the rocket again.

And it was by two different people too.

Back when Super Mario Kart was the newest Mario Kart out there, I was playing a battle with one of my brothers and he was sitting still and somehow, through veering and... the planets being in alignment or something I managed to fire a red turtle shell in a perfect orbit around him, it just kept circling, never getting closer, but if he moved it would throw off the rotation and hit him. It was pretty awesome.

Halo 1, Blood Gulch. I'm on one side of the map with a Rocket Launcher, and fire a missile. Now those things are S-L-O-W.

We continue to play for about 2 kills. All of a sudden, "Game"

I got my last kill because someone ran into my missile on the other side of Blood Gulch about 1 1/2 minutes later. O_o

I know this is off topic, synk, but when is Yoruichi-sama going to come back?
