The Hidden: Source used to consume my time.
It's one of those games that's genuinely scary.
Ahh, ha ha.... Damn, I still remember that one time I managed to seriously freak out the I.R.I.S. team... One guy had taken command of the squad, and was barking orders over voicechat. Everyone had bundled up on one side of this tiny little map (it's a little platform in the middle of the ocean. Makes for some rather frenzied gameplay), and he was standing on a railing and keeping an eye out.
I was just wandering around and trying to find a weak spot in their defenses. I was walking past this abandoned hut on the other side of the platform/island, when I suddenly stopped moving.
I had just walked over the door, which was lying on the ground. Due to the wonderful physics system, this meant I was glued in place while the door scraped loudly across the ground, throwing sparks as it went. Talk about a beacon.
I guess I had spent quite a while just staying out of view, because there was obviously some tension in the IRIS ranks. The self-appointed squad leader started shouting frantically and getting everyone to shoot at the door. I started smashing buttons like made to get out of the way as a storm of bullets slammed into the side of the building. I managed to get out of the door's grasp, but I thought I was done for. I ran for a little bit and then looked back to see why I wasn't dead yet.
They were all still shooting at the door. I could hear the leader's voice coming over voicechat as he encouraged his men to keep firing.
There was something in that voice, a particular tonal quality. He was scared. He was damn scared.
I've never felt like that before. And I haven't felt it since. My body seemed to gain an electric current, and my spine was warm with a tingling sense of ecstasy. The only way I could describe it was a "Fear high". Somehow, the fact that I had instilled terror in someone made me feel all warm and fuzzy.
I then noticed a newly-opened weakness in the line. Almost everyone had left their positions in order to shoot at the door, which had caused more damage to me than anyone else.
Almost.
El Capitan was still sitting on his railing and giving orders. Sitting on the railing which was just one hop away from my current position.
*Sproing*
"He's right there, by the building! Shoot him! Shoot him! Sh- wait, what the-...?"
*shhnk*
"Crap."
They managed to get me later on, but it was totally worth it. I had a buzz for a couple hours after that.
