I'm pretty sure it's Nethack, but yes. Please remember to state the name o' the game.

Was playing Super Monday Night Combat. For those who don't know it's an FPS MOBA. 5v5 teams, and you can only pick one of each character per team. It bugged out and I ended up in a round with four of the same character, all Sniper types. Thought we would end up getting destroyed but we won. It was awesome.

Killed a boar on top of a makeshift plank bridge, and it somehow got stuck underneath it, flailing about wildly, leaving behind a smoke cloud.

An angry shopkeeper knocked me down near my own bomb in Spelunky.

I also dropped a damsel while trying to grab a golden idol. Crying, she jumped down and.. got hit.

Like all the other similar threads state, name the game so we can minimize the asking about it.
Oops, sorry. Could've sworn I had put it in the top!
It is,  indeed, Nethack.

Not Netball, silly autocorrect.

Why do they get upset so easily? I understand the whole getting hit by an arrow or being thrown at a giant spider thing, but if I gently put her down she runs off crying, and falls into spikes.

Being a DF player has urged me to new heights of mischief in spelunky. A sticky bomb to the shopkeeper's face with a quick getaway plan is great.

And what made me pleased was I took a shortcut to the fourth level, and RIGHT NEXT TO SPAWN was the 'Ash' gravestone (for those who don't know, bombing this grave yields a shotgun, as a Shout Out to Evil Dead.)


Fixed the reference. :3

The Guild 2

Near the start of my game, I'd gotten a small successful business up and running and was enjoying some fairly healthy profits. I'd even won a political office. My main character suddenly contracted the plague, and, him being single and the infirmaries inexplicably not having any medicine, I immediately set out to woo some lucky lady. I managed to get married and have a child shortly before the timer started ticking away on the "plague" icon. I was perplexed, because I wasn't sure if this meant he would die or be healed. So I sent him off to defend his seat in the town council, which someone else thought they could take.

Right as the meeting was getting started, the timer ran out and the icon disappeared. He was cured!

And then died right right in the middle of the crowd. Because he was unable to defend his position in the town council (Who can blame him?), he lost it, and the council promptly asked his corpse to leave the proceedings.

Jerks.

Satchel charge bowling, my new favorite tactic in HL1 and its spinoffs. Run, click, run back, click again, boom! Works great going around doors, and has a mystical ability to crack up anyone who's watching.

Arise my thread... from the depths of the archives.

I just had a F-UA-R (rolls out the tongue better) moment a few nights ago while playing Unreal Tournament (classic UT99/GOTY).

As usual, I'm playing against my custom set of bots that are a bit hardcore, even on normal difficulty, and I battle on Godlike usually. Meaning, these guys will kill you without a second glance. You see them, you're already dead. So yeah; expect to stay in the lower-half rankings reliably.

Anyway, the map was DM-Hyperblast (fighting on a ship inside and out in the middle of hyperspace, for the uninitiated; UT2k4 has a fancier and larger version of the same level, more plausibly built, though the same basic structure, given the updated engine and detailing.). While dying as usual, and lasting for roughly 15 seconds at a time per-respawn, I was finally on the verge of getting a killing spree (5 kills in a row without dying), on the way to the shock rifle on top of the aft of the ship, out of nowhere, one of the bots appeared out of the blue, and stole the gun right out from underneath my feet, and shot me off the ship. Total blindside; no sign of them during my flight to it from the middle of the ship, and no respawn/teleport noise either, and I was just a foot off the ground before I was seeing a blue figure appear out of nowhere, and stole my weapon before I got to it, and a blue stream later, I'm eating vacuum. It was a brief 5-second death, but it caught me off guard, and I was laughing for the next few moments before I started dying too quickly, and had to focus again.

EDIT:
I've been meaning to revive this thread for awhile already. Finally got a good reason.
