its always a blast to have funny names on multiplayer shooters "u killed yo own mama" 😀
That would be amazingly funny if we thought up some rediculus names.
Like "Yo mama", doesnt sound much at the moment, but when it appears on someone elses screen, "Yo mama was just fragged"........

I was playing Postal 2 & I walk into a convenience store & see what looks like a 24 pack of Budweiser. :beer:

As I slowly walk up to it i see what they wrote on the 24 pack, it was Buttgeiser . hahaha I laughed my a$$ off on that one. 😀
 
The funniest gam by far I have played is Giants citizen Kabuto. Specifically the bit when the wife of one of the little 'things' is getting beaten up by the guards and he turns and says 'what? she was asking for it'
 
I'm always a fan of a few of the one-liners from Blood 2:

"Hmm, 'point away from face and fire'. Sounds easy enough."

"What we have here is a failure to coagulate."


As for little moments in gaming I've got a few. Number one there was a night at a LAN party where someone fired up BF1942 with all the damage disabled, so we wound up seeing who could launch who higher with dynamite. Nothing beats watching two jeeps run up opposite sides of a hill and crash into each other mid-air as a guy jumps just above the hoods of both cars and detonates the 6 packs of dynamite under him.

Then there's when I was playing Shifter (a Tribes mod) with my friend Richard, who was in the same room as me. We spent almost 15 minutes building up base defense ("I've set two laser turrets in the hall" "K, I've put a few shock floors over the flag" etc.) and Richard had just gone off to set the Portable Generator somewhere hidden. He sets it, kills himself and respawns, but I'm setting defense at the time so I'm looking in the invo screen. I scroll down to Area Effect items and I see that we still have an extra Portgen, even though each team has one. I say "you just set the portgen?" and he replies "yeah, just did", so I look around a little, noticing an utter lack of either Laser Turrets in the hallway or Shock Floors over the flag. Finally it hits me: "Umm... I'm in the wrong base." Turns out I'd spent 15 minutes building defense on a different team. Needless to say it made things interesting when I changed teams and tore my own defense down, but those are the breaks I guess.

What's always good for a laugh in Jedi Knight 2 is jumping over a group of Stormtroopers or other unsuspecting goons and then using level 3 Force Pull. Nothing makes me giggle as much as when I watch them fly upwards and then start screaming as they fall to the ground and die. Oh yes, if you cheat and get Level 4 Mind Trick it's similarly funny to take control of some of those not-quite Jedi that plague the game, especially if when you decide to go back to controlling yourself you say "die for your Emperor" in an evil voice and jump them off the edge of something tall.
 
i was dealing with some moron in bf1942 who kept plane camping and shooting planes with his bazooka if he couldn't get to them in time. so he finally got his plane and just started circling the runway, flying low to the ground so he could kill teammates. he got me 2 times, then i got a jeep and bailed out as crashed it into him while he was trying to kill more people. i then did the same thing with the jeep every time that guy tried to take off. needless to say, he was a little pissed.
 
I had a mildly similar problem in Red Faction MP with a guy who kept grabbing the Fusion Rocket Launcher, which if you didn't know kills you if you're within about 100m of the blast. I wound up half-babysitting the place where it respawned; at the end of the round I was ahead by 20 frags, where before I'd been behind by about 5 and at least 90% of those frags were just from me killing him as he was going after the FR. He didn't stop going after it either, but hey, I got 20 frags off of it so what did I care? 😛
 
In Jedi Knight 2 LAN play its fun to force grab people and drop them into pits. The first time someone did that we all busted out laughing cuz theres nothing you can do about it, just try to avoid the guy.
 
Ahh yes, more good times. On one occasion I was demoing Undying to my friends who were watching and wanted to see the last bit of the game. I get to the second to last boss, the sister, and she does her whole transformation bit and all that jazz. I get control again and start fighting her, hopping up, flying towards her and slashing with the Scythe. The next thing I know she screams, her head comes off and the cinematics start up again! Apparantly killing her isn't a matter of damage so much as finding the right place to slash at. Anyway, my friends both went "awwwwwww" as I'd told them how intense this battle was supposed to be, and then my game crashed halfway through the intro cinematics for the final battle. I'm guessing since I killed her in under 5 seconds there were some spawn things set to happen some time into the game and the setting change just blew it's little mind.
 
No particular moment in mind, but i laughed more while playing NOLF than any other game. The dialogue in that game is hilarious.
 
Last night playing RTCW:ET, I was on the axis side. We had the allied team stalled at the bridge, thanks to my skilled field ops, we had several MG'ers keeping them down. We made a push to the other side of the bridge, where we used the tank as a staging point to launch raids on their first building. We eventually took that over, and moved to their last building. At this point, the allied forces had NO place to go when they spawned. They'd respawn and face at least 2-3 panzefausts heading their way, with some artillary for good measure. It became an exercise in who could frag the entire allied team at once.

 
It was 3AM playing in a clan match on Tribes 1, which still kicks A$$. Anyway, I was in the middle of a pack of people as a last attempt with 2 minutes left to cap a flag and win the game making us ranked like #2 or #1 at teamwarfare.com or .org, whatever it is. We went in our standard formatin with 2 guys in the front, one on left, one on right, and same for the back with me in the middle as the main capper. We went up and down the hills and then the guy in the left on the front was shot down from a sniper. I took the flag and we headed off now in a triangular formation surrounding me. As we were flying in the air (In Tribes you can fly with a jetpack) I was positioning myself in the air to cap the flag ontop of ours and then OMFG! My mom and/or dad woke up, so what did I do? I took my headest off, put it on the desk, turned off the speakers which gave the output to my headset, and then hid under the desk holding the forward key down. Oh yeah, I turned the monitor off as well. I did all that within a matter of seconds! I waited till my parents left after peeking through the door to see if I was asleep (I had pillows stuffed under the blanket so from far away you can't tell). They left, I waited a minute, actually counter to either 70 or 80 slowly, got out and turned the monitor on..... and WE WON!!!!!! I was so happy and it was so funny because I hid under the desk with an arm reaching to the keyboard.

That is my favorite thing in a game and the funniest because it was hard to hold my laughter under the desk...
 
In Deus Ex in The Lucky Money Club in Hong Cong, there was a girl who asked you to buy her admission to the club, and once inside, drinks. Of course, being the super agent that I am, I obliged. Then, after buying her lots of liquid persuasion, she refused to dance with me. So, of course, what's a guy to do, spending a dozen or so credits on the chick and not getting anything in return? Obviously, I pull out my pistol and open fire. Bet the next girl to get a drink from JC will think twice when he asks her to dance.

People hover across the ceiling in CS (probably O/C issues)
Aircraft carriers flying accross the sky in 1942
sticks of dynamite walking (literraly) by themselves in 1942
the good ole knifing days in my prime in CS
the time i found the image of a guy drinking windex in a hidden room in CS
one day in class when i was playing redneck rampage, i did not realize taht my speakers were up all the way when one of the characters in the game yelled "Holy S(-)!T" and of course EVERYONE in the class and probably some people in the hall heard it.

I did that in an army ops match once and got vote kicked cause they thought I was cheating....:disgust:

No One Lives Forever and NOLF2 have tons of funny stuff. If you shoot someone withthe crossbow and they are next to a wall, they will get stuck to it and you can then recover the arrow and they drop to the ground in a bloody mess. NOLF also has some of the bloodiest effects I have ever seen in a game. Point blank shot to the head with a .357 mag is just downright chilling.
