Holy shit, that worked!

[Blackadder51]

So, Escapist Crew i ask thee, when has something that you planned be it in a game or in real life actual worked when no one would think it have.

Inspiration for this thread came from just 5 minutes ago actually when hunger, boredom, painkillers and lack of real food made me think to combine brown rice, pasta sauce and small bacon bits into one dish and to my shock it worked!

It isn't the most amazing story however it fits. (Im a shit cook)

 

[delh3043]

thats just the painkillers talking

 

[Zyst]

Totally xD I once mixed Tequilla, Redbull and Tylenol.

NEVER in my life have I felt so shitfaced, EVER.

Are you sure it's not a combination of the above factors preventing you from tasting anything at all?

In garry's mod, I made a cannon that shot... well anything that fit inside the barrel, across the map.

My friend bet I couldn't shoot a corpse into a tiny container from one side of 2fort to the other. bearing in mind that my cannon was basically pointed slightly in the opposite direction and was just tons of explosive barrels stuffed in a chute, with a corpse on top. It wasn't exactly a fine piece of machinery.

I shot, and it landed in the barrel. I deeply regret not having fraps on. But I did actually say exactly the title "Holy shit, that worked!".

No idea =D

However I do love pasta in general so this could be why it doesn't taste as bad as it should.

Well it's fairly well documented that hunger can lead to you plain ignoring things you don't like in favour of the fact that your body needs that food. Hunger is the best sauce known to man.

That would explain why the left over burned to a crisp bacon still tastes fuckin delicious.

Hmm...
Well... there was this one time in TF2, I was playing as the Spy, and after a few weeks of L4D, I started suggesting to my team that we all be spies, but that we don't use any of the spies weapons (other than the knives) and just well... zerg rush the other team.

It was CTF, so it shouldn't have worked... but... holy shit, it did.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Oblivion. My first Illusionist class.

I thought to myself...how can I make it so that enemy scaling doesn't matter to me? But without using mods or anything else.

A-HA!

I'm make the scaled enemies fight each other.

I little mind control, a little stealth, and a some Conjuration later...I go dungeons without EVER doing any direct damage. All of it is enemy in-fighting and summoned creatures. Viable up to any level, providing you don't wear armor. Since armor decreases spell effectiveness. And you need 100% spell effectiveness to be able to have the level 25 mind altering spells work on enemies over 25.

Also, you don't need to glitch/exploit anything "cheap" in the game.

BONUS: It's crazy fun!

Well in Ghost Recon there was a map in 2 player where you were on a dock. And I think you had to put demo charges on the shipment of military hardware. Anyway at the end of the mission we were about a meter away from the extraction point when I turned and saw in the distance a group of six soldiers continue their patrol behind some cargo crates. So I pull out my M203 and have a crack, we are at extraction so no harm done. 100 meters or so away with some crates about 20 meters high at the end of that. Grenade goes up, grenade comes down, 6 kills to me.

Also in crackdown 2 we killed an enemy at street level from the top of a skyscraper by throwing a metal pipe at him.

ooooo I almost forgot IRL we made nachos with cheddar shapes, cheese and sweet chilli sauce... it actually worked (it must be said we had been drinking a little though).

Painkillers say injury and injuries need protein to fix. Meat is your best friend right now and you body would tell you that that horse looks delicious.

I was playing Mount and Blade Warband, and I had 20 men in my group. Another army came up to me and they had 70+. I freaked out, and started talking to the general. In the end, he converted to my king and I got to go free xD

 

[tomtom94]

Combining orange squash and coke.

SUGARRRRRRRRRRRrr

 

[Rylingo]

Cider and Peach Snapps. They actually taste awesome together.

Half the shit the main characters do in any FPS story line.

I believe you just basicly made Bacon and tomato risotto (works well if you melt some grated cheese into it too!)

As for holy shit moments...

WAR online was probably the best example of this. I was guarding a Flag in the RvR area by myself, and the zone was close to locking, then from my hidden vantage point I spotted exactly what I didn't want to see, a chaos warband coming along to cap the flag and delay the region lock by at least 30 minutes... so I call for help and its on the way, now, I stand no chance at all against all of these guys, so I sit and watch, and wait...

They quickly take down the npc guards next to the flag and begin capping the flag, but just before they're about to finish, I drop down Rain of Fire, a channeled spell that can be cast from a reasonable distance (I was one of those riding the OP AoE Brightwizard train at the time). Now, this obviously sparked quite a bit of anger from those stood next to the flag, it was never going to kill them, but while it was being cast, they couldn't cap the flag.

So they charge up the cliff of my vantage point, only for me to greet them with a knockback, straight off the cliff back to by the flag. One of them has begun to recap it, so I drop another rain of fire down below to delay them. At this stage I see some reinforcements coming over the hills in the distance. I just need to keep them busy another minute, tops. So as they charge up again, me with my cc on cooldown, slide down the cliff into the middle of them all, and start spamming ever DoT i had, I get cut down quickly, but manage to get off a wonderfully annoying spell that does very minor damage, but spreads to those nearby, and then to others nearby them, so effectively bouncing around for a short time.

So as I lie there watching the battle I giggle to myself, seeing several chaos players all trying to cap the flag, only to get interupted as single figure damage figures float off them. Hurray! it worked!

Sadly, we now had to do it all over again and cap the next zone... WAR, how I both miss you and hate you.

Playing TF2 once and managed to get all the way through enemy lines as a spy (not easy on 16v16 Goldrush). Had the cloak & dagger so sat outside their base invisible for serveral minutes trying to figure out what the hell to do. In the end I just thought fuck it. No plan I create will ever work as well as I would like it to so I'll just start running and stabbing.

11 straight back-stabs later I come waltzing through the tunnel the cart goes down to be greeted with my team just looking at me. I guess they saw the kill-list at the top of the screen just spam my name and wondered what the hell was happening. Of course, that's when I try and flick a cigarette nonchalantly and get caught in the face by a demoman grenade. But hell, for a minute I lived as few might dream.

 

[The Journey]

Most of my best wtf moments happened in games and are lost to fading memory.

The only one that comes readily to mind is a game of CSS years and years ago now.

We were CT's and we were getting pretty badly mauled round after round. We were losing something like 6 - 3 in a 10 round match.

So we all spawn on our last round and I type out: "Ok last round, lets just charge them straight down the middle and fuck them up."

To my surprise everyone did exactly as I said and we did indeed charge down the middle route and indeed we did fuck them all up royally. Probably about 80% of their team died in the first 30 seconds.

We may have lost, but we went out in a blaze of good-feeling glory that's for sure. So the moral here is, never give up until you're deader than Elvis!

Lettuce and Ketchup sandwiches. I had no idea how awesome they'd be.
