Murphy's Law

[Khazoth]

Apply Murphy's Law to video games.

"Anything that can go wrong will go wrong."


1): The power up you've been waiting for will not activate until all the mobs are dead.

2): The hostages you are rescuing are suicidal and will jump into every mob before you and get between you and the mob.

3): Otis will call while your fighting a horde of zombies, and then scold you for being rude and hanging up on him.... Even though he can see you through the security cameras he sees the other survivors through.

This law holds very true for anyone who wants to set up a lan party.....

But im always a sucker for "they will apear when you need to reload"... now out of habbit as soon as the place looks clear I hit re-load... which gets me in more trouble than running out of bullets LOL

"GRENADE!"...Bounce...tink tink tink. "Mother..." *BOOM*

 

[Sevre]

Well standing from this position I have a 98% chance to kill Hitler with my fire arrow.

 

[megapenguinx]

"GRENADE!"...Bounce...tink tink tink. "Mother..." *BOOM*

Happens way too much to me.
Most of the time it's another team mate that just happens to move that exact second in front of me.

The player will crouch just as you shoot your sniper.

That grenade will just happen to detonate at that time.

(for Mario Kart)
The person in 2nd will get a Blue Shell and own you. You will come last.

not murphies law, but a close relation, this is one i found of the Team fortress website forums a while ago a as spy

"Around each and every corner there may or may not be an enemy Pyro. We cannot determine which corners do and do not hide Pyros without sending a conscious observer to investigate. However, in defiance of conventional logic, the Pyro is simultaneously present and and absent from all corners, and it is only after choosing a path at half health while reloading that the universe will retroactively manifest the Pyro in our face." ~ Schrödinger's Pyro (as postulated by Voyager I)

 

[PureChaos]

i'm down to my last fraction of health but there's the save point. as longer as nothing jumps out at me...

 

[Frybird]

Extra annoying, since it is my own fault:

"I'm almost dead, but so is the boss, i guess i can risk one more attack without using a heal....F***K!"

When you are just about to shoot the guy in the head with a sniper and the last bleeding stealth type sneaks up behind you and stabs you. Or when you have the perfect shot and the airstrike/helicopter kills them.

 

[KeiraZodiac]

I think the whole of Mario Kart is murphy's law - that game is an unforgiving ***** a lot of the time,

my favourite is hitting the quicksave too late, so I always load in a world where I have 10% health and they're shooting at me!

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

I'm almost at the safe house. Thank God there's no special infected!

 

[Vlane]

There is going to be a guy behind me when I uncloak. xxx killed Vlane with a Rocketlauncher.

 

[Ophiuchus]

"Hey, I'm gonna play some Team Fortress 2, that'll be fun."

Needs no further specifics, it starts going wrong at the very moment I load the game up.

 

[coda di lup]

I suppose that would be saving just a second before a sniper owns you. and that was the only saved game you ever had.
after an hour where you tried everything possible to avoid death, you accept that the only way is to start all over again....

 

[MrTrivia]

Gears of War:
Just when you think it's safe to chainsaw a Locust drone, he picks up a Gnasher and blasts you to bits.
Mercenaries 2:
If you don't shoot the HVT, one of his own men will.
On missions where collateral damage is unacceptable, civilians will walk right into your line of fire.
Street Fighter IV:
Whenever you desperately need to use your Ultra Combo, it misses and wastes your whole gauge.

 

[Squid1361]

Left for Dead:
2 feet from the safehouse...
Everyone else is inside...
Smoker...
Pulls me through a witch...

 

[Uncompetative]

Waiting interminably for instant death does not a game make... I hate TF2.

 

[Lukeydoodly]

Talking about being backstabbed to a friend then I get facestabbed on TF2.

Rage.

If you have an evil nemesis to ultimately defeat, then his fortress of doom will be the last place in the game that you are permitted to visit.
