The game within a game...

[Baby Tea]

I know there is another thread about in-game minigames (puzzles, etc)...this is not about that.

This thread about the games you create yourself within a game.

Example:
In Saint's Row (First one), a friend of mine and I would get one of your gang-banger friends to follow you, push him into traffic, and see how far you could get him to fly by cars hitting him.

We called it 'Toss-A-Homey', and we seriously played for hours.

Another Example:
In Oblivion, I would try to see how far (And fast) the 'Adoring Fan' would roll down mountains if I used the paralyze spell.

So what about you? Has anyone come up with a game within a game that they care to share?

leapfrog:SAINTS 2 me and my friend jumped infront of cars to see who could die first

In Oblivion, see how long it takes a lich to roll down the highest ascendable mountain. It's rather funny watching it ragdoll its way down.

In Left 4 Dead, lock yourself inside the nearest closet and see how long you can survive. My personal record is 8 Waves.

In Fallout 3, see how many limbs you can blow off of enemies by sticking grenades in their pants. Colin Moriarty lost both his legs at the knees, and half an arm.

In Dead Space, play soccer with the decapitated head of a victim.

Also in Fallout 3, try shooting a grenade in mid-air- Without VATS.

Blood Gulch on Halo 1: Getting every vehicle in the map on top of one base. Took me and my brother an hour.

Oblivion: See how high I can get into the air with a paintbrush stairway.

 

[Fenring]

Gears 1 or 2, play torso soccer.

Perfect dark, Slayer tag. Slayers only, large openish map, use the gide vison thing and play tag. That and N-Bombs with 1 hit ko in grid.

In any MMO, See how much free crap you can get by telling people you're a 19 year old girl and flirting with them.
(Before I get flamed, I would never actually do that.)

HL2 Deathmatch-
It's a game called Deathcatch, I'm sure many of you have played it, it's when you pick up an explosive barrel and shoot it at a fellow player, who has to catch it and throw it back. If you miss, you're dead.

A more extreme version can be played with live grenades.

In World of Warcraft I am constantly trying to find the most ostentatious gear to wear around and look ridiculous. Bonus points if someone actually comments on it, IE "You look like an idiot!" because it is my dress sense that gets me by in life every day.

Both of these are hilarious. Mostly because they involve the ignorance/annoying of other people. I love it.

There are some good ones in here! I'm getting some ideas!

Halo: Combat Evolved - Bumper Hogs: Get some Warthogs in the Blood Gulch and ram them into each other, in an attempt to knock the other player out of his Warthog before he does the same to you.

- Vehicle Stunts: Get some Dukes of Hazzard shit going, blow up vehicles to see how far they'll fly, or drive off a cliff with a passenger firing his Flamethrower to make sweet trails of fire on your way down. There are some sweet videos on the internet of people doing stuff like this.

My friends and I did the exact same thing! No shooting, only Warthog kills. We had a lot of fun with that one.

Saints Row 2

Customize your gang with Ninja Outfits and start fights with random people in your territory.
Stand back and laugh as they are charged by a group of ninjas all armed with baseball bats.

 

[Hookman]

Mirrors Edge-See how far you can go through a level(or race)while moving backwards.
Left 4 Dead-Shoot a car and see how long you last.
Also,a variant on the above game that was invented by my asshole of a friend-Wait until you reach the safehouse(make sure the rest of team is far behind you)then shoot a car and close the safehouse door. Extra points if one of the teammates is actually a real person instead of AI(He swiftly got a 360 controller to the head).
EDIT
I got another one
Crackdown-See how many cars you can stack up. I managed to block a whole main road with buses and cars.
Crackdown again-Try and make a huge ramp with buses,cars,barrels,any old shit thats lying around and then make it as big as possible then jump off it with one of the agency vehicles.

 

[[Gavo]]

No More Heroes - Buy the most outrageous clothes possible. And that one Galaga-esque mini-game.

Fallout 3 - Seeing how long you can survive while trying to "discover" the entrance to Vault 87.

TIP: Get about 50 Rad-away, 50 Rad-X, Radiation Suit, and a very high medicine skill.

Halo 3 Mongoose Hunting- You get the 4 people playing on either Sandtrap or Vahalla, 3 people get mongooses and one person gets a banshee. For the mongooses it's about dodging and hijacking the banshee for your own. The Banshee kills everyone but only use banshee bombs.

 

[Incompl te]

Halo 3: Vahalla: Mongoose Tag:

4 People on mongooses, one is 'it' and has to catch another mongoose to not be 'it'

literally played for 2 hours

 

[jdog345]

Mario Kart battle in Halo 3 with mongooses and unlimited Rocket launcher ammo.

in GTA 3, I would play "Car Combat." I would select a civilian car, and hunt it to death. It was quite a challenge keeping up as they sped away and trying to shoot them at the same time. It turns out, after playing this "game" for a while, I got really good at the rest of the game because I could "combat" other cars that were part of the main quest. I remember having a hard time with that mission that you kill the mob boss guy, and after some car combat, it was laughibly easy

 

[BallPtPenTheif]

the GTAIV swing glitch... i've spent hours popping cars off of that thing just to see how far i could fly
