Simon:
Tell me about it. I tried that mission for the second time, got smooshed in quite spectacular style and had to go back and get a huge run-up in order to clear the rubble :(

Switchblade:
heh... what's fun is when you get your timing very slightly wrong, and the chimney just catches the very nose of the boat. you go flying through the air, cartwheel about twenty times and land on the other side. five thousand stunt points!

Inlander:
Here's a few just off the top of my head.  I'll try and think of some more:

Privateer: after hours and hours of flying that shitty little Tarsus and saving up all your money, finally taking the Centurion out for a first spin (and let's face it, did anyone play that game and NOT buy the Centurion?).

Doom & Doom 2: any time when you've got a room full of enemies, and a plasma gun full of ammo.

G.T.A. 3: discovering the Unique Stunt just near the airport, where you end up doing a barrel-roll across a huge gorge and, if you get it right, landing on your wheels on the other side.

Gran Turismo 3: when I pulled off the classic "fake on the outside, then cut back and overtake on the inside" manouevre on my brother.  Only time I ever beat him.

--- Quote from: Inlander ---Also while you're playing San Andreas, try car-surfing: jump on top of a car, or preferably onto the tray in the back of a ute, and either stamp on the roof of the car or fire your gun randomly into the traffic - the driver of the car will panic and you'll be taken on a crazy high-speed ride through the city!  Ahh, stupid fun.

I do that with cop cars all the time, but I just jump on them while they're moving.

Violence is wrong.

Ah, one of my favorite war stories from my favorite game: World War II Online. Kind of like Planetside, but with a realistic WWII setting in 1940, during the Blitzkrieg.

It was a special event, the German attack on British-held Calais and Boulougne, a town near Calais. The German CinC (Commander in Chief) decided to focus almost all of our forces on Calais. We only had 4 Panzers and a couple of infantry to take Boulgne with. I was one of the Panzers. Three  of us had Panzer IIIEs, one of us had a Panzer 38(t). So, our infantry spot some anti-tank guns on this ridge, along with some infantry. In a column formation, our 4 Panzers drive around a wood to get to the north side of the anti-tank guns and infantry. I'm the second tank, following my CO.

All of a sudden...BAM! Our CO's tank explodes from a flank shot. I swerve my Panzer III to face the anti-tank gun, hiding to our right. The Anti-tank gun got off one more shot, killing my driver, commander, and knocking out my engine, but an AP shell and a spraying of MG fire from my tank killed the anti-tank gun. Although I had lost my engine, my tank kept rolling forward, unable to stop due to my dead driver. I rolled through a small forest, and finally my track was blown of by an enemy sapper on the other side, just north of Boulgne, next to the road heading in. I shot up the sapper and a sub-machine-gunner who threw smoke to cover him.

This is when the fun started. I didn't know where my allies were. I was all alone, with a forest right behind me, letting British sappers sneak up behind me and plant satchel charges on me. However, I was very lucky-the anti-tank gun or the sapper hit my fuel tank, but it didn't explode, it only drained of fuel, so my Panzer was MUCH harder to blow up. This game really models armored combat to the tiniest detail.

All I have left are my turret gunner and hull gunner. I'm constantly checking my rear with the turret, and I mowed down a few infantry who kept trying to stick satchels to the back of my tank. The hull gunner takes on any infantry to the front of me. I got scared a few times when the British threw smoke grenades to blind me, but I sprayed the woods behind me and fired some HE shells.

There I sat, for the entire two hours of the event. Whenever I talked to my guys over Teamspeak, I would say, "Guys, I'm getting kind of bored. The Limeys are leaving me alone now...I think I'll despawn and get another tank, what do you thin-OOOH! BRITISH GUY! *MG chatters* HAHA! SUCK IT, TOMMIES!"
They just did not leave me alone. Once a British truck, towing an anti-tank gun, drove right by me. I swear I put 3 AP shells and a crapload of MG rounds into it, but he just didn't stop!

At the very end, we heard that the attack at Calais had stalled due to one British sub-machine-gunner hiding out in a bunker. A lucky satchel charge (they must have planted at least 6 on me) finally killed my turret gunner, but my hull gunner was still alive. Eventually the event was over, and I accompanied my CinC in the honor squad to the firing range. Initially it was only the CinC and a few of the Game Devs who were to be shot, but a  firefight broke out. I got a kill before I was gunned down, and someone got 4 kills from a grenade.

I had 28 kills, which was a massive amount. The second closest person had 13kills. http://events.wwiionline.com/scripts/events/afteraction.jsp?eid=32&fid=41&cid=67]Here's a link that shows my massive kill count. I'm Deathsai BTW.

When I looked back, I was amazed to find out that I had killed the British CinC, as well! The British barely held onto Calais at the last moment, so we lost, but our small contribution at Boulgne was vital to the German progress in Calais. With only 6-8 men (a few guys would come and go at times), we tied down an entire British company of around 40 men. If we hadn't been so successful at Boulgne, although we never took it, those 40 men would have gone to Calais and caused major trouble up there. One of the game developers, monitoring the event, was amazed. He said:
"I can't believe that Deathsai is still alive. His track fell off and his engine cooked."
Also:
"The Axis attack in Boulgne has grounded down to one disabled tank, surrounded by a horde of enemy infantry."
My squad told me I was a demi-God. I'm just glad the British never had enough sense to tow an anti-tank gun behind me.
