This board rocks because of the laxity. It is good and wholesome because it is unholy and filled with satanspawn.

I was playing GTA IV online two days ago in a Deathmatch style game (for those who want an idea of what it is, think Unreal Tournament, or Quake Arena in GTA)
So there's this guy I was facing, and he was hiding for cover behind a corner of a building, while I was hiding behind a chimney.
Neither one of us wanted to expose himself, because the moment we did, the other one would proceed to blast me/him into oblivion.
That said, I was getting tired of all that waiting, so here's what I do:
*scrolls weapons*
*is delighted to know that has a Rocket Launcher*
*gets out of cover*
*aims to the portion of ground that was closer to the building corner*
...
ZEEKY BOOGY DOOG!
*shoots the rocket*
*watches rocket asplode*
*watches other player fly to the other end of the street*
Seriously, this guy was so concentrated in waiting for me to get out of cover, that he only realised there was a one-and-a-half foot rocket heading towards him at about halfway. When he finally realised that, he panicked like hell, but it was too late...

a focused player would have been focused on the chimney you were behind, hence seeing you pop out with a rocket lawn-chair.
He was just retarded.

Delta and I had some awesome ownage moments yesterday. I'll post them here:
-Some douchebag was chasing Delta on a bike (and Delta didn't even notice, lol). Delta had the brilliant idea of passing right in front of me, just in time for me to notice the guy. I pull out my rocket launcher, and shoot a rocket directly behind Delta's getaway car. The timing was perfect! When the rocket exploded, the guy on the bike died. The most awesome part was realizing that the guy NEVER flew off the bike. Instead, he was still on the bike, engulfed in flames, and STILL riding it.
This one actually happened twice, to me:
- Two guys on one car thought it was a good idea to stop their car and attempt to kill me, when they were still inside the car. Thing is.... they had Uzis or SMGs......
I had an RPG, and blasted then to oblivion before they had a chance to say HOLY ****!!!
Just a quick thing: Delta, somehow, your name disappeared from my PS3 friends list. Yet it's still on my contacts list in GTA4. I didn't change anything, or any option for that matter. Any idea?
EDIT: Actually, disregard the last part, Delta. It was maybe a glitch. When I restarted my PS3, you appeared again

You're right, I didn't notice the bike guy, at all. You gotta love the idiots that park their cars out in the open and try to shoot from it while holding still. Silly sitting-duck noobs. I've taken to stalking on foot, since cars draw too much attention. Oh, btw, I got my headset, finally. I got a Logitech (wired, just so I don't have to worry about charging it) for $32 something after tax. I've yet to try it out. boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=2000369&topic=43306086I'm joining this "clan" or whatever you call it. Hopefully, we'll get a good team of non-noobs going and have plenty of ownage moments. Actually, this topic might become an extension of the GTA IV topics. There is just too much potential ownage to be had in that game.

Delta do you have a link to the headset you bought? I want to take a look at other ones, since wireless bluetooth headsets are PRICEY AS HECK!

www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/playstation_3/&cl=us,en I bought the Vantage USB Headset. The wire doesn't bother me, since it's about 3 times as long as the controller wire. Plus, you don't have to recharge it all the time. I'm really happy with it so far. Too bad now I have to listen to all the nooby kids that were trying to find us on the airport rooftop (ROFL!), and the ones that made the game with nothing but RPGs in it. That was the gayest match to date.

hey, i don't mind an abundance of RPG's, but the ONLY weapon?
Actually, an interesting match involving some stealth would be a Melee only match, methinks.
Anyways, to get this bad boy back on topic:
I'm currently going for 100% in GT4. I'm hovering around 90% right now, and am finishing off the last 7 races of the FGTWC that i need to do (I won twice with 8 races each time, or something like that, been a LONG time).
Anyway, doing the Laguna 85 lapper, decided to get a nice big lead and pit, and then let B spec Bastid do my work. (I don't know why, i don't even pay him). So i go to pit, and leave, figuring "it'll pause, and then auto select"
Come back perhaps 2-3 minutes later...and it's still sitting there. My pit crew is standing there like a pack of retarded sheep, and I m down by 2 and a half laps....It's lap 46, for me. 48 for them.
I choose a spec, and am like "hell nah. I am NOT letting this go to waste..time to drop the hammer"
And So i did. in 3 pitstops, I gained back a lap. I was churning out 1:06's consistently, with a few 1:05.8xx's/.9xx's. I was back 1 lap with about 20 laps to go, and was ON. they were running 1:12's or so, and i was still turning out 1:06's. Took the lead with a few laps to go, ended up ahead by around 10 seconds.
Yeah, that was ownage.

It wasn't the fact that there were only RPG's.
It was also the fact that no matter how many rockets would explode in front of you, the only way you'd get damage is: fall damage.
That. Was. Pathetic
Delta: thanks for the link! I'll see what I can find.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the damage thing. I can't stand that.
Also, I was playing with a few buddies from the dirty thirty clan, and one of them had a bluetooth wireless headset. Thing is, it sounded like CRAP, and that was if you heard anything at all other than whispers and static. I'd steer clear of those. On the other hand, the guy who started the clan was using one he's had since SOCOM however many years ago, and he sounded normal.
Anywho...some twat by the name of "slock666" thought he was pretty slick today, how he killed me a once with an RPG and running me down a couple other times right after I spawned. That wasn't cool, so I proceeded to utterly own him (headshots galore) roughly 20 times (if not more) in a row before I got tired and posted this before sleep. (Only reason the comp is still on is cuz virus scan was running and I forgot about it) So yeah, first it was just me, then one, then another of my friends joined in, since none of us like these damn noobs much. Did I mention that I never lost to this guy again after the first initial nooby kills? There's that too.
Oh, and apparently the guy was scared shitless of me, because before my buddies joined the game, he had taken to swimming around and jacking boats hoping I'd get bored and go elsewhere. That was funny as f*ck. Also, he was the host, and picked auto aim. I think my skill went down thanks to playing like that again. I'm used to manual aim now.
Nem, you need to get in on this shit. Also, GOOD MORNING, I'm going to bed!
P.S. Nice comeback, Pred. Never send a Bob to do a man's job!

Quick question from a old guy to all you young super-133t'rs. How is the word "pwnd" supposed to be pronounced? My son told me it isn't intended to be pronounced at all...just used in text. I've also heard that it should be pronounced like the original use of the word, "owned", since it is just based on a typo. But the urban dictionary says it's pronounced "powned", and the "o" sound can be substituted with an "i" or "e" sound??//?/ I'm confused...which is a bit of a constant state for me, but anyway...

I just say owned or "pawned". But I'm not really sure, either. I don't think it really matters. I usually say it out loud as a way of making fun of those that use it completely seriously, or for the wrong reasons.

I was trying to buy that headset that Delta recomended, but there's one problem: IT'S SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE!!!
Still... I've managed to order it, so tomorrow or something like that, they'll call me to tell when does the headset arrives. I hope it comes quick...

I always pronounce it as rhyming with "owned." And if your son says it's only used in text, he needs to get some more gamer friends.

mhm. I say "owned" normally, but "PWNED!" when i'm gaming. even then, it's only when i know i've truly pwned.
I liked that comeback too Delta. Since i can no longer B spec any long races (something wrong with my disc, or something screwed in my options, because it now refuses to just take my pit options and use em without me confirming it), I've got a fair bit of A spec'ing left.
More pwnage today. this time, in the must unlikely of places, Math class, on the most unlikely of topics, MATH.
We're doing similar polygons, and currently doing the Scale factor shit. (IE: perimeter scale= Scale factor, Area=scale factor^2, Volume ratio=Scale factor^3)
So I'm sitting there doing my work, and this broad beside me says "Whats 7 cubed?" "what?" "Number 12, what's 7 cubed?" "not on number 12" "what is it though?" And without even thinking, I'm like "343". It seems everyone was listening, because 3/4's of the class looked at me with looks of "wtf?"
So a few minutes later, she asks what 9 cubed is, I'm like "700 something...one sec..." *thinks* "729"
Even the math teacher looked at me like "WTF?!". Twas a rare moment of genius.
