[QUOTE="cignus_pfaccari, post: 5362891, member: 14557"] One of my friends manages to get himself into some bizarre situations in games. Like, getting himself entered into the FBI criminal database as a notorious terrorist, "Carloss the Jackal." That's not a typo; this was initially meant to be a cover for a run that involved blowing up someone's car. However, this was amusing both because we were playing goverment agents at the time, and because thereafter, every car he drove DIED: * - The Ford Americar used to let my troll Secret Service agent jump onto the back of a tractor trailer? Engine blew out from the strain. * - The rental car we drove to a firefight in a skyscraper in Memphis? Drove back with part of a helicopter gunship's rotor sticking out of the windshield. * - The tricked-out Jaguar we inherited from our boss after being cut loose and burned by the government? Ate an ATGM while we were being hunted down. * - The armored delivery van we "borrowed" to drive to Kansas City and hit a place there? Car bomb! Fortunately, we'd noticed the trend and the car bomb didn't actually damage the (armored) van, though it did sprain my friend's wrist. * - A hot dog stand, while not really a vehicle, served as the centerpiece of a duel he had with a Triad hitman. Both were using dual handheld grenade launchers. But one instance really stands out, and actually didn't involve vehicles at all (I, um, insisted that he not fly the Starship). This was in a Star Wars game doing the Tempest Feud campaign, after we'd gotten our asses kicked by the HUTT IN BATTLE ARMOR (that still irritates me), we ran into this street gang deep in Nal Hutta or whatever Hutt hellhole we were on. Still really ticked off that we got beaten, and tired of long-drawn out fights, he won initiative, and tossed a thermal detonator. Gang vaporizes, as they were like maybe 3rd level. The table erupts in laughter, and we don't stop for like 10 minutes, just at the sheer casual brutality in the action. Brad [/QUOTE]
