Unfortunately, my story happened on vent and screenshots could not be taken. Apologies for the long read.

Spoiler: show
My story takes place in World of Warcraft, with my two friends, one of which is always stoned out of his mind. My one friend who is always stoned is named Raverfaber, and when we do 2vs2 together we always screw around. We sing in vent, talk about stupid random stuff and do voice overs in amazingly accurate voices to what our opponents are thinking at the time. When we tried to do this in 3vs3, our third partner, named Noth would always get really mad. Every time Noth would use his push to talk on vent we could hear his 80 year old grandma yelling and screaming at him in a hilarious accent. Raverfaber and I, not letting this go to waste confronted our friend Noth about his grandma, and things escalated from "Why is she so mad all the time?" to "Dude, is your grandma sexy? Does she have pigtails?". Noth of course, didn't find this funny, however we found it pretty freaking hilarious. We found it so funny, that when Raverfaber got a new hunter pet he named it "Nothsgrandma" and he'd always talk to it before the arena game started. The next time we decided to do 3vs3, I was curious as to why he was living with his grandma, so I asked. Noth told us that when he was younger, he had very religious parents and when it was time for him to go on his mission, he refused so his parents kicked him out. As soon as Raverfaber heard the words "mission" he starts to crack up on vent; he says "What do you mean? Like... Mission Impossible? Are you James Bond?" and then he starts singing the mission impossible song in vent, both of us laughing hysterically and Noth facepalming IRL.


Thanks for reading! :lol:

Not sure if this will be the funniest, but to this day it sticks in our memory and we get a chuckle about it...

Spoiler: show
We were doing a raid in WoW (40-man BWL during the old days). I was the main tank and my off tank typically played in his arm chair while his cat sat on the backing. So we're in Vent fighting and suddenly my OT yells in Vent "Guys, I have to go AFK my cat just barfed down my shirt!"

Needless to say it's the most original AFK message I've yet to hear...

well now... let me paint you a little picture ;)

Spoiler: show
It was a dark and dreary morning in Azeroth... the wind howling along with the creaking of ancient trees as tall as the heavens, were now familiar sounds. This was not our first venture into Duskwood... and we knew the weather and trees were the least of our worries.

Bobby wasn't nervous about todays mission. This was not the first, and it would most certainly not be the last; however, there was something odd about today... visually shaking off the feeling he took his first step toward the forest. Today was not a day to let superstition get the best of him.

"Well... Let's be off." he said without looking back.. His companions would be there, just like they always were. Just like they always will be.

"Huzzah!..." Aldria exclaimed as he pounced passed Bobby's side, running headstrong into the darkness of the forest. Of course, he would go running into danger blindfolded if he had the oportunity. Nothing less would be expected of Aldria. He was a druid. One of the best... and never one to back down, even if he bit off considerably more than he could chew.

With a sigh, Bobby turns halfway back, glancing at Athren... Who only answer was a grin. Aldria was part of the excitement as Athren saw it, and he would always be there to help aldria get out of whatever mess he got himself into. Athren was a rogue, and could be counted on to be wherever the fun was at... Although, his kind of fun sometimes caused all the trouble in the first place.

All that was left to do, was to quicken their pace and catch up with Aldria. Which turned out to be for the better... Where they were going wasn't too far off... and the faster they got there, the better.

Bobby could see the trees thinning. There was a small clearing up ahead at the base of the hills where rock jutted out of the ground like horns. As bobby stepped out of the darkness of the forest, he had to squint from light. As his vision adjusted, a cave came into view. However, this cave didn't seem natural... it seemed excavated, as an abandoned mine might be after ages of rotting in a forest forgotten.

The tale was that this cave had been overrun by bandits long past, and the ghosts of dead still haunted its depths. Ghosts, however, aren't as scary as you might think. To bobby, this was just another obstacle in his path to greatness... and so the three ventured within, without so much as a look back... In fact, as bobby remembers it Aldria even propsed a race through the clearing to see who could get to the cave first... Athren won... Aldria was quite dissapointed.

There were battles to be faught of course, however, This cave wasn't all that bad at all. taking on 3 or 4 of these ghosts at a time, had easily made for a quick pace through the cave. Aldrias ability to transform into a bear made things all the easier with his tough skin. He could take the hits while Bobby Healed him, and Athren did what he does best... Killing.

Things got so boring in fact that Athren proposed a duel. You see Bobby was quite the oponent for a rogue. He was a Priest, and would just heal through any attack.

"C'mon! I can take you! ...I've been training" Athren says with a slight grin.

"Can't you see I'm busy!" Bobby says looking back, with a slight mocking tone.

However, Athren was persistent, and bobby finally conceided to having a duel... Bobby was not worried about loosing time. This would be relatively quick, like it always was... so Aldria kept on pulling the ghosts... and fighting his little heart out.

Accepting the duel... Bobby braces himself as Athren Dissappears into thin air! Bobby however did not falter... He's seen this before, time and time again, and he's ready as Athren reappears behind him, thrusting for a fatal blow. Bobby is agile, he must be in order to dodge Athren's ruthless attack. Hardly noticing how deftly Bobby dodged his attack, Athren follows it with another thrust a bit higher, then another slightly lower, and on and on without stopping... Bobby keeps dancing backwards... to the side, then back again, like a deadly dance.

However quick bobby has become, Athren truely has been training. He's scored several cuts with his striking and the poison from his daggers is slowly starting to seep into bobby's blood, crippling his movements, and numbing his mind.

Bobby's been in this position before, and quickly summons the necessary power to heal himself. it's a fairly quick spell that effectively refreshes him. Athren sees the spell being cast but is unable to reach bobby in time to falter him... His only choice is to vanish once again, and start his attack from another angle... with another strategy.

Without Athrens constant attack, Bobby realizes that a battle is going on behind him... Glancing back he sees Aldria fighting away 7 ghosts crying out for healing and just hardly staying alive. Forgetting his little duel with Athren, He spins and runs toward Aldria, already preparing a spell that will just narrowly save him from what seems to be certain death, when Bobby trips and crashes to the ground... He tries to get up, but he's too dizzy from the fall, and he realizes in shock that Athren has Gouged him!

Apparently Athren doesn't seem to care about aldria's plight and is set on winning this duel! Bobby shakes off his stun and narrowly misses another blow as he closes the distance to Aldria... Who at this point has noticed Athren still trying to win his duel and Bobby still trying to save him... Despite himself he can't help but laugh at the top of his lungs while fighting off a mass of ghosts.

Meanwhile bobby notices Aldria laughing meniacaly while he's casting a spell to heal the druid... The man must have gone insane...

No sooner had the thought of insanity crossed his mind, Athren Jumps past Bobby's side with a loud battle cry and a grin on his face as he Kicks Bobby Square in the Stomache... Loosing, his concentration along with every last bit of air that was in his body, Bobby falls to his knees as he fails to cast his spell...

"Winner!" Athren exclaims as he throws up his hands in victory...

"Aldria...." bobby whispers summoning what little breath he can as he points past athren...

Athren glances back and his face takes on a sullen defeated look as Aldria is overrun, and the remaining mass of ghosts starts to rush toward Bobby and himself...

"Oh......" is all he has to say.

------------------------------

This has all been a true and very dramatized retelling of an adventure in world of warcraft... There was quite a bit more laughing over vent involved, and somehow, we actually made it out alive... no thanks to myself of course ;)

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed.


Keep in mind, I'm not in the running for a key (I've already got one ;) ) ... I just wanted to share.

In Battlefield Heroes (an FPS)

Spoiler: show
I don't play many FPS's because I generally have terrible aim, but Battlefield Heroes felt fun and casual, so I actually enjoyed it for a bit. In any case, I was playing the Royal Army, which at the time seemed to have the worst players because our side seemed to lose to the National Army almost every map.
We were on a map where planes were almost necessary to own the other team. Needless to say, the controls were extremely confusing. My husband even tried flying once couldn't do it even though he used planes all the time in the other battlefields.
We, the Royal Army, were getting our asses handed to us, yet again. I was camping a flag waiting for the tanks and planes to come own me inevitably.
I was looking up at the sky when all of a sudden I see a plane come from the horizon. I thought to myself, "Oh great, this should be fun," while the rest of my team ran about on foot like headless chickens.
As I watched the plane come closer, I could see it wasn't shooting or doing much of anything. Instead, it was kind of strafing back and forth in the sky, as if out of control.
Then, I see the pilot on map chat shouting, "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HOW DO I FLY THIS THIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG?!?!?!?"
I watched as he flew his plane like a drunken man with no arms, as it zipped forward and backwards in sloppy figure 6's before suddenly pulling a kamikaze maneuver and crashed into the unexpecting... mountain. Where his character quickly died and he logged out of the game.

We still lost, probably because my standing behind a crate watching the plane convulse in the sky wasn't helping, but boy was that.. special.

I was playing Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.....

Spoiler: show
For an ingame sort of achievement I had to kill 1000 Wraiths. Now I play a lvl 40 (the highest lvl) order tank. The only place in the game where Wraiths spawn at a good rate is in one of the destruction starting zones. Eventually I managed to find my way into that zone where I began to kill the mobs. As it turns out low level players need to kill those mobs for a quest, so after a bit some low level player were a very angry at the random lvl 40 player in their starting camp 1 shotting all their mobs. Eventually such a huge crowd of the level 1-3 players had gathered I realised that they wanted to actually try and kill me! Eventhough i could 2 shot every single one of them and take 0 damage doing it. Finally I decided it was time to go so i waved goodbye and began the spell to use my teleport scroll. I vanished into the air just as 2 lvl 40 destruction players ride over the hill to deal with me...

Back when WOW first came out the pvp was open world and not instanced. I had made a guild for group pvp//city invasions. I made my guild members put me on auto-follow so no one would get left behind, and because my camera angle was focused behind me at oncoming horde, I didnt realize that we had reached the thousand needles cliff edge and I ran 32 guild members off the cliff to their doom, about a 300 foot fall![/color] Needless to say that was the last time I was in charge of leading the group :oops: but it was totally worth it after hearing 30 grown men scream like girls on vent as they decended to the ground :lol:

Bad rp is bad...
Spoiler: show
So I play WoW on a pvp server and was dared to go mess with the rp players on a new character by a friend. We really just wanted to see how rp is on WoW. I make a new human character, run to stormwind at level 1, and I start acting like a world of warcraft police officer. I found it funny because everyone went along with it and listened to me, I basically put down the rules and they all thought they'd really get banned if they didn't listen. So I'm basically telling people to do stupid things like let me in the passenger seat of your motorcycle mount or I'll have it confiscated. I then make him drive me to wherever I wanted to go, I soon get bored, start messing with other people, everyone in the server reports me, I'm suspended the next day for a week (impersonating a blizzard employee I guess, pshh). I found this funny because rp was exactly what I thought it'd be like, a bunch of party poopers who hated fake rpers :cry:. I get unbanned, and I learned my lesson to never play on an rp server again. If any of you are rpers no offense, just a funny moment of rping I suppose. Looking to quit WoW for Aion, I just want to give it a try before buying it though, looks good. Hope I win one :P

So there I was, a level 29 Warlock in WoW, off soloing and having a good old time with the class when a level 50 Warlock came riding by. He watched me for a few minutes and then we struck up a conversation. He told me that it looked like I was doing well. We went over class strategies and techniques and we were really bonding. I got some really good information from the guy.

Then, as we were wrapping up our conversation, I asked him if he had any further tips. Being the helpful guy that he was, he told me to make sure I kept my pet spells up to date. I looked at him and said "What pet spells?"

It's the first time I ever saw someone type /facepalm as he turned and rode away with me standing there with my arms spread, saying "What?..."

I get a good chuckle out of it these days.
