I think I'll starte where I left off. After the proximity mine match that ended in utter defeat for my opponent we decided to try a different more cliche grouping of weapons, mainly: rocket launchers. I am a self proclaimed rocket-whore and no matter the game my rockets seem to develop homing capabilities and instantly find their targets. What is more, in some games I have developed a rocket immunity that will allow me to walk away from a rocket blast of fire unharmed. This started in Goldeneye, where I for some reason could take a direct rocket hit and walk it off or rather walk away from it for the most part unharmed. The flames would be there my character would gasp as the flames licked his body trying to burn it to a crisp, but some how I would walk free to continue the good fight as it were. This is not to suggest that I am some gaming god, I like everyone have my good days and my bad, but for some reason the rockets just don't like to hurt me and when I'm in control of them love to hurt others. So this is where my story begins.

We started a new match even though I had completely dominated my foe in the last battle I still played innocent to the game. The next set of weapons was rockets, the next level was the caverns, or at least I think this is the title I cannot seem to remember but it had caverns in it and several secret passages through caves, and I think there is some water in the level. Anyway, we begin the match and sure enough the first thing I do is duck. If anyone remembers Goldeneye there was no way to really move your legs but you could duck and it looked essentailly like you were gliding around on the floor with one knee. When I encountered my opponent the first time we were both with out rockets. However, in his attempts to get a head shot he made one fatal error, that when ducked I was a harder target while he was not. Essentially, I took him down and claimed my rockets before scurrying off to waite. The duck feature is really under utilized I think and if you pick OddJob you shrink even more. When we met again he fired a rocket at me but again being half the size the rocket missed, while mine hit home. Another thing that my opponent did not know is that fire can go through objects in the game. I did know this though so I used it to my advantage by shutting at the spots underneath him so the fire would go up through the floor. I won that match and we continued to a different level with the same weapons only now I kept firing at random doors so the fire would go through and get him. You have to appreciate the complete lack of real physics in some games.

I'll admite that last moment was not as exciting, but I have another from the days of old school gaming. While playing another game of oldschool Halo, my friends and I decieded to try out capture the flag. This time the match was 2-on-2 but being that my teammate did not know the difference between his gun and his ass it might as well have been a 2-on-1 match. So, leaving my teammate to snipe from our base, or rather hide in the rocks behind the base and shoot at random flying birds in a game where there were no birds I adventured forth to claim my flag. As many people know ducking will remove you from radar, as well standing still. I knew I had chance at winning so I decided to just bascially screw with the other team as much as possible. the first thing i did was sneak into their base and wait. I waited for about 10min, when an opponent jumped down into the base. I should first mention that the stage was Blood Gultch for anyone who knows what I'm talking about. When my opponent jumped down I immediately shot him with a shotgun which produced a loud yelp from the other room in surprise. I then just waited again. I did not grab the flag I just waited. When my friend had respawned I grabbed the flag, but just waited in the base without moving. Again my friend ventured into the whole trying to find the flag. Instead he found me hiding and so I dismatched of his body with another yelp. Eventually, my tactics were found out and by that time I had to result to wandering into the middle of the field where I would be quickly shot and forced to respawn back at my base where my teammate would be waiting profusing to be protecting the base even though we had already lost about 2 flags. I resulted to try one more strategy. I snuck into the side rocks and waited for my opponent, but I did come alone I brought a ghost that dropped randomly into the entrance of this cave and waited. I had no real plan I just decided to wait. I know my opponent used this route and sure enough in time the person approached. From the other room I heard a mumbling about this random ghost and then sure enough my opponent jumps over and then bam! one blast from the shotgun and he is fraged. The end result was another scream. After the match was through even though my team had been defeated horribly my friends referred to me as a ninja. I think that title alone made the match worth it.

I wish I had newer moments but I'm afraid there are not to many. As games develop they lose their glitchyness and I think some of their sporadic fun. For instance I once had a slapp fight in another match of Goldeneye when some how my opponent slapped me off the level. This is an impossible feat, but some how it happened. I got bitch slapped so hard I fell to my death. Now in Halo 3, a game I love, when this happens its expected. I will say bad games have a tendency of producing these results. For instance in Red Steele, a game for the Wii, I some how got stuck in a wodden crate. I could shoot out and thus kill my opponent, but my opponent could not shoot in. Unfortunately, I also could not leave my new prision cell, this box, so I had to blow myself up with gernades.

Also, I must ask, please people share your own war stories we are in videogame territory here and we cannot share our stories here then where can we?
