Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Those douchebags at Team Roomba wanted me to tell you that they have a brand new video of their horrendous behavior in Team Fortress 2. If you remember the last video we posted (if Valve didn't want us to do it, why would they put it in the game?), you'll remember how cruel -- and hilarious -- the group's mischief can be.
 
Only moments into this sequel and I'm laughing my arse off. Team Roomba thinks this is more accessible and funny than the first one, but what do you guys think? Don't deny that deep in your callous, black hearts, you revel in the kind of online jackassery that you'd despise if you were the victim.
 
You are not the victim, however, so laugh. Laugh until you are sick.

Wow, lots of uptight "GAMING IS SERIOUS BUSINESS" people in these comments. I agree with Atheist Jew, take the stick out of your ass. You act like these guys are microwaving live kittens or something. I think this is fairly harmless. Annoying, but harmless.

And yeah, the trivia bit was great. Reminded me of that Cash Cab show on Discovery Channel. Unexpected trivia is hilarious.

I think most Ron Paul cultists are griefers in their own way to begin with, so this makes sense.

The train teleport was fucking genius. And the blocking door until someone answers a question? Pure awesome. I will have to try that. I'll just have to think of harder questions.

@mistermingo > TF2 Microwaving Cats Mod would be pretty schwet.

Also, although I find griefing incredibly assholish, I gotta say the trivia thing made me lose it. Especially when he started using the tags.

Creative douschebaggery.

Griefing FTL.

Yeah, it's harmless, but all of you admit you'd be uber pissed if it had happened to you. If something would suck if it happened to you, it's not actually funny. So if you're laughing now, be sure to laugh when it's your team stuck in your spawn.

Personally, I get to deal with assholes that arguably have problems all day. If I get to come home to assholes just being assholes for assholings sake, that's gonna make me mad, too.

But remember, Gaming is about YOU having fun, not everyone else. So if you piss people off, you're doing it right.

You're all pricks.

The trivia was great and actually probably fun for the time that they were doing it. The rest was usual douche-baggery.

Yea so they ruined your 1 match in TF2, what's the big deal? Its not like you can't get in another match for a few days. Get off your high horse and have some fun with it. Laugh at yourself and them, its ok. You'd be surprised how cool you might look if you just shook it off. Someone plays a little joke on you or has some fun at your expense, which option sounds best if you don't have an awesome comeback? Whine and moan like some little school girl or that "leave britney alone" gender confused kid, or be like...nice one man nice one, I'll get you back sometime, and just go about your business.

hehehe this vid is epic :)

for whoever asked : its the pc version. You should know fraps when you see it. Get the 360 version so you cant play custom maps, or create scripts.

for anyone else that wants to emulate this behavior Dtoid has its own tf2 server =D

Right. When you're griefing and someone disconnects, you always say "wow, that guy is really cool. He left." You probably have a big laugh because you ruined someone else's game. The problem with this crap is that it's contageous. Everyone is going to go be wanna-be team roomba now, and then there's even more people being dicks to those who just want to use the game they purchased with their hard-earned money to have a good time.

You're all children.

@Trowble actually i'm not a victim, i own my own servers and play on them exclusively. if i saw anyone blocking a spawn door i would instantly permanently irrevocably ban them. but stupid videos like this just encourage more people to do the same. it's not funny, it's stupid and it shouldn't be encouraged.

I don't know...in times past when I have been seriously griefed by a player in an ingenious way, I have stopped and laughed at it. Now, the flame thrower messing with the sniper was obnoxious and would upset me. But if a guy trapped me in the spawn and wanted me to ask trivia questions, I would be laughing.

Seriously, I have like, 10 servers favorited and if a guy was really griefing me in a non-creative way, it isn't hard to just leave.

Gaming being serious business has nothing to do with my comments.

Whenever someone finds some kind of exploit in a game, they abuse it, then they publish how to use it to others and they begin to abuse it, suddenly the game you play is full idiots glitching and and doing other things.

I payed $60 bucks for Call of Duty 4, I hate it, the single player is plagued by the same flaws every other CoD game had and the multi is garbage, a huge chunk of that is thanks to the horrible community. When I get home, I just wanna play something with my buddies, I can in a small part, but I have to deal with a bunch of clowns yelling and insulting me, that's not what I paid money for.

In Gears I had to deal with an even worse community and people who glitched through walls and did other shit.

But hey, I'm sure that when the idiot sheeple of the TF2 world watch this video by Team Retard, they'll also begin to do this, and every single TF2 player here will just laugh their ass off when it happens to them right?

Cause its funny ^_^

It's the "kicked in the groin" effect. Hilarious when replayed, but painful to experience.

Though normally I'm against griefing, at least the trivia was griefing with a twist that could still make it entertaining for the griefees. The thrill of trying to answer the question quickly enough to get the door open might actually make the game more exciting. And hilarious, to boot.

And you know what? It's a freaking video game. If you're upset about someone ruining your match, play another. Nobody's dead. Not saying I enjoy being griefed, but it's just not worth getting upset over.

Yep without these videos rolling around the net a night in COD or TF2 would be all kittens and rainbows. If that’s the case then we had probably better ban the games all together to stop the violence they cause. This type of crap has been going on in the FPS world since Doom and possible before. It happened to me on many occasions and you just take it in stride and chuckle about it. Personally I would rather put up with this type of asshole then the ones who take this shit too seriously. Because their the type who whine about getting killed by a sniper or a grenades or artillery constantly and never shut up about how if the server admin’s would just remove those items they could maintain there elite I’m better than you status. Granted they do that by the preferred method of spray and pray which isn’t very effective if you’re mauling them at long distances.

BTW, the people who are saying this video will cause griefing are using the same logic associations as all of the anti-gaming assfucks like Jack Thompson use to try to ban games.

I love how whiny some gamers insist on being, I really do.

Fact of the matter is, these guys are going beyond simple grieving. These are some very funny, well thought out practial jokes. Setting up the teleporter right in front of enemy turrets and making people pledge for vote for Ron Paul is fucking funny. I don't care how sensitive some people need to be, it's funny.

You might not find it funny, but don't go throwing some dramatic "never visiting again zomg" hissy fit, please.

Jim with the win right there. It's not like their making videos of repeated TK's or spawn whoring. The teleporter in front of a speeding freight train took quite a bit of thought and was funny as hell.

I was glad I wasn't at work when I saw the trivia part, otherwise I would have been fired from all the laughing.


And to everyone who complains about this, I got some advice. Play your own damn servers, or switch servers. Cause they were doing it to BOTH SIDES for COMEDY. You guys know what comedy is, right? Ever seen the show Punk'd? Or Jackass? Hey guess what? THATS REAL WORLD GREIFING! This is like your buddy or a friend playing a prank on you, IN A DAMN VIDEOGAME. A video game, with multiple rooms to play in, with thousands of other players, and the ability to host your own and boot at your leisure.

Simply put, your "experience" being ruined is your own damn fault for not being able to take a joke normal society has been exposed to for the past 6 years or so. Good job.

Also, I loved how his name was "Olmec". I couldn't stop laughing when I heard that.

"Yeah, it's harmless, but all of you admit you'd be uber pissed if it had happened to you."

Hahaha, no. If someone did any of these pranks, I'd just laugh and let it roll off my back. Especially the trivia bit. Because it is funny and I don't take myself too seriously. I'm mature enough to not cry and whine when someone "isn't playing nice".

"You're all pricks."
"You're all children."

Sod off, you ass.

You know, I'm no fan of people being assholes in games, but these guys make it an art form. As Jim said, these are some well-planned practical jokes, for the most part. Douchey? Yes. But forgivable and amusing. There's a time and place to say, "Hey, stop being an ass!" I don't think this is it. Sometimes you just have to lean back, laugh, and say "That's pretty good."

And if you're going to storm off in a huff because we've offended your delicate sensibilities, then maybe we'd both be better off without each other.

People whining need to get over themselves. Its not like if someone was doing this and you didn't like it you couldn't leave. I know nothing like this has ever happened in a multiplayer game before right? Is this so shocking that you have to whine and complain about it? Man get over it, its not the end of the world. I love it when rtards get all upset over pixels. Is your life so uneventful that this is what you take a big issue with?

Today I found myself against a whole team of Pyros...using axes and taunting us as they went. People complained, but I laughed.

The game was meant to be fun, I think once you get that Dynasty Acheivement you should just enjoy yourself. I personally find these hilarious, and if I was in one of these games I would still be laughing.
