hehe, I havent even played the game and I found that funny

Ahh I love making teleports that send my teamates to the battlements on 2fort

Instant sniper food

Psaakyrn @ Jan 30th 2008 1:13AM

What, you haven't made teleports to in front of enemy turrets?

Great stuff. I don't like much of Somethingawful, but Photoshop Friday and Video Game Articles are awesome. Those one sentence reviews are better than many fluff packed reviews in magazines and on the web.

Rofl.

I actually did the Jukebox trick once in Gears of war,I played "You could be mine" at an obscene volume in the mic. I wasn't playing I just left the speakers on with the song at 100% and the mic next to the speakers.

It was awesome. When I returned 2 rounds later everyone was so pissed Lol.

Hehe.

I love when the enemy spies disguise as me, especially being a pyro, is just awesome. I also love to freak out Snipers with the spy,

For great justice:

"Get the door, it's the pizza guy!" has got to be the most hilarious.

Poisoned Al @ Jan 30th 2008 5:55AM

and the most relevant. I mean who hasn't been there where you're charging up a few medics and some dip-shit happly stands in front of the gates and alows all sorts of shit in? "Alright, almost th... FUCKING HELL, DON'T LET THEM IN!" *sounds of uber-charged phyro fucking up all your stuff and screams of annoyance*

Poisoned Al @ Jan 30th 2008 6:14AM

So funny becuase it's true. We've all seen the above mentioned. The medic that latches onto one damn heavy and helps nobody else. The engineer that only fixes HIS sentry and ONLY his sentry. The team made mostly of FUCKING SNIPERS! *grrrr* However they missed a few:

"It's Behind You!" Get your head caved in 25 times playing as a sniper, becuase you never turn around, ever.

"Loves Ma Gun!" As engineer , build a sentry and nothing else, becuase teleporters aren't useful or easy points are they?

"General Hospital" Medic rush a crap team for lulz and win. (been there, and it was AWESOME)

LaughingTarget @ Jan 30th 2008 6:38AM

I wouldn't be surprised if Valve actually used some of those. They have that kind of humor.

Beautiful machinima. =') Thanks for sharing.

Korova @ Jan 30th 2008 7:39AM

Yeah. That is a great video. Full win.

Korova @ Jan 30th 2008 7:28AM

I think I pretty much got most of those already. My favorite was an all scout team rush while calling for the medic nonstop.

They did miss a couple:

"I love you, now die." Shoot at each of your teammates in celebration after winning a round.

"Good sport" kill all the surviving members of the opposing team after the winning the round.
