<div class="IPBDescription">don't bash Alpha share your funny moments ;-)</div>Hi,

as there are so many threads bickering about the Alpha, i thought it would be a good idea to start a thread where to <!--coloro:#ffff00--><span style="color:#ffff00"><!--/coloro-->post your funniest situational comic moments in the Alpha so far<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->. 

By this I mean, no references to "OMFG LAG, hitbox, server connects etc."   .... <!--coloro:#ffff00--><span style="color:#ffff00"><!--/coloro-->just plain, stand alone, fun moments<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->....

Ok, as I started the thread I will go first.

As a marine i witnessed a fellow comrade manning the command chair. While the chair was closing, a skulk jumped into the cc and started gnawing at the guy. They were in close combat while the cc finished closing and finally the skulk emerged victorious.

Well, as it turned out, the skulk was trapped in the cc and we (the marines) could neither open the cc nor call a vote to eject the skulk-comm.  A great laugh and conversation broke out. We tried to shoot the skulk in the cc, as its outline was visible when it was trying frantically to get out. But this did not work. Finally the skulk quitted but that did not allow the marines to open the cc again. Well, eventually we asked the alien-players to come to base and finish us off, what they did in the spirit of brotherly love :-)

That's all folks 

Have Fun

    I started what I thought was a LAN server, and almost immediately all of these strangers started joining. I was like, "o, why hello there!". Then my father who uses his laptop on the network downstairs started whining about the internet slowing down, so I had to close my inadvertent listen server after 10 minutes.

    I spore gassed about 5 rines that were armory humping. That was just such a classic NS experience for me. Fly into the rine base and see them all gathered around the new big armory. I lay down some spore spam ... lot's of dead TSA after a few seconds. Really brought me into NS like I used to play so much.


    edit: Also when I went rine comm, I accidentally sent a MAC out of the map into the 3D skybox. I'm just clicking around. I click to-go on the MAC and he goes through the floor on his way to some crazy refinery thing out the window.

    Sounds super fun if one can get into it.

    Super looking forward to it later today:)

    As a skulk I jumped in the com station when I rine was about to close it. Gnawed him to bits and won the game because it wouldn't open back up.

    Gee. We all have the same funny moment.

    I was chasing a gorge earlier today, but I just had to stop shooting because I laughed too hard when I saw the belly slide. The crouch-damage-avoidance-thingy looks hilarious as well :D

    I didn't know voice chat was in the game, so when I started hearing voices I asked in chat, but no one answered so I sorta freaked out for a minute.

    Didn't hit them either though XD.

    You can't damage the CC by biting it from the inside?

    Trying to direct marines around without a minimap or working waypoints was hilarious(ly awful). Losing all my builders to teleporting skulks while trying this was kinda funny, especially since they apparently can defend themselves if the attack feature worked.

    Explaining that I have a sound bug not playing anything at all and, after closing the game, realizing that the system is muted.

    Seeing a marine walking on his gums on the overview while chased by two skulks (he was upside down) when i was trying to figure out the alien techtree.

    So far my funniest Alpha moment didn't directly involve me playing. While I was waiting to play, I saw a video someone else had posted of their "Alpha experience." There was a marine (apparently animation-glitched) sliding around on his side being chased by a bunch of lag-teleporting skulks and a slowly encroaching cloud of lerk gas. It was so absurd that I couldn't help but laugh.

    It would be really awesome if someone made a ns2 version of that with sideways marine.

    The comm gets out of the booth and starts typing before he steps off the platform. I step onto platform and get into the booth. The walls fold up and trap him in. he then replies "OMG im trapped!" I say "extra protection"

    Randomly placing hydra's as a gorge, then going marine to destroy them with the grenadelauncher on my listenserver+cheats on


    I was attacking one, while circle strafing round it up a stairway (shooting bullets at it, nades were gone :P). I jumped safely around the corner with some health left. Then I wanted to try my switchaxe on the alien RT. However, I completely forgot about the 5 hydra's I placed on the floor and walls behind me.

    Never died so fast in a game, I could hear the aliens chuckle even if there were none :D

    Man me and some other guys on ts3 laughed our asses off when I saw gorge walking into my base.. except the gorge was walking 90 degrees sideways. It was especially funny from the CC point of view. I even got a screenshot but some cursed application/bug/whatever cleared my clipboard. :(

    Here's a screenshot where a marine did the same.
