DOOMII on God Mode Level 10, You first use noclip to get them all to chase you, then you hid out and kill them all.

UT2K3. If you play an Instant Action game with 16bots and their skill level set to the lowest, you'll be sure to relieve some stress.

I don't know if this qualifies as a game but...

For all of you who occasionally have a really bad day and you just need to take it out on someone, don't take it out on someone you know, take it out on someone you don't know. An example follows:

I was sitting at my desk, when I remembered a phone call I had forgotten to make. I found the number, and dialed it. A man answered saying, "Hello?" I politely said, "This is Bob, could I please speak with Robin?"

Suddenly, the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude. I tracked down Robin's correct number, and called her. (I had transposed the last two digits of her phone number).

After hanging up with her, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again. When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled, "You're an *******!" and hung up. I wrote his number down, with the word '*******' next to it, and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him. He'd answer and I'd yell, "You're an *******!" It always cheered me up.

When Caller ID came to our area, I thought my therapeutic '*******' calling would have to stop. So, I called his number and said, "Hi, this is John Smith from the Telephone Company. I'm just calling to see if you're familiar with the caller ID program?"

He yelled, "NO!" and slammed the phone down. I quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're an *******!"

So, one day I was at the store, getting ready to pull into a parking spot. Some guy in a black BMW cut me off, and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that I had been waiting for the spot. The idiot ignored me. I noticed a "For Sale" sign in his car window, so I wrote down his number.

A couple of days later, right after calling the first ******* (I had his number on speed dial), I thought I had better call the BMW *******, too. I dialed and someone said, "Hello?"

I said, "Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?"

"Yes it is."

"Can you tell me where I can see it?"

"Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house and the car's parked right out front."

"What's your name?" I asked.

"My name is Don Hansen," he said.

"When's a good time to catch you, Don?"

"I'm home every evening after five."

"Listen, Don, can I tell you something?"

"Yes?"

"Don, you're an *******!

Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial, too. Now, when I had a problem, I had two ******** to call. But after several months of calling them, it wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be. So, I came up with an idea:

I called ******* #1.

"Hello"

"You're an *******!" (But I didn't hang up.)

"Are you still there?" he asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"Stop calling me," he screamed.

"Make me," I said.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"My name is Don Hansen."

"Yeah, where do you live?"

"*******, I live at 1802 West 34th Street, a yellow house with my black Beemer out front."

He said, "I'm coming over right now, Don. And you had better start saying your prayers."


I said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared, *******."

Then I called ******* # 2:

"Hello?" he said.

"Hello *******," I said.

He yelled, "If I ever find out who you are..."

"You'll what?" I said.

"I'll kick your ***," he exclaimed.

I answered, "Well, *******, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now."

Then, I hung up, and immediately called the police saying that I lived at 1802 West 34th Street, and I was on my way over there to kill my gay lover.

Then, I called Channel 13 news about the gang war going down on West 34th Street.

I quickly got into my car and headed over to 34th St. There, I saw two ******** beating the crap out of each other in front of 6 squad cars, a police helicopter, and news crew.

Now, I feel better

(edited to remove foul language. We do still have young people here you know)

Me too! Gosh, my face hurts from laughing!


And, about the stress relieving game, I always use NFS4: High Stakes to that end. The landscapes are therapeutic for my brain.

Yup. It's in the general discussion. You may need to search for it though since it goes for while without getting any posts.

i think paintball and baseball are very stress relieving... i know it's not the type of game this thread was geared for, though...

think about playing UT live on an open field... that's paintball.

You want to relieve some stress in the real world? Boxing - It takes a lot more mental energy than you think, you wont even be worried about your problems once you get in the ring...Great for your body too.

Cyber World? "You dont know Jack3" - I dont know about you guys, but if Im feeling angry and I go play a game like UT2 or any type of game where I have to be put against someone who can possibly win, and will most likely talk trash if they win...I just go nutts, but if everyone is on the same team is and is just having a good time answering questions...Im all for it

Console world? Intelligent Qube - Its an oldy for PS1 but I always enjoyed it, and it takes your mind off everything else.

IMHLO of course

Great story but I doubt the person you know did it, I got it in an email from a friend the other day.
