I'm bored, so I figured I'd start sharing something to laugh at. 
Video games are fun, and funny sometimes as well. Sometimes it's intentional, other times it's not, but if it makes you laugh, who cares? This thread is all about sharing, be it something from Game Fails or some random encounter you've had in a game. Share it, and spread the laughter a bit.
Here's my opener: I play Planetside 2 a lot, and really enjoy doing so...but my server has something that can only be described as an anomaly. Something unexpected, unnatural...and utterly brilliant in terms of trolling levels. This anomaly has a name, though we just refer to it as "The Squirrel" (so it doesn't get banned again).
Now, what's brilliant about that, you ask? It's simple...for those who don't know, PS2 is a MMO FPS title. You pit hundreds of people against hundreds of others in massive battles to try and conquer several continents, and have fun doing so; it's not the most complex game. However, it has some neat features, such as in-game VOIP (that sometimes even works), and my favorite, proximity VOIP that fades in/out based on how far you are from other people while they talk. And that is where the Squirrel comes in, for they devised a method of screwing with people that is utterly fantastic.
See, the Squirrel does not engage in combat. They do not hunt for the lives of men and women, hoping to bring glory to their people. No, the Squirrel simply purchases ATVs...and rides around playing Mexican Polka over their proximity radio. He has thousands of deaths, but has never fired a shot in return, and has 0 kills. Playing music is literally all he does.
It's fantastic...some people hate it, but most realize it is one of the funniest things ever. Most of our enemies know his name by now too, and try not to kill him when they can. In return, the Squirrel will ride up next to them...stare at them...then ride off into the sunset. The first time I ever saw this happen, I was nearly in tears laughing...you're never prepared for the moment when the dulcet tones of an accordion and trumpets will fade in from the distance, only to leave you moments later. I only wish I'd thought of it first.
