Fractalsponge Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 64. Bumping your keyboard with your mouse and screwing up your maneuvering 65. Your wife plugs her phone into your computer to charge it, leading to a popup that obscures your view completely, leading to crash 66. Being lured out into the exhaustion zone by a target intent on suicide 67.

QuinMantha Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 #69 - Running out of engine power right before you hit that potentially life-saving powerup in TDM. #70 - Hitting Boost instead of Engine Ability in an attempt to LOS a missile lock...and then running out of engine power when the LOS doesn't work. #71 - Running out of laser power in a head-to-head pass.

SithAceI Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Scrab reloading means dying on purpose to reload your secondaries. Not Scrab killing you. Huh I never do that. I just use my burst lasers when I run out of missles. Then if or when I get killed is when I reload. Huh never really thought to die on purpose to reload...

Verain Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Scrab doesn't die on purpose to reload (AFAIK), it's just a joke because someone said that on the forums. #83- You press the wrong strafe button near a satellite and the game engine decides you hit it going very slowly and take minimal hull damage, but it ALSO decides that you hit it going very slowly and take minimal hull damage 1000 times in a second and explode. #84- What was that, an antennae? #85- Can't spell Power Dive without D-I-E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what being a damn hero gets you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
