Contest #3 - "Funniest Game Screenshots" - Sponsored by Razer

[Rob Williams]

It's Techgage's Birthday, so it's only fitting to give away some free stuff! Throughout the month we will be unveiling new contests, so stay tuned to our official contest page (http://techgage.com/article/techgage_2_year_birthday_contest).

We've had a gaming theme going for our contests so far, so there is no sense of stopping now! Contest number 3 is called "Funniest Game Screenshots".

We have all experienced being struck funny by something in a game that led to non-stop laughter. We are looking for screenshots of whatever it was that made you LOL for real. Of course, everyone should be able to understand what's funny about the picture... not just yourself.

There are numerous examples of what could be considered funny:

Corpses floating in the air as opposed to lying on the ground where they should be
Groups of dancing naked people in your favorite MMO
Using in-game money to draw or spell out something on the ground
et cetera...

Please submit pictures with good taste. We don't need to see a hot big-breasted Elven chick in minimal lingerie get it on with an Orc. It's just not that funny.

Here is my personal example.

At the time, this screenshot made me laugh out loud, simply because the only thing sticking out of the water were the horns on my helmet. Of course, you have funnier screenshots than this, so get submitting!

Prize

Razer is no stranger when it comes to serious gaming. When they first released their Diamondback mouse a few years ago, things just seemed to take off. Since that time, they have become well known for offering high-quality gaming products designed by gamers.

[KusoSamurai]

Finally a contest I have a chance at!

The one on the left is a dead guy hanging from a sign in Battlefield: Special Forces. The one on the right is a glitch in Battlefield 2142 where you see Two Titans (there is usually only 1)

[PUTALE]

The first screenshot is From Sony Online Entertainment's PlanetSide.

I saw all those Galaxies (transport planes) stacked onto each other when I respawned in the Sanctuary (main base). (haha, take a look also at the minimap) I alt+tab-ed to desktop, activated Fraps to start filming, but when I came back into the game, I wasn't on the ground any more. There were also some other players staring up at the error-phenomenon.

Really made me and my sister laugh.

The screenshot is from when I just fell of the highest Galaxy I was standing on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The second screenshot is from Raven's Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast.

I just didn't know how to continue on that level, and I thought that one was supposed to jump onto a tree and then onto this crashed dropship. Well, I was wrong :D.

[DarkKai]

Here are two of my favorite. Enjoy ^- ^!

[madstork91]

The follwing picture is one from Rappelz... this man KS me then called me a KSer and then preceeded to kill me. He was ~ 10 levels below me but had a second account that had him at MAX buffs... meaning he was ~ 3 levels higher in stats.

I entitled it BS.

I had more funny pics but rob here had to make this contest this after I deleted alot of my photos... :(

[werty316]

This guy from F.E.A.R. was horny for moi.

[TS.Chi]

These are from Joint Operations.
In the first, I stab my opponent with my invisible spear.
In the second, I was invited to an all-male orgy, but I just like to watch...

[BlindMonk]

Haha! That second one is so delightfully absurd, with all of 'em kinda' tired-looking and just enjoying each other's company, and all the weaponry involved... and I dunno', looks as if even the gimp showed up...

[Tech-Daddy]

Well.... I cannot locate my Dungeon Siege screenshots.... man, and I Had some good stuff there...

So, I'll blow the dust off of my Motorcross Madness screenshots!

I was playing, and had just performed a spectacular stunt... and ate it pretty hard, and when I got back on my bike, the textures swapped!

The terrain took on the texture color and design of one of the rider uniform skins... specifically, the one I was wearing!!

[GangstaTurk]

This is my 2nd Entry: OwNeD Indeed hehe :D

[RedRozeWolF]

1:This one was from a while ago, I was playing ESPN 2k5 and laughed so hard when this happened, I watched the reply a few times.

Nice catch!!! :D


2:From CoD2, killed a guy and he landed begging for his life!!

Nooooooooo!

[moon111]

Flying a helicopter, I ended up hooking the tail rotor on a bridge, flipped over backwards and wound up inside the bridge. I took the picture and was going to use it for a banner, but it's too big under their forum rules.

[gibletzor]

1st: couldn't help but interrupt these zombies in Ravenholm in HL2

2nd: i couldn't tell if this was a rat threesome, or if they were checking each other for fleas and such... from Oblivion

[peti1212]

These pictures are takein in Oblivion. Hope you guys like it!

1. That last fight at the Arena was a desaster. The doctor said that the legs had to be amputated. :p :D

2. I don't know how this deer got into the hotel, maybe the deer wanted to sleep, or maybe it was that horrible smell that was comming from that womans butt. :D

[CoolAlex]

1)watch it!I've got a gun bigger than you and i'm looking thru it!
2)this guy has been frequenting too much the neck enlargement program and now even when he's dead he cannot fit the hole!

[=CDU=Above]

Here's one from Desert Combat on Chili Day at the mess hall.

[TangoDelta]

Hi again!

It's the final time I posted something. Only one entry for now... I still have to experiment a little to find good candidates for the second entry :D

Pic #1 - Nova Acrobat: Whoa! I didn't know acrobatics are a part of their daily routine around Nova Prospekt...

Added: OK, I hope I didn't mess anything up, and that the entry is valid :)

[Kaboom]

okey... 2 pics:

1. Lord Of The Flame
(from Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb)

2. he wanted to cut his hair, but he hit his head instead
(from Enemy Territory Fortress)

[BlindMonk]

1. Your sub has torpedoes, a deck gun, and AA mounts ... so of course you ignore all those in favor of ramming a hapless fisherman... sterling display of modern tactics there, captain :rolleyes:

2. When Core 2 was yet a twinkle in Intel's eye I made this ridiculous joke city, but the humor resides in what my adviser had to say about the situation and certain keywords. (Darksynergy, you may remember that thread)

[truman]

#1 here is my super garry's mod funny pic as you can see Counter Strike CT is a lil horny with the Doctor of HL2

#2 Lol ive just taken this one Its michael Jack Wedding With A Male Orc ;P (Bigger View (http://screenshot.xfire.com/screenshot/natural/7c9c6b7941f0f576e664606c3b9b1dfbdb915144.png))

[guthrie634]

1) A friend and I did a little research to figure out some simple translations between Orcish and Common in World of Warcraft. Below is the fruit of our labors...

2) While running Gnomeregan on my Mage, my Frost Nova spell glitched out and became HUGE!

[wildstrike]

[Warpx9]

1. (Far Cry) swimming pig, too funny.:)
2. (Far Cry) this scene looked like a funny face, almost like a clown since that big rock in the middle looked like his big red nose.

[JacKz5o]

Heres my Oblivion arrow SS and my CS:S teamNade hehe:

I don't think an explanation is needed for either one :)

[moon111]

I guess if your girlfriend is stuck in the wall after a shotgun blast, you might as well go all out with a rotting cow head in the men's room. :p

[munter]
