FC3: Funny moments

[fragger]

 :-D :-X

Art's car yard - spare parts, going cheap!

[Art Blade]

hehehe, "turning any of your cars into spare car parts for free!"  :-()

[mandru]

A busy roadway near the waters edge?  Try pushing one of the rubber boats out where it cant be avoided and prepare to giggle.  :-D

The first Amanaki patrol to hit it will typically gain some serious air time.  :-X

[Art Blade]

  THAT is fun-tastic, :-X +1  matey! I'll definitely add that to my repertoire  :-()

[mandru]

Thanks for the pat on the back Art.  It doesn't w@&k all the time but when it does.  :o   Maybe it's because of the weight in the back lifting the front bumper (they feel top heavy when driving them) but the trucks with the .50 cal gun mount seem to fly best.  :-()

On the down side I went last night to the Lonely Shore Way outpost (N.E. South Island) typically an Anamaki traffic hot spot and set up a rubber boat on the roadway and waited for a half hour and not a single vehicle came through.  ???

[Art Blade]

best thing is to check there actually is traffic to be trifled with rather than waiting for something that doesn't exist (during the current session). :-D

[PZ]

Beginning to remind me of the Datsun dummy antics in FC2 

[Art Blade]

oh yes, there truly is fun to be had with those reckless motorists encountered in Rook island. And a few explosives. :-D

[mandru]

There's something about the strip of road that's right in front of Cradle Gas outpost that makes it an amusing spot for traffic watching.  Head on impacts and mobs of Amanaki warriors dismounted trying to figure out what to do about it are unusually common.  I like to pull a vehicle up in the East outpost entrance driveway near the roadside but far enough back to not get caught up in the action.  By standing on the roof of my parked vehicle it keeps me safely out of reach of the area's roving packs of wild dogs while watching the show.

Once when I was there I saw a .50 cal mounted truck hit head on with a group of locals in one of the small sedans.  The truck went right up and over the top of the sedan knocking it off track and directly into a clump of warriors standing around who had previously climbed out of their rides because of their own front end mash up.  Resulting casualties among the warriors set off a general blood letting vendetta against the poor locals which included not just the female driver but her three male passengers as well.

When they'd tracked and gunned down the four fleeing and screaming locals the proud warriors sauntered back to their stalled trucks to once again resume smoking and contemplating what they should do next as if it were just another lovely day on Rook Island.

[Art Blade]

which it was.  :-D Nice story, mate  :) I've come across several of those collateral damage situations.. best if a wild animal gets involved, too, just for flavour.  :-D

[mandru]

"You fight without honor!  I will show you how a true warrior slaughters innocent natives!"

[Art Blade]

lol - that reminds me.

Shortly after liberating an outpost your friends, the distinguished and honourable Rakyat warriors, will show up and settle down like blowflies on a fresh turd, uttering "who's da man? Me!" and equally silly lines given the fact that they did nothing but arrive right after the fight. Which makes me a bit angry. However, Usually you'll find goodies such as extra and free C4, mines, ammo and the likes lying around immediately after taking out an outpost (err.. taking out an outpost, does that make it an inpost like a double negative such as "it ain't no one" makes that a "someone?"  ???? OK, forget it. :-D ) and not to let a good thing go to waste, I plant my old C4 in just the exact amount of fresh C4 lying around to end up even and blow stuff up so my bluebottle friends get a good buzz out of it. I then run into my safehouse and listen to the complete chaos outside. I'd hear things catch alight, stuff blow up, a few "where'd he go?" along with some random "Aaaaargh!" and arriving reinforcements that crash their cars outside.. pretty hilarious.  :-()

[Dweller_Benthos]

I know what you mean, Art, about the guys who rush up just after you've done all the dirty w@&k and start talking smack like they are the bad asses that took the outpost. You can bet they go back to the bar at night and brag about killing all these pirates.

I've seen something like mandru, where a warrior patrol truck was in front of me, came upon a little sedan and neither gave in to the game of chicken and they drove into each other. I thought I was going to see some good fireworks, but the truck just used the sedan as a ramp and flew into the air, jumping over the other car, landing back on the road. Both cars continued on their way like nothing had happened. I was too slow to even get a screenshot, wish I had video of that one.

[Art Blade]

me too :-D

[Binnatics]

lol - that reminds me.

...the distinguished and honourable Rakyat warriors...Which makes me a bit angry....

I noticed that before :-()

But it's true, it's annoying, it's all me :-D

I've come across something else pretty funny. Thought it was was a seagull catching fish, but guess what: it was a bloody vulture acting like a seagull, lol

[smg id=5799]

[Art Blade]

erm.. all I see is water -- no vultures nor seagulls?  ????

[Hacko]

It is a little hard to see...I can see a shadow of something under the water, but it's not real clear what it is.  :)

[Binnatics]

Well, it is indeed hard to see. It's a vulture. I was on a water scooter, just stepping off to dive for a loot chest. I saw in the edge of my eye a bird or something dive vertically into the water, exactly the way seagulls tend to do when they try to catch fish. I was half hoping that 'it' would come up again, but it stayed down. When I checked, it was a huge vulture, just beneath the surface, The water wasn't very deep there. I took the picture because it sounds all pretty unbelievable. I mean, why would a vulture do such thing? There wasn't even a corpse nearby. Wonder if you have spotted such weird behaviour too ???? ;)

[Hacko]

Haven't seen anything like that yet...will have to keep my eyes open for it.  ;D

[Art Blade]

cool story :)

[PZ]

That's a hallmark of open world  :-X

[fragger]

I'm envious Binn! You have been afforded the honour of catching a glimpse of the elusive and rarely-seen Water Buzzard :-X

[Binnatics]

I might reconsider a career change and join the fowlers :)

[Art Blade]

I'm currently back on one career that is dedicated to the Swartzmod just so I may enjoy the wingsuit again (as opposed to the career with Ziggy's mod) and have just reset all outposts so there will be loads of enemies all over those islands.

I ran up a mountain and casually hopped down a cliff whipping out my wingsuit and started to zip down. The speed was considerable and I came by a road and saw a Jeep without mounted gun coming at me. I thought it to be funny to whiz past them right over their heads, which I did, and was grinning like a madman when I heard them go, "Jason Brody?!" -- and then I noticed the lamp pole I was heading to in a very straight line.. THUD!

I think you can still find tufts of my hair and a few of my front teeth sticking out of the top of that pole where I hit it and hear the echo of the laughter of those retarded Jeep mercs still ringing out from the mountains.

***

Again, wingsuit and downhill, passing mercs on a road, grinning at them, when I hear gunfire and come to a sudden stop in mid-air. Everything starts to go black while I plummet right down in front of them, already dead when I hit the ground. It was close to a radio tower so I got resurrected right where I started, tried it three times, got shot down three times. Then I used a fast travel station.

***

Wingsuit, downhill to coastline, water landing. Cool. Shark, waiting there, not so cool. Loading screen.

:-[
In hindsight, it was funny. :-D

[Binnatics]

 

You daredevil :-X :)
