If Your Pc Ate You

<div class="IPBDescription">what fate would you choose?</div> So after watching Tron on DVD for the first time I got to thinking.

What if one day your PC just got fed up with all those improper shut downs, you feeding it viruses all the time etc and one day decided to zap you into a PC game. And the only way for you to get out would be to survive a game for X amout of time.

So the PC sets you up with a pistol a few spare magazines and your choice of a shot gun or some type of Submachine gun . (aka little ammo) and 2 health packs worth of emergincy med.

The evil PC then gives you a choice. Now remember to you it would be like Virtual reality so imagine you are in a really bad dream or something. Example, if a skulk bit you, you would probably lose a leg in real life, and then die of blood loss. Like living in the matrix.

here are the choices.

1. Survive 6 hours in Black Mesas Lambda Core.
2. Survive 4 hours locked in the Spencer Estate from RE.
3. Survive 3 hours stuck in Ns_Hera Station.
4. Survive 4 hours somewhere in the System Shock 2 Labs area.
5. Survive 3 Hours in the Weyland Yutani Corporation research station (with the ALIENS escaped and running loose of couse)

Hmm I think I would take the Black Mesa research station. (Hope i can figure out how to use the long jump in real life though.) Getting face hugged, ripped apart by a monkey, eaten by an Onos, or slowly turned into a zombie doesnt appeal to me. But then again, niether does getting head crabbed, or sucked up by one of those barnacle things either <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

btw, Gordon doesnt have a "Crowbar" he has a wreaking bar. A crow bar is several feet long and is used for prying open larget crates and stuff.

Either way, has any one ever tried to swing a wreaking bar? That thing weighs a ton. I tried doing the "gordon fast swing" and nearly sprained my wrist and impailed my leg at the same time. <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->


So what would you people choose?

    4 hours in the System Shock 2 labs.

    It would be so easy, maby you never noticed those bio-reconstruction modules, that prevent you from truly dieing. Failing that, you could hide in the primary elevator.

    Even then knowing cheat codes will help a lot.

    2.

    Because I'm not a muppet, and if upon finding a A)<b>wooden</b> door whilst holding my B)<b>combat shotgun</b>, I won't mutter "Damn, I need the Knights key" and wander off. I'll apply item B) to item A), and carry on.

    Survive 6 hours in Black Mesas Lambda Core


    As i know the way around, and how to long jump, and where the guns are. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I'd take 4. Its the easiest out of the lot.
  • DreadDread Join Date: 2002-07-24 Member: 993Members
    I'd pick either 1 or 2. 1 because it's not as scary as the others(<!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->) or then 2 because zombies are dumb. I haven't played RE but I guess they are just average zombies and I would survive just by sitting in a corner with a shotgun or running by.

    option 6.) Survive 15 minutes of CS on de_dust against 6 members of the [1x3x3x7] clan
  • ShloomShloom Join Date: 2002-07-25 Member: 997Members
    I think I would try and survive in systemshock 2 labs or black mesa because I think those would be the easyest.

    I'd take option 7:

    Any mission from Theif.
  • JefeJefe Join Date: 2003-04-21 Member: 15734Members, Constellation
    I would choose 2, because zombies are stupid, and I won't have to worry about anything other than zombies because I'll just stay there hiding in my corner where the zombie teenie boppers cannot reach me. (Think the RE movie.)

    Hmm...of the originally given options, I'd probably go with HL's lambda core, simply because I've beaten the game twice. If I'd never "seen" any of these but knew what they were each about, I'd probably go with System Shock 2.

    If I could make my own choice, I'd do option 8: <a href='http://www.spatch.net/games/play.cgi?game=putpbad' target='_blank'>Pick Up The Phone Booth and Die</a> for 200 years or until I die or beat it, whichever comes first. Go ahead. Try it.

    I'd got with black mesa, or system shock 2 (but i haven't played anything but the demo yet), because if you became low on health or ammo you could go hide.

    Of course, if I had a squad of marines against all those aliens, I would own them. You could throw in a predator and I'd waste him too. At least, the AvP 1 guys...never played the second one.

    2 - Because Zombies are the most unintelligent enemies found in the whole bunch, at least i think so...
  • RionRion Join Date: 2002-11-08 Member: 7752Members
    Probably Hera.. just cause I know the place like the back of my hand.. but I'd probably spend my time trying to be Neo rather than surviving.

    lol I beat that game in one turn, type push phone booth, you win.

    Geeze! Put up some spoiler warnings on that first! Some people haven't played it yet!

    That game was so much fun when I first found it a year ago or so... took me quite a while to figure out the solution, and in the meantime, I discovered numerous ways to die.

    As for the list given above? Black Mesa's Lamba Core. Because you only said survive 6 hours... not that you had to DO anything. So sit down in a hallway, and relax, secure in the knowledge that all the aliens are either in rooms, or teleport in when you walk to specific locations. Sit tight, and you're all safe. True, 6 hours could get boring, but hey... no worse than a car ride. And I have a longer attention span than that.

    No way I'd get into NS. The enemies hunt you down there, and you die a LOT.

    I haven't played RE or SS or the others, so I don't know about those. Maybe the "sit in a corner" method would work for some of thsoe as well.

    In SS, the AI cant hit switches to open some doors, lifts etc. You just hide in the promary elevator or somewhere the AI cant reach. For entertainment you can toy with your psi powers, listen logs/e-mails, laugh at the AI running into the door.

    System Shock 2

    Because A.) It doesn't scare me B.) I use the pistol anyway (Weee Gun ho!)

    Oh and you have a Cyber-Rig

    That rules!

    I'd pick option 1.

    Six hours is a long time but I know what to do and I use the pistol almost 24/7 in that game (except for parts like breaking boxes or killing the last boss). Of course, I'd pray that I meet Freeman and make myself invincible to anything he trys to do to me and I'd use telekinetic powers to make him talk. Then I'd kill anything that has a gun, steal it and his ammo and stuff so that would be my primary source of ammo. Anything thats laying around or anything from a dead human with a gun.

    Or you could do option 10: Survive 3 hours in MGS2 on European Extreme mode while fighting 6 Harriers at the same time and the Kasatka is 1 hit away from going down. You could either survive or kill them.

    I would choose whichever had a kitchen so I could make myself a sandwich while I camp.

    Um yeah, probably Number One.

    2-Never played RE, I would get pwned by the zombies
    3-OH HELL NO. I'm a decent alien player, so I know what havoc you can wreak on solo marines. Without a Comm, you'd be screwed.
    4-never played, teh Mahnkees, th3y Hurt!
    5-I might do ok on this on, but I'd need my motion tracking, and those guns are LOUD.

    Black Mesa you only have to worry about the larger grunts, with the Bee Guns, that and getting electrocuted before you could find a environ Suit. Otherwise you've got the help of Barneys, scientists, etc.
