7 Times You Made Your Own Fun in Games

Sometimes the most fun you can have is throwing away the rulebook and mucking around doing whatever you feel like, such as naming Link inappropriate things in Legend of Zelda games, writing your name in lightsaber in Jedi Knight 2, and locking Lara Croft's butler in the freezer in Tomb Raider 2. Share our fond memories of freestyle fun in games and subscribe for a video like this every Thursday!
Even go-getting grave robbers like Lara Croft aren’t immune to the universal temptation of procrastination, at least not when we are playing her.
This is why at the start of Tomb Raider 2, instead of loading up the actual game, we sack off the trip to the Great Wall of China, which has death traps and spiders, and return to the Croft family mansion, which has a swimming pool and no spiders.
When you’re tooling about in old Croft Manor, you come face to wizened old face with Winston, the faithful Croft family butler, whose chief purpose is to stalk Lara with a tray of teacups like a tinkly old ghost.
And sure, you could just ignore Winston while you speedrun the assault course for the umpteenth time, but it is 70 percent more fun to lure him into the walk-in freezer like that velociraptor in Jurassic Park, and then trap him in there, where he will die of hypothermia, also like that velociraptor in Jurassic Park.

My friends had this trick they used to do while playing Fallout (1) that they called “The Tandi Bomb”. Tandi was an NPC from Shady Sands, the daughter of that settlement’s leader, who would ultimately go on to become the first President of the NCR. (Her Face is on some of the NCR bills in Fallout:New Vegas.) In Fallout (1) however she runs off looking for adventure and eventually needs rescuing. The player is supposed to return Tandi to Shady Sands and get a reward of course, but my friends were never too keen on that part. You see, Tandi was technically a child, and also actually a mission critical NPC. So she is flagged as invulnerable. You could also have her carry things for you. So for the price of her occasionally asking when you were going to take her home, you got an unkillable expansion to your inventory. That’s all well and good but where‘ s the fun in it? Well, since she was functionally immortal, my friends would load her up with explosives, send here into the middle of a town they didn’t like, and detonate everything in Tandi’s inventory. The result would generally be a smoldering crater of death, with Tandi standing pristine in the middle asking, “Are we there yet?”

[@respectableaf9061]

Hahahahahahahah!!!

[@catluvr2]

That's beautiful.

[@TheEsdaniel]

That's the way to go! If I remember correctly I killed many bosses in fo1 and 2 by planting bombs

[@michellee1190]

Warning: This might have been patched out of the game at some point since the 1990's... but let's all cross our fingers it hasn't.

[@imjustsomeguy5048]

I didn't know that Tandi was invulnerable, I thought that you could kill everyone you in the old Fallout games

I remember one time in Skyrim, I went around pick-pocketing the clothing off of every character I came across and stored those clothes in my house. Not only did I leave nudist colonies in my wake, I also had to swim through piles of laundry every time I wanted to store something in a chest. Good times.

[@LongLiveHumour]

I built a waist-deep dragon horde in Oblivion. Everything shiny I found, I looted or stole, then placed it in a room in my castle. So shiny - so jangly.

After we leave the the 2nd town after the 1st burns i usually go to the Dragon shrines to loot the chests and gain some unusable dragon shouts before the first dragon even comes to the lookout tower. Different enemies spawn if you don't trigger the tower and go to some shout areas however some of the strong masked baddies are still active so i usually nab and ru.

[@Dollightful]

My sister and I would play 'hide and seek' in the multiplayer battle mode of Donkey Kong 64. In other words, one of us left the room while the other hid and turned their character to face the wall, obscuring their location. Fun times!

[@theangel1975]

I do that call of duty, all of them

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

D'aww! Always fun to play with siblings. My brothers and I did this with 007 Golden Eye on the N64, a game of hide and seek. However, we were pretty adept at knowing the level layouts so finding one another was easy. I usually chose a room I could swath in mines...until I accidentally stepped on one myself, blowing myself up. Or released a grenade from the grenade launcher and it ricocheted back at me. I actually killed myself more than my siblings did, lol! I think that still counted as a win for them.

[@FuraFaolox]

I did this in Destiny with some friends.

[@jukebox_julia]

My sister and I used to do something similar in Sonic Heroes!

[@brittisaacrossman]

In the original Halo, the scorpion tank with the barrel pointed down acted as a great ramp. We would launch ghosts and warthogs off of them. The player driving the scorpion could them try to shoot the player in the airborne vehicle, like target shooting clay pigeons. Also in that game, PVP matches where we only counted kills if players were run over with vehicles. Ahh, good times! The days of split screen... 😅

[@richneve4945]

A guard in Skyrim said something about my enchanting and how her knife couldn’t cut butter, so I pick pocketed her dagger, went to the grindstone and made it legendary, enchanted it with a crazy powerful lightening enchantment and the reverse pick pocketed her to give it back. Part of me wishes I could see her face the next time she tries to cut something with it...

"Oh Hilde, I see you're taking very good care of your dinner knife." "Would you expect anything different?" *Tries to cut a steak, only to cut the plate and table in half*

[@MegaVikingen]

The guards (and other NPCs) had several comments like these where I wish we could help them out: Guard: "I would be a lot happier with a belly full of mead." Dragonborn: "I have some mead, take this bottle."

[@soren7550]

In Zoo Tycoon, I once made a human zoo. What you needed to do was make a deep pit they couldn't climb out of, put in things they like (such as benches, a bathroom, a food stall), add in a janitor to keep your human exhibit clean, and you're set. I also once made an animal fighting ring where I'd put in different animals that would fight each other. It was here I learned that penguins are vicious animals.

Yeah, but the light gun section they didn't want to do was cocking your light gun shotgun as the game's only reloading function. One of my former high school friends told me back in our high school years he and one of our other friends managed to get through Carnevil on a single quarter a piece by constantly cocking their light-gun shotguns... and constantly shooting everything they could too.

Putting things in people's pockets is even more fun in Skyrim. With the right perk, you can make those poor guards (who are never allowed to get any sleep) collapse on the ground with a homemade concoction fresh from your alchemy table, and see to it that they finally get some well-earned rest. They never say "Thank you,' though, just get upset about it, Maybe that's because they're not supposed to sleep on the job? Or maybe it's because your perfect sleeping brew is technically paralysis poison. It's hard to tell.

[@4onethirtyxd406]

Hoopdy oh, that was the first thing i did. Once or twice my "future girlfriend" or watever, committed suicide. Im unsure why though...

[@AlwaysANemesis]

I think one of my favorite applications of it (light spoilers) is when I was fighting the U-Dragon, which is like this super-powerful kinda-sorta-world-raid-boss sort of dealio where you fight a massive undead dragon - I like to just call it the Uberdragon. My Pawn got KO'd, and I needed a hot minute to revive her, but there was one hitch: the Uberdragon was spitting blue hailfire at me the whole time. So, taking the hint on that, I took my pawn, slung her up over my shoulders, and fuckin' booked it.

[@Formoka]

Saints Row 3 & 4: After unlocking all the personal upgrades in the game, you're practically invulnerable. Take your favorite guns and see how many enemies you can piss off. Play keep uppy with an enemy's ragdolled corpse with the explosive pistols. Dive off buildings without a parachute. Plant as much C4 on a tank as you can and then blow it up while standing on top and laughing. Go streaking through the streets! All at once!

[@AmaranthOriginal]

In Saints Row 2, once we got the C4, my friends and I would spend hours using it to improvise stunt jumps. Thankfully, the only "Friendly Fire" in our games was the ammo shop!

[@jasonjuneau]

I don't why I laughed so much when you put all of your belongings in the elevator.

[@heyitsnyixie_1559]

When I was little I used to play Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in time, hours were spent on Constructo Weapons, and... The Groovatron Glove. Anyone else make Dr. Nafarious dance for the heck of it?

[@gamelifeusa]

Lol making the villan dance in battle was my fav attack. I did every chance i got.

[@DoctorDex]

Any game that lets me move dead or unconscious bodies has tons of potential. Leaving people in compromising positions is always a fun calling card. The amount of tapestries I've woven with basic physics and a lot of patience is staggering.

[@Robman275]

Glad it's not just me! Whenever I'd play Tenchu I'd often store all the bodies in one room. It was actually very useful if you chose a room you knew no one would ever go into, meaning no one would find the bodies, but it'd also look seriously messed up having a pile of corpses in one space.

[@davidsample8378]

Robman275 I literally do this with every game where you can move bodies, just stack them in a pile lol. Although I do feel like Patrick Bateman sometimes 😂

[@Hi_Ping]

Try going onto a massive ark server then messing with the AFK peoples bodies

[@TOMahawk207isawsome]

What? Jedi Knight 2 and you chose writing your own name? Everyone knows the true fun way is to activate the consul commands, type helpmeobi1 and then turn on realisticsabercombat_1. Boom. You have a true lightsaber, now beat the game by just walking into people no swinging required.

[@adamgray1753]

"Watch out! That Jedi has a Poke-y of Doom!".

[@MKelly-gj1tu]

TOMahawk or the destroyer code to get a double bladed saber

[@riadburctoolla3251]

I like setforceall9. The Jedi mind trick puts you in first person mode of the character you use it on

[@Randomninja47]

God I love that game.

[@hozzy2649]

Nice

[@VGLounge]

9:19 Jedi Knight 2; Really? Writing your name? That game is the definition of making your own fun by disabling the AI and spawning armies to blow each other up or spawning Desanns and Lukes everywhere with ATSTs and rebels all over the place, and all you can come up with is writing your name?!

[@Sykaster]

Right?! That game is the pinnacle of opportunities of the developer console! I used to have so much fun with this, enabling realistic lightsaber physics and watching the body parts fly, enabling notarget, spawn a gazillion NPC's and watch the chaos unfold. It was then also possible, with the realistic lightsabers, to have Desann/Luke kill each other in otherwise scripted cutscenes and the cutscene just continues, one without a hand. Amazing stuff.

[@DarthSouron]

I came here to say this good lord people.

[@daxtertalon4]

RRRRRIIIIIGGGHT WHY IS THAT WHAT THEY CAME UP WITH?

[@GMMReviews]

"Devmap pit God Setforceall 9 Npc spawn Luke Npc spawn Desann" I did this a lot more than 'writing my name'.

[@MICKEYrenraw]

... body stacking? Thief, Hitman, Deus Ex, Prey any game where you can pick up a body really, I'm not weird, you're weird! :D

[@MICKEYrenraw]

exactly :) for stealth reasons of course! :D

[@ParanormalNewsToday]

No, I have this incessant need to do this as well. Be neat, people.

[@oakenshadow6763]

Surviving RNG always did this after going out as a werewolf. Mainly so I knew who I had gone back and looted. And for fun.

[@hmdragon1638]

i always did this when i attacked whiterun with the stormcloaks in skyrim just so the clean up crew had an easier time.(it's me i'm the clean up crew for i clean their body of everything.)

[@hairybuttcheeks3923]

i body stacked in dishonored alot :)

[@CaitlinRC]

Am I the only one who got bored in Wii Bowling and immediately tried to hit the people behind you...?

[@domlocke3845]

Nope!

[@abdulabochamh9839]

Caitlin RC me too man me too

[@ytjazz1011]

Caitlin RC I did that just for fun

[@marhawkman303]

I got that bored the last time i tried real bowling... I didn't actually do it, but I thought about it.

[@hundred2949]

Same, but also tried hitting people in the crowd. The amount of people who went hospital in the game because of me is more that i would like admit

[@epikitee2186]

I remember making a hard mode - wait, excuse me, _hero_ mode - save in A Link Between Worlds and calling Link "i will die." Needless to say, it was beautiful.

[@Edward256]

If you counted some of the cheats for Jedi Outcast, just activating the saber realism was fun too. Just walk up to someone with your very sharp glowstick and they just fell to pieces infront of you without you having to swing it. Good Times.

[@kulrigalestout]

I didn't do this personally, but in a video about games targeted toward girls there was a comment left by someone who played Smash Bros. with her sister. Rather, they used the Smash Bros. game to pick their dolls and went on peaceful adventures together exploring the various stages for various pretend scenarios (like "house" or "walking the dog"). Her parents, seeing what was going on, told the girls that the point of the game was to fight each other, not to hop around in magical skyscapes filled with Pokemon balloons, so get to fighting or give up the TV. The sisters were crushed, and didn't fire up a console for years afterward.

[@insaincaldo]

Someone is not getting a parent of the year award

[@Safiyahalishah]

Dude I used to do this in pretty much every game I played! I can't imagine my parents being so cruel about it! ):

[@insaincaldo]

*Thelving the Wing* Couldn't even imagine my mom following along long enough to figure out the goal of the game on her own, let alone question if I'm doing it right.

[@orenrehkowaroo5844]

I still remember the legend of the Fancy Lad killer who roamed the Capital Wasteland. They use to say "BEWARE!! For if a box of Fancy Lad Snacks appeared in your pockets then you would be visited by a man in a fancy red suit and tear you apart limb from limb with a tiny one handed chainsaw" Now im never saw this man but they used to say that his suit was so fancy that it looked like something Alistair Tenpenny himself would wear but i always assumed it was red from the blood of his victims, and they never caught this super handsome, muscular, dashing, with a great sense of fashion fellow so if you pockets are magically filled with fancy lad snacks RUN fast cause the Fancy Lad Killer is close behind.

[@debbiethomas3300]

When I was playing metal gear rising revengeance, I spend most of the time, cutting trees and cars in half or otherwise just testing what the sword could cut.

[@nicholsonc23]

I really thought you had covered the original knights of the old republic. I would spend hours annoying my brother by spinning in circles and moving the camera in the opposite direction. If while doing this you try to holster your weapons your MC will sort of do a disco-styled breakdance. So fun! Oh, the tears my brother shed lol

[@jentzi23]

A thing I tend to do both in Oblivion and Skyrim is home decorating, the fiddlier the better. I can spend forever just on lining up forks properly on a dinnertable or proping up some staff in a corner to make it look natural. Another thing I did in Oblivion was placing bodies in different poses. I wanted to confuse anyone who found it.

[@DavidJones-tp7td]

I thought I was the only one to spend time decorating my home to look like a home...

[@Shantogen]

In Ark Survival Evolved I like taking the weakest animal (the dodo), breed and train them till I have 100 overpowered all attack Dodos and go on a dodo murdering spree. FEAR THE MIGHT OF MY DODO ARMY!

[@Fede_uyz]

7 times you made your own fun: Any time you play GTA after beating it Btw, whats the longest you've survived killing cops in GTAV? For me it was 40 cops (like 10 minutes of pure fighting, no fleeing)

[@GabrielHellborne]

I decided to leave on enemy alive in a Red Alert 2 skirmish once , then spend two days building a fortress base the size of the whole map....

[@omegagamer8845]

Boy, you guys have really got it in for Mike! Stealing his wallet, balancing items on him while he's asleep! Sounds like great fun, I can't wait to see what's next!

[@thatonepundit]

I personally enjoy launching NPC’s or wildlife off cliffs in Skyrim just so I can watch them rag doll. I’m truly a monster.

[@Cyfrik]

Frenzy spells and poisons can also be a lot of fun. Cast it on random woodland critters or NPCs and watch chaos unfold.

[@angelganon8213]

I dont know a single person who didnt lock Winston up when we played

[@Leto85]

Well, on occasion I jump off mountains in Skyrim... without dying and without shouting. Pretty fun indeed.

[@MihzvolWuriar]

This one I have to share In Twisted Metal 3, there's a cheat code that greatly increases the kinetic energy released by weapons, a missile would knock you over very easily, a mine or bomb would send you very high in the air, and *Sweeth Tooth special would send enemies flying so far,* they often died out of map... So I said, let's make a competition, I stay on one side of the map, my cousin at the other, we both would launch enemies at each other, if any car hit any of us, the other gets a point, after all enemies are dead, the one with more points win... Believe it or not, this was so fun, we spent weeks, months doing this shit, and after everyone wa dead, we'd try to kill each other by out of map death, because we had the God cheat on too, was pretty easy though, one hit in the right spot, there you go flying to your death... There was that one in the game Driver 1, God cheat, Miami, go straight until you find a bridge, get max felony an start jumping it from side to side, and look all the police cars going absolutely crazy, it was so fun too, we had to frequently pause to laugh our asses off... Man those games were awesome

Well now I'm wondering which of Oxboxtra lot Jane considers her manservant and how many times a week they get locked in a fridge 🤔

[@davidwit7749]

It's Luke, though he's not actually locked in a fridge. It's a shipping container.

[@CrazeeAdam]

Ellen is the foot stool, Andy is her music person, luke is the butler, may be Mike? Or maybe they take turns lol

[@Anergyne]

the answer is 'all of them' and 'they only come out to make videos'.

[@oynque8965]

Don't you see? We are all Jane's servants, to do with as she pleases.

[@RaylaEclipse]

How about in Metal Gear Solid V when you just go about causing trouble for the soldiers in the strangest ways possible. Deploy about 10 decoys of yourself? Plant C4 on someone's back?

[@NoBop2000]

I just beat the shit out of my soldiers on mother base and shouted "SURPRISE INSPECTION!!!" or choke them out and if they said "Harder boss" Which they often did when interrogating i threw them off the side of the base for (as is my excuse) punishment for sexual harassment

[@jakestoneking5555]

et Han of Astora I actually used an unconscious soldier (I named him Harold) to take out an entire camp. Spent a lot of time shouting "Harold! I choose YOU!" while I sent him careening into his unsuspecting, soon to be unconscious comrades.

[@canadaninja6794]

Hiding and throwing magazines at guard's heads, anyone?

I like to something like that in Halo by seeing how many bad guys i could get by sticking one with a plasma grenade.

[@dr.bright6272]

[@wikeni9096]

In Skyrim I always loved collecting junk (empty wine bottles, various produce, etc.), finding a tall cliff with a great view, dumping it all and Fus Ro Dah-ing it straight to Oblivion (or down into the valley below, you know, whichever)

A fan of Dishonored I see lol

[@thearishok2802]

So I'm not the only one who stacks bodies on hard to see ledges? Good to know!

[@OtakuHanzo]

I do that all the time in Skyrim. I especially love putting them in compromising positions since you can grab specific parts of their bodies for finite positioning. It's even funner with a nude mod.

Racking up your wanted level in GTA just to see how high you can get it and how long you can keep it there.

[@loporina]

I think the best thing with the GTA wanted level is getting it as high as possible then finding the ONE spot the cops couldn't really get to you and watch them run around desperately trying to find a path to you. A bit harder in later games like GTAV, but still fun. Also, in GTA, creating traffic jams. Shoot out the tires of a passing car and hopefully it spins out and blocks several highway lanes and you get to watch a multicar pileup form.

[@digitool5944]

also apparently you can get a near infinite traffic jam in GTA Online, which you can also get to infinity explode if you have enough people (to keep the area loaded if you keep dying to exploding traffic)

[@PHANTOMCOWGIRL]

GTA five definitely has to be CARCOUR Which is the art of throwing yourself into the windscreen of cars on the highway, hoping to kill the driver.

[@johnsansker7064]

Actually, in GTA V, there's a few places the police still won't go. 1) Train tracks, and the tunnels through mountains. 2) Subway. A variation on the above, sure, but, it works too. 3) Sewer. You can access it through the river way on the east side of the map in a couple of places, but, again, the cops won't follow you down there.

[@Yahuaa]

6:10 was heartwarming and inspiring. Also you stole the sweet rolls I saws it.
