I was playing Half-Life 2 deathmatch with my brother at a LAN cafe and we were having a blast with the gravity gun.

For those unfamiliar, the gravity gun can be used to ‘grab’ objecs in the game and hurl them. One of the objects you can hurl is a toilet! I was having a great time using creative ways to knock people into the next plane of existence.

Another fun thing was to hurl several filing cabinets/barrels/toilets up the air at random, only to have another player inexplicably get crushed to death by the incoming rain of debris.

I still think that autoerotic asphyxiation would be worse.

So, where were you when the shit hit the man?

Breaking one’s neck while autofellating would have to be right up there.

I thought this was going to be about _The Boondock Saints_.

To **Incubus** : Did you notice that after you kill someone by flinging something at them the death symbol is a flying toilet?

Classic!

My buddy and I sometimes find unpopulated servers and go 1v1 with a “Grav-gun only” rule. It makes for some frantic moments!
