How should I go about pranking my brother who plays WoW? - General

[QUOTE=MainSqueeze;23897991]He's watching a movie in the living room right now, computer is on.[/QUOTE] Run over ninja style, do a backflip, land in the chair, log in to his account, delete everything. When he returns, swivel round and say "Ahh, Mr. Bond... I've been expecting you!"

Make his shortcut redirect to gay porn websites. Make ALL shortcuts redirect there...

smash his videocard with a hammer, then yell SURPRISE!

[QUOTE=peterson;23898026]Don't do anything and stop trying to garner attention from Facepunch.[/QUOTE] You're right, maybe I'll let you two play together. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/search.php?searchid=3174734[/url]

Just remove the video card and such. It will make him horribly mad because it will lag so much. Also, didn't you make a thread about this sometime before?

Make his WoW Shortcut direct to meatspin :downs:

Just rename and move his wow.exe and make a new one that redirects to gay porn or something depends on how clueless he is though.

Put a magnet to his harddrive. :v: That is, if you are feeling cruel.

Did he ever let you play the game, 'to try it out'? If so, you probably have a character on his account. Delete ALL characters on ALL servers, except his worst/least favourite/yours. Delete some essential files (probably .dll's) from the WoW directory, and redirect all 'normal' shortcuts to WoW to something like Lemonparty.org 'Normal' shortcuts include the quick-launch bar, desktop icon and the one you get to via 'Start'. This will put a serious damper on his mood, but there's a problem: only you could have done this. This is where the fake e-mail comes in. Normally these are sent with texts about telling your password or shutting down your account (see above). This time, you make it give a warning that a security-leak on 'whatever OS he uses' is currently in use by hackers, who infect random websites/images/files/anything your brother downloads, and this infection will mess up your WoW files and directories, like a virus custom-made for WoW-players. End it with 'we're still working on this, and any data you lost should be reassigned to you in 2 weeks-one month. We are fully aware of the matter and the players affected, and there is no need to call us up on it. There will be no problems.' The last part will make it so he will probably decide to take the risk and maybe even stops playing for the two-four weeks. After that the second stage opens, where he contacts Blizzard asking for his characters back, who in turn have no idea what this idiot is talking about. Confusion complete. Tip: only do this if you think you can pull it off. You'll have to do some preparations (and film it, if possible) and you'll have to act innocent for a long time. And upload the video only after he's already contacted Blizzard and such, as that may give new (more hilarious) footage for you (us). [b][edit]Just a small list of how it goes.[/b] Clicks desktop icon, goes to Lemonparty. Anger/confusion. Clicks quick-launch icon, idem dito. More anger/confusion. Goes to Start menu, sort of expects it now, same amount of anger/confusion. Gets to the actual .exe in Program Files, manages to enter WoW (maybe reset his password to keep him in this stage for some time). Sees all characters gone. Confusion. Goes to other servers, sees everything is gone, except for his least favourite character. extreme anger/confusion. Reads mail, and sees the 'cause'. Slight relief and talking to himself. "OK Gerald, it'll be alright... it's gonna be OK." Waits anxiously for Blizzard's confirmation four weeks long. Checks back into WoW/e-mail every two hours or so. Confusion and slight sadness. Nothing restored after 4-5 weeks. Great confusion and worry. Calls up to Blizzard, who claim to know nothing. Anger and worry. Mainly anger. Settles down, and grumpily accepts. Either stops completely, or starts anew. In case of the latter, repeat. If done extremely right, he will never play WoW again.

Be a good brother and don't do anything.

Just whatever you do, take all remotes away from his room.

Run into his room in the middle of the night and punch him square in the balls.

I want to do something simple, yet not letting him know it was me

[QUOTE=MainSqueeze;23898303]I want to do something simple, yet not letting him know it was me[/QUOTE] how about you leave him be and let him play the game he enjoys (yes, I play WoW too.)

Put a authenticator on his account.

Cut his ethernet cable.

[QUOTE=MainSqueeze;23898303]I want to do something simple, yet not letting him know it was me[/QUOTE] No one will know that the magnet belongs to you. :3:

Log into his accounts/characters and delete all his ingame contacts (clan, friends, etc.)

[QUOTE=JackHowers;23898031]Make his shortcut redirect to gay porn websites. Make ALL shortcuts redirect there...[/QUOTE] Take a screenshot of his desktop with all the icons. Set his background as that screenshot and then right click the desktop and uncheck "Show Desktop Icons" Lulz ensues.

[QUOTE=Velguador;23898391]Log into his accounts/characters and delete all his ingame contacts (clan, friends, etc.)[/QUOTE] Which will do nothing because Blizzard will have it restored within 48 hours.

[QUOTE=lead_farmer;23897741]If he's playing WoW, he's already pranking himself. No need.[/QUOTE] Pranking himself by having fun? [editline]11:08AM[/editline] [QUOTE=ketchup;23898262]holy fuck doing something like this is nerdier than playing WoW itself[/QUOTE] I think it's sad as fuck that they're trying to ruin some kid's day by fucking up his favorite game, bunch of pricks I tell ya.

[QUOTE=Tukimoshi;23898403]Take a screenshot of his desktop with all the icons. Set his background as that screenshot and then right click the desktop and uncheck "Show Desktop Icons" Lulz ensues.[/QUOTE] But the start bar is still there.

Put all his items in a chest or some shit.

[QUOTE=Pandemix;23898449]But the start bar is still there.[/QUOTE] Yes, but what kind of lazy WoW player will use the start bar? He must figure out why his icons are not working! Also, unlock his start bar and drag it to the side or top of the screen and then lock it again.

Why are you doing this to your brother? Are you just an asshole or what

[QUOTE=MilkManNick;23898259]Be a good brother and don't do anything.[/QUOTE] That's the worst prank ever man

Set the language of his OS to Arabic

Delete his shit, and loosen the screws on the computer chair while you're at it. Also, shit in his cars heater.
