Homebrew Homicide

The game: Halo 3

The crime: Infinitely embarrassing another player with floaty death.

The setup: You're running and gunning on Sandtrap. Just after ducking into one of the tunnels, another player rushes in behind you, firing madly. In a moment of total confusion and fright you chuck a grenade on the ground, jump into a nearby grav lift and soar away to freedom. Turning around, you see your foe's now-lifeless body shamefully hovering in place in the lift, dangling for all to see. Rag doll physics wins again.

Favorite moment: Well, we couldn't recreate the exact moment in a ranked game (people don't want to cooperate when online pride is at stake), so we put this hilarious montage together. The double grenade slap is pretty sweet. Who knew an emotionless suit of armor could be so entertaining?
