Funniest Home Surveillance Tapes

Storm · 2014-02-09 17:12:22

Post your surveillance tapes here. Whether it's something funny, interesting, mind-boggling, you want to show it off, or whatever

If you don't know how, here's a quick lesson ->

1. Download Licecap http://www.cockos.com/licecap/. Its fun, its easy, its free

2. Have your game open to a robbery replay you want to record -> run licecap, resize/position the licecap window over the replay window. Press "record" in the bottom right of the licecap window frame -> select a place to save it (desktop is fine). Play your replay, watch, laugh, when its over go to licecap window and stop recording. This saves a .gif to where you selected.

3. Go to https://imgbb.com/ and upload your .gif.

4. Copy your link at the bottom after uploading, then come back here and make a response to this thread, add your image by pasting the code you copied from imgbb.com into your post
surrounded by image tags and .image.

example:

[img]https://image.<paste your link here without the "https://" part>[/img]

so the final line that you put in your post will look something like this:

[img]https://image.ibb.co/dQtpJR/TCD2.gif[/img]

(note: this is a workaround I came up with, if you just copy paste the link they give you it will make you go to their website to view the .gif)

Yes, this game does provide some truly hilarious moments. I already posted this, but I'll put a link here to contribute to the thread. Here are some of my personal favorites. If you just want the laughs you can stop watching when the conquering robber's replay starts.

I have often wondered why when my dogs are bearing down on someone with meat and clubs AND the safe exit RIGHT THERE THREE STEPS BEHIND THEM, they walk RIGHT INTO THE JAWS OF DEATH.

I know, right?? Seriously, what is up with that!! Maybe our pitbulls are just really, really cute.

And that poor cat! Hahaha, actually, I love to do stuff like that when I'm just respawn-robbing for the sake of doing it. Kill pets, mess up the house, do totally unnecessary and erratic things just to give the owner a ridiculous tape to watch.

I was doing that once with way too many tools on a cheaper house, just being a jerk when I had a really nice house/tons of money. I went in randomly sawing holes in his walls, throwing bricks at his cats, needlessly dumping water on his power supplies, going after his children with a club... when I found his safe I decided to turn around and cause even more mayhem before taking his money and leaving, so I turn around and take a couple steps away and die to a pitbull I had forgotten I drugged... wish i had that video still...

Ok I've made 17 .gifs of people doing really stupid stuff in my house.

I'll upload them as soon as my house falls. Could be a few days, I've been standing since Wednesday.

Americans17, that's what happens when a robber gets disconnected from the server.

Coulda been me. If I suicide run on a richer house and fail, I'll try to make it back out and kill myself in a poor house to give them a free bounty.

heh, thought u had depression. I wouldve offered you a bowl of soup if you came to my house.

this guy was beyond the powers of a bowl of soup, however

will show more if people get any further into the house. yeah, I realize the tapes could give away some of the traps, but... meh. bring it.

I like how you took a step just to prevent the owner from mistaking your generosity

sebastian · 2014-02-11 00:47:31

Lol. People keep going into a pit that isnt even placed/designed to be part a trap, rather designed to be a "non-vision blocking wall".

I don't know why. Have lots of "3 step/4 step Deaths" from that obvious pit there. Do they Think its a floor there?

I thought I was alone...
whenever I "lose" a family+house, I do about 10 runs of the following

Use starting 2000 to buy a bunch of random items (either 20 water, or a ladder and door stop if i'm lazy)
Find player with low robberies AND <$100 in value
Attempt to solve their home without using tools
If successful, suicide right in front of their vault
If not successful, see if can back track to entry, if yes, suicide at doorway
If total failure, well.... die.

After my "Santa runs" are over, I start again for real.

This might explain the seemingly blind robbers who come into my houses full of tools and then literally walk directly into the pitbull approaching them.

Ok my house fell, but unfortunately I couldn't upload some of the .gifs to imgur because they are too large.

Here are a few .gifs of people doing silly stuff in my house though:
http://imgur.com/a/tVoSs

It's an 8 step clock cycle, so the .gifs where you see the lights flashing on and off a bunch is people stepping hundreds of times (to figure out the clock), then after they figure it out they lose count or something and die.

Ah! I recognize it, I died to it yesterday. I was about in the middle, on the grid path next to the void of pits. Nice house! What is funny with this kind of clock house, is that even if I keep track of the tempo, after a few minutes of counting and looking at the flashing lights, I somehow get hypnotized and hit the wrong key

Ahh I think I know which tape you are then. I'm afraid you didn't miscount at all! You got caught by the (somewhat tricky) magic dance trap.
I posted the mapshot up on reddit, here's the imgur link: http://i.imgur.com/nwwvxo9.png

If yours is the tape I'm thinking of, you were on step 7 of the cycle but you forced my pitbull to turn the floors on.
You had one or two of a bunch of different tools?
