I PVP'd Asmongold in classic WoW and obliterated him once if that counts lol

Love that

 

[Sleepwalker]

I played F1 with Checo Perez and Max Verstappen at a red bull event.

Few years prior I got to play FIFA with a few barcelona players at an EA event. (no, Messi did not attend. rip)

These were all local multiplayer instances though, have never come across someone famous online.

 

[R6Rider]

I played a match of Siege against YouTuber Evan Braddock once. I actually didn't know who it was until a friend noticed his name.

Not really famous, but that's the only streamer or Youtuber I've ever played online.

Otherwise I've played with and against some DICE devs in Battlefield before.

 

[mopspear]

I have The 8-Bit Guy's phone number. (not multiplayer but where else am I going to write this?)

 

[Griffon]

Famous people usually never disclose who they are to their online gaming circles. If you played a lot of organized online games, chances are you did play with someone famous without realizing it.

Online gaming is a very good escape for celebrities.

 

[killatopak]

Played with pro players before they became pro. Does that count?

 

[lem0n]

He's only a big deal if you're big into cars like me, but I met and befriended Bob Hall (often considered the father of the Mazda Miata) in a Forza Horizon lobby once. We played most of that game online together and some of Horizon 2. He was absolutely full of stories from his time in the industry. Fascinating guy!

 

[Husky]

I once cannibalized Basshunter in Rust after a bear killed him. I wasn't really into the game so I didn't play much, but he ran a server, and I liked his music.

 

[TheKremlinBossMan]

Played a number of times against Maximillian Dood in multiple fighting games. Guy is always a good sportsmanship even after destroying me every time.

Max is very cool even if you body him. Very good disposition for a streamer.
I play a lot of very well known people in the FGC regularly and am constantly in Ranked matches with pro players in Smite and Siege.

 

[Pelta88]

Jack Frags in BF4.

You play on console or pc? I always want to try this but only have console and I heard it sucked at release so I never got it

Always PC for me

 

[Arsic]

I played with MrListerTheSisterFister in gears of war and BukkakeNinja in Fortnite.

The most famous names I’ve ran across for sure.

 

[DocEbok]

Ran into fatality few times in pubg with that site that would show who killed or who you killed clips. He was making his teammates bait for him and seemed angry -.-

 

[LostInTime]

YouTuber The Professional was in a Hell Let Loose match on my team once on PS5.

 

[nikos]

Lots of top players in the Street Fighter IV days, both in real life (locals/majors) and online. I'm on an episode of Excellent Adventures or two.

Ran into streamers in PUBG/CoD such as Dr. Disrespect, chocoTaco, Swagg, hambinooo.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Not sure if this counts, but I went to a Tekken 7 tournament and I met Harada, Markman, Aris, Diago, Justin Wong, Speedkicks and a few other tournament players. It was really cool. I got to talk to Harada the longest and he was extremely nice.

Played SMUG on an invite and he beat me so badly I had to reconsider some things. The speed of his Balrog in SFV is insanity.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I dunno what the barometer is but I met many top national Smash Melee players 15 years ago or so. Guess that's about as close as it gets for me.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

I’ve played Phil Spencer in a couple of GamePass titles.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Many of you probably played Fortnite with me. I was the one getting the VICTORY ROYALE.

 

[Calverz]

I’ve played COD with Fred Durst

 

[Crayon]

I got lined up against then time world champion ricky ortiz in a regional. I never actually know what ricky looked like so I had no idea. All I knew was wow that was the best sf player I ever played. It felt like I was being controlled like a puppet.

 

[NewYork214]

David jaffe in calling all cars. Remember reading his blog every day and him setting up games. Now I love watching his YouTube.

 

[Warablo]

I played against CJ Miles ex NBA player in CoD.

Also might get a hot woman with that name too if you google.

 

[Dr_Salt]

Played and beat Manuel Ferrara in DBFZ(no homo)

 

[Lasha]

I've been in a few iracing lobbies with Tony Stewart.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Robin Williams used to play Team Fortress Classic on the server we frequented.

 

[20cent]

Played against a guy called "1amG0D" in COD once.

 

[GermanZepp]

Gow ascension MP, started playing with a friend and a dude who later become n°3 in the world for a while. Such a fun game, very broken though, and ruined by microtransaction sh*t.

This is awesome, what was he like?

 

[hybrid_birth]

I met my girlfriend playing halo 3 back in 2008. She was the only female voice that I had heard all day. I sent her a message with my MySpace and she thought I was cute. She lived in Austin Texas so I took a greyhound bus to visit her.

Lost my virginity to her but it was worth it. Unfortunately this was right after high school and the distance was too much. Had I not had a mental health crisis I'd probably still be with her.

 

[Vandole]

I was in the underground indie film, Irish American Ninja, and had almost a minute worth of dialogue. So while I haven't played with anyone famous, if you play with me, you'll get to play with someone famous... kinda... sorta... maybe...

 

[Roufianos]

Seem to recall playing a Japanese teenage dating sim with The Queen.

 

[FUBARx89]

Seem to recall playing a Japanese teenage dating sim with The Queen.

Sure it wasn't her nonce son pretending to be the queen?

 

[Rickyiez]

I played with Diego Umejuarez before

 

[Bartski]

I'm usually the celebrity shiposter from Neogaf surrounded by some randos

 

[fran.fernandez]

I had dinner with suda51 , but real life does count right ?

 

[Toots]

Spoiler: Backstory

A good friend of mine and he were buddies from college. Eventually he needed someone to sherpa him through raids in D2 and that's how I met him.

Not Lebron then.
I bet it was that sneaky snek Durant.

 

[PanzerCute]

I played in the same guild as Winz in World of Warcraft. That guy is a legend in FPS games, became world champion in 4 fast fps (Quake, Unreal, Shootmania) and was also very famous in Overwatch before OWL.

That guy was a prick.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

I’ve played COD with Fred Durst

How'd that happen

 

[nush]

I played Death Tanks Zwie on the Saturn with members of Sonic Team.

 

[Calverz]

How'd that happen

He plays COD a lot. Well not so much the mp anymore. More warzone now. But back in the original mw2 days he was really active on Twitter and would host matches with fans etc. he played a lot with his son at that time. Over the years Iv kept up to date with his tag and see him from time to time playing online. Joined a couple of his matches. He is a pretty chill guy.

 

[Pantz]

Phreak, one of the commentators/announcers for League of Legends in a Dominion match. He called me a name in all chat... "stupid head" or something like that. We went pretty even on kills against each other. RIP Dominion.

 

[jeffyjaixx]

I randomly matched and played with ML 7, Fitzyhere, and Kragie before in ranked OW. Won all the games with them

That's really cool. He seems like he'd be a fun hang

 

[AV]

I played TF2 with Dopefish a few times.

 

[Krathoon]

I wish they would get Conan O'Brien to play FF14.

 

[H4ze]

I played wow with a famous german rapper. Does that count?

Bushido or Dame? xD

 

[swaffles23]

I ran into Lirik on Day Z mod like 10 years ago
