The Interesting Possibilities Of Pranking With Technology In 2019 With Jessica Ruiz

Technology has advanced so much that humanity cannot even fathom to live without it already. Even as we go about our daily regular lives, technology is present everywhere we look. It has permeated our lives so much that if a small glitch happens, it would definitely cause a major disruption. This means that pranking your friends with the technology that they are dependent on will not only cause trust issues but also create a major impact on them.

Here are some pranks that you can play on your friends using technology. Gamers are perhaps one of the best people to prank. When they get into the groove of playing, they become so invested into the game that a logical person would not want to screw with them. They dive deep into the rabbit hole and there is a very low chance of you being able to shake them loose.

However, with a few pranks here and there, you can definitely ensure that your friend becomes more vigilant. Poking some good-natured fun at friends is just part of the friendship routine. You should definitely enjoy life and one of the best ways to do this is to play pranks on your friends and family.

Broken Screen Prank

Nothing could be more heartbreaking to a gamer than to find their most trusted Laptop or PC with a broken screen. Playing with even a tiniest crack on the screen can already hinder the gaming experience. The functionality and usability of the device is greatly diminished. What more if it is the entire screen. It is bothersome to play with a broken screen especially if you are relying on full visibility to win.

Combat games like Counter-Strike or League of Legends are dependent on how much you see. You are immediately handicapped if you can’t see as much as you should as it allows you to have blind spots where enemies can come in and gank you. The aesthetics of your gaming unit will also be affected as the slightest flaw can make your unit look unsightly.
This classic prank is easy to do. Just download a broken screen wallpaper that mimics their wallpaper and watch as your friends languish at the thought of a broken screen.

Covered Mouse

The mouse is one of the most important parts of a gaming PC. Without it, you would not be able to move your cursor thus rendering you unable to move in-game. This prank is easy and yet can lead to your victim tearing their hair out. Most modern mice use a laser to detect movement. All you have to do is cover the laser hole with a piece of tape or sticky note.

Their frustrations at not being able to move their cursor will be one for the books. A lot of people will keep on looking for a problem behind the CPU and searching for broken wires. Some will even think that their computer is the problem and would reboot it multiple times.

Use A Voice Changer

If your victim is into serious gaming and plays competitively, then you should definitely try this prank out. Note that this only works with First thing you have to do is find a game that he/she thoroughly enjoys. Be good at that. Make sure that you can totally crush your victim again and again and again.

Next thing you do is to create a totally new account so your victim does not realize that it is you who they are playing with. Play against them and keep on beating your friend. There is something frustrating at being beaten to a pulp by someone.

Before they ragequit, open your mic and let them think that they were beaten by an 8-year old kid. If you do not have a kid whose voice you can borrow by letting them speak on the mic then you should use a Voice Changer App for this prank. Just how bruised do you think their pride and ego would get if they think that they were crushed in a game they love by a pre-adolescent?

CD Mix-Up

This prank is perfect if you have some time on your hands. What you do is raid your victim’s CD case and mess it up. If he/she is a legit gamer, they would have dozens upon dozens of games. Open each CD case and put one on a different case. Imagine how frustrated your victim would be when he decides to play a specific game and he gets a different one instead. The more games your friend has, the better this prank becomes. It would take your friend hours just to re-organize back the games that you have purposely misplaced.
