Ok, so I'll confess that I'm on the fence on the subject of puns. Sometimes, I LOVE a good pun (or a bad one, depending on your POV) and others I can take it/leave it.
That said, I know there is a rich tradition of puns in gaming (tabletop/video/MMO/etc) and I'd like to hear everyone ring in with their favorite/least favorite/most godsawful puns.
With that said, I'll share one that has very little to do with gaming, but came up during a Shadowrun v1 game that I ran a very very long time ago.
<begin pun>
Now you may or may not be familiar with the concept of "Blue Ice", but the fact of the matter is that it sometimes happens.
Moreover, sometimes it's lethal. Imagine, if you will, a piece of this blue discharge hurtling down from flight altitudes and striking a hapless individual. One day, it happened. Crashed through a person's roof, slamming into them and rendering them VERY dead.
When the CSI was done and the cause of death was declared, the detective in charge wrote it off as "Cause of death = Icy BM"
</pun>

A pun is a rare medium well done.

The icy bm line was from one of Spider Robinson's Callahan books from the 70s, but I do approve of CSI for having the good (or bad) taste to steal it.
Oops! Just realized that wasn't supposed to be from CSI..

Wait, so it's a good thing that I'm a bad American? I guess that makes me an Ex-patriot.
Don't mind Sebastian; he loves to plow into a thread to nag and complain until he's hoarse... shoe, pony-boy, shoe!

HERE is a rich source of puns from OEDILF, The Omnificent English Dictionary in Limerick Form. Enjoy.
A steak pun is a rare medium well done.

Now it can be put to rest.

You are just asking for horse puns.
AJ:I heard Rainbow Dash is back in the Horsepital.TS: Don't worry, the doctors say she's in stable condition.
Can't believe they never used that in the show.

One summer day, a man was at the seashore. He stood on the beach, stamping his foot. Then he walked into the water and waded around. After wading in the water, he went back onto the beach and stamped his foot. This cycle continued until someone asked him what he was doing.
"I'm surfing," the man answered.
"What do you mean, you're surfing? You're stamping your foot on the beach and wading in the shallow water."
"That's right," the man answered, "I'm surfing. They also surf who only stamp and wade."
