One well-known feature of ''Liquid Generation'' was their long line of ''Sabotage'' [[Screamer|screamers]]. These were a series of online pranks which masqueraded as legitimate flash applications, games or videos, but eventually lead up to a jump scare to startle and/or embarrass the viewer. While these screamers were properly filed under the ''Sabotage'' or ''Pranks'' category on the homepage, people were encouraged to share them with unsuspecting friends or colleagues, with some pranks even being specifically designed to be sent by email. [[File:Ninja.gif|thumb|''The Liquid Generation Sabotage ninja animation.''|220x220px]]As a recurring theme, most of these screamers ended with a screen saying “You've been Sabotaged!” and a logo depicting a ninja's face, while a humorous “Liquid Generation: Sabotage!” jingle played in the background. After the jingle, a cartoon ninja, who essentially served as the series' mascot, jumped down from the top of the screen and said “Click here for more Sabotage!” in a Japanese accent, after which he was crushed by the link to the ''Liquid Generation'' homepage. | One well-known feature of ''Liquid Generation'' was their long line of ''Sabotage'' [[Screamer|screamers]].

Many of these pranks have been leaked to other games websites, often with no indication that they are screamers. There is also an unofficial YouTube channel hosting the footage of a large selection of these screamers, since they are no longer available on the homepage (link below). | Many of these pranks have been leaked to other games websites, often with no indication that they are screamers.
