I was designing and testing an AA gun for my Albderan class frigate. The gun itself was fine, it's just the proximity fuses on the ammunition that needed tuning.

I learned some things.

1. It's really difficult to tell how effective your AA gun is when you also have 24 cruise missiles annihilating the same target.
2. It would be nice if there was a way to quickly disable certain subsystems on your ship. (If there is one, I don't know about it yet.)
3. It really, really sucks when the game crashes on you and you lose about an hour of work.

So I played one of the better-designed maps designed to be hard and aesthetically pleasing.

Brutal Doom does not like 'suddenly monsters'.  But at least they weren't 'suddenly buttsecks' monsters.  They killed you to your face.  And I would have stopped playing if they were.


neway, too many archviles, not enough plasma guns.  1 plasma gun is insufficient to kill a vile before they do at least 1 bomb, and there were 2 or more consistently.

I decided I'd use my research booster to try and unlock some British planes.

I was not prepared for several frustrating minutes of not being able to turn fast enough, plinking away at similar planes only to do basically zero damage to them, trying to keep a lid on enemy planes much faster than mine, and being instantly destroyed as soon as an enemy pilot so much as gave my plane a mean look.

I mean, not that I'm some fantastic pilot with America's planes, but at least I can accomplish something flying a P26. After fully upgrading both of my Furies, they still seem to only get by on pure dumb luck.

Almost at the end of the map. Maybe ten guys left.

Mia gets shot by a dark wizard and thankfully survives. I figure Rhys can just fix her up next turn and we'll be A-O--

Haha, one default map and one DLC map have that effect, except it's at the end of every turn. In the case of the DLC map, you have to rescue five Anna NPCs, and aren't allowed to use rescue staves. They are standing on a lava patch that deals 10 per turn.
I have only once managed to win Five-Anna Firefight and only then with a number of very narrow, skin of my teeth survives.

Ok so theres a whole bunch of zombies from the nearby megamall dogpiling on that road turret.  I want to check out the loot at the blockade but there's too many zombies, the turret has long since run out of ammo and the zombies can't hurt the turret.  Hmmm.

I know I'll fire a rocket launcher into them all and then collect the wonderful loot.
*fwoosh* *boom* *boom*(turret blew up)

Barely phased mass of zombies: Brains?  Brains! ^_^
Me: Shit.

If it wasn't for the feral predators I woulda managed to outrun them all.  Explosives are surprisingly ineffective against a mound of zombies.

As I was coming back from a fruitful session in a sporting goods store, I saw fungal stalks with a few spores on the very edge of my character's vision. No big deal, I can deal with it in the morning, right? Just need to rest a bit, take away this "Tired" status...

Wrong.

Next thing I know, entire base is engulfed in white fungal matter, and soon I'm sprouting the damn mushrooms myself.

I pressed 'v' which is the long taunt instead of 'c' which is back one weapon.  The caccodemon in from of me loved it.

I started a murder-rampage in the middle of Novac, because that's what you do sometimes in New Vegas. Start a murder-rampage for fun. I had a quicksave from before, though, because I was playing a Good character.
Everyone in town is dead except Cliff Briscoe. Halfway to the Dino-Bite, I press 5 to get out my grenade launcher, except-

Quicksaving...

-snip-
And now I'm feeling a little
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
because I failed to realize that the rocks hit a few choice spots of damaged terrain on the map. It wasn't random at all, I just made the biggest tactical screwup of my life and failed to see the connection between two obviously related events.

In a cheap attempt to shift the blame I'd like to state that the animation makes no sense at all as it involves rocks flying out of the lava forming the level borders and somehow hitting the exact same areas every time, which would be, to say the least, a gigantic probability anomaly.

After nabbing a Anachronistic-Product-Placement-Mate Calorie-Mate from the nearby food shed I move to Sokrovenno and brace myself for impact. I hit the ground after the cutscene, get out the directional microphone, and listen for the old geezer's trademark huffing and puffing. After tracking it I pull out my binoculars and spot him on a cliff, aiming at nothing in particular and hoping I come ambling through with anything less than 90% camo. I see this as my chance to hold him up and nab his camo early.

I sneak up to his cliff. It starts raining, so I put on the Raindrop camo and become borderline invisible. I get over to where he was situated...

...and suddenly see myself through a rifle scope. The End lets loose a pun about his own name and pumps me full of tranqs.

Lead boots.  Death metal was a springtrap away and I forgot I had the boots on.  The trap didnt spring me, leaving me 1 tile behind in my planning.

Crypt of the Necrodancer.

Stupid boots.  I usually try to avoid them.

I don't think it does, but when Snake talks to Major and Para-Medic about it he's disappointed, not having given The End the battle he wanted. So enjoy feeling bad about that.
