I got that game as one of those Total War deals that pop up from time to time. I should probably give it a shot one day

If your computer can run it even moderately well, I would sincerely reccommend it. Then again, I've played every Total War game, starting with Shogun Total War, right up to Napoleon, Empire, and Medieval 2. I'm going to get Rome TW 2 the instant it comes out, if it hasn't already. I love these games.

I was laid on a forested slope opposite an airfield with the rest of Bravo squad, there were six of us, used to be 7 but one got gunned down by a tank's MG. The one who brought along a rocket launcher had finally managed to get the range of the tank from someone, and blew it up. A bunch of their crew bailed and we opened fire. Almost as soon as they did, there was only me left and a couple other guys.

One called for our pilot to fly over some medical supplies seeing as our squad mate was hit to the point of being incapable of anything beyond crawling along the ground. The pilot had half of Delta squad who'd just got back from finally blowing up the factory (the map was really awkward about where the explosion had to be. I'm sure we must have blown up enough C4 on that thing to launch a small car into space), and they came to back us up. We continued firing into the ~9 guys prone around the destroyed tank. They looked to be mostly dead, and the medics were treating the minor wounds. I was fine because of luck and cover, so I kept a lookout for any approaching enemies. I saw one guy who was skirting around a nearby building and opened fire. He went down, but the shots must have been audible on the airfield because a tank was rolling along the runway, turned to face us, and started firing into the trees where we were. It was about a kilometer away so none hit anyone as far as I could tell, but they were still dangerously close and explosive.

I shifted myself behind a tree in the hopes that it would lose line of sight on everyone and stop, and just then I heard the crack of a single rifle shot, and then I dropped down dead. No bleeding out or anything, so it must have been an extremely lucky body-shot or a headshot. Looking back on it, it was almost certainly the last guy I thought I'd downed earlier. He must have dropped and had all of the shot miss anything vital, leaving him with enough ability to instantly kill me as soon as he could see me again.

Arma 2 Free, some public server.
It really goes to show that you can have public servers that work well.

I had blazed my way through Super Mutants and Giant Radscorpions with my trusty Combat Shotgun. All was well. I had uncovered a few new locations, and then proceeded along one of those elevated highways. In the midst of a rather uneventful journey, I notice the distinctive red blip of an enemy. I walked towards it, because I'm bored, and want to kill something. The blip disappears. I turn around. The blip is there. It takes me a while to figure it out, but I eventually realized that the enemy was below the highway, on an island in the river it was passing over. I hop down through a hole, thinking 'I have 360 hitpoints. I should be fine.'

*THUD*
LOLNOPE.

At least I managed to take a shot at the Mirelurk Hunter that was down there before I hit the ground.

We recently upgraded the family computer, actually. I installed it today while I was at school

And my first "death" already! Playing the second part of the Road to Independence campaign. I have taken Quebec and am moving on Montreal from two sides. Suddenly, a massive Huron force moves in on one of my armies. I notice that I'm fairly  outnumbered, but I decide to fight anyway.

On my side: Four colonial soldiers, three rangers, and two colonial militia.
On their side: Boatloads of warrior musketmen. Probably at least thirteen units, plus the General.

I place my units on a small hill. I arrange the soldiers in a semicircle at the base of the hill, with hidden rangers guarding the flanks and the militia covering the back. My cunning strategy is to allow the Native Americans to attempt to encircle my soldiers, which will get themselves ambushed by my rangers (who have yet to fail me) and hopefully make them break in panic. The militia will guard against any units (like the general on horseback) who manage to actually get around.

What I failed to account for was the fact that nearly the entire ground between us was considered cover (thus allowing to Huron warriors to move through much of it Hidden). Plus, the Huron weren't interested in falling for my fancy little ploys. They smashed directly into the front lines of my soldiers, causing them to break and flee from sheer firepower. I ended up moving my militia up to fill the ranks, all the while cursing my soldier's cowardice. The ranger ambush actually worked fairly well, each ranger killing a fair number of enemies before I told them to fall back. But there were so many of those dastardly foes that they simply marched forward and swamped my fleeing rangers.

And then the game crashed

Empire: Total War, in keeping with the thread rules.

[Hanslanda]

Lol, I must be too pro at TW, because I took all the outlier provinces, then made an army and marched AROUND Montreal so I could go kill the Huron. I wiped them out, then went to the other town they had and sieged it. They sued for peace, offering a payment of 21000. Holy christ. Deal. Then I took out Montreal.


Also, today I was playing DF. Bandits. With crossbows.

Good gravy, I wish I could play Arma. Or Red Orchestra.

But anyways, my last death was... Hrm. Lemme think.

Pretty sure I botched an attempt to steal a cop car, (it's easy if you do it right) and ended up crashing into something, going flying out the front and faceplanting into a wall.

Daggerfall. The sole disadvantage to being a werewolf is that if you don't kill an innocent person(which can get the Dark Brotherhood's attention) once a month, you drop down to 4 hit points.
