Just had an epic dogfight, I was in a Hurricane Mk II vs a bunch of Spitfires, YAKs and assorted German planes. I got very lucky, shot down 3 planes in one pass. Ok, now they're pissed, I should run away through the canyon. So I run, they're right behind me, tracers everywhere around me. I look back... HOLY SHIT theres a furball of 6 planes after me. Keep running. Then a boom, the two leading planes who chased me crashed. 2 more explosions, 1 plane rammed their debris and died too, another one got teamkilled by someone behind him. Another look back, two planes still behind me, but those are weak, I can outclimb them, stall them, then turn around and finish them. So I begin my climb, get higher and higher, eyes on them. I see them losing a lot of speed, there, the first one stalled, time to turn and get them!

Wait, what is that noise?

WRRROUMMM some heavy Bomber clips my tail off with his wing, takes no damage in the process and sends me falling towards the ground... I was so fixated on those behind me I forgot to look ahead and at the airspace around me.

War Thunder...

Which is a free to play MMO from the guys who made IL 2 Sturmovik. Currently in open beta and already very nice, so go check it out

As a very successful early adventurer, having killed two camp chiefs, I strode proudly into a town to report my successes.

IT WAS A SNAKEMAN TOWN. A very useless Snakeman Peasant walked up to me, tore my foot off and then ripped me to shreds.

I walked about 2 feet away from a town, and a Baldur monk attacked me. Being a Professional Axeman, I thought I could handle it. I was beyond terribly wrong. The monk ran towards me, vaporized all the bones in my left leg, and killed me.

Having just outran a whole pack of Nosalis, my cart decided that it would be a good idea to flip off the tracks and try to crush me. Luckily I managed to fall into a convenient depression, saving my life. Unluckily standing up somehow pushed me into the featureless plane of greyness.

And then the autosave icon appeared...

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Also, Metro 2033. And now I have to start a new game, since it can't load the bloody save. This better not happen a second time.

EDIT: And I've just realized that I could have reloaded to an earlier level. After overwriting my save. Double rage. Ah, well at least Ranger Difficulty is pretty fun so far. My weapons no longer feel so underwhelming in some situations.

To prevent that from happening, you have to look backwards during the downhill portion just moments before the cart flips off the tracks.

Trying out a handful of used games I picked up, I found that Shatterhand may be the best platformer/beat-em-up I've ever seen. Also, the tall mutants in the sewer level are tough as BALLS. They must have killed me six times by now.

Tried to fight the Destroyer. It... ended badly, to say the least.

Got shoved in front of a train by a man wearing a Batman costume.

Alrighty then, I'll try that next time. I must have been checking my six or something when the cut-scene happened.

Also: My latest death was caused by my lack of situational awareness when fighting Nosalises. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee- *SPLAT*

Metro 2033 on Ranger (Easy). I usually die by being filled with bullets, so plummeting off the side of a platform is a nice change of pace. In Ranger mode everyone dies in a couple hits, which is good since you don't get as much ammo. Also, replaying the early missions is pretty fun. Who am I kidding. The best parts in this game are the Metro bits, what with their attention to detail and background conversations. In Riga, one guy was trying to contact other people on a radio, while two other fellows talked about the different survivors/settlements outside the metro. And at the end of their conversation, the guy jokingly tried to contact aliens. I pretty much squee'd out loud at that point. I love those parts that much.

It was a simple task: fly a corvette through some rings.

I crashed into the side of the first one, which was directly ahead.

Independence War, the first tutorial mission.

Another simple task, blow up a dummy destroyer that launches dummy mines. Only, they forgot to tell me they weren't dummies, and that the destroyer shot back with a cannon half the size of my ship. Even my entire stock of Seeker missiles(all 32 of them) didn't kill it.

I-War again, the second weapons tutorial. Also can't figure out how to use more than one of my cannons. The engineering screen says I have 4, but only one fires, and it overheats after 2-3 shots.

Lobstermen. FUCKING LOBSTERMEN.
I miss a terror mission in Japan because my Triton won't refuel fast enough. I'm waiting, and waiting. All my soldiers now have Plastic Aqua Armor, Gauss Rifles, and I'm working on making Medikits and the new Ion Armor for them. Suddenly, a wild swarm of UFOs appear. First, a large UFO, then another one. And another. Finally, a small UFO. That's THREE frakking large UFOs. Shit.
I send the Triton to the nearest one.
Mission begins, and we clear around the ship, despite some assholes inside taking potshots at us through the 'windows'. All but three of my men stack up outside the door. That's eleven soldiers, mkay? A commander, three lieutenants, a whole slew of ensigns and able seamen. All armed to the teeth and ready to kick some ass.
First man through the door gets blasted. I can see three lobsterme. Second man through gets a full round of shooting off, and the guy after him does do. We injure the Lobstermen nearest us. Their turn, they obliterate these two poor bastards. More men pile in, because fuck you, I'm not backing down motherfucker. Before I pile them in, I throw in two grenades and a high explosive device. Then three more men go in. We kill/stun two of them, and realize that there are five of them, not three. We kill/stun another one, and then two of my three men get blasted.
Five out of eleven men down. But I'm not done yet. More pile in, guns blazing. We take down another lobsterman, and one of my ensigns, a Tracey Scot, whom I'm reccommending for some serious gallantry medals, runs out of ammo, drops her gun, and whips out the feared Thermal Tazer. She then proceeds to whup some crustacean ass with it, taking down one lobsterman.
Then, some bad shit happens. Four more lobstermen swarm out of the central elevator bank. My men are cut down in a hail of fire, only killing another lobstermen. A grenade lands outside on what remains of my squad, butchering them. The three men not inside or at the entrance panic.
Tracey Scot, on the other hand, does not panic.
She charges four lobstermen, receives two reaction fire rounds, and puts out another Lobsterman with her stun baton. The next round, the closest lobsterman claws her, FOUR TIMES. She finally dies.
Goddamn lobstermen, I WILL BREAK YOU.

X-COM:TFTD

[Greenstarfanatic]

We're in Arena_Sawmill. My first loadout sucks. Heavy with L'etranger, Flying Guillotine, and Market Gardener. You'd think that a set THIS bad would get me killed quickly.

NOPE.

In fact, I actually got a kill with the Market gardener by randomly swinging in the direction of an enemy demoman wielding a Fan O-War, and a kill with the L'etranger on a Scout running around with Natascha. I was still alive by round's end.

The map changes. Arena_Nucleus. Soldier with the Blutsauger. Constantly losing 2 health. Fuck. the only other thing I have is a custom weapon called 'The Kopesh Climber' which allows you to climb walls by hitting them. I camp out on a roof and semi-snipe people, slowly gaining health. My team eventually pulls through and we win the round.

By now, you people are asking, so, how did you die?

Well, the next round I lucked out. I got a Pyro with a Rocket launcher AND the Golden Wrench. I immediately built a sentry and ran off to kill stuff.

Only to be pinned to a wall by a soldier with the Brass Beast. My team still won. But without me.

[Angel Of Death]

I was fighting a losing battle. I had enough money to buy a plane. Hopefully, it would help me take back what I needed. I forgot to buy it as an empty plane. Oh well, the AI dude in it may be of assistance. I ordered him to fly to a town. He quickly took off, only to curve around a few minutes after flying, do a damn nose dive, and crash into me, killing us both.

ArmA 2. I never recall the AI being so silly.
