Haha, serves you right for hacking a forkbomb.  :P
It's actually probably a modded map... but now I want to know: What is Cortex Roleplay?

It's a roleplaying system on Starcraft 2. It's basically a playable map editor without terraining, with a few extra options (and, sadly, a few things are impossible or incompatible).

I put a horadric lutefisk cube inside another cube...while in the pocket dimension. Which caused time and space to completely collapse(along with an amusing message to that effect, complete with a crash to desktop.)

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

I send two Paladins to attack a single Shaman unit. At the very start of the battle...

"Tlaloc casts Cracks Call"

"Oh, that's not going to do anything, Paladins have Magic Immun-"

*one of the Paladins die*

*What the hell?! Alright I'll just cast Raise Dead and-"

*suddenly remembers that Cracks Call prevents raising*

"Screw this, I'll just retreat and try this again."

"You forces have retreated."
"While retreating, your forces have lost: 1 Paladins."

"..."
*cue angry savescum*

Didn't get the creatures made in time, as I was trying to build up some coal, so I was unprepared when the fires went down and the enemy creatures killed the villagers.

That turn-order thing is definitely a cheat, yeah.  I think Crack's Call is supposed to bypass magic immunity though... Yeah, I had to check the wiki:
http://masterofmagic.wikia.com/wiki/Magic_Immunity#Exceptions

It's a special case because even though you click a unit, it's actually targeting the ground beneath them.  Probably my favorite thing about the game is how many little tricks like that there are.

Then again, I'm not the one who lost magic-immune units to a magic attack.  And the shamans slaying the fleeing paladins is just the retreat mechanic being complete nonsense.  For those not familiar with the game, shamans have a weak ranged magical attack which would do exactly nothing to the magic-immune paladins.

I have a squadron of epic holy knights blessed with flaming swords of Chaos and immunity from everyone else's sparkly magic and they succumb to mankind's greatest, oldest foe, fucking gravity. ::)

Having a really good run of things, with almost no deaths. I did ragequit at the one wasp thing, before remembering that I didn't actually need to kill it. I go through Ridley's domain, die a few times to that evil acid trap you can't escape without the high-jump boots, which I decided to just substitute with bomb jumping up cliffs (That's probably going to come back to haunt me when escaping the planet, though). Then I got to Ridley himself.
Alright, I thought to myself, I remember this guy's moveset. He hits hard, but he wasn't that dangerous. I just need to fire a few missiles at him and DID HE JUST KILL ME IN TWO HITS?!

Wow. Fuck the Librarians. One took a sticky grenade to the face and a full 40-round mag to the head and it STILL didn't die. Oh, and these guys are just fucking EVERYWHERE. On normal too.

Ran out of ammo on that level, ended up killing 23 librarians with a knife.

You know, I didn't realize that dog could make false copies of itself to confuse me. I also didn't think that a shotgun loaded with slugs may have been a poor choice until I had my throat torn out.

EDIT: Oh, yeah, I was drunk, too. Wading through radioactive water and drinking a bottle of vodka right before a fight is a bad idea.

Sometimes this game is just unforgiving...
Got one-shot by an enemy using an attack that hits ALL party members.  One a single person out of the four survived(but that's beside the point since it was game over cause I died)
