My IRC-bot turned against me and stabbed me in the face.

I have to agree with Darvi here- since you're not litterally dead, that stroy needs more context to explain in what way it "stabbed" you and/or what you were playing in that channel.
Show me where the Darvbot touched you

The tank drivers in OFP:CWC seem to have their own ideas about what things like "forward" and "fast" mean. Even though I was jamming on the "forward, fast" command key, the AI driver just sat there with the engine idling as a Russian anti-tank soldier casually took aim and blew us up with one direct hit.

After upgrading the game to Cold War Assault, I found to my annoyance that my profile got deleted and my saved progress was lost. As I was skipping through missions to get back to my place, I noticed that using the level cheat gave you a score of 0. After cheating past so many missions, my score was so low that I got court-martialed. I don't think this is even possible in regular gameplay, because getting a failing score usually means you died or failed in such a way that you can't advance to the next mission.

So I decide I'll make this char a werewolf.  She was origonally planned to be a stealth archer, but since I had played a char like that in skyrim before I figured I'd mix it up.  Besides, wolf gives her an option for when the OP stealth arrow misses.

After informing a friend of my plans he insisted I download a werewolf mod.  Because apperantly vanilla skyrim's werewolf system blows.  I grudgingly download the mod, and go to a bandit fort to try it out.

First bandit gets wrecked.  My char apparently jumped on the poor chump and ripped his throat out.  Nice.  I charge towards one of his buddies....  and get one shot by a crossbow bolt....

I tried to werewolf my way through that fort 3 more times, adjusting my plan each time, but still getting wrecked seconds after I eat the poor front gate guard's face.

If this is AFTER the mod makes werewolves more useful, what shape were skyrim werewolves in BEFORE the mod?

Crossbows are super strong, also basically werewolves in vanilla had no armor rating, and only lasted 60 seconds and could only be used once per day. I assume you're using Moonlight Tales, which gives werewolf form an inherent armor rating, and while the form lasts on average 60 seconds, it can be boosted every time you feed.

If I recall correctly, it was a problem with scaling.  The wolf form didn't scale well with your level, because you couldn't wear armor while in it.  I believe the werewolf mod adds more skills for the werewolf?  I know the dawnguard expansion has werewolf perks as well, but I don't have it.  Should help, put some points into the skill tree.

Me being impatient, I hired a merc to help me oust Kevin from his home outside New Serino. I gave the merc my extra pistol and some ammo and headed out. I went through the dialogue tree with Kevin hoping that I could intimate him out. It threw me into combat with the guy, and I thought I would be alright since it's two guys with pistols versus one guy with what looked like a mosin or something.

It was an assault rifle, and the dice hate me. About 6 shots, all doing roughly 15-25 damage, hit me. My 160 health + leather jacket did nothing.

>_>

I hired that meatshield merc for a reason...

Was enjoying myself blasting apart smugglers in a lawless zone and taking their cargo when a crazy fighter craft rams me from above, instantly destroying my Cobra Mk.III.

So, follow some Bradleys into hostile territory. You need to follow in the perilously open jeep, when there is no reason you couldn't be riding in the Bradleys at least a little bit of the way. Oh, and there's machine gunners hiding behind every piece of brush. Every last one. Have fun driving the jeep, lieutenant!  :D

Does me dying of laughter count?

I was playing Medieval II: Total War, and I was attacking a rebel town with a new general. I decide to listen to his pre-battle speech, expecting the usual comments about how killing the rebels would be a blessing because it would get them away from the shrill whores they call wives, stuff like that.

Instead, the general launches into a clearly-not-at-all-prepared speech in which he forgets his lines, rambles about the weather and the food, and at one point realizes that yes, he's going into battle and it might not be a very nice experience. His soldiers clearly don't know what the fuck is going on, since they don't cheer once during the speech.
(spoiler alert: we win anyway)




Okay...actual death (or close enough, anyway). The Pope calls a crusade on Cairo, and I, being a good Catholic English King, decide to send my faction leader and a large army by ship. They draw closer and closer until, two turns away from landing in Egypt, the faction leader dies of supposedly-natural causes. This causes EVERY. SINGLE. UNIT in his army to desert on the next turn (despite still being on ships, and no I have no idea how they got away), which means I lost thousands of florins worth of soldiers and mercenaries, not to mention my faction leader, for absolutely no gain whatsoever. We never even freaking landed in Egypt.

Need one more Alatreon tail for my lance, so I cut off his tail, carved it and allowed him to violently murder me so the quest would end.

And I ended up carving yet another azure dragongem from his tail, like I did the last time I fought him.
What does the desire sensor want from me?
