Man, those things used to be on paper.  Not just cheap paper, but smooth, shiny, thick paper.  Having one of those made you cool.  I remember both the pokemons one an the FFVIII one like it was last century . . .

I remember, I brought the Pokemons to Massachusetts   I was the literal first one in Springfield to own a game, deck, and book.

Oh hey, Nosferatu sound like the type of character I would like to play. Fairly sneaky and good at lockpicking/hacking.

Why does everyone want to kill/run from me?

Oh right; I'm so hideous that not being seen is a literal law.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

[Tawa]

You mean you didn't bring along something capable of sleep or paralysis the first time? O_o

Heheheh-- when I go catch legendaries, I decide "Hey, let's go catch eldritch gods from the beginning of time!" and go get the absolute necessities and a False Swiper.

That usually works out fine, although, admittedly, I did catch my Deoxys, when my Swampert's Ice Beam accidentally froze it... I remember catching Lugia back in Gen IV with a Sceptile who had False Swipe, Energy Ball, Dragon Pulse, and GrassWhistle. Good times. Damned Pokémon Bank clogging up my elf smuggling industries.

I'm lost in Quake 2. I need to deactivate yellow force fields (the fifth color of force field in this bloody level). I got the security pass and the fields are still up.

I need to deactivate a communication laser in the Upper Palace. I found the only thing that looks remotely like a communication laser, and it's in the Upper Palace area, but I apparently can't just blow it up because nothing happens when I shoot it a bunch.

Why do I keep playing this game?

Quake 2.


Fallout crashed. I'm assuming it was because I was doing too good against the Deathclaw and might have actually beaten it.

Fallout 1.

Because it's great! You're almost there. ^_^

I'm trying to kill all the Blades in the Boneyard. There's this one Blades ganger with a sledgehammer who seems to have infinite AP. He can use two stimpacks in a row, walk 7 tiles towards me, and still have enough energy to hit me up to 4 times with the hammer. He killed me many, many times in a row.

I finally managed to kill him...

And then the game crashed to desktop.

I know exactly what you are talking about. It's a goddamn pain to go through but then there's a door in the Upper Palace that's to the right of the entrance I think? I know I went there and I was like Oooooh. Alternatively, scour the whole of downstairs.

I hope it helps a little.

Garuba Daora massacred me with his million AoE one-hit-kills.

Monster Hunter Frontier G6

[Akura]

Just bought the game, doing the tutorial. As my entire fleet is in the AI homeworld, wrecking their stuff, I see a message that my homeworld, one the tutorial said was secure, was under attack. I save the game(forgetting once again that the game does not pause in the save menu), thinking I should be able to deal with it with save-scumming if necessary. Less than one second after saving, I get a game-over message.

Mistimed a jump, mistimed a jump, mistimed a jump, mistimed a jump, eaten by t-rex, mistimed a jump, mistimed a jump, mistimed a jump...

I found the force field control, I just forgot where the door was. But good luck finding out how to deactivate the laser; you have to stand in the spot where you got the data spinner until a hidden door reveals itself. That's pretty obscure for a game like Quake 2.

The Makron was a pretty lame way to end the game, I feel. Quake 1 remains my favorite single-player id title by a long shot, but Quake 2 was playable. It wasn't awful or anything, it just didn't make me feel one way or the other at any point.

Was a farmer. Wandering around peacefully after butchering an anthill with my trusty KNIFE SPEAR. Find a statue. Kick the statue, because that's how science works.

You have incurred the wrath of the Squirrel King!

The fuck. Alright, what's going to hapen. The lag means it'll be something scary. This character is screwed.

...

Game stops responding. The Squirrel King crashed the game. That's a bit of a meta consequence for booting a rock. A Google search for the above quote turns up some weird Youtube video about royal breastfeeding and something from Ecclesiastes.

It is useless, it is all useless, it is like chasing the wind

Yeah, I feel you. Third successful character in a row lost through non-ingame means. Sigh.

That sounds about right. The Makron is pretty much a very weak endboss, especially so if you kept the Invincibility and Quad Damage reserved. It's a little more entertaining if you don't use them and have it on Nightmare Mode.
I'd play Quake 1 but it has to have an appealing feeling for me to actually go ahead. Personally I prefer Quakes II and Arena because I grew up on them. I remember playing the first two levels when I was about seven, so the nostalgia is pretty strong for me.

Merry Christmas.

Fake edit: it's been so long since I've played Age of Wonders 2 that I forgot that I really shouldn't have tried to turtle in the first few cities I claimed for the fire mini-campaign. Whoops. On the bright side. My blood made for quite a nice paintjob on the tower.

I got booted from a dungeon and locked out of entering a dungeon again for about a half-an-hour.

I was called away from the computer to do a short chore. It only took about two minutes. I told this to the group. I figured it wouldn't matter anyways, since the tank was new to their role and the dungeon, and was so hopelessly lost that they found their way back to the very beginning of the dungeon. Somehow.

When I came back I found myself kicked out of the dungeon, with one of the other players having filled my chatbox with curses, which were leveled at me. Same person was being a jerkass the entire dungeon, being an ass to the tank for being new and generally trying to make the tank's job harder than it normally is.
