Playing L4D with a friend and two NPCs. We decide that it is best to take out the witch before turning on the generator, since accidentally startling her while fighting the horde would be a bad thing. I hop on the chaingun to hopefully take her out quickly, then he startles her from halfway across the map with the sniper rifle.

The instant she aggros him, a hunter pounces on my back. NPC!Louis decides that the best way to get the hunter off is to throw a molotov at me.

Did they throw grenades in one?  They don't even try in two.

I don't ever remember them throwing grenades in 1, either. Mods?

You know what, this has inspired me to share a very old death.

So I'm playing with the L4D2 weirdos that just play No Mercy, the first level of the first L4D, over and over again.  We're playing on a fairly high difficulty and can't beat the rooftop finale.  One try, the situation is descending.  I'm badly wounded, not quite limping at minimum speed but still moving slowly.  We're defending a raised platform.  One guy gets a face full of jockey, he's pulled off the platform.  I jump off after him.  Meanwhile, someone who cannot see the situation except for our outlines decides to help, and what results is the worst molotov throw I have ever seen.

The jockey is dragging my buddy down a narrow "hallway", wall on one side, open air on the other.  He's got a good lead but I'm shooting after him.  The molotov lands right in between us, hitting no one. But suddenly the intervening space is filled with a sea of fire, I can't even see the jockey clearly.  Jockey rounds corner, there's no way I'm going to be able to cross the flames without being downed.  Never has a few feet felt so long as when I'm seriously considering limping through it while on fire.

Somebody threw a Molotov, or maybe there was a propane tank nearby. It couldn't have been the other real player, he was KO'd by the Witch.

Decided to attack a landed UFO. Nighttime, but if I waited it would be gone. OK, it is a type I haven't seen yet. Turns air those are smugglers, and they have better nightvision, better weapons and stealth and are tough. Only 8 of the gals make out back to the Bonaventura. The saddest thing is that of the 9 that were down only one was dead, the others were all unconscious, most of them already stabilised.

Not all of me, but epic-seeming enough I feel the need to describe it.

So XCOM, Long War. One of my soldiers gets critically hit and wounded. When they recover, I had unlocked MEC suits so figured they'd be the first MEC soldier (I like to only turn critically wounded soldiers into MECs in general for RP reasons).

Right after I finish them, before I have the gene mods I usually use for this mission, Newfoundland happens. Normally I get an Assault with a Shotgun and the gene mod to jump over things and just have them leg-it to the transponder and back. They can ignore obstacles and generally outrun the Chrysallids there and back. Laser Shotguns and Close Combat speciality are ideal. Didn't have any of those. Did, however, have a MEC trooper. Close enough.

So the MEC managed to leg it to the Whale, taking the occasional damage along the way but still alive (punting a Chrysallid along the way). Managed to just get to the transponder and activate it as the troops back at the Skyranger hold off Chrysallids, hoping. And then the MEC trooper is overwhelmed and killed, and the troops are forced to retreat without him.

He came back for one last mission, and sacrificed himself so that his comrades might survive. Most human of us all, the man in that machine.

8 out of 17 for XCOM is basically perfect.

100-50% survivors:  Are you sure they didn't just go to applebees and lie about the UFO?
50-25% survivors:  Great job, A+
25-2% survivors:  Pretty good, you're getting better
1% survivors:  Consider it advanced training for the one survivor.
No survivors:  In business this is called "downsizing"

But, when you are downsizing you also loose your ship, and that would have been fatal.

I think I know which one you mean, and yeah. That mission just shouldn't exist.

The 24 Hours challenge. You have 24 hours on easymode and then uberhard zombies kick in and always know where you are. I know at the time that they would just find me, so I stockpiled food, drink, amusement, booze, pills, clothes and medical supplies. I didn't find any firearm or good weapons, and the best I got is a shovel. On the 13-hour mark I return home and sleep for 8 hours. An hour before the death mode starts, I eat to full and hide in the starter house that I covered the windows, and barricaded three doors in. I wait up, and hear a lot zombie noise outside. Then suddenly, I can hear the bastards whacking on my doors from my room on the second floor. Knowing it was the time to die, I eat a pack of painkiller pills, and gob down a package of calming medicine. I drink all my booze (2xbottle of white wine, a bottle of red wine, and 1/2 of a bottle of whiskey), make a molotov, open the door to my room, throw it, and die the deat hof a warrior. I caught on fire, and the twenty-ish zombies that came in were lit with my corpse. I killed 11 before dying, but I think those were mostly from before kill-mode happened. Then suddenly, my hous caught on fire. My corpse turned into ashes, and those monsters dying in the purifying flames were the best thing I watched in there. They tried to escape but to no avail. They almost all died, and my house was a wreck. My trusty shovel (and the rest of my inventory) was all that remained of my earthly possesions.

There are only two sure things in life: death and taxes and lists and poor arithmetic and overlong jokes and poor memory and probably a few more things.

I was proceeding nicely in the cultists' tower. Towards the end Terra learned Ultima, allowing her to curb-stomp everything. When I encountered the boss i thought "Well I can now dualcast Ultima. This should be easy."
Well, I was right. I did kill the boss. But when he died he unleashed a final spell (an Ultima, funnily enough) which killed everyone.
Should've used reraise.

Plenty of strategies for that one.
