[Akura]

Took a girl out for a nice date. As I'm driving her to a place to eat, she leans out of the car window and starts shooting at some gang members with a TEC-9.


Her antics quickly got us surrounded by cops, rival gang members, and our car destroyed.

GTA: San Andreas

[itisnotlogical]

I tried to do the new long jump to quickly get behind a guard on the ground. I missed and landed in front of him. By the time I had turned to face the right way so I could begin to fight him, I had already attracted two other guards and didn't feel like continuing.

Tenchu 2. The view distance is a little bit larger, but still abysmally short. And the levels are larger and more open, meaning more opportunities to get spotted by enemies that you yourself cannot see! Yaaaay.....

[Rolan7]

I arrive at the capital city of the snakepeople, myself a snakeperson.  I am following a lead that a certain snakeperson, angry at the elves, basically opened a gate to the plane of fuck.

They promise to tell me more, but first I must defend the capital from the imperial humans who are invading.  They already have the coast, and they're pressing on the capital...

I agree, and pay some extra dosh to field an extra-large retinue in the fight.  I arrive and...  huh.  I'm in an empty square in the middle of the map.  Defensible, but there's nothing here.  Oh... building is allowed.  I didn't bring builders.

My hero (heroes can build, though barely) rushes to set up a base, but the Ssrathi builder units don't come from the initial building.  By the time I have an economy started, waves of imperials (and orcs, what the fuuuck?) have overrun me.
RIP snakepeople - oh except the campaign mode allows failures, and even updates the journal with specific messages which marginally explain the failures away!

The Ssrathi will rise again, yesss
(and did, in my next attempt.  The retinue fees were sunk, but the Mayan-expy snakepeople gave me a suitable reward)

Warlords Battlecry 3
This game isn't remotely balanced, but it's a fun RPG RTS.  Campaign is surprisingly interesting.  Doesn't make you hold territory like Dawn of War or Dune 2000, but you can manage relations with the dozen other factions.  If they like you enough, your hero can lead a different faction into battle.

My snehk is a merchant, meaning I can spend points to get discounts.  A universally useful skill in a RTS.  I hope to make many allies, yesssss.

Assuming you didn't somehow save all the ammunition from the starting sequence (seriously, you get hundreds of handgun bullets on the way to the police station), there's only enough ammunition for one, maybe two trips around all the rooms on the first floor. After that you're kinda screwed, like I am, because I haven't found whatever item or switch I need to progress. WALKTHROUGH TIME!

Resident Evil 2. It's... actually much better than I remember, weirdly enough.

You actually have to go up to the second floor, from the stairs next to the dark room save point.

EDIT: Spent about an hour playing, building up my empire, expanding a lot. I go to save. Accidentally load, undoing EVERYTHING I just did.

Galactic Civilizations II. I think there's still an autosave, though.

Yeah, there is an autosave.  In my largest and longest game I configured it to go every single turn.

I saw my first Muskoid.

Etrian Odyssey 4.

Welcome to Petrification Hell.

[itisnotlogical]

I was about ten seconds into the sewer section, not counting cutscenes. I climbed up a ladder and some flying insect things that I couldn't see killed me.

[Akura]

Tried to rob a bank with a girl. Things go down south fast, and 3 minutes later we're speeding off on police motorcycles.

After dealing with most of the pursuit, two more police cars show up front. Catalina rams one, flips over about 15 feet in the air, lands upside-down, and apparently breaks her spine on impact.

Seriously, what the hell does it take to find a nice, not-bloodthirsty-bitch kind of girl in this town?

GTA: San Andreas. Goddamn, Catalina is as psycho now as she was in GTA3.

[Rolan7]

The rift was before me, disgorging wet, mewling things made of darkness.  There were too sigils, too, the... the circle, and the hook?  Maybe?
Having run out of ammo long ago, I smacked aside a strange insect and charged into the glowing light.  As I spoke the shapes, arcane energies healed my wounds...  But my mind ached.  And the light was still so bright.
Desperate, I shouted again into the bright darkness.  Again wrong.  The veil of sanity was leaving me.  I kept shouting, knowing only that I was doomed...
And the light and creatures were gone.  I giggled.  Had they ever been?  Had I ever been?  I moonwalked into the darkness, and my final rest.

The Consuming Shadow
I expected to die when I ran out of sanity, but instead I was slain while awkwardly blundering my way out of the graveyard.
Only my second run, this wasn't even close to the end.

She's supposed to run a scripted animation there where she vaults off the bike to safety, and you're expected to kill the cops shooting at her, then find a car. If you've got the frame limiter off, that might be causing the issue.

[Akura]

Nah, I think I ran her over with my bike. Um, accidentally.

Or rammed her bike, causing it to hit her. Also accidentally.

[hector13]

Playing the [Extreme] Metallica Archaea mission. Played it a number of times with the sneaking suit before figuring out that I should be using the battle dress.

Results were immediate, surviving long enough to take down 3 of the 4 members of the Skulls Unit before being killed by the stupid exploding rock thing of the last one.

They also ruined my streak of getting S-ranks in the later missions

Sadly, my roguish dual-shield-wielding kickboxing warlock finally fell. While battling the 9th floor monster zoo, she got chased into a corner by poison gas clouds, which then filled the corner as monsters kept coming to trap her. She tried her best but perished :<
At least she's my second-highest score.
