I completed The Consuming Shadow with the best ending I've achieved yet, "Tainted Victory". I also got a ton of achievements on that run and unlocked the remaining secret characters.

I guessed half of the banishment ritual and spent almost the entire run at 0 sanity.

The Consuming Shadow: Insanity Edition.

[SOLDIER First]

Managed to get through Portent on classical difficulty with only 3/4 casualties!
I hate Portent now. I'm not used to classical-difficulty thinmen (for me, they used to be easier than sectoids, now they're COVER-IGNORER HUNTERS OF DOOOOOOM that I usually can't kill in one shot. Portent was something like my third or fourth mission this play through, and has already made me re-consider my self-imposed ironman stance. Instead I'm going with "savescumming to win council missions because fuck that"
The map itself doesn't help either. It's extremely hard (I wasn't even able to do it through all my tries) to position your entire squad to be able to fire at the first pod with activating something like 4 thin men at once. Thin men who enjoy murdering your squad without mercy.

Buut I did it! Finally! It only took 1 hour!

XCOM: Enemy Within.

That's the first Slingshot Pack mission, right? That one is hell. Throwing more than five times your squad size at you in Thin Mints isn't enough; no, they have to artificially increase the difficulty too.

[crazysheep]

No, Portent is the EW-specific mission where you first encounter EXALT.

[SOLDIER First]

Oh, yeah. I got confused because of the lack of mentioning EXALT anywhere.

Strange, I've always found it pretty easy (though I play long war, so the extra people help a fair bit). Just stick a person or two on top of every building and laugh at every thin man that drops. Worst case scenario just bust out a grenade or two, and continue laughing, with good enough positioning/people on top of the roofs you can potentially never have to suffer from a single shot by thin men once you actually reach the guy you need to escort/kidnap since you always either kill them instantly or on the first shot while they are standing there coverless.

Reaction shots with good accuracy are your friend here >_> <.<
(As someone who did the hardest difficulty + Ironman on XCOM and died trying at the end because of one tiny mistake can say .-.)
Flashbangs are also your friend, as well as well-armored folks to 'run in and attract fire'.
But also knowing where they drop is a good note. I just left snipers behind to 'cover the way' and they easily took care of those thin men.

I won a match of Blood Bowl.

Normally, this would not be an ownage, except:

• It was my first multiplayer match. I'd played the singleplayer campaign and watched lots of Twitch matches, but this was my first online encounter.
• My opponent was playing Chaos.
• Not just that, my opponent was playing kill Chaos with a TV roughly 2 times higher than mine. 

I induced a Wizard... who, on turn 3, landed a Fireball on 7 targets, knocking only one down; a complete waste of money. I induced a master chef... who stole exactly one reroll each half, a very mediocre result. And I induced Morg n' Thorg... who basically won the match, preventing Chaos from overrunning me for most of the game (as well as KOing his Minotaur). That, and a couple 3+ rolls let me score in my opponent's half, and while I was halted three tiles short of the end-zone during the second half I nonetheless kept him from controlling the ball until turn 15, at which point he was too far from my endzone to score.

Best of all? While I only had 3 players standing in the end (Claw did its job), most of the injuries were only Badly Hurt. Besides one niggled lineman and an ogre that'll miss a game, my team is intact. And the blitzer who got MVP also completed the one pass, so he leveled up. All in all, a pretty satisfying result!

Blood Bowl II

[Aedel]

Launch an inkstrike, splat someone. Jump off a ledge behind another squid. Splat the kid. Turn a corner, splat another kid who tries to squid away. Get hit by an inkzooka after taking out three of the enemy squids, only for that kid to get splatted by an ally.

Spoiler: Totally legit run, I swear on me mum's soul (click to show/hide)

Probably the luckiest run I've experienced in any roguelike ever. RIP Ancients.

Also, helpful tip:

The game still counts being drugged as "sane", even if you have 0 base sanity. That's the only reason I got the best ending.

[miauw62]

Jumped up to C after seeing that somebody else had blown up all but one sentry there. The only remaining sentry couldn't hit me because there was a pillar between us.
Also, there were three engineers standing on C. What followed was something akin to a martial arts movie, as the engineers approached me one by one and I panned every single one of them to death. The last one even tried to hit me with frontier justice crits after seeing his brethern fall to my frying utensil, but failed to land any of his shots before my piece of cast iron justice caved in his skull.
Note that I had to keep solid wall between me and the sentry at all times to avoid being torn to shreds.

Team Fortress 2, cp_gravelpit, playing demoman with BASE Jumper (later Ali Baba Wee Booties to let me chase people more effectively), Sticky Jumper and, of course, the Frying Pan

[Teneb]

Finished my placement maches for ranked played. Ended up at rank 10 (out of.. 40? 50?). Pretty good, if I may say so. Feeling nice.

Heroes of the Storm

[IcyTea31]

Won today's third Sortie mission.

20 rounds of Defense against ridiculously high-level Infested over an hour. I was playing Nyx, a crowd control 'frame. The other three on my team were two Frosts (defense/crowd control) and an Excalibur (balanced/offensive). Now, since three of us were mostly good at holding the not-using-the-Z-words in place, and only one had a good damage power, the plan was obvious: we support the Excalibur and let him use Exalted Blade to kill Infested slowed by Snow Globes and infighting due to Chaos.

In the end, the Excalibur had about 1200 kills, almost all of them from Exalted Blade. Meanwhile, I somehow racked up over 300 kills just from gunplay, more than the Frosts added together.

Warframe.

Just fought (and defeated) Mega Satan for the first time. I had three knives (two of them homing), two different kinds of shields, an attack fly, a boomerang, and some other stuff. Finished the battle with just two hearts left ._.
