@miauw:Summon Bigger Scalelord?

Was there a feedback loop then?

http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=394565

YES. And surprisingly, the card is not legendary (thus preventing the loop), and there is no errata (which would prevent the loop). The Rulings text even SUPPORTS this loop. O.o At least it's "may" add another counter, so it's not locking you into the feedback loop. Still, awesome.

Still dies to removal

No.  Noooooo.  Wizards why?  You made a card that can have an infinite power/toughness combo with itself.

Well, turns out the solution to "git gud" was a new controller, and restarting from the beginning as a Deprived class. Just beat The Lost Sinner; I did summon Lucatiel for the fight, but that's mostly because I want to do her questline and she has to help fight 3 bosses in order to get her equipment. Other than that... no, it's been pretty straightfoward. Dogs have been fairly easy to kill now that I figured out how to two-hand a left-gripped weapon. No controller problems so far, only a few dumb deaths here and there. Went into the Belfry Luna without realizing that once you go in, you can't leave; two invaders showed up in short order. Killed one, died to the other (they had a sliver of HP left, too!). Sure, I died in the encounter, but the fact that I managed to kill one was rather nice.

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin (since apparently it adds a lot of stuff that makes it harder)

I was going through the first time with the same version and thinking the same things, but just wait there is some tedious and annoying areas coming up. Most of the bosses stay not really difficult (Smelter Demon gave me a lot of trouble but apparently I was supposed to put points into adaptability which I didn't do) but there are some pain in the ass regular enemies and encounters.

Defeat Octomammoth in Final Fantasy IV. It was one hell of a fight. And it was only the first boss

You poor soul. You haven't even seen the first Golbez fight yet.

I hope for Jwilliams' sake he hasn't got FF4DS.

Sounds like somebody finally got gud

But seriously, I'm in the same boat as you, I am playing Scholar of the First Sin even though I never played the normal game. It can be really cheap sometimes. I never had any problem hitting the dogs, for me the huge thing that irritates me has always been the unnecessary number of enemies, but it was still nothing that git gud couldn't fix.

TL;DR Because DS2 is hard, you will not like her, but the more you hate her the more you will git gud.

Repaired the royal family, got an end-game weapon and some end-game armor, and foiled an attempted regicide.  All in a day's work, messing with time travel.

Chrono Trigger DS

[Akura]

Took me an entire day, but I managed to cram a 16-and-a-half foot* magma god into a 3-inch diameter ball.

Pokemon Omega Ruby. I almost screwed the one that caught it up, since Mega Blaziken botched the initial attack, and Mightyena couldn't make much of a dent in Groudon's HP. Gardevoir managed to weaken it and when she herself only had 12HP left, Groudon stayed in the ball.

*Height for Primal Groudon, which you fight. Normal Groudon is 11'06". Still smaller than I expected.

Perhaps a minor ownage, but in a random dive hole in the middle of the ocean, I picked up Giratina's Grisseus Orb.

Not my own, but incredibly badass nonetheless.  A civilian was shot at by a

and not only did the shot miss, but they managed to survive the entire mission!

Xcom 2

[Sirus]

Through careful cheesing of enemy AI and gratuitous use of trebuchets, my large but somewhat weak army was able to recapture one of my cities from the nearly-as-large, and far more powerful, enemy army that had come charging out of the fog of war in the previous turn. Highlights include killing an obsidian dragon with concentrated siege engine fire and the pestering (and eventual death) of two powerful infantry units with obscene regeneration abilities.
My army wasn't exactly in the best of shape after that battle, but the loss of so many high-tier units was probably one of the things that lead to that particular enemy kingdom's downfall.

Age of Wonders III

[Akura]

Managed to capture the entire Mind Trio in one day. I was surprised that Azelf was the easiest to catch(only 3 balls used), despite the fact that it was only one whose attacks Nuzleaf couldn't nopesoap entirely(as it knew Uproar). Snagged Cobalion while waiting for Azelf to appear as well, and Ho-Oh shortly after nailing Mesprit.

Pokemon Omega Ruby. Been going on a legendary-catching spree before taking on the Elite Four. Haven't gotten the Regis, though, and looking up Regigas it's still a flying pain in the ass to get.

EDIT: Managed to kill a thresher maw. EDI's report when returning to Tuchanka later was priceless: "In addition, killing the thresher maw has resulted in several breeding requests for Grunt. And one for Shepard."

Mass Effect 2.

[itisnotlogical]

I killed what must have been... ten or so Super Mutants (at least three of which were Brutes) outside of the Washington Monument. I think you were supposed to use the Stealth Boys from the Museum of Technology to sneak past them without a fight. However, I was thirsty for blood and loaded down with tons of ammo, so I took them on.

I ended up using ten frag grenades, six Stimpaks, most of my food and a number of landmines, as well as completely draining all of my 5.56mm ammo. On the other hand, strolling straight up to the monument over a field of broken mutant bodies was an experience worth having.

Dawn Of War: Soulstorm. And Dark Crusade, actually-I'm playing both and went after the Angry Green British People first on both.

[jaxy15]

I defeated Hush, Satan, The Lamb and Mega Satan in the same run with Keeper. Didn't even need the Swallowed Penny trinket because my attacks were constantly spawning an insane amount of coins to keep me alive.

There were plenty of lasers, that's for certain.

You know what, I don't think I died once in the entire playthrough. Came very close, but not died.

Bioshock Infinite. Done with the main game, at least. Haven't played the DLC.
