I awoke from a wretched nightmare.

...

~Project: Gorgon

What drugs is this game on?!

[Cyroth]

Not exactly a traditional "own", but I think it fits. Probably as an own for the playerbase itself or something.

We won a really close match on Numbani as attackers (we were in overtime, actually), quickplay matchmaker has derped again and we're playing as 6 randoms against a 5-man premade + random.
In the victory screen one of my teammates, who was the only one refusing to use the voice chat and who was out of position for pretty much 90% of the match, complained with something to the effect of "wow, we won despite out horrible healer" (just not as friendly), at which point some of my teammates and the entire enemy premade tore into him.

I ended up getting the healer card with 15k heals / healed 46% of incoming damage and 10 upvotes (only my 3rd legendary card in 2 years of playing, and my 2nd as Mercy) and 8 or so commends.

It was a very weird feeling.

Overwatch

I awoke from a wretched nightmare.

...

~Project: Gorgon

What drugs is this game on?!

A lot of them.
I remember being a pig in some earlier beta, and one of my friends was a spider.
Complete with unique skills and builds.

There is also cows, ravens (I think? If I don't remeber it wrong) and rabbits.


Been thinking of installing it again ever since it launched on steam, maybe I'll do it one day. It is pretty awesome despite the barebones graphics and grindy gameplay.

Somehow, in a single life I scored three MAX kills; granted, all three were badly damaged/just revived, but they were shredding the zerg going up the stairs to the capture point at Cobalt Communications, that was also fortified with hardlight barriers, engineer turrets, and more MAXes. I went up the other stairs. Entirely unguarded.

In the same life, got into a tank, shot down two Scythes, forced back to Cobalt Geological Survey, got repaired, accidentally ran over the guy who repaired me(sorry! also, they weren't showing up on minimap at all for some reason), then was forced to abandon my tank as it was nearly literally run over by a massive VS armor rush. Even then, I killed an infiltrator who was trying to snipe me, failed to plant an AT mine in the backseat of a Harasser, then watched as that same AT mine crippled a Magrider, after which I killed its driver. Then I got headshot by a Halberd rocket.

Still, we won the alert shortly after that.

Planetside 2.

[Dunamisdeos]

I just got the Shoryuken in Mega Man X2. OG version, so no save states or whatnot.

[Telgin]

Easily the most difficult super upgrade to get in any of the Mega Man X games.

It makes one shotting Agile very gratifying, if you can make it past the blasted mechaniloids before the boss room without getting hit.

[Dunamisdeos]

Well I had sub-tanks, so yeah, Agile got yuken'd for shor.

It did take around 5 tries, which is super low IME. Also, I got the heart tank on OVERDRIVE OSTRICH's stage on the very first go. I felt like Jet Li or something.

[Robsoie]

After a difficult time, finally got the upper hand on the AI, but his last turn Galactic Survey development card provided him with a boost of points in the endgame scoring.
Fortunately i had fetched the Greatest Military goal first that had ensured i was still ahead in the final score.

Nice after the AI had defeated me several games in a row

Finally beat the high dragun and finished the gungeon. It was a work of many, many, many playthroughs, but I finally got a combo OP enough to allow me to survive and win it all.
Not only that, but I beat the high dragun without taking a *single* hit.

I forgot to take a screenshot of my endgame screen to properly document it, but my combo consisted of the following. The Scrambler (a single clip size gun which has 120 ammo breaks up into 5 homing bullets on hitting something), the Bullet time active item (which significantly slows time when used), and a Blue Goun stone (which orbits you and blocks some bullets and slows time whenever you are hit).

Now, that doesn't sound impressive, but that isn't mentioning the synergy: Having bullet time and Blue Goun Stone gives you the Bluer Goun Stone ability, which means you are immune to damage while reloading. With most weapons this is a pretty decent buff that can be exploited quite a bit to allow you to dodge much better and that can very well be the difference between life and death.
However with a single shot weapon that spends 90% of the time reloading and has the ammo to last you through the entire boss fight? Its crazy OP and is enough to turn a fight that would otherwise mulch you into a relative cakewalk.

Enter the Gungeon

[Akura]

Not sure if it was intuition or what, but I found the Smash room in stage 6-5. These rooms contain various goodies, in particular the Smash Bros. ability. I didn't even know these rooms existed until this morning I looked up the location of the rare sticker for 5-2(that one was bugging me). 6-5's Smash room was way off the main path, and the entrance only looks like an entrance if you already know it's an entrance. Still, somehow I went right for it.

Kirby: Planet Robobot. 6-5's Smash room also contained the rare sticker that I was replaying the level to find in the first place. It's Susie's sticker as well! ...Kinda guessed that since I already had the rare sticker next to it, which was Pres. Haltmann(spoiler:her father). Not actually sure if the sticker collection is required for 100%, but I've done literally everything else except get perfect scores for the 3D Rumble minigame.

EDIT: Killed the Goblin King in two hits. Fat bastard is vulnerable to stealth, like everything else. Never knew I was there.

Regions of Ruin. Probably would have got him in one but I assume my weapon hit at the lower end of its very wide damage range. By the end of the game, stealth is insane. The amount of damage modifiers you can get are insane. The weapon I was using? Base damage range is 1-200. Most hits are in the 20000-60000 range, and more than once I hit over 200k. I think I hit for almost a million at one point.

For stealth, you can gain various bonuses from level-ups and books that make you harder to spot, get spotted slower, and dash while stealthed.

[EnigmaticHat]

I made a new friend.

Enter the Breach.  Turns out giant alien spiders are no joke after all.

[Flying Carcass]

So my Mirai Conjecture had 3 counters, allowing me to copy any instant or sorcery spell I cast during my turn.

I cast Doublecast to copy my next instant or sorcery spell, which in turn flipped my Primal Amulet to turn it into Primal Wellspring. Because of Mirai Conjecture's effect, Doublecast was in turn doubled.

Primal Wellspring's effect allowed me to again double my next instant or sorcery spell, which was a kicked Fight With Fire for 10 damage.

The FWF was then copied a bunch of times, though the game ended midway while the stack was still resolving since I had reduced my opponent to 0 after two applications of the FWF. I'm not quite sure how many times the spell would've been copied total since I'm not sure if the copies would have counted as "cast" spells or not... I suspect probably not so if I interpret the rules correctly it would've been a total of 5 FWF effects for 50 damage.

Magic the Gathering Arena

[Egan_BW]

This is the Magic equivalent of filling your hand with cards, then playing a Fiendfire and cackling madly as both the enemy and your own deck catch on fire and burn to cinders?

[SOLDIER First]

A little more like DOROH! MONSTAH CADOH! if you ask me.

[Draignean]

Multiple stack echo form into sunder would be a closer analogy than Fiendfire.

[AzyWng]

On the final map of "A Tale of Two Brothers", I kind of messed up. I tried to get Arvith to land the killing blow on the final boss (as much as a turn-based strategy game can have a final boss - it was the commander, who was an advanced unit), only for him to miss most of his attacks.

Arvith's brother, Baran, was up next - though he landed three of his four fireball blasts, the boss was still standing.

I noticed one thing, however.

Aside from my allied units (which I think act after the enemy's turn, so they'd have been no help killing the boss sooner), I did have one footpad right next to the final boss, ready to attack.

I killed the final boss of the campaign with a fucking sling. And, of course, the footpad got promoted to... whatever they promote to.

Baran and Arvith split up, but rebuilding the village is going well, and while life isn't easy by any means, it's good nonetheless.

The End.
