Decided to drop my bedroll in a bar, only temporary until I could dig a hole somewhere to live. Found something better, just a few houses away from the bar I stumbled upon a shack hiding a bomb shelter. Took most of a night, and a couple dozen stone axes, but I was finally able to break in. Good thing I waited until dawn before making the final breach into the shelter, there were more zombies than I anticipated. Place is cleared out of zombies, and the aboveground area is a nice fenced-in spot where I can plant crops. On Day 2.

7 Days to Die. Also, holy shit I'm not kidding about it taking a couple dozen axes to open up. I had to break two metal floors(just to crouch under) with 3000HP each, and the main door was two stages of 2500HP. For the floor pieces and the first stage of the door, I could do at most 10HP of damage with an axe(50-quality, I just started), less once stamina or the axe's durability got low. I could do 11 per hit on the second part of the door. I'm actually surprised all the smashing didn't spawn a screamer.

To say that I was 'on the ropes' was an understatement. My deck was designed to generate value over time, usually by getting extra value on top of my creatures. This is a solid strategy... until my opponent resolves a terrifying Elder Dragon. Flying means it bypasses most of my deck (and even without flying, the trample would ensure I couldn't use recursive chump blockers to hold it off), indestructible means almost nothing I've got can actually kill it, double strike and 4 power means I've got nothing that can block it and live, and vigilance means I can't race him after he attacks. All things considered, an absolutely nasty creature. When he then topdecked a Seal Away to answer my Verdant Force (and in a way that I couldn't remedy with any of my graveyard interaction), I felt that my last hope to win had been ripped away.

But if I can make two statements about this game, they'd be "play to your outs" and "always give your opponent a chance to mess up". My opponent had played several early-game critters to stall out the board, but most of them had been spent to deflect my swarm. And now, with me at 12 health, my opponent opted to, instead of swinging with his indestructible dinosaur, to instead attack with everything.

Which turned out to be a mistake when I promptly sacrificed most of my board to kill off everything except Zetalpa, survived the attack at 2 health, and then immediately resolved The Eldest Reborn on my turn. If he still had his silly little 2/2s lying around, he could've sacced one of them, and I didn't have enough turns left to draw removal for all his little guys nor enough mana to remove all of them and play the saga. But since he'd foolishly and willingly hurled them into the jaws of death, he was forced to sacrifice his dinosaur. Sadly he conceded in shame before I had the chance to _reanimate_ his dinosaur.

Magic Arena

[Akura]

Survived the 7th night, with 24-hour cycles set to 90 minutes.

Started with a bomb-shelter shack, which has a (mostly) scrap-metal fence surrounding a central courtyard. Due to a previous zombie breach, I replaced the entire fence with a flagstone wall. Tried to upgrade it to cobblestone, but I didn't have anywhere near enough time to get enough materials. The shack walls were reinforced up to metal-reinforced wood, and doors upgraded to metal v3(highest you can go without steel), as were the hatches leading to the bunker below. The walls were surrounded by a trench of log spikes, originally intended to be able to trap zombies with an outer wall lip that can climbed on from the outside of the spike trench. The idea was, zombies would get shredded in the trench.

That idea fell apart immediately. The zombies all rushed to the front door. Even with me trying to futilely repair it, I couldn't keep them from breaking through. By then, though, I had thinned their numbers out enough. Rather than retreat to the underground bunker, as I cannot yet craft concrete to repair it(also, I'd be trapped), I retreated up the walls, where I spent the rest of the night waiting for zombies to climb up the ladder, whereupon I conked them on the head with a spiked club. Went out to the trench in the morning to loot the dead and dispose of the corpses with an axe.

7 Days to Die. Certainly got some ideas on how to rebuild the shack, that's for sure.

I beat the eight mavericks while only dying about 50 times.  I even rescued like half of the reploids and got 5 of the 8 armor parts in the process.  I consider this a serious achievement.

Next weekend I should be able to finish the game and never look back.

Mega Man X6

I drew a frigging perfect left curly brace. This is the first time in years that I've been able to make one of those that isn't a complete disgrace. I'm almost loathe to submit the assignment it was for. I'll just have to settle for photocopying it for posterity.

Real life. Now if only the matching right curly brace didn't look like a particularly malformed three...

[MCreeper]

Beaten Light Black Gates mission aka most lame, stupid and underwhelming mission in the entire game.

Battle for middle earth

[Arx]

This is probably less me owning, and more my team sucking, but getting top damage or near it two games in a row with Ash is hilarious. The only champion with worse weapon DPS than her is Fernando, and he has a really good damage ability and passive to compensate for it.

Paladins.

Fernando

Just get me that chimp, Fernando, because if you do...

... there'll be another case of filthy drug money for you

[Dunamisdeos]

I need to go back and play MGS3 now. Gonna do it.

[Akura]

Helped take out a nigh-invulnerable Orbital Strike base near The Ascent. It was situated in a crater so that a single shield dome made it nearly impossible to enter, but it apparently ran out of fuel so it went down.

Came back to The Ascent, found that it was cut off from the network and 2 minutes until capture by the NC. Helped completely recapture it, though it never did get re-linked. Held for the entirety of an Aerial Anomaly event that had hovered right in front of the base. The capper to all of this was me charging up a hill towards an NC Heavy Assault and Medic duo, getting on their side. In the panic, the Heavy shot the Medic who was the only thing keeping him alive.

Fallout New Vegas

The world is "free"? A laughable superstition!

[Greiger]

Completed the iron marches jumping challenge for the daily today (yesterday?) in one try.  Didn't miss a single jump, and the character size changing shenanigans didn't mess with me one bit. 

It was taking so long for my friends to do it that I logged on to another character and got to the challenge itself from the adjacent zone (turns out the 2nd character didn't have the nearby waypoint unlocked so I had to hoof it there from the adjacent zone) and one shot it AGAIN on a second character before either of the friends I was doing the daily with completed it even once.

They told me it's no wonder I'm looking forward to the notoriously hard mad king's tower jumping challenge coming back this Halloween.  I want to repeatedly beat it with superhuman precision jumping skills and laugh at their pathetic failure.

Guild Wars 2

[AzyWng]

No. The saga has not concluded.

And yet it has not survived either. It is but a puppet of corporations that wish to line their pockets.

Leave the saga behind. Move on to other games. Look back upon your experiences here with fondness... for that is all you can do now.

[Rolan7]

And yet it has not survived either.

Ohh, I get it now.
Metal Gear Revengeance was really good though!
