Now visiting some oldies on Gameboy Advance:

Just rolled credits with Karen on year 2 summer. Not too bad for a first playthrough methinks.

And 19 hour 36 minutes of Pokémon Emerald on a comfortable pace. The AI was just too vulnerable against any sort of setup.

EDIT: Tasty grammar.

I've done Sapphire up to the end of the pokemon league in 10.

Not if you do a lot of optional stuff like the Dex and the likes, and Emerald's plot was also longer by quite a bit.

Could shorten it to 14-15 should I push it a bit, as lots of time was spent backtracking to fill the dex or the ashbag or something...Finding a Ralts with good stats alone took me around 2 hours before the first gym.

A helicopter came down to airdrop us in over the enemy radio tower. I had some explosives on me so I came along as the "payload", and my combat effectiveness was not the best at a landing, as I had a semi-automatic rifle.
As we approached the dropsite, the helicopter came under AA fire. The pilot helpfully pointed out that he couldn't get very low because he'd have to move away quickly, but that we should jump. We did indeed, and quickly dove away from the helicopter, which was under considerable fire by now. I think he got away.
Anyways, most of the people around me opened their parachutes. Big mistake. The AA gun turned on them, and they were all dead. Only me and some other guy had the sense to stay in freefall until we were lower (I think the helicopter was flying about 400, so quite high), and deployed parachutes at just below 100 to stay harder to detect. I don't THINK the AA guns could see us freefalling inbetween the corpses and smoke, and by the time we deployed chutes we were almost certainly too low to be seen for very far.
Immediately upon landing we ran to the tower and blew it up. We died afterwards, but still.

SO COOL.

In Nation Red there is an achievement for maintaining a >=50% accuracy rating for 5 minutes in a game. I had tried it several times, even managing to keep it at 100% for three minutes, but failed every time. Eventually I just thought "Screw it, I'm going for a high score again." I grabbed an AA-12 and a minigun and opened up on the zombies (two inaccurate weapons). Five minutes into the game I get the achievement.

Hooray!

I can never get anything resembling a reasonable time in that game. Mostly because I've lost the patience to play it without 5x speed.

Sniped grunts, brutes, hunters and Elites from a single spot on the map. I was aiming for the grunt's faces 'cause I had Grunt Birthday Party on.

Saw a bandit fort next to a mountain, and I decided to invade from the top.  I climbed up the mountain and jumped over to the top of a tower.  Turns out the bandit leader was right there!  I managed to beat him up, so I raised his corpse from the dead as a zombie.  Zombie-Bandit then ran around and murdered every other bandit in the fort as I struggled to keep up with him and loot the corpses he left behind.

Pyromancer with flame gloves he found on the first level. And a magma orb, a flame sword, and 2 rings that gave 4 fire resis/damage each. I only had 16 fire damage and 20 res.

I took a force of 42 mixed rabble and mercenaries against a force of 36 Swadian knights and a noble. In the end everyone but me and the noble lay dead or unconscious. I manage to get in a good position on his left flank and eventually beat him down.

The end result? 30 surviving but wounded rabble, 36 dead knights, 1 captured noble.

I've only been playing mount and blade for a day and that seems like quite an accomplishment.

It is if you're really just using random recruits (rabble). I've managed fights with no casualties in 1-on-1 odds multiple times, but then again I've always had like 50 Vaegir Guards in those fights.

And a balanced heavy lance on horseback. Lances are just overkill.

Put myself into DF as the Militia Commander. Got a small scale steel mill set up, as I have iron, flux, and a shitload of trees. Eventually, my dorf mooded. What did he make?

 After spending a whole night walking on broken roads and fighting giant insects, I stumble upon a burning town named Nipton just as the sun rises. A man rushes up to me and exclaims "I WON THE LOTTERY, CANT YOU JUST SMELL IT IN THE AIR?". He spoke like a madman, and I could only assume he burnt down the town and his "lottery" was the rush he felt. I gunned him down. I examined his body for evidence and found an actual lottery ticket(and a pair a reading glasses, which I took 'cause I need some fucking glasses). I shook my head and explore the town. The first thing I encounter is a very polite young man(Not many young people call you the fucking Grim Reaper) confined to a chair. He politely informed me of the towns situation: A group called "Caesers Legion" and started wrecking shit. He also informed me about a group of townies that were captured. Before I left to refill on supplies, I met with the band of vandals. The leader of the vandals(some stoned dipshit in a sweet dog hat) claimed they were cleansing the town of sin and unworthiness, and demanded I inform the world of his atrocities. He then proceeded to turn his back on me. His last mistake

I calmly stepped away and opened fire with my grenade launcher.

Two of their Mongrels(some type of war dog on steroids) died in the initial blast. After, a brief gunfight: I annihilated the whole group, took their shit,donned the Dog Hat, and headed back to Goodsprings with a phat sack of loot.

After ambushing around 7 of the enemy I purchased a mech suit and proceeded to pin down the enemy team in one corner while my team easily captured the flag 3 times unopposed.

sorry for missing it.

In DayZ...

Guy comes up stairs in an apartment building. Friend and him have a shoot out, can't get there in time. Friend dies, I back way up into a room (one entrance). Guy comes, back turned to me and does that lame repeated squat thing on my friend's body.

Revolver...BAM BAM BAM BAM...guy falls (but not dead)...BAM BAM BAM BAM...BAM BAM BAM...guy is definitely dead. Pwned him. Saved my friends stuff too.
