Since when was Black Mesa released? It was the Half Life 2 of mods for as long as I can remember.

Previous Friday, and only partially. Xen is still in the works.

[Markus]

Beat my way through Red's fort in Teufort using only a fish, took the intel, and got back to our intel room. By myself. Even killed a heavy medic combo.

Then went on a saxton hale server as CBS and didn't even lose 2000 hp to a team of 23.

Team Fortress 2, first a normal CTF then VS Saxton Hale mod.

[Wrex]

I have an artifact. Most people don't even know they exist. But I have one. A sword of great Eldrich power wrested from the very bowels of hell. It -may- be slowly possessing me, as evidenced by most of my stats being drained 9Except for strength, which is growing)  and a constant desire to wield only that weapon, but who cares?

Cataclysm

Left the spinner on my first mission, flying my little Haiho mining mecha - slightly modified to be lighter. My mission is a simple one, fly out and kill an enemy and then fly back. But I get intercepted on the way by an Aegis patrol. So there I am in my little Haiho facing off against a custom Chimentero, a Chameleon, and several BuruBurus.

I fly full speed, hoping for my stunt driver talent and 6 piloting skill to keep me alive. I fire my mining laser, and miss. I close in a bit. Their return fire mostly misses, but the Chimentero scores a nasty hit and blows off a leg. The Chimentero is out front, having just blown off my leg with some rockets and probably getting ready to blast me apart with whatever other big guns it was carrying. I throw my rocket hammer at it. Torso hit, pilot killed, Chimentero disabled.

Most of the rest of the battle involved me jousting the rest of the mecha, firing my mining laser and hammering them with my rocket hammer when I got close. I took a bit of a beating and lost the arm with the mining laser and most of my armor, but the rocket hammer is taking them apart pretty well and eventually it's down to just me and the Chameleon. I close in with it, and right before I'm in range to use the rocket hammer it hits me hard and blows off my other arm and damages my torso even more. The armor on my leg is mostly stripped away and the leg itself is damaged enough to be showing yellow, my torso armor is completely stripped and the torso is showing red. Another hit in either spot is a death sentence, and I just lost my only weapon. The Chameleon is directly in front of me, but still a few tiles distance away.

I keep flying full speed, and the Chameleon begins to turn last minute. I get stopped right in front of it, and I attack with the only thing left - the leg. I just make a regular attack, knowing that attempting to aim would probably just make me miss. Luck has me connect with the head, destroying it and giving the Chameleon a significant penalty due to not having sensors. Now it's flying away from me, and I turn to try and close.

I then chased it around for a good 5 minutes just getting close enough, kick at it, then chase it for a while longer until finally getting close for another kick. I luckily managed to avoid all of its shots, helped by its lack of a head and my flying full speed with stunt driver, and eventually managed to take it out solely by kicking it repeatedly.

After battle, I salvaged the Chimentero since it was disabled, and it doesn't even have much damage. I use it to go and finish my mission, easily blasting the BuruBuru I was faced with to oblivion.

So there I was, as a brand new character, with a high end custom Chimentero worth about 2.5 million. As a comparison, my lowly Haiho is only worth about 240 thousand.


Plus the mental image of a leg flying around dragging a mangled torso with it (my flight jets were in the legs, torso was just being pulled) and kicking at the enemy Mecha every time it got close is pretty funny.

I assume you are talking about GearHead or GearHead 2?

Thanks for reminding me about this games. I was very interested in them years ago, but never really got into. Time to try again.

As for owning: I reached apoapsis for the first time in Kerbal Space Program few days ago. 1,739,000km or something like that. It might not sound much, but it felt good. Plus I did not use any time warp, so it was a flight of solid 1h and 15min IRL time.

[Akura]

Took control of a Caracas TV station for the rebels. It was guarded by three mobile weapons, which are: about 6 times the size of a normal wanzer unit(they take 4 tiles each), have 3 types of weapons(missiles, powerful machine gun, and a cannon, giving all three attack types), infinite ammo, and one of them was piloted by an incredibly insane not-Russian chick. (picture of one)

And I had to escort a tank driven by a suicidal teenager carrying the dictator of Venezuala.


My support team of five guerillas were completely wiped out by just four enemies(one of them was a repairer, though, and none of the guerillas could heal). They did, however, kill one of them(their sniper) and buy just enough time for me to kill all three mobile weapons. By the time I did that, the rest of my force was beat up, low on ammo, and just barely managed to do it before the suicide tank arrived. The following fight with those enemies was won only because the focused their fire solely on that tank and nothing else, and I could repair it quicker than they could damage it.


And in a previous battle, had to take on one of these.

Front Mission 4.

[Errol]

So, you'd think that a climatic boss battle against two plot-critical characters where you get an advance warning by the game and that has its own theme music would be hard, right?

Well, uh... except that if you bind the head of the magician, and the arms of the warrior, a battle that could have become a real nightmare with your stats shot to hell and your party unable to fight back suddenly becomes a cakewalk. Which is kind of a shame, as I probably won't get to fight this battle again to see how they were supposed to dismantle me.

And my Hexer, responsible for most of that, was underleveled and had her bind-inflicting skills at Rank 1, of 10.

Etrian Odyssey, B21F

[Karnewarrior]

Walked through several in-game miles of enemy territory without losing a single creature.

Of course the enemy had consolidated his demonic horde in his castle but eh, I yoinked his fort for about a week and drained some of his money to use in fighting of the worlds most annoying orcs.

Heroes VI

[612DwarfAvenue]

Wow. This has got to be the first time i've gotten someone to ragequit in any game.

I'm Protoss, he's Terran. I send a couple of Probes out early to find his base since it was 1v1 on a 4-player map. I find it, hide the Probe that found it in a little corner of his base where he can't see and warp in a Pylon. Warp in Forge at my base, once that's done i start warping Photon Cannons right into his base leapfrog-style. He had nothing to counter with, and he promptly ragequit.

Let that be a lesson. You see an enemy worker scouting your base, especially a Probe, you kill it or chase it off ASAP, else you'll end up with Photon Cannons or Warpgate drops right in your base. I've been a victim of the latter several times.


Starcraft 2.

[Shook]

FTL. Trying my first game of it, admittedly on Easy (well hey, i was just starting out), but still. Armed only with my starting Kestrel, i proceed to blast every pirate and rebel in my path to pieces/submission (all but one were allowed to surrender and flee if they requested it), make my way to the Last Stand and destroy the rebel flagship with my health being in the yellow from the start of the fight.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I then subsequently lost because the flagship, in its second form, got too close to the federation base. Probably would have died anyways, my hull was in the red after the first fight, and it jumped right to a rebel-occupied beacon.

Still, not bad for a first time, if you ask me. Hopefully i can replicate that on Normal. :U

[Slayerhero90]

First roll to dodge.
Made it to 5 pages.

Alright this happened earlier today. Planetside 2, first time getting down and playing since the update and character wipe. I had decided to spend 5 Cert Points on the Advanced Mobile Spawn for the Sunderer earlier, so when we got a bunch of guys from the outfit, I was designated as the driver of the APC. We decided to call it the Magic School Bus. For nearly two hours we kept this vehicle alive, capturing bases all the way north onto the opposite end of the map, actually reaching the warp gates for the Terrans. At one point we had to deploy our spawner in a bad spot near The Crown, and were constantly harassed by Vanu tanks, but between all of the random people using us as their spawn point, and the Dual Coaxal 20mm Cannons ontop, we were able to just barely stop any tank trying to kill us and ovverran one of the most grindtastic defensive positions in the entire game. It finally ended when we ran into several Liberators who carpet-bombed us back to the stone age.

[Kaiserr]

I'm Protoss, he's Terran.

Of course.

[Facekillz058]

I farmed plants and demon posessed silver statues in a dark forest in an attempt to make my sword shoot rainbows and lollypops.

Several squad mates saying "rocket launchers arent the best anti-infantry weapon..."

I proved them wrong.

Planetside 2

[Akura]

Blew up a giant spider tank that came from the ocean, piloted by the a crazy chick who was somehow still alive despite being blown up last time. And nearly a dozen other guys supporting it. While defending a transport plane.

Nearly lost it, too. Exactly one shot away from losing the transport(couldn't repair it), I get one very lucky attack that took out the weapon of the guy who would have done it. After that, just beat the crap out of everyone who was left.

Front Mission 4, final battle. Ending was pretty funny, the Durandal gives an initiation to a new recruit, with Elsa saying "Welcome to the group" before shooting him in the face. The only thing that doesn't make sense is how Ivanova made it from a burning wreckage in Caracas, to emergency plastic surgery, to a giant spider tank in about an hour and a half.
