[Svarte Troner]

This was a pretty epic Darkest Hour playthrough. Playing as Russia, I reinstated the Romanov dynasty and managed to quell all dissent without another civil war occurring. I was biding my time, building up industry and easily annexing the two central asian countries no one cares about (Alash Orda? and Turkistan or whatever). I annexed the Don Cossacks next and pushed into Turkey. I now controlled the Caucasus and central asia while having a bunch of puppet states in the Levant and former Ottoman territories. This shot my belligerence up a fuckload, but I still managed to ally with Germany.

Japan invaded Ungern-Sternberg's Mongolia and gave some border provinces to me, this opened up the trans-siberian railway (boost to industry). Finally the syndicalists declared war on my ally Germany. They managed to make it to the gates of Berlin, and I thought they'd push all the way to Moscow... which was pretty much wide open as I had a half of my army in the Balkans or central asia. At this point, I pulled my battle hardened balkan troops up through syndicalist held Austria and fought my way through Bavaria. My troops were arriving on the front lines in Berlin to aid the Germans when I linked the Bavarian/Austrian front to the north German front. It was a brutal fight but we managed to push the syndies back to the pre-war border. From here, syndicalist forces crumbled and we marched through France into anarchist Spain.

Planetside 2
During a rare occasion where I was at The Crown defending it. I spotted a VS Sundy under the nearby bridge where they were all spawning at. Going Engie I slid down the side of the mountain right uder the thing. Droping two Tankmines right under it. I died in the explosion but so did 10 VS and their Sundy. Did it later to TR but only got 5 kills and the Sundy. Got away and did a "Cool Guys dont Look at Explosions" which caused a few Outfit members watching crack into laughter and "Holy shit your Insane" statements...

Played TF2 for a few hours today, its been a while, I just got asked to do some HL scrimming with some people and I  thought id practice, got an average kpd of 3 as engi, *cracks knuckles* yeah, I still got it.

My handler informed me of a CIA listening post that I could infiltrate and spy on to gain intel. However, she added that I would have to get in and out without killing anyone or being spotted, and frankly she didn't think I could handle that.

Challenge Accepted.

In and out in ten minutes. No alerts, no injuries, not even tranq darts. Even the scary sonofabitch I met later was impressed.

Oh god, I remember that mission. At the very end, just as you're leaving, there's one last CIA agent that pops up from the basement.

He 'sees' me, and my reflexive invisibility kicks in. I proceed to calmly line up my pistol and drop him with a tranq headshot before I decloak. Possibly the most awesome moment I had in that game.

[Smashness]

I embark in an evil mountain with a few war gorillas I modded to be available upon embark.

My Mason goes to build a Mason's Workshop and is interrupted by a zombie swan man. Luckily, he had his own gorilla guardian that proceeded to tear apart the zombie.

I wandered into the wrong tile and find myself engaged in a double battle with two Electric specialists. My lead was a Soft Sand/Earthquake Graveller.

I won the battle without taking a single hit... from the other team. In the process, however, I KO'd 3 of my own mons from Earthquake splash damage. A pity I'd left my flier behind...

I haven't been able to find that ANYWHERE. It seems like it's sold out here.

Also, someone with Levitate evades Earthquake too, I think the Gengar family can have it. The Weezing family can too.

[Vorthon]

I successfully raided Fort Independence with nothing more than a Silenced 10mm Pistol, a Talon Combat Helmet, a Merc Cruiser outfit, and a few stealthboys. Fuck yeah sneak attack criticals.

Oh, trust me, I know. I've also played Diamond, and dear lord: whoever came up with the design of Bronzor deserves to be shot, in part because of Levitate. For the non-Pokemon players, or people who haven't played Gen IV, let me sum up Bronzor for you: imagine a Zubat made even more annoying.

Zubat has access to Supersonic, which has a 55% chance of inflicting confusion. Bronzor has access to Confuse Ray (100% chance of inflicting confusion) and Hypnosis (which, in D/P only, was upgraded to 70% chance to inflict sleep). So, Bronzor has considerably stronger status conditions.

Zubat has access to pretty terrible attacks, like Leech Life (Bug attack typing is pretty terrible, coupled with a pathetically weak base power and no STAB). Bronzor has access to Extrasensory, an 80-power Psychic attack, with STAB. Yeouch.


But it's the defensive typing that really makes Bronzor a bitch. Zubat is weak to numerous common attacks (psychic, rock, electric, and ice). Bronzor, however, is Psychic/Steel, giving it exactly two weaknesses: Ground and Fire.
Oh, except Bronzor has two possible abilities. Levitate gives it immunity to Ground; Heatproof gives resistance to Fire.

That's right: any given Bronzor has only one weakness, and you don't know which weakness it has until you start attacking. Never mind that, after that first attack, you're either asleep or confused. And then, finally, you kill the damn thing, only to have another pop up 5 steps later. 

[JWNoctis]

But thankfully Bronzor is not all that common outside a few places, and by the time you see them you'd probably already have a good level superiority.

A relatively high-powered normal-efficiency move like Surf or Spark is usually enough for wilds and the occasional trainer.

[Reudh]

Even worse in Gen V, the omnipresent Roggenrola/Boldore is rock type, quite a good one defensively... but not only that, it has Sturdy.

That's right, Sturdy. In gen III-IV, all this did was prevent OHKO attacks like Fissure or Sheer Cold or Guillotine from working. In Gen V, this also functions like a focus sash (no matter how powerful the attack, will always hold on if hit from full hp, EG; a 100/101 hp mon with Sturdy would get knocked out, a 101/101 hp mon with Sturdy would survive with one HP.)

Boldore and Roggenrola CANNOT be knocked out in one hit. This is horrifying if you don't carry a water or fighting type through the early game; though the saving grace is that you can run away easily due to their low speed.

[Mr Space Cat]

Wait, you mean you guys don't just run away from most wild 'mon encounters? You mean you actually fight each random zubat/bronzor/roggenrola? Ew.

the only times I fight random wild 'mons is when I'm looking to catch one or it's early game and I need to train up my party. Otherwise I just grind through every trainer I see and usually my team is consistently leveled enough to take on the Elite 4 without more grinding...except for the most recent gen. I've found myself needing to grind audinos during my playthrough. It was painful.

As for ownage, I had a group of ten or so dreadnoughts, both the common and hellfire varieties, steamrolling through the pansy space-elves eldar. All my squads of marines hardly saw a battle, the dreadnoughts just tore through the eldar army too fast. I'm thinking of replaying the mission and using nuthin' but dreadnoughts. I luv me some giant robots.

Warhammer 40k Dawn of War Gold Edition, 'twas the first campaign mission you encounter the eldar in.
