8 straight kills  across 2-3 games as gunner, almost winning the matches single-handedly, cementing my status as an ace shot. We even sang shanties as we destroyed stuff!

"The helpless orc wizard fails to defend itself."
"You open the orc wizard like a pillowcase!!!"
"You kill the orc wizard!"

"Trog appreciates your killing of a magic user."

Ha, sweet vengeance! Suck it orcs!

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup

sneak attacks are fun, and opening a sleeping orc wizard like a pillowcase is just so satisfying.

[Xotes]

I'm being hounded by a very angry Ukranian pilot in an attack helicopter, and my three RPGs have only served to piss him off even more. I'm forced to sneak across the countryside, darting from trees to rocks and other pieces of cover as he searches for me. Eventually I find my way to a wrecked gas station with three soldiers lying in wait, as yet unaware of my presence.

A short distance away is their jeep.

Yes.

I make a break across exposed ground for the jeep, jump in as the soldiers open fire on me, and take off down the road as fast as I can with the chopper giving chase, its rockets exploding behind me. I swerve past a pair of troops on the road, narrowly avoiding one's RPG that would have certainly blown me to hell, and I just about think I've made it when I turn too hard and my jeep flips on its side and slides a good fifty meters. I think I'm screwed until then the jeep miraculously rights itself mid-slide, but I then proceed to swerve into a rock as I try to regain control. The resulting explosion launches me out of the wrecked car, and I'm bleeding heavily and badly wounded. Thankfully, the chopper seems to have lost me for now, giving me time to bandage myself and heal the worst of my injuries before I run for cover.

The tunnel to safety is only two-hundred meters away, but it's going to be a hell of a run. I sprint for it, and the helicopter catches sight of me near the end. I flee into the tunnel as bullets and rockets impotently crash around me, and find myself in the relative safety of the Cordon.

Sidorovich calls me to give congratulations on my survival, and I take a moment to catch my breath.

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, with the Old Storyline Restoration Mod.

[Parsely]

Four infantrymen are escorting a Hind attack chopper. I'm at the edge of the jungle so the chopper can't move in to take me down, and so is reduced to firing HE rockets blindly into the trees in an effort to drive me out. I've fought here before so its a simple matter to avoid them whenever they're launched. The chopper pilot (who is also the commander) orders his men to flush me out. I sneak up behind the lot of them as soon as they enter the trees and tell them to freeze. Caught by surprise, they put their hands on their heads and lie down flat. I hook balloons to their waists and a friendly helicopter picks them all up in a high speed flyby. The chopper unloads more men, and I repeat the process until eventually the commander is so frustrated he opens the cockpit and starts throwing grenades. I shoot him five times in the head with my tranquilliser pistol and knock him out. The chopper lolls slightly and gently loses altitude, settling to the ground in a perfect landing. I pull the pilot out and attach a balloon to him, then to myself.

Using only a pistol and a bunch of balloons, I captured 21 men and an attack helicopter, with no injuries to either the soldiers or the vehicle, without anyone seeing me, in under 500 seconds.

MISSION. FUCKING. ACCOMPLISHED.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Got 21 decent soldiers (I fired nearly all of them) and a free attack helicopter! Pretty solid take. And in 5 minutes too!

Draugr Wight Deathlord? Psh. Dualcast Lightning bolt + Impact. Fight is over.

Meteor Swarm Deflected.

Good job, you deflected it, but you deflected it to Mars. We're never going to be able to terraform Mars now.

I'm not sure if this is "own" but I'm giddy anyway. I just unlocked the Crystal Cruiser in FTL without cheating in FTL. Took me a few days of dedicated stealth ship runs, but having the full fleet was worth it. 4 more achievements and I'll have every ship's alternate config too... For the "own" story I offer this:

Normal mode Zoltan cruiser. I've picked up new crew by mid-game, a human captain and two mantis marines, so I buy a crew teleporter and upgrade the medbay. Mantis crew levels up to yellow in melee. Dies to a teleporter malfunction in sector 4 (it was shot up before I could recall). Next sector: Mantis Homeworlds. First encounter: Dread Pirate Killikizburulithiazarazimatazz. I have no boarding crew, so I'm forced to pick off the enemy crew with conventional weapons, and manage to whittle them down to 2 crewmen, with the ship itself at 1 HP left. I then managed to Ion Blast the ships shields AND O2 GENERATOR for the next 3 minutes or so until the air ran out on the ship. It was still piloted with the engines intact and I never missed a shot. Not bad for a single Ion Blast 2. When the last enemy crew fell, the notorious pirate was recovered via our teleporter and saved from the brink of death by the upgraded medbay. He pledged his ship, and loot to my cause, then became the leader of my second-generation boarding squad, which filled out at a full 4. We tore through every sector on the way to the Rebel flagship, and overwhelming man(tis)power combined with a very expensive piracy-funded array of burst lasers downed the flagship for my first and only Zoltan win. As a boarding ship.

Cloak and Dagger has taken my ability to play as the Spy class from 'Zero' to 'Somewhat'. Sapped a level 3 sentry and then backstabbed the four players guarding it, an engi, heavy with a Huolong Heater, a demoman and a pyro.

Tonight, Wolfeyez and I: Defeated Skeletron and cleared the dungeon of its riches, conquered three floating islands, defeated a goblin invasion, defeated the Eater of Worlds, mined a meteorite, and got boatloads of cool shit in the process. Oh, and we rescued the goblin tinkerer and the mechanic in the dungeon.

I have 15 hours of play on FTL, and the Crystal and 2 other ships 

[Darkmere]

-snip-

My friend hates me for getting the crystal cruiser. He's played over twice as long as I have, and it took me about 40 hours in all to get it.

So many steps that are luck-based.

You can alleviate it somewhat by taking the stealth ship for advanced scanners. Only visit sectors/beacons that can spawn the events you need and quit the game after sector 1 if you can't finish the quest. I had actually gotten everything to line up completely at random before that on a Zoltan achievement run (which meant my ship was crippled and un-viable to finish. Destroyed by about 12 bad rolls in a row... 3 jumps from the quest beacon in rock homeworlds. That's why I went all-in farming the quest with the stealth ship).

[Sirus]

On my side: two units of war elephants.
On the enemy side: an entire army of axemen.
Between the two: a bridge over a river.

Once the elephants charged, the term "lawnmower" came to mind. Trapped on the narrow bridge, the axemen had no way to avoid the stampeding pachyderms and were hurled into the air by the dozens. The ground was literally carpeted with corpses as I chased the army away. I only lost two elephants, while the other army lost well over two thousand men.

Rome: Total War. I even saved a replay so I can watch it whenever I want.

[Sirus]

Well, the river *did* get a little choked up with corpses...
