Playing some TF2 on my favorite server. Conditions were right for some sniper practice. I spend some time moving about and picking a few people off. Gotta keep moving so they don't pin me down. In this map, even most of the regulars don't know the whole layout. Hardly anyone even remembers the underground tunnel even exists. So I use my superior knowledge of the terrain and ambushing to make up for my admittedly mediocre aim. Eventually, someone rolls a medic and pockets me. His Overdose combined with my Darwin's Danger Shield made me all but unkillable to enemy snipers, giving me nearly free reign to just keep picking people off. I felt safe enough that I could stay in one spot and focus more on shooting instead of running away. Occasionally, a few of them would get close enough to threaten us. At this point, we would go melee and clean them up. Even the scouts could not escape both of us. It was glorious. At one point we were dominating 4-5 of them simultaneously. And the only time we died as a pair was when a spy jumped us. He never got a second chance. I am very grateful he had the patience to pocket me.

That sounds pretty awesome  ;D.
Hope you don't mind if I ask, what was the map?
The server name is [xG] Pokemon Trade Cener - Xenogamers.org

It runs the Goldenrod City map. Be warned, the server tends to have a bit of hit lag.

Playing Silent Storm. One of the missions in the beginning has your team surrounded by soldiers in the lobby of a mansion.

This is how you typically start the fight. Lots of bullets shot, all soldiers dead, some broken windows and railings, etc. Lots of death, minimal destruction.

This... was how I accidentally started it recently. The two Mauser pistol rounds missing from L.A.'s clip were the only two bullets fired. One of them misfired into the floor. And apparently hit the mansion's fuel store in the basement.

The soldier lying on the floor of the basement was the only casualty. Nobody else was so much as scratched. Way to start a fight.

Tusk's Walrus Punch + Phantom Assassin's Phantom Strike + Earthshaker's Enchant Totem = thousands of damage with just one hit. People died.

I just finished Dark Souls for the first time.

I rented that game. I played it rather a lot and only just got the first bell in the first part done before going "Naaah... maybe some other time".

I do recall the boss just before the bell being a bit of a pattern recognition thing. Then after spending about 45 minutes going through the same shit just getting to the boss, knowing you're probably going to be killed anyway, you know it enough to do well against it; the game lulling you into that false sense of security before BAM! Another one which shoots fire comes out of fackin' nowhere. I had to put the controller down and make a sandwich after that.

Tough game, kudos to you.

That's not owning, it's combat logging, and it's possibly one of the most irritating things you can do, and in fact bannable in several games for just that reason.

What's more irritating is a guy respawning a bunch of times with full health and you don't have a chance to regain health, and he can finally exploit the fast respawning enough to drop you.

Plus he was gonna quit anyway because he wanted off the console and on the computer.

I don't think you can really get anything when you kill people in the lobby anyways. I think they may drop some of their money, but in my experience (admittedly I think I was only level 20 something last I played) that's not really a great deal of benefit relative to the cost of everything in the game.

And yeah, bad sport points. He was quite clearly hunting a lower level player, which in itself is cowardly and verging on trolling. It might be fun, but it's still a dickhead move.

Just know that the side quests in Freeside are especially heartwarming in my opinion :)

Stalking DMC Guards at night with NV and a shotgun is the most awesome thing ever. My character is officially nocturnal now.

It's the Soviet Union vs Italy and I'm finally making steady progress. Don't mess with the Red Army, cazzo.
