Finally beat Atom Zombie Smasher despite owning it for a few years. Artillery and snipers are awesome.

Of note: Level 4 infections are significantly easier then level 3 infections to beat due to the fact that there are no civilians to protect.
Level 3 infections are also much larger threats bizarrely. Level 4 infections have already done their spreading, but level 3 ones will be triggered by any nearby level 4 getting created or a level 1 being added on top.
Also, if you *can* clear a level 3 territory you can get over 1000 points compared to the measly 100 you get from a level 4. Due to this despite the game saying that you want to use the cannon to clear a level 4, you really want to use it to clear a level 3. (Unless you really need the scientists).
Getting a new territory (instead of having it turn into a dead territory) is also very important, far more important then the number of civilians you can get out.

Atom Zombie Smasher, duh.

[Akura]

Playing as the Spartans. Before now, the only war I had was when Yang demanded some high-level tech I got from an artifact and I refused. He begged for a Blood Truce the second I landed my first troops.

Miriam, however, tried to extort a ludicrous amount of Energy from me(400, which I only had at the time due to a Solar Flare). Think about that, Miriam is trying extort money from the faction centered around kicking people in the face. Hell, the Spartan morning wakeup drill starts with kicking drones in the face right out of bed. I land some troops at The Rapture, a coastal base roughly in the center of her empire. I also nab one of the nearby ocean bases.

Almost immediately, Miraim starts pounding The Rapture with Laser Artillery and those xenofungus artillery things. Then she started blasting the farms and other infrastructure surrounding the base, resulting in some starvation loss. Then she sent a Probe Team to infect the place with a virus. That's right, she just bombarded her own people, then starved thousands of them to death, then used biological weapons on them. At this point, I decide that peace is impossible and her people would be a hell of a lot safer being conquered and occupied. Even so, she's trying to bribe me for peace with just 25 EC(remember, she tried to extort 400).

Oh, and they never retook The Rapture. Instead, my troops, armed with Chaos weapons(very high level tech, thanks to artifacts mostly), held out against dozens of bombardments per turn, and eventually I produced cheap infantry that was able to hold off direct attacks without taking a scratch. Even if they could take out a single defender, I could produce another quick enough to stop any further attack. The distraction provided by the soldiers occupying The Rapture allowed me to slip more troops and attack from the south. The war is still going on, but Miriam has lost all of the bases south of The Rapture, and she's clearly spending far to much in support for all that artillery that she's economically paralyzed.

Payday 2.

Got in a group with friends, and we just went full overkill non-stealth levels. Every corner we turned had a bulldozer and an army of shields. Every time we stopped for a single second a cloaker appeared. At one time, I placed a tripmine under a vent. Less than a second later a cloaker pops out. Bulldozers often came in waves of 3. We still won anyway, and I got from 52 to 58 in one heist.

Group ownage:
I was flying around with my day-old Romulan character and his brand-new Warbird when the call to defend against a Borg incursion came in. Wanting to do something nutty, I accepted at once. I've tried this event multiple times with my older, more powerful Star Fleet character to no success.
This time however, I got lucky. Many of the other players were clearly more advanced than I was, and all of us together obliterated probe, sphere, and cube after cube. When the massive Borg Flagship showed up, we fell upon it as one and destroyed it in about five minutes. Very exciting battle.

Star Trek Online

[Reudh]

Managed to finally recruit Priam.

He's probably one of the toughest units to recruit outside of DLC units - he has Axebreaker, Lancebreaker and Swordbreaker, as well as Sol and Luna, two VERY useful attacking units.

This basically means even engaging Priam in melee AT ALL is very risky indeed - you lose 50% accuracy if you're using ANY melee weapon due to his three Breaker skills, plus he can heal off any damage you manage to hit with Sol, and deal hefty damage back using Luna.

Not to mention, the grand majority of his army, who number 50 to your 30, are all VERY high leveled, high statted enemies of varied classes, most of which have their leading stat in the early 40s (to put this in comparison, My Unit/Robin is maxed out at 46 str, with mid 30s in other stats).

Really the only way I could do this was flee from his advancing field, hire some Streetpass units that I could afford to lose, and use them as frontline fighters. (Because hell, a PC that i recruited on the train had ASTRA and GALEFORCE.) Pairing up weaker units (read: anything with <80 HP) with the stronger ones (Morgan, My Unit, Panne, Flavia, Yarne and Aversa were by far the best ones here. Emmeryn also managed pretty well, despite only having 68 HP.)

I didn't lose a single of my core army, though I lost two recruited PCs, "King Turtle", a Hero with 58 HP and maxed out skill, "Cienroth", a Sorceror who was far too weak at 48 HP but hit decently with Mire from afar. A third recruited PC came within a hair's breadth of defeat, at 1/80 HP and managing to dodge a shot that had an 87% chance to hit.

All in all, it was an intense and greatly fun map to play.

Fire Emblem Awakening: Paralogue 23, "The Radiant Hero".

[Samio]

While not in a "game" per se, I had quite a fun time browsing Youtube comments on a "make the comment be more complicated but still have the same premise and perhaps even better grammar."-kinda game. I dunno how better to describe it than an example. I may make a forum game off of it and link it here, come to think of it.

Original Comment:
"hey wacth your mouth you said fuck ravens the ravens win the super bowl last year dont say bad word to the raven they my team and i have this game on my xbox360" (for the record, he was commenting on a Madden NFL 13 Soundtrack video. No, I'm not interested in that, I honestly have no idea whatsoever how I got there.)
 
I started off with a simple upscale in terms of complexity and grammatical correctness.

"Hello, sir. Please keep in full mental control of your verbal faculties, especially regarding your recent comments about the American Football team known as the Ravens (no relation to the Corvus Corax, aside from a few promotional items) and their sexual habits. The Ravens won the ultimate prize in American Football known as the Super Bowl. Please do not say words that are of an insurgent purpose to the Ravens. Indeed, the Ravens are the team that I abide by as a fan. I also have Madden NFL 13 on my XBOX 360."

Then, I moved on to a secondary challenge, which was to take everything in comment as literally as possible.

"Hello, sir. Please look into a reflective surface and look upon your mouth. Gaze upon it's past actions. You communicated with said orifice your desire to have a very uncanny amount of sexual relations with the bird known as the Corvus Corax, or commonly known as the Raven. Said bird achieved victory at a particularly large and deep bowl known as the Super Bowl in the past year. Do not say expletives to the Raven. They, my team, and I have this game on my XBOX 360. In other words, the Ravens, my team, and me personally own this game."

Much creative fun was had this day.

Took on the Humanis Policlub during a datasteal while playing terribly due to two days worth of sleep deprivation. Came out with zero casualties and enough nuyen to get my decker some dermal plating, a new cyberdeck and a new outfit. Did not expect that.

Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall

[Akura]

Whelp, Miriam is no more. After I started taking over her southern bases, for some reason she decided to pull all of her artillery to a single base, giving the large number of units holding The Rapture a turn to full-heal(thanks to the Command Nexus). About the same time, I was able to land reinforcements. Funnily enough, I had nearly run out of Energy during the campaign, so I used my ridiculous majority vote to salvage the Unity core. Next turn, Miriam try to bribe me off with a significant 425 EC, but that number dropped during subsequent turns. Eventually, she tried to offer herself in a subjugation treaty, but I refused that, since I didn't want someone crazy enough to massacre thousands of her own people the second someone else's troops walk into the place hanging around. Even more funny is that when I told her there was no surrender, she suddenly got severe delusions of grandeur.

Following the war, I found I should be able to build a land bridge to Zharkarov's continent, which is only half-colonized. That'll teach the bastard to jump-build The Longevity Vaccine without warning, just turns before I finish it.
Getting one to Yang's continent, that might be harder.

Killed my first black knight, the one at the top of the tower near the bridge where you can get the drake sword. Killed it by parrying with my zweihander and stunlocking it with power attacks. Took a bunch of attempts, and deaths, but I did it.

Got a titanite shard and the black knight greatsword out of it. Aaaaw yiss.

Dark Souls

Alright, now Yang is bugging out. Every time one of his units get near mine, I get four notifications of "I have an urgent message from Chairman Yang, switching to main viewscreen." and then a message from Yang about my constant religious prattling and that he's declaring Vendetta against me, despite that fact that we already have a Vendetta, and I'm Santiago, not Miriam, although I do have the Fundamentalist setting active(balances surprisingly well with Knowledge).

It won't matter in the end, though, I've already taken a third of his bases and have a column of Shard Hovertanks blitzkrieging towards The Hive. The only thing giving me pause is the fact that he has a Fission Planetbuster garrisonned at The Hive. I managed to get a good foothold by mind-controlling a few bases before the Probe Team died from the side-effects of mind control.

Merc, 65ish GC witch, 62ish bosses. Works great against rogue exiles too.

The only things the gem has a problem with is teeny tiny corrupted areas (Disused furnance, Neglected Cellar) that don't provide enough souls for a charge, and bosses that do heavy AoE (Curator Miem from Disused furnance, Rima from the Cellar)...

Fighting a 6th dan (?) Black belt with a red camo texture. The way he was talking was pretty confident, since he was the highest belt rank in the tourney. I decided to open by swiftly kicking him in the lumbar. It split him in half. I swung his upper half over me, and slammed it headfirst on the ground. Disqualified. Tomato wins.

"6th dan getting kicked apart by a... brown belt?"

"How far the great have fallen." ~Two random guys
