Got my first achievement! Granted, it's only the one for building one of every building, which is as far as I know, the easiest one. I haven't starved to death yet after 27 years, so that's something. And I managed to survive a Yellow Fever outbreak with only one death. Granted, the last outbreak had three, but my population now is nearly triple that.

Banished. Yes, avoiding starvation a quarter-century is something to be proud of.

[SOLDIER First]

Took out a bull shark with only six harpoons.
Granted, they were upgraded harpoons, but I still feel it's worth mentioning.

Assasin's Creed IV: Black Flag

[Loud Whispers]

Being an incorruptible religious champion of the village, smiting down demons with my beautiful sword (just a regular sword, no euphemisms) in Corruption of Champions under the purity challenge.

The entire game is essentially is /d/egeneracy: The game. It's an ERPG where you are ordinary bob tossed into a demon-infested world as the champion to defend everyone in a world where everything is trying to sexually assault you or wants you to reciprocate and thus corrupt yourself. The obvious challenge is to try and win the game as an uncorrupted paragon virgin smiting an endless sea of writhing genitals.

So far about 25 generations of champions have been violated, corrupted, mutated or deviated from the Champion's path. Champion Krawser however has inherited the responsibility from Champion Kreole (who was unfortunately ruined by the sexual advances of a gigantic she scorpion masquerading as a woman in distress) and so far Champion Krawser has smitten droves of frisky goblins and imps, escaped the strangulations of the dreaded goo-girl, smashed the chains of the forgotten Gargoyle in an abandoned cathedral with his bare hands, eluded the writhing grasp of the horrifying tentacle beasat, seen past the ruse of the she-scorpion and eluded the feast of oasis demons that so nearly corrupted Kreole. Most importantly after just two days of wandering and after many close calls with the sand witches, discovered the hidden city of Tel'Adre - I will now be able to acquire better weaponry and armour for my eternal war. All jokes aside the story is actually really sad when you play the purity challenge, the world is really broken when demons are going about full slaanesh on everything and people have to cower in fear behind illusions in the hopes that the nightmare will end. There are ruined settlements, stray refugees from calamity and plenty of reminders as to what will happen to your people should you fail.

But hey, Kreole's doing good. He's killed many foul demons and every day he meditates to keep the corruption away. Keep at it Kreole.

Playing a veteran, and hadn't been revealed. We had reason to believe that there was only one Mafia member left, and we were trying furiously to root them out. So, I decided to play a trick.

Gamzee [me]: I'll go ahead and claim a role. I'm an investigator, though I don't have any leads yet.

After taking a few people saying I was a moron for saying this when there's a killer about, night finally fell. I set up an alert, and waited.

Unfortunately, as it turned out, there was one more mafia member lurking about, but she was kinda newbish, and we found her quickly.

Town of Salem. Think Speed Mafia Lite.

For those who don't play Mafia nor ToS, the goal of the game is, for the town, to root out and kill the Mafia. For the Mafia, it's to kill the rest of the town. This isn't getting into neutral classes and such, which weren't in that round. Anyways, the Investigator role is pretty powerful, capable of giving a very, very helpful hint about who is which role. Generally, if exposed, they're the first thing the Mafia will gun for. The veteran, on the other hand, can set up an alert at night (When the Mafia acts) three times per game. Anybody, friend or foe, that visits you that night will be shot and killed. This includes Mafia trying to introduce your jugular vein to their good friend Knife.

Whenever I'm vet I claim Doc day 2.  Almost always gets me a bad guy kill

And occasionally an investigator but who's counting?

[itisnotlogical]

E2 of Ultimate DOOM usually takes me a few days to complete (every level is in the Wolf3D "giant maze" style). I just now completed it in a single sitting, even getting the secret level and only dying once.

The Waaaagh! of the feral orks were nothing against the massed might of the Imperial Guardsmen. The corrupting forces of Chaos did not a scratch to the unending waves of heavy armor that turned their sorcerer into fine red mist. But the Witch herself, the leader of the Eldar xenos on this planet, was a foe that neither of the Holy Emperor's forces could defeat. For a long thirty minute battle, endless waves of Eldar and Imperial Forces clashed, slowly whittling down at the xeno scum's production centers. The battle's high point was when the xeno mechas, the scourge of the Guardsmen, forced the cowards to retreat instead of facing their deaths honorably. The commander engaged in melee combat with the alien machines, with his two guardian commissars aiding. As all hope seemed lost, a full force of six Leman Russ tanks and the Emperor's finest Baneblade charged through the enemy lines, inspiring the retreating Guardsmen to stand their ground and the aliens to retreat. Before long, the seemingly unbreachable fortress of the Eldar fell to the Holy Emperor's finest, with only several hundred casualties and thirty tanks destroyed.

Dawn of War: Dark Crusade.

[Sirus]

Several hundred casualties and thirty tanks? Are you sure you were playing Imperial Guard? Those totals seem awfully low...

Must've gotten some equipment besides the standard issue flashlights and T-shirts.

[Julius Clonkus]

Several hundred casualties and thirty tanks? Are you sure you were playing Imperial Guard? Those totals seem awfully low...

To be fair, Dawn of War is pretty much a very tiny minor skirmish in the greater scale of Warhammer 40k.

And the Guard's tanks are pretty much the most valuable thing on the battlefield. The footsloggers exist only to keep up a minimum safe distance between the cosmic horrors and your artillery. Baneblade goes into melee range with terrifying regularity. Losing thirty tanks seems a bit on the high scale for Dark Crusade battles, though. Or perhaps I am just too careful to properly play the Guard.

The Eldar threw EVERYTHING they had at me. They outnumbered me, and I was at max squad limits for both tanks and infantry, and I had extra men too from my honor guard and reinforcements.

THAT is why they got to my tanks.

So we’ve got me, Sobek, your unfriendly neighborhood alligator god, an incredibly incompetent Loki, a skilled Zeus, a decent Thor, and an Artemis who only plays arena.  Right at the start the Thor points out that no one is in right lane, so Artemis abandons the duo and leaves for the other side of the map, never to return.
So you think that would be bad right?  Nah, I didn’t die and when I finally decided to back for the first time I was level 12.  But it gets better.  The enemy team brought 3 mages, a jungler and an adc.   I was already way overleved because I stayed in lane forever and kept forcing the enemy out, and then I complemented that by buying all the most specialized magic defense gear.  So it got to the point where I would just stand in front of an enemy mage, barely even trying to dodge their attacks, and regen about as fast as they could damage me.
Sadly this couldn’t last.  Our Loki was dragging our offense down too much so we couldn’t effectively finish them off; thus as things often go we hit the level cap and the enemy got to catch up.  Around this point I died a few times, although far less than I killed.  After the end of a long series of bloody team fights and phoenix kills that don’t result in anything, our terribad Loki somehow manages to kill a phoenix right under the enemy’s nose with no help from the rest of us.  I missed what happened next but it ended up with the rest of my team dead, and the enemy titan at a sliver of health.

Sobek: Should I go?
Artemis:  Yes, go.
Zues: Good plan

So I charged alone up the left lane, where the only destroyed enemy phoenix was.  Literally charged, as in I used my charge attack as fast as its cooldown would allow me in order to get in there as fast as possible.  For some reason the enemy let a wave of creeps get in to attack their titan and that undoes all its regeneration.
They clear out the creeps and move to the edge of their base to defend it.  But I’m already upon them.  I dodge a slowing tornado, run up to their titan, use my charge attack… and finish off the enemy titan in a single, glorious blow.  The ending cutscene of it dying featured one dancing alligator surrounded by an army of dejected enemy creeps and gods.

Schmite

[Culise]

First terror mission to Tijuana.  Judging by the fact that America was my guaranteed alien loss this game, it seems we're now serving as a reverse border patrol - keeping illegal aliens north of the border.  A pack of four Chrysallids was kind enough to bunch up in an attempt to completely surrounde my sniper on the roof.  She ran out of the way, and I proceeded to pummel them with rockets, grenades, and a little bit of small arms fire until they ceased to exist.  As for the two civilians they killed before reaching me, two Close Combat Assaults with Shotguns on either side of a door was enough to rip the zombies to pieces.  End result was three civilians dead, and 11 saved, which isn't bad for a conventional-weapon terror mission in Long War.

Okay, I do admit I remember being in that kind of situation at one point during the campaign of Dawn of War: Dark Crusade. I think I simply chose to pay the price in bolter turrets instead. And I guess having had the high ground helped.

Granted, I was using the Heroes mod that allows units to gain experience as they rack up kills, so at some point I managed to roll the Eldar all over the map with a god-tier Baneblade. You know, for when you're finally sick of holding the line and all.

[Puzzlemaker]

I just purchased soulstorm (It was cheap) And I think I am going to play through it.  I can't decide what faction to stick with though, I like swarming my enemies personally.  Orks are always fun, but I am finding necrons are pretty fun to play as well.  There is also the imperial guard, but playing as them basically amounts to holding the line until you get tanks then ROFLSTOMP everyone.

Also, those tiny squares underneath the units health bars.  WHAT DO THEY MEAN

I cannot figure it out!

Oh, and how I owned recently:  In Dawn of War: Soulstorm, I was playing necrons and had been pushed back to my base.  The Eldar were at my gates, and I could barely hold them.  Being necrons, I refused to die and eventually I built up enough force/revived my current force to destroy their army.  It was pretty close though, and a lot of fun.
