The game had just started. Our starting area wound up being pelted with enemy rifle fire. My buddies suppress the other team enough for me to move into a spot of cover about 10 feet away. I switched hands to shoot lefty, and after two shots my rifle locked up. As I was taking enemy fire with a jammed gun in my hands, I was predictably pissed off. I decide, "Fuck this shit," whip out my sidearm, started taking potshots with that, and heard someone shout "HIT" after I had fired 3 or 4 shots.

And then someone else shot me. On the flip side, though, I still managed to take somebody out.

Real life, playing a CQB airsoft game.

It doesn't have to be a video game, or at least I never heard it did.

Managed to flip over a radiator and make toast on it. The hard part was escaping the bathroom cabinet and making a ridiculous leap - completely by accident - all the way from the swinging door onto the hair dryer.

For some reason I really thought this was going to be one of those where the game is "real life" (because this to ally sounds like something a college kid or a crazy DF player would do). Took me about 15 seconds to get the image of you leaping across your bathroom out of my head. XD

I had an IRL own myself some time back. Maybe a good decade or so back.

Back when I was paintballing with my brothers and his (my older brother's) friends, I was under suppressing fire, and decided to do the *smart* thing and run out of cover for new better cover. Amazingly, I dodged the bullets whizzing by me, and dove into the nearby pit (this took place in the woods, not an arena). As I was ducking for cover, someone from the other team jumped into the same pit as me (considering me an open target, I would assume; also because I made for an easy target at the time since it was my first paintball game; though second match for the day), turned towards me and asked if I was shot. Knowing they weren't out of the game, and I had little time to react, I responded by aiming my gun at them and pelting them with a barrage of shots, hoping one of them would hit (the barrel had a round explode at the end of the muzzle, so my aim was screwy from the get-go). I managed to get a kill on them before they took me out in their last moments.

It hurt like hell being shot at near-point-blank like that (I think I took a full burst-fire to the waist), but it was worth it for the point. Thank goodness we didn't play Ironman (You're out when you fall to the ground; speaking of which, a secondary own, I didn't pass out after taking a shot to the shoulder and the thigh immediately after during the first round. But holy hell, did it hurt. And I have a pretty high pain threshold too. As my brother commented, it was like watching a mook get shot down in a movie.).

At the end of a long night of SSBing, my friends decided to 1v1 me (with me as Bowser).  First one went Marth, I take him apart and finish him off with a needless kamikaze grab for style points.  Second friend is probably better than me but we were having a disagreement as to whether Palutena is good, so he picked her.  Died 3 times to my 1.  I liked her character in Kid Icarus but good in SSB she is not.

Then the third friend decided he'd get in on it.  He usually randoms but he decides to pick Diddy Kong.  Now, Diddy Kong has a lot of horizontal moves, and this is on Final Destination with no items.  He has a particularly annoying running grab that I have basically no answer to, and running dash with a generous hitbox that he gets me with if I try to dodge.  The whole fight, I'm just feeling how bad I'm getting wrecked.  Fortunately he kills himself by accident one time.  In the end its down to me at 124%, him at 68%, both at one stock.  I dodge past him in midair and surprise him with a backwards double spin kick that knocks him way off the edge.  He falls down to the lower left corner, starts loading up his jetpack... meanwhile I calmly walk up, pick up his own banana, and hit him square on the head with it from across the map.  His jetpack flies off and explodes as he falls to his death.

Strangely enough Eventhubs.com ranks Palutena as a mid tier (25 out of 48) character, well above Bowser (43 out of 48).

....Bowser low tier?

hahahaha

Also she's not terrible, she's just unwieldy, and depends on her customs to do well.

The other odd thing about that list is how much higher Marth is than Lucina, considering they're identical except for sweetspots and sourspots, and a few of Marth's moves functioning very slightly differently.

Real Life, Paintball

That reminds me of my first and only game of Paintball. I was running for the flag, headshot an enemy splattering paint all over their visor, grabbed the flag and ran in slow motion with bullets flying by, one right by my ear and a second one scratching my suit. Won the game!

[Reudh]

Got the dead boy achievement (take no damage on Dark Room/The Chest) in The Binding of Isaac Rebirth. As it would happen, a metric fuckton of damage ups, ludivico technique, the holy mantle, coal and guppy is INSANELY overpowered. Oh, and when I fought dead baby I just used a chaos card.

I got Mommy's Boy, which is the same but on the Womb/Utero. Holy Mantle is insanely good.

Molotov + school + most of the zombies in town = win.

Cataclysm: DDA.

[Arcvasti]

Didn't die, not even once[Which is a first for me]. And harvested approximately a bajillion units of tomatoes and synthflesh and mailed them to the chef. Even though he was in brig the entire game because he was an asshole. AAND made it to the escape shuttle[Also a first for me].

SS:13

[pisskop]

I got the satisfying feeling one gets when they drop 50 nukes on a guy without Ecology (thus cant scrub fallout)and then take Egypts lands back for his Jewish HRE.

  And to make it even better, I nuked his friends too, and sent my spies (which are my personal strong point) to keep flipping their religion and turn their civics so the ai freaks out about losing their favorite economies and has to waste time changing back.

  Rather anticlimatic, though.  He couldnt work most of his tiles and he became a vast semipopulated continent.  But, I did stop global warming by murdering 20% of the human race!  \o/

Haha, almost nobody took any noteable damage durning Chapter Three. Except for the Avatar and Stahl, but Stahl wasn't in any danger and I healed up the Avatar, so it's all good.

Fire Emblem: Awakening

[Itnetlolor]

I managed to get an ultra-kill against my godlike custom bots on godlike difficulty during the first 10 minutes. And after apparently 45 minutes of pure fragging (didn't realize I had it set to limitless), I placed 4th, out of 9, in DM-Morbias-II; Flak Arena Mutator, 25 kills behind 1st place (Having close to 205 kills, I think). I died the most (260 deaths), but I wasn't doing half-bad overall. I could have had a screenshot for proof, but the game wasn't much a fan of Steam's screenshot function. Oddly enough, the results fell somewhat into my expectations.

Unreal Tournament 99

[Arx]

Running out of ships? Build another three docks! Enemy developing naval advantage? Weight some ships with coins and ram 'em! Enemy attempting to invade? Torpedo the troop transports! Team mate struggling to overwhelm their defensive position? Make eight aircraft carriers! Docks hit by missiles? Indiscriminately shell military emplacements with battleships!

I love playing Dutch. The economic advantage can be huge.
