[EnigmaticHat]

I decided I'd been too mean to the enemy team with my Colt Walkers and decided to buy a Henry Rifle.  The objective for this map is to push a raft through a cold, ankle-high river; at the center of the map it goes through a tunnel and there's a pass over.  I go up on the pass and shoot at the two enemies, who are trying to rush through with an axe and a coach gun.  It goes suprisingly well for them but they still die.  I see someone is pushing the cart raft; he exits the tunnel to reveal that he has a machete equipped.  I start shooting at him from above and behind, get him once in the leg, and then he runs away, obviously meaning to come up behind me.  I scope up and watch behind me, he rushes me and I calmly take aim and gun him down, confident that he just has a melee weapon.

Actually he had a Colt Walker with 3 shots in it.

I don't know why he decided to melee me when he had the highest damage handgun in the game, but I gladly take it for myself and proceed to decimate the enemy team with it, as the level is too narrow for them to surprise me, and I can just retreat behind my allies when I need to do my ridiculously long reload.  In the final charge I decide to just go for it with nothing loaded except four in the Henry Rifle.  I miss one shot on an enemy with a rifle, hit the other and he retreats to reload.  An enemy is camping the path with a shotgun, I turn the corner and semi-accidentally headshot him.  The only guy left is the one with the rifle, I take aim with my last bullet and hit him square in the chest for just enough to kill him.  I have no more bullets, but the payload raft reaches the goal.  Never died, x18 killstreak, 108 notoriety, second place on my team was 23 noteriety.

Fistful of Frags, teamplay

Spoiler: Context (click to show/hide)

I got the Orb of Zot with a non-mage character. This time cats is a Minotaur Fighter of Okawaru wielding a +9 Eveningstar of Crushing and decked out in absurd amounts of armour and toting a +8 Large Shield. Okawaru is actually pretty strong: The Heroism buff is better then it seemed at first and Finesse[Especially coupled with Haste or Berserk] turns you into a DPS machine capable of beating down the Royal Jelly in a matter of turns. It doesn't compare to level 9 spells like Fire Storm or Tornado, but I can still kick major ass. I do have a couple support spells and wands and rods and such, but the majority of my success is from repeated bludgeoning. Okawaru's GIFTS, though, suck. I've gotten two or maybe three useful gifts[To be fair, one of them was my eveningstar and another one was a demon whip randart that propelled me through the early and mid game] and the rest are junk. I mean, I'm getting ROBES. I don't want robes. In any case, the game isn't over. I've won once already and now I wanna try the extended endgame. I've got four runes + the Orb positioned for easy retrieval at the upstairs of Zot:5 and only eleven more runes left to go. I'll probably clear out the Crypt/Tomb with TSO to get piety up and then get the Abyssal Rune before tackling the Hells/Pandemonium. In any case, even if I later die ignominiously, I COULD have won at this point.

So I did end up converting to TSO and winning, with the full fifteen runes. I must admit to some disappointment. Aside from the boss fight with Asmodeus[Which I only survived because of TSO giving me absurd healing on killing him so the several brimstone fiends he summoned didn't wreck me] and all the Ice Fiends with Cocytus' boss tormenting me at once, I never once encountered something that couldn't be solved by hasting up, maybe casting Silence and then pummeling things repeatedly with my +9 Eveningstar of Holy Wrath. Well, swarms of Greater Mummies in the Tomb were trickier and required abusing LoS and stair dancing, but if I'd had Silence castable then, they would've been pushovers. I also kept around the Elemental Staff for resists and damage against non-unholy foes. Even though I did end up training Evocations to 27 for that, there wasn't that much call for it to be used, except on a saucy Seraph who showed up right before I ascended.

So i was fighting a taranis and i was getting pummeled by its anti-fighter defense, i kept fighting, or at least was trying to fight it and try to capture it but i was going critical and wasnt looking really good for me then out of no-where my scaldis wich for some unknown reason was on follow me order and came out of warp and hit the taranishead-on sending it flying at over, well i dont know the speed it was but he did clear 2 system space in really no time.

I was laughing my ass off trying to roleplay it in my head because Taranis destroyers can be really dangerous if you attack it on the wrong angle and such, and the scaldisÉ Well its a big ass mining ship with no weapon worth talking about and in my head it was: *He guys the boss is in real trouble lets give him a head, prep the shield we are going in for a ram. ENGAGE FULL SPEED AHEAD and brace for impact!!!!!

Suddenly the Taranis is not a treat anymore. Wasnt a win per say but it did clear the sector and save my ass so yeah.

Huh. Didn't think minotaurs could get spells castable like that.

Managed to knock out a colony of Alpha and Gamma metroids ahead of time and under-equipped, and rather swiftly too. Battle environments were also pretty hostile too. Unintentional sequence break.

You can, its just a lot of work. I had to sink ~17-18 levels into Charms, Spellcasting, Air and Hexes to get a decent success chance. Which took forever, but its not like I had anything better to put points in once I maxed Fighting, Shields AND Armour.

Spoiler: pretty big image (click to show/hide)

the maint point of interest here is the minimap.
we held off the vanu at this location for like fifteen minutes, while they threw two libs, five scythes, five magriders, a sunderer, and about a bajillion lightnings at us.
and by "held off" i mean we fought them for fifteen minutes after which we drove them out.

you might note that there is nothing here to defend: it's literally just a sunderer deployed in a sort of covered part of mountainside and about fifty gorillion maxes firing on the road below. much xp was farmed.

Planetside 2

After over 30 or so deaths and lots of practice, I finally managed to beat the final boss of the Genocide route. I know I should feel bad about killing him, but after the hell he put me through, I just can't.

Finally got to level 30 before even getting to Dreadfell--not much of a normal 'own', as far as I know, but when playing on Nightmare Difficulty and Roguelike setting, each time you live through a boss battle {without save scumming or whatever} is an Own in itself.

Given that everyone is ~10 levels above you. Always.

I do have a TR and NC character on Miller, though. Those dudes have existed for like two years so they probably have a bunch of free stuff on them. (like double burster arms)

Diablo 3

Torment 1 isn't that hard at all. It can be done with good yellow gear and a skill build that isn't pants-on-head stupid. Feel free to push higher torments to find what level you can play comfortably to get the best return in droprates and experience rates.

You only need to really worry about dying horribly if you're playing hardcore, otherwise the death penalty is minor, just some gold lost and some time lost.
