I remember playing my first purist run. I found an epic fetus in my first secret room. Won the game quite easily after that.

Binding of Issac. (original version)

Imploded(moved all) the walls into oblivion(those that are immune to Evaporate Wall).

Triangle Wizard.  I guess it's a bug involving a spell.

[Spehss _]

Murdered the first shopkeeper on level 1-2 with the machete in his shop. Took his shotgun.

Made it aaaaall the way to Olmec on level 4-4. That's ~14 or so shopkeepers armed with shotguns guarding the level exits that I had to wade through. If you've played this game, you know how dangerous that can be. (It's also really fun.)

I died to Olmec when he was so close to falling into lava. :| I died a rich man though, with +200,000 gold.

I had good gear, with a shotgun, cape, climbing gloves, spring shoes, spike shoes, and paste. But I had been bomb starved for most of the game; I had 0 bombs at Olmec and scrounged up only 6 on the level. If I had 1 or 2 more I could've sent Olmec straight to lava.

Took down the game's first spotted supply barge on what looked like an abduction mission.  Two dozen aliens, including four Outsiders, eliminated for only one injury.  Unfortunately, it was a doozy: Van Doorn's going to be on strict bed rest for over 40 days. 

Also, snow in Nigeria.  How odd.

XCOM: Long War

EDIT: And within the hour in-game, France withdraws from the project, joining Germany.  C'est la vie.

When I first started the High Rank missions, I had no idea what to do. Everything could kill me in one or two hits. I practiced, practiced and practiced, then eventually became able to beat most weaker HR monsters. Then I got an Urgent Quest to fight a pink Rathian and I experienced ultimate rage. I noticed that I had enough materials to make some random pieces of High Rank armor, pretty much all of which had more than twice the defense of the Zinogre armor I had been using. I made a bunch for myself, and then killed the pink Rathian with almost no effort thanks to training in 40 times Earth's gravity learning to almost never get hit. Now when I did get hit, it wouldn't matter. I killed her again, and again, and again until I made a full set of pink Rath Heart armor and a brand new sword and shield. Feels.

It's World War 2 all over again.

[Dunamisdeos]

I designed a ship with 12 forward-firing disintegrator cannons. It was capable of literally blasting a hole sideways through a shielded Vulfen Cruiser. It did require minor support, as it had less broadside/rear firepower than a ship one entire class lower than itself.

It fired green lasers, so it looked like someone had parked the death star laser on the front of a cruiser. Also my custom race was cybernetic, and used the Samurai Space Bear aesthetic (that's a thing). They were called the Bjorg.

I killed a moose.

Granted, it was half-injured already (probably why it was angry!), and the bastard still got within 2 tiles before one final arrow brought it down.

But I can now consider my many previous characters avenged. After so many deaths by moose (including my first character, 33 minutes into the game), finally taking revenge feels so good.

Cataclysm: DDA

[itisnotlogical]

I have finally managed to eke out a safe, if somewhat monastic existence on my hardcore Minecraft world. I have enough wheat growing that I (probably) don't have to worry about starvation for a little bit, a secure underground base, the shallow beginnings of a mineshaft with multiple surface exits, and the grounds surrounding my home have been explored and lit to the point that there's only a handful of monsters at night.

The only thing that bothers me is the lack of sheep for beds, but I suppose I'm doing well enough without those.

Minecraft.

[Culise]

Walked down the stairs into a basement, ran into a massive smoke cloud and a pile of acid.  "Oh, a smoker and a spitter."  Killed both, and waited by the door as the cloud started to clear, with my atomic nightlight for sight since I couldn't shine my flashlight through the cloud in either case.  Then a giant fist came out of the dark and slammed me back against the stone wall, before a pair of hands grabbed me from beyond my sight range and yanked me forwards towards the door and what rapidly was apparent as a horde.  Turns out the smoker and spitter weren't alone; there was also a hulk, a grappler, and seven survivor zombies now surrounding me, with the hulk now between me and my only way out.  Boxed in, I couldn't use my grenades without blowing myself up (though it became increasingly tempting), so I hefted my broadsword and laid into the horde.  In the end of it, I come out with my clothes torn, barely standing, likely with what would have been at least half a dozen broken ribs and severe bruises all over if that was modeled in the game, but alive and ready to claim my reward - a massive stockpile of tinned food.

Cataclysm: DDA.  That was still easier than fighting three or four corrosive zeds, though.

[heydude6]

Wait, you killed a hulk with a broadsword... HOW?!!

[blazing glory]

Wait, you killed a hulk with a broadsword... HOW?!!

With enough armor, I could kill a hulk with a hammer, broadswords are pretty high on the list of decent melee weapons.

[pisskop]

skill

with enough skill you can kill ogres  hulks with dwarven short swords broadswords

[Culise]

Pretty much both of the above. I was locked in place by the surrounding zeds, so everything came down to character skill (5 in dodge, 8 in melee, 7 in both bashing and cutting), armor (the dead of winter meant I was the peak of apocalyptic haute couture with an armored fur coat and MBR vest, both loaded with kevlar), and one of the best melee weapons in the game short of end-game material (the broadsword).  The only thing I did was pick my targets to take down the grappler first (easiest to kill, most likely to try a pin, and most likely to succeed in my experience), the hulk (highest damage potential), and finally the survivor zeds (which also can pin, but were both too numerous to easily eliminate and also kept the hulk from sending me flying into walls by surrounding me on five sides - basically serving as squishy, rotty, bitey, grabby pillows). 

[itisnotlogical]

Breached a cavern. Killed many monsters via the tactical use of lava buckets. Acquired iron, coal, gold, diamond, redstone and emeralds in copious amounts. Expanded my wheat farm to about 400% of its former capacity, so I don't have to worry about food unless something truly catastrophic happens. All of this on what is probably my longest-lasting hardcore world yet.

Just about the only danger left is my own hubris, at least in my starting area. Time to explore the nearby jungle biome!
