Defeated a boss in my first attempt using only one Estus Flask during the entire fight.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Dark Souls 1.

Okay, so it was the Iron Golem fight, but this is my first time playing the game semi-blindly so sue me. It feels good to defeat a Darm Souls boss in your first try. I also ganked the Chaos Witch in my second attempt, but that's not as impressive. Though after the Gargoyles and Carpa Demon, I'm just glad that the boss fights are fun again and not total bullshit. I hope that whoever designed those two fights feels sorry for what they did.

Honestly, the Gargoyles and Capra Demon are, as far as I can tell, designed to wreck newer players and encourage them to try co-op. Capra Demon never really stops being hella robust, but the Gargoyles go down really quickly to any non-physical damage. Ornstein and SMOUGH are also always a fun time. Always. It is inevitable. And fucking Pinwheel is the most bullshit boss ever with all the goddamn clones. Makes the Catacombs a living nightmare.

I don't know why, but pinwheel felt like a breather boss to me.

[Greiger]

Yea seriously?  Pinwheel?  Every DS1 run I ever did pinwheel was down in 3 or 4 hits.  The games I played duo with someone else was even worse, I've seen him die before even getting an attack off he's that much of a pushover.  He just has way to little defense, or way to little hp, or way too little of both.

I can say with 100% confidence that I have never died to pinwheel.  The wheel skeletons before him are harder than he is.

The first time I killed pinwheel I was a little surprised when he didn't respawn. Though, the Pinwheel Servants later on are obnoxious.

_{shush i'm trying to create an anticlimax when they run into him later and find out he's pathetic}

Although I did actually die to him once, because his clone sucker punched me while the real Pinwheel was dying.

Oh what's that Ikko Ikki? You're twice my size and have about 4k men to my measly 2k? Wait, lemme just apply my super ninja. Oh there we go, two generals and a daimyo dead in three turns, that'll teach you. Oh wait, lemme just buy your last general off of you, you won't be needing any leadership for that rabble. Then the doomstack moves into my territory during winter, oh wait, I can also lock them in place with my ninja, here let's do that and attrition them down some.

While all that was fun and greatly helped, I still need to fight about 3600 men, luckily they don't have any leaders so routing most of them should be an option, especially since they're for the most part Ashigaru while I have a bunch of Samurai.

Total War: Shogun 2 (or whatever way it goes round) it sounds like, should anyone be interested.

I re-wrote the Geth.

Not an easy feat, since Geth are probably the most difficult enemies in the game besides the Collectors themselves. Probably not helped by the fact that I was trying to use my AI Hacking skill on the big ones when I should have just been concerned with taking them down

Playing Malfurion, a support character. Decided "fuck it" and picked only damage talents. Proceeded to wreck faces, to the point where actual assassin heroes, like Kerrigan, were running from me.

During the dark predawn hours, I was scouting a moderate distance away from my base, looking to explore a new area, preferably for some food until the crops come in.

Just in case, I had Safe Mode turned on just in case anything showed up, and my Night Vision ability would alert me from much further away. Turns out, I was ambushed. By a pack of wolves.


A short while later, I packed all the meat, bones, and stomachs into my wheelbarrow and strolled away. They only managed two (minor) hits while I shredded them with my reinforced steel spear.

Cataclysm: DDA. Now I just have to read cooking books until I get recipes for preserving the harvest, particularly fruits. I only have recipes for dehydrated goods, which burns through batteries like crazy.

I'm just gonna spend some time tempting fate right here.

In my current DnD (Pathfinder Rules) game; We have a Monk, a Hunter (With ALL the pets), and myself the Fighter/Sorcerer.

While the Monk is frontline and the Hunter backline, I fit a weird Jack-of-all Trades position normally taken by a Bard or Paladin. My spells are heavy on support, my AC is rather good, and my weapons are fairly hard hitting with my high strength... I DO however, have the lowest HP of the whole party.

Over the course of the campaign, I have been reduced to -7 HP three separate times without dying. (I have 8 Constitution so that is the lowest in negatives I can go before dying.) I've been blown up by a fireball, Blown up by a Master Chymist who killed himself after I stunned him while he did Weird Science, and fallen through 3 floors of an Inn with my weight and combined gear coming in at over 500 lbs most of the time causing so much falling damage after a teleport spell.

Everytime I have survived, everytime I have been brought back... And we're almost at the 'final boss' for the campaign... Whos ready for round 4 of surviving with 1 HP? XP

May all your rolls be crits.

P. S. Think of forum gamessss.

It took some savescumming, but everyting does - Breventovitch was 58 and ready to fall over at a moment's notice.
After four deaths and five daughters, on the fifth reload of the past three years, one of his three concubines finally gave him a son to inherit the throne and continue the game.
Time to throw away the concubines before it happens again.

If you'll excuse me the incredulity, how long into the game was this?

I started to train my parrying skills using a parrying dagger. Turns out that I never managed to do it before because I didn't know just how much it matters to use a small shield or a dagger instead of a larger shield. Been doing pretty good so far, parrying is one of those things that, once you get not completely terrible at it, makes many things much easier, though it does take some practice.

Just before the Viking Age begins. The ruler of  (a three county block next to Kiev) starts out relatively old and childless, and I hadn't worried about it until then.
