I've... Literally only heard it praised.

I figured out what putting a Supermatter Core in a Singularity does. Oh, and I lived.

I have heard it shit-talked, but I think it was a fairly good game overall.

It is a terrible, repetitive and buggy piece of shit as a game. As a story, however, it's one of the best I've ever played/read/watched. It is a really exciting cynical yet emotional rollercoaster. I'm not even exaggerating when I say it made me rethink my views on modern entertainment. The reviews on it are divided because it requires a certain opinion to be enjoyed, namely that a good story can carry a bad game. No disrespect for those who don't hold that opinion, of course, and I agree that it's not something to recommend to people who aren't specifically looking for a game like it.

Ended up committing a ton of war crimes. Survived anyway.

Can we just appreciate the fact that committing war crimes counts as owning on the Bay12 forums?
Honestly, if you did the same in DF you'd be hailed as a Dwarven hero.

Um... I think I've tried something similar, only it was skin-rotting contact poison. Never got the deployment quite right.

it's possible to make an ENTERS_BLOOD venom and give a creature a breath attack with that venom, then have it breath on a stack of weapons to give them coverings of that venom, then stab people with those weapons to "inject" the venom (until blood coverings overwrite the venom coverings)

The main thing I've heard negatively about spopsthaline is that it pretty much critisizes the player for doing things that it forces you to do.

I made it to the, ah, first enemy that isn't terrorists.  In Ironbro mode (you only get 0-1 bros per level, your bros carry over throughout the entire game).  The last bro standing was Ash Brolins.  He took a running jump off of a tower into the midst of 3 unsuspecting terrorists.  Unfortunately while the two in front had been facing away, the one in back, almost offscreen, had seen him climb the tower and was alerted.  The first two terrorists just barely absorbed all of the blast from Ash's double shotgun and then a very unlucky shot from the remaining terrorist killed him.  An ignoble end to an otherwise glorious run.  Hilariously enough the, ah, new guys in town didn't actually get any bros.  The few that made it that far died to stupid shit that didn't involve them.  See: Ash's death.

Before he died, the second to last bro (MacBrover), stuck dynamite to Satan's penis.  That's gotta count for something.

Dude, have you beaten the final boss then? Because holy shit it's haaard.

[EnigmaticHat]

Yes, and I have no clue how I'm going to do that on Ironbro.  Just getting there would be an accomplishment I guess.

Dude, have you beaten the final boss then? Because holy shit it's haaard.

It is actually really easy as anderbro, just down melee on top if it's head repeatedly.

[EnigmaticHat]

The bosses that really concern me:

The giant retreating worm.  Its not hard if you practice it for a few lives but its gimmicky and the way the campaign is set up its difficult to practice against.  Easy to beat, but not easy to beat on the first try without massive casualties.

The hybrid terrorist/xeno boss because holy shit WTF.

The not-true final boss.  He has a bunch of attacks that work mostly regardless of terrain, and then (when I faced him) he destroys the whole fucking stage except one side and then stands on the few remaining elevated bits raining death.  Fucking bullshit boss, so much worse than the actual final boss.

The Kecha Wacha had been destroying me whether I used the gunlance, longsword or twin swords, so I thought I'd try a few more weapon training missions to see what I was missing.

Boy howdy, I was not expecting the Insect Glaive. I love the pole-vault attack, and Kinsects, and finally having a use for all this stupid nectar I keep getting. It's fast, it does a lot of damage, and I get to flip around like Aang from The Last Airbender.

It only took twenty minutes to completely destroy Kecha Wacha. I didn't even need to use a paintball on him because I was on his ass pretty much the entire time.

Managed to hold off three NC trying to take Scarred Mesa by myself long enough for reinforcements to (f*cking finally) deploy. Eventually lost the base when I found myself facing even more by myself, but that was after about 20 minutes of me attacking them(failing, but barely), and slowing their attack with mines and mortar ambushes. I want to think that I helped turned the whole alert into a draw rather than a VS win(and continent lock) by slowing down the NC from taking more territory from us.

Towards the end of the alert(and for some time after it), I scored tons of XP from a Sunderer during a massive stalemate at Tawrich Depot. Eventually lost the Sunderer from two engineers with AT turrets raining missiles on the base, but I found my way to their position, killed them, died to their drop-pod respawn, killed them again, died again when they dropped in, found the beacon under the cliff(so low you can't see the beam from the cliff), and killed them again. However, by this point the NC managed to take Tawrich Depot and I stopped playing.
