As far as I'm concerned, the Fallout series ended with New Vegas, and what a spectacular ending it was.
Yeeeep. Lonesome Road was such a nice send-off to the DLC stories, as well.

I got hit and entered into Spirit Mode, but I beat the midboss of Stage 4...

and got an Extend!!!

Granted, I still did die without reaching the boss of Stage 4 (immediately after I beat the boss, too), but given that I haven't played a Touhou game in quite some time, I'm gonna put this one down as a victory.

The time was late 1905.  Due to the fact that the Japanese main battle line seemed to be attempting to avoid direct action, the Imperial Chinese Navy was directed to assist army operations on Formosa, which had been secured early in the war but still faced guerilla operations by Japanese forces which had retreated to the interior.  Much to the chagrin of the crews and captains of the battlewagons, these duties largely amounted to babysitting: convoy escort duty.  Their wish was granted off Ningbo while escorting a convoy to Hangzhou, when the Chinese literally blundered into the main Japanese fleet in the pre-dawn gloom; the Japanese had finally decided to give battle.  Unfortunately, while the Chinese had numbers, the Japanese had quality: Chinese Zhenyuan-class battleships were relatively light in displacement and had a primary armament of 10" guns of middling quality (and the Xihe-variants, forced to be built at home due to rising tensions with the French, had distinctly sub-par main guns due to the state of Chinese domestic industry), while the Japanese standard designs for their Fusos and Mikasas were over 3000 tons heavier with 12" guns.  Fortunately, in a knife-fight, both sides were equally surprised, but superior Chinese gunnery soon showed the way.  A magazine blast ripped apart the light cruiser Itsukushima in the opening volleys, lighting up the stunned Japanese fleet, and the Chinese fell to with a vengeance.  After a full day's battle, the Japanese were completely routed without ever making contact with the transports, the IJN Fuso (lead ship of the Fuso-class battleship) left to sink beneath the waves and most of their remaining battleships fleeing northeast in states of disrepair.  The Chinese pursuit was, unfortunately, stymied by the dual needs to protect the transports against any possible cruiser action and the fall of night, but this blow proved to be decisive.  The Battle of Ningbo was the last major engagement of the Second Sino-Japanese War; the Japanese were compelled to withdraw all "interests" from southern Korea and Formosa as well as paying a minor indemnity, a complete reversal of Chinese fortunes ten years before.  Unfortunately, in spite of now being three battleships lighter (two to the Chinese, one to their American allies) and facing unrest at home, the Japanese were bowed, but not broken.

Remember when testing something you know will end in game over because you're curious always remember to savescum.
Anyway, before Curiousity killed the game, I'd managed to take the game from a CONSERVATIVE NIGHTMARE to almost complete liberalness with nothing but 5 guitarist, a gunner, a writer, and a hacker.
There were two new amendments. almost every issue was at %100 liberalness. all my men had army body armor. there were no longer deathsquads roaming the streets. there were no longer firemen burning those who use free speech. people would line up to sing our praises(you would think, with %100 knowing us, and %99 liking us).

By the way, what's a good way to train fighting skills (outside of teaching)? And what good is fighting for as far as furthering the liberal agenda?

Yes, because shooting people certainly won't result in getting shot by the police/security in return!

And yes, because killing people is an obvious means of furthering the Liberal Agenda!

Obviously you just shoot the conservative police/security with your guns of liberalism before they shoot you.

Basically, fighting skill is most important when you completely fuck up furthering the Liberal Agenda.

Also, it might also convince the public of the importance of a Liberal gun policy(which is ban guns). After all, those Conservative swine wouldn't have been possible had it not been legal to purchase guns and legal to fire a gun in a crowded area - both the ideology of the Conservative - and those people clearly saw the guns, knew which way they were pointing, and still stood in the path of the bullet like the Conservatives they are were. Heck, it's their fault the bullets hit them.

AzyWng found Akura's tips and advice to be insightful. They'll meet again if the former has any further questions.

Cooked 25 bags of meth on Death Wish. This was my third loud DW heist.

My Salamence, whom I named Chelsia after the protagonist of Khimera: DAMGs, dominated the Master Rank Coolness Contest. Had nearly matched the opponent's other scores just from maxed out Coolness stat alone, but in the second turn, ended up with a very terrible point count, sending her last for turn three where a Dragon Claw set her up to go first on turn four as well as charging the crown up to guarantee a Special Talent(and subsequent Mega-Evolution).
