Went full trololo on Roxanne. Had Flabébé blast her Geodue with Energy Ball, while Mawile hammered her Nosepass with Grass Knot and Iron Head.

Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. The joke is neither are possible to obtain in AS - Mawile is (Omega) Ruby exclusive, and Flabébé is only obtained in Kalos. This Mawile was an offspring of my OR Mawile, and Flabébé came from one I traded for on the GTS when I tried to breed for a different color(doesn't work - they inherit the mother's flower color. Probably why they're female-only). I used Pokemon Bank to trade them over, but added some TMs beforehand, and I was in luck that because Mawile's mom knew them(dad was Ditto), this one could learn Iron Head and Play Rough from the Move Relearner - I think she would have got them on birth but I think her starting moveset pushed them off the move list, but I also think that's wrong.

I've also added some self-imposed challenges: Nuzlocke-style boxing of casualties(I intend to send some AS-exclusives over to OR, so outright tossing is out), and only capturing Pokemon that physically appear on the map.

Note: the hyperthreader actually has a memory leak. Use it long enough and the game will crash.

Oh, that explains it!

OI DEV, FIX YER GAEM.

Had a pile of void relics left over from when the tower keys were legacy'd into them, including ten or so Neo D1s (which have Dakra Prime Blade as their top drop). Had the BP and handle, but I went through them quickly-spent the traces to radiant about eight of them. Thankfully I got the drop with two left, since I wanted Dakra Prime but never got around to getting it and it's in the vault now. Less direct, more RNG favor, but thank goodness for dedication to the grind being judged kindly by the spirits of the loot slots machine.

My god, I've beaten the Darklurker.
I spent so many effigies on that bastard, but I beat him for things I'm not even specced for.
GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!

Dead Rising weapons are often much stronger than they'd be in real life (then again, I've never even taken a punch before so I wouldn't know how much damage a weapon would actually deal).

For instance, early on in the story of Dead Rising 2, you run into a trio of looters.

I had the metal baseball bat with me, which is used to hit baseballs at enemies as opposed to hitting enemies directly. I think I also had my attack power boosted to level 2 (I'd decided to start over after dying, but in this game, you keep your skills and levels).

For some reason, the metal baseball bat comes with twenty baseballs.

I killed the three looters with one each.

Dead Rising 2

[Akura]

I suppose that if you were a professional baseball player, maybe even a minor leaguer, then you'd be able to hit a baseball with enough for to risk lethal damage if hit in the head. Remember that major league pitchers can throw a baseball at >80MPH - not something you want to be hit in the face by.

That said, directly smashing their face in with a bat makes much, much more sense. Do you get to use it as a melee weapon if you run out of baseballs?

[SOLDIER First]

The weapon breaks once it's out of ammo, but I am intimately familiar with point-blank baseball attacks. The bat is just as good a weapon and the ball can still whizz around and hit other enemies.

[Teneb]

Won the siege of Karak Norn with an all-goblin army. Even then, the only reason for my victory was a pair of nasty skulker units sneaking to the victory point and holding it while the rest of the army was massacred.

Total Warhammer, as Skarsnik.

Skyrim hung on a room transition. I can alt-tab out, but this only results in an unresponsive window covering the entire screen and stealing mouse focus from everything else.

However, because I could alt-tab out, I could use Win + R to run the command line. From there, I learned how to use Taskkill to find the window named "Skyrim" and forcefully close it. No more having to log out to kill a stuck game!

Skyrim.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

If you're on windows just Alt+tab and use the systems manager... or whatever it's called. The Windows equivalent of the force quit screen.

[itisnotlogical]

But Skyrim stays on top and steals mouse focus, so I can't click anything on the task manager screen.

[Persus13]

I usually fix that by telling task manger to be "always on top" and then I can use it to kill the game, then set it back to normal.

Completed the "Streets of Rogue" demo as the Soldier, in spite of the periodic radiation hazard on the last level.

I discovered that I hadn't used most of the items/gold I had, most of the items I used were weapons of some kind (I took the loud approach to missions.

Streets of Rogue.

EDIT: Also completed the demo as the Scientist.

[Eric Blank]

After three failed attempts and learning the hard way that its utterly immune to magical damage and using resurrection charms, I finally killed the goddamn multi-healthbar loch and its pet zombie dragon. That zombie dragon completely wiped the party four times during the battle. And the healer in the party got eaten in the middle of the fight or something, dunno she just fucked off and was never heard from again.

Dragons dogma, dark arisen.

I was playing Lambda Wars (Think Starcraft, except Half-Life 2) with my friends. It was a free-for-all on a team-based map. One of my friends spawned behind me without me realizing, and ended up destroying my first base right after I had started up a new one, further away.

Then I return with saboteurs and destroy his everything with C4. He promptly ragequits.

Afterwards, I send more saboteurs to my other friend's heavily fortified combine base. He forgot to make scanners, so my guys just went in completely invisible and wrecked his shit, too. But he had like 3 other bases set up.

I end up having to take each of his capture points as if he's been fortifying japanese islands. Eventually, I'm at his last base, and when I scan it, I see that he has a single combine suppression device, which is usually more than enough to take out a squad of units. But since the Combine are like the Protoss, he had to power all of his buildings. He only had one powersource supplying both his headcrab cannisters and his suppression device, so I send D0G on a suicide mission, destroy his power source, and before he could realize what I've done, he says, "What was that? You only destroyed one building!"

Then I send in about 80 other units and finish him off. It was a good day. (For me)
