It's all done, even the Overseer.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Fallout 1. Strangely enough, despite having a positive karma and no Blood Bath trait, I've shot the Overseer with my pistol that I didn't even have.

Kefka threw me into an abyss

[Hotfire90]

Completed the last two bonus objectives of the two Directors and Snatcher EX bosses.

A Hat in Time. Snatcher EX's tri-attack is the worst, even after learning how to best survive it, it remains barely manageable.

Acquired the game's most hilariously broken abilities through Chocobo sex.

Not with them. But I did watch them mate for a few hours.

Even before I was done, pretty much all of my birds could simply run a full speed from start to finish - the only difficulty(besides occasionally Joe) was waiting for the second-place Chocobo to actually finish, because you cannot exit the race until then. I named the Gold Chocobo "Ultima" after the spell I'm going to pair with Quadra Magic(then subsequently Mimic).

Also, Joe is a goddamned cheater whose Black Chocobo, Teioh, always has higher stats than you, and the bastard likes to troll B-rank races.

After I was done, I did the Wutai Pagoda. After getting Trine on the last two E.Skill Materia(this is the only time it's possible for these two), it took only two turns to bring Godo down: Comet2, then Mimic->Comet2.

Final Fantasy 7. Never actually bothered with Chocobo breeding before. And Godo has always been a nightmare for me; the most I had previously done was whittle him down using Deathblow(materia, not Choco/Mog summon) and hope to beat him before he beat me. But then, I probably always tried it right after the materia theft sidequest.

It's all done, even the Overseer.

According to the wiki, it also happens automatically if you have either the "Berserker" or "Childkiller" titles. Apparently, Berserker is bugged and doesn't show up in your title list.

Then again, if I remember correctly that's canon anyway.

I didn't have neither traits, though "Buffout Craving/Addiction" used the description for the Berserker trait, for some reason. Then again, my game was apparently somewhat cursed, with me finding a Force Field Switcher: an item that has been cut out of the game.

My Main Character's Raven took an AC20 to the head.  Fortunately after the mechanics finished hosing out the cockpit they found her in the drain trap. (because the MC is immortal)

Maybe instead of only using mechs that look cool I should start using some with some armor.

Modded Battletech

[Sirus]

Are we sure that's an own?

[Greiger]

...Totally wrong thread.  But I'm calling it an own because clearly my ship's drain traps are the Lazarus machine.

Defeated Nod by selling their buildings.

I use an APC to explore, because it is tougher than the Hum-vees and find out, that it can drive straight into the Nod base before being destroyed.

I load the next APC with 2 engineers, capture Nod refinery. They destroy it and build a new one.
Another APC with 2 engineers. This time Nod refinery and Airstrip are captured. I order myself a light tank through the Airstrip, Nod destroy the Airstrip, the Refinery and the tank, they build new ones. At this point, they have 3 harvesters.

So I wise up to their rebuilding, send another APC, this time with 3 engineers. I capture their Construction Yard and 2 Tiberium Silos, then sell the silos, build myself a Refinery and then sell the construction yard. Next APC expedition captures their Refinery and remaining silos, selling it all.

Now, the Nod have no money and can only get more by selling their stuff. I hunt down their units, then send my grenadiers to destroy Nod guard towers.
But the Nod, rather than letting the towers be destroyed sell them and train rocketeers for the money. They also buy a light tank. This did not help them much though. I destroy their hand, then have engineers take their airstrip and powerplants, while grenadiers destroy other buildings and hum-vees destroy the harvesters.

Command&Conquer, GDI mission 5

[Telgin]

That's a pretty clever strategy that I never really tried to employ in the first game, but occasionally tried in later games.  In Red Alert 2 the AI players even try it on you sometimes as an early game rush in multiplayer.

Something to keep in mind about this strategy for later missions though: if the enemy has multiple construction yards, make sure you steal or destroy all of them in quick succession.  They can build new construction yards without MCVs if they have a construction yard at all.  I learned that the hard way in the last GDI mission.

[Jopax]

I also remember RA2 AI usually walling in their MCV fairly quickly to protect against such a strategy. I also remember copying it fairly quickly after getting engi rushed a couple of times XD

[Teneb]

Finished Star Wars: Republic Commando on hard. The bridge section was pretty hellish, as was the Dwarf Spider Droid gauntlet at the very end.

[EnigmaticHat]

Nice!  No man left behind

Had a pretty decent session last night. TR started with a minor population deficiency and maybe 20% of the continent. I logged in with about an hour(my alert timer has been broken for years through multiple reinstalls, so that's not 100% accurate) left on the VS-initiated alert.

Finally got my graphics settings to the point where everything doesn't look like complete ass yet still runs smoothly. They also seem to have fix the severe server lag on Emerald. Spent about half the alert on a single life in a Mosquito, raining death in support of capturing multiple VS bases. This was on Hossin, which is generally a bad continent for air-play. Finally died to some asshole NC pilot who pops up out of nowhere far from the TR-NC front and kills me in about a second.

A continued ground push extended TR control to over 50% of the map. The VS finally rallied and launched an attack on Cairn Station. It was too little too late. Despite typical VS tactics, they couldn't even retake this one base before we win the alert and some asshole friendly medic shoots me in the head.

Planetside 2.

[Jopax]

Finally managed to beat the bloody Hydra, tho sadly I didn't make it trough to the elysium boss afterwards. Still, the build was pretty goddamn strong, having upgraded my rail so it's a single shot sniper of sorts and grabbing some boons from Artemis, Athena, Ares and Aphrodite (funny how their names all start with an a :V). Artemis gave me crits and a bunch of ammo for my cast, which, thanks to Ares was a blade vortex that pulled enemies in while doing damage and wandering around the arena. Aphrodite made my primary reduce enemy damage, which came in pretty handy while Athena was probably the biggest of them all, giving me reflection on dashes as well as making my giant ass AoE special attack deal more damage and reflect any attacks caught in the blast at the time.

Hades, damn great game that, despite still being unfinished. Has a brilliant way of making you feel both broken strong when you get lucky with some of the boons and upgrades while at the same time making you stay on your toes, otherwise you'll get murderized by swarms of nasties fairly quickly.
