I had just bought a Anti-Material Rifle from Vendotron, along with a set of explosive, incendiary, armor piercing, and of course normal ammunition. Followed by Rose of Sharon Cassidy, and ED-E (Eyebot Duraframe Subject E). Anxious to use my new weapon, I make my way to camp searchlight, intending to blow some holes in the NCR troops outside the town. Having done this thing before (Helios One, must have been some others but I forgot them) the NCR was already pretty pissed at me. In an attempt to half my spree of bloody, needless, destruction, they send a squad of NCR rangers to take me out. Thankfully, this was the first time I pissed them off enough to make them do this, so all I got was a talking to and a "If you keep fucking with us, three days later, we are gunna blow your ass up" speach.

Now, being eager to try out my new rifle, and seeing as they had just insulted me, I decided instead of waiting the three days to go grab better weapons and armor so I could take them on, I would kill them now. I ove 50 or so meters back, tell my companions to wait there, and pull out the Anti-Material rifle. Loading it will explosive ammo, in order to both penetrate their armor and make my kills look spectacular, I take aim at the Ranger that delivered the speach. Despite my character being grossly unable to use the weapon (Guns skill  of 25 vs requirement of 100), I one shot sneak-attack-critical'ed the Ranger.

Turns out she was the weak one. Two NCR veteran Rangers, alerted to the attack, begin approaching my position. I take aim at the closest one and fire. He goes down after almost 10 shots, straight to the chest . The next guy only takes 5, and by that time his buddy is just appearing over a hill nearby. Thankfully he was wearing some pretty shity armor, since he went down in only two shots. One of them was appearently deef, as he missed out on the entire thing (despite only being around 25 meters away) and just stood there until I one shoot him. 

Grining from ear-to-ear, I proceed to massacre the NCR garrison at Camp Searchlight. It was small, numbering only 15 men, and not very challenging, being composed of basic troopers and one sergent, but entertaining. You should have seen those bodies go flying. My favorite was when a trooper was standing right next to a ledge. Sent him sailing ten feet, right over it.

I was playing Kingmaker with my dad and my dad's firend. Started with 2 nobles weak nobles, slightly bolstered by the other cards, one in the north and one in Wales. Grabbed all but one of the Yorkists, the other sat in Calias. MY dad was smashed by his friend and i started gaining a few nobles, my power in the North grew substationally over the next few turns as the 2 beat the living shit out of each other. I was going to make my move but then a peasent rebellion moved a key character south. A few skirmishes with the remnents of my dads and his friends forces in London I seized a few ships, and went towards Calias, he then died of plauge.
My dad is hidding with the remnants of his forces in the south. I have about 3/4 of my force in the north the rest scattered in the south. I hold the Yorkists my dads friend holds the Lancasters. Cue Lord hasting entering the fray on my side. He and his ten men leave his castle held by the enemy. He strikes with all his force. He fights to the end killing a lord he loses but i use a kings pardon to save him.
It was getting late, around 11, so it needs to be finished. With the help of the roads and some free move cards all my forces converge on the location. I win only just slaughtering all of these nobles, and the pretenders to the throne.
I hold all of the Yorkists, the Red Roses are dead, and my dad has 2 lords hiding in a castle, with his freind having 2 in London. They conceede the game.

I've been kicking a good amount of ass in Battlefield: Play4Free. I think I'm getting a hang of the credits system, and renting shotguns every chance I get. It's hilarious to see these delicate snowflakes complain about shotgun use and try to get them banned/nerfed.

This isn't Call of Duty, squirt. If bunny-hopping and spray-and-pray is your entire strategy, you're going to get assraped by shotguns every time. Plant yourself, keep your distance, and use short bursts.

Playing Just Cause 2. Friend of mine told me about a really huge military cargo plane, biggest plane in the game, so I figure I'll go see what it can carry.

Turns out that if you hijack it as it spawns and bring it a little way down the runway, another will spawn.

I tethered the two together and got in the first one.

The Cargo Plane Train, as I have thus dubbed it, actually flew. So much victory music in my head you have NO IDEA.

Spoiler does /not/ contain image of the train, because forum does not like Steam screenshots, I guess. Spoiler is no longer existing.

I got annoyed because I died 4 times in a row as an Engineer, and I decided to play as a Spy. I used my Cloak and Dagger to hide in corners and then strike with my knife that I affectionately named "Spine Impaler" or my Enforcer. I didn't really use my disguise kit, but I racked up about 7-8 kills. And didn't die.

Started a terror mission in a warehouse  I send my sword guy down to the lower floor first, planning on him being pointman for the squad that will clear the lower floors.  Instead he goes down the lift, opens the door and comes face to face with 3 anthropods bunched up 1 tile away.  He slices them all new ventilation holes and I'm selecting another agent from his squad to run down and start collecting up brainsucker pods so they don't hatch, when...

'All enemies are dead or unconscious, You win'

1 agent, 1 power sword, about 55 Time units.  One cleared terror mission.  Woot!  Though I'm sure RNG karma is going to come back and bite me in the ass very soon.

Stood on top of a siege tower. As ran towards the ramp as it dropped, which somehow catapulted me to the top of their keep, allowing me to kill the half a dozen archers, safely behind the rest of their troops on the wall. Begin asskicking their reinforcements from behind as my troops were asskicking from the front. When I finally met up with them after a whole bunch of asskicking, much brofisting was had.

Stupid HRE. All cocky after the last war about 1-3 years before this one ended when my claimant died. They thought they had taken all the fight out of me in that war, so they declared war again shortly afterwards.

Well, they made a serious mistake declaring war on Bavaria. I pretty much single-handedly took on the HRE who had roughly 50% more troops than I did, kicked him around so hard that Saxony with 50% of MY strength declared war and WON, and I also won.

After fighting brutal wars with France and my ally Burgundy to white peace after white peace, we finally got one on them.
With the income to support twice my forcelimits in troops, I aided Burgundy (now HRE) in destroying all of the French deathstacks. Soon enough, they crumbled, and I managed to reclaim Maine for the glory of Brittany, from a defensive war that I wasn't even the leader of.

Morale is a critical thing. At the start, they still had at least 15k troops over us, and a godly general king (when DOESN'T France have a god-king with 8+ in every stat?). That lead dropped fast after several stacks of theirs evaporated due to zero morale and some conveniently placed troops of mine. Their king even died during the war.

Needless to say, it was pretty intense. Required quite a bit of strategy to really click.

It was a hell of a bloody fight... My three allies were odd sorts, totally mismatched and individually outgunned. One was a tribal with a bone through his nose, he had a sub-machine gun that he always fired on full auto regardless of the circumstance. Rat bites him? Go full auto. Allies in the way of target? Go full auto. Hopelessly out matched by mutant chameleons with razor sharp teeth and talons? Go. Full. Auto.  The middle man (bought from slavers) was a fat trader-slash-repairman who whined incessantly if he got a shot even a little. He used a sniper rifle but had the unusual tendency to run up to point blank range before firing, usually forcing him into a situation that was way over his bald head. The last was an aging gunslinger/barkeep with a heart condition who used the fourth wall as his own personal crutch. Despite being grey headed, plagued by chest pains, and occasionally crotchety as all, he was a damn fine shot with the automatic shotgun that I'd managed to scrounge up for him. That left myself; powered armored, grave-robbing, champion of the wasteland, and a part time gigolo who happened to be carrying enough advanced weaponry to put a dozen new craters in the moon.

The enemy? Eight robed Scientology wannabes armed with everything from caseless assault rifles to plasma grenades, though their greatest weapon by far was the irritatingly peppy slogans they kept spouting during battle. Four guards armed with FN Fal assault rifles and decked out in full body armor were also stationed in the room, with another four out in the hall who, of course, were nosy bastards and wanted to investigate the sound of a prolonged gun battle in the lunch room. Then there was the leader of Scientology wannabes... I honestly never got his name before I started shooting, everyone just kept referring to him as AHS-9. Topping it off was a pair of porn stars who were advertising the "Hubology" to the wannabes.

To roll that back,

A Power armored wastelander with a penchant for buggering
A Tribal with no concept of friendly fire
A Fat man with a sniper rifle that he used like a melee weapon
And an old, sickly barman with an automatic shotgun

Vs.

8 Armed Hubologists (Scientologists)
4+4 Armed and Armored guards
1 Leader of the Hubologists
And 2 porn stars

We were outnumbered worse than four-to-one, but we gave them hell. The pornstars went down first (Entendre...), cut down by my own assault fire. The Hubologists, despite being heavily armed, had no clue how to use their weapons. Two of them attempted to throw grenades, succeeding only in killing one of their own and heavily injuring another in the first volley. They were eventually gunned down by the Tribal and the Barman, caught in a crossfire of automatic weapons. The security guards were trouble, wearing body armor and actually having a decent knowledge of how to use their own weapons. They went down to a series of precisely aimed shots from my gauss rifle, striking at their unarmored eyes when possible.

The leader of the Hubologists died like a pansy. He attempted to flee the scene but accidentally ended up stepping in front of one of his own trigger happy hall guards, the guard in question promptly removed a chunk of his ribcage and then proceeded to shoot through him.

It was long, gruesome, and I lost count of the number of bodies that got hopelessly mangled by automatic weapons fire. The barman was almost dead, the trader was bitching about a couple of boo-boos, and my leg was shattered, but we were the only ones left standing.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)


I remember that fight. Let me think... I was wearing advanced power armor when I first walked into AHS-9's room and critical-hit the nearest guard with my sniper rifle. Cassidy, decked out in regular PA from the Brotherhood, mowed down the big boss himself with a Pancor Jackhammer. Sulik charged down the hall with a super sledge to meet the onslaught of poorly-armed Hubologists, and Goris followed suit. Myron ran away (the little wimp he is). While Goris and Sulik bashed their way through the hall of Hubologist acolytes (and the totally-not-real-celebrities), Cassidy and I finished off the guards on our side of the brawl before marching forward to aid our melee brethren. Once we defeated this sector of the base, we continued along, our combined strength dropping the pitiful guards like flies. I blew up the forcefields with some of the dynamite I had stashed on Goris (how does he carry it anyway), and proceeded to massacre the Hubologists standing outside. So I go back to Ken Lee, he gives me access to the computer, and I look at it for a while before leaving. And guess what? The goddamn Chinatowners still hate me. But they've got good merchants, so I'm not gonna fight.

To recap:

An advanced-power-armored tribal with an overdeveloped trigger finger.
A power-armored old man with a blood-splattering automatic shotgun.
A bone-nosed wacko in combat armor with some kind of pseudoscientific hammer.
An albino intelligent mutant lizard with a robe.
(A teenage asshole who did nothing to help)

v.

The same as mentioned above.

I was playing on rayne's water fun time.

We had made a epic tower, that was really the kind of tower you get when you build a tower higher and higher to make sure catas and archers cant hit you.
Everybody was hesitant to go over the water, because its water. But people did it.
I was mainly buying kegs and then jumping in the catapult with them, so i could explode their tower bit by bit.
Eventually we did a HUGE rush, and collapsed their only remaining tower.
We won that game epicly. Only a minute was left when we won.
I love unlimited lives so much <3

Picture so you get the feel of it:

20 tiles below is water.
We collapsed that enemy part first, and then we collapsed the rest of the tower.

Ah yes, Fallout 2. Many fond memories. Especially the one where i accidentally punched out half a guys ribcage because he tried to barfight me (instant kill critical). I actually had to savescum multiple times just to avoid getting the entirety of NCR on my ass for accidental murder. Not that i couldn't have taken them, every single one of my punches back then had a 20% chance of instantly killing any human (hence the accidental part), possibly even more so when actually aimed. The trick? Slayer perk (unarmed attacks ALWAYS crit) + Better Criticals perk, along with a shitload of Unarmed skill. Just to give you an idea of how ridiculously powerful this guy was, he punched out (read: killed) super mutants and deathclaws with his fists just because brass knuckles and such (read: mega power fist) didn't cause knockback. Also the fact that my punches only cost 2 AP when i had 10 was pretty neat. So if i used my mega power fist, that's 5 insanely powerful falcon punches heading for your eyeballs every round, each of them having a chance to just flat out kill you, while the rest just cause ridiculous damage. Ranged weapons? No problems, Advanced Power Armor (MKII possibly). If actually dangerous guns are present, they just get hosed over by my Vindicator.

Also more recently me and my bro blew through a Silver challenge with no deaths on our side.
