I MURDERED those destoyer escorts.  My attack starts with me firing off all my foward torpedoes.  I destroy one destroyer and damage the other, along with sinking a coastal merchant.  I had dived immidiatly after this, and was in the procces of trying to evade.  After a while I gave up, and gave the order to start reloading torpedoes.  Once I was forty seconds away from finishing hte reloading proccess, I used the hydrophone to determine the position of the destroyers, oriented my sub in the most advantegous position, and blew balast.  The moment I hit the surface I fired all torpedoes, along with manning the deck gun and flak gun.  My aft tubes blew apart a destroyer, and my foward tubes all missed (Firing at the damaged destroyer.)I ordered for 30 degrees starboard, and instructed my deck gun to start firing at weapons, while I manned the flak gun and did the same.  In sort order, even thou I took a lot of hits, I disabled the destroyer, and then sunk it.  This is the first time I've ever successfully sunk ANY destroyer.
Also, earlier in the patrol, I was just floating near the entrance to the channel between Ireland and Britain in a heavy storm and a destroyer passed a few hundred meters away.  It disappeared before I could get a firing solution thou.

I actually won a terror mission, with only one casualty! :D (And that was from friendly fire.)
My first ever good rating! Not really an own, I know, but damn does it feel like one. *happytears*
Now I just wish I could figure out how to invent some friggin' armour...

That game just has that thing where it makes you feel like a badass even if you do badly. 
And for armor I think you have to research alien alloys and stuff first.  Even thou all it really does at low levels is protect you from friendly fire.

Second game in my KV-1 after switching over to the 122-U11 derp gun, spawned in Fisherman's Bay. Naturally, first stop was immediately town, where I had help from another KV-1 with the derp. Together we cleared out half the team, including most of their heavies. Protip:When faced by 2 KVs with derp, GET AROUND A CORNER AND FLANK THEM! Staying in the open will only result in your smoldering corpse :P

Managed to also grab sniper from that game due to not missing with the 122. AT ALL. With some of the shots being more medium range!

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

End of a Dota 2 game playing as Zeus with Aghamin's Scepter and Refresher Orb. I wiped out their entire team at once.

Can't escape the heavens indeed.

Though my most recent own would be carrying as PL in a game where my teammates were considering the match hopeless because of how geared the enemy was. I'm all "Wha? Let me show you how PL does it." and murdered all 3 of their well farmed carries (even through Omniknight's ulti) before cutting their base in half. Farming multiple lanes or lanes + jungle at the same time makes for some sweet gear, and unlike their Alchemist who farmed their jungles the entire game I was still participating in team fights along the way.

I was at war with some alien gentlemen, it was all fine and dandy, tennis after a good battle, that sort of thing when apparently they thought it prudent to attack my homeworld, I mass-produced hundreds of super-battleships that destroyed any ship in their fleet with one shot. I thought: "All fine and well ole chaps, but do try to keep it down!" so they send another fleet, after being promptly destroyed I decided to strip-mine one their solar systems with my 'Harvesters', giant asteroid-miners and produce thousands of automated gunboats and frigates from these vessels which destroyed all of their worlds in that system, they have yet to attack again

Not so much a win, as a DAHAHAHA moment.

Take the pilot's seat of a hercules C-130. Friendly team loads up until we a good 20 players or so, including copilot. I've got the flightplan in my mind, I've shouted last call for a para drop--
Engines online, throttle up... Launch!
Picking up speed nicely-- Hey wait this runway is a bit damn short isn't it-- Ah, liftoff thank god.

Then I pulled up. Except, this a C-130. It's massive and I pulled up too hard.
Engines stall, Entire allied team falls into the ocean butt first.

X-COM really makes you feel like a winner when you win. Or when you only get badly beaten up.


My latest *own*? I invaded the Imagawa lands and slayed their Daimyo in battle, causing the remaining Imagawa armies and lands to turn into fragmented ronin. And throughout operation "screw Imagawa", Uesugi clan didn't lift a finger against me, despite us now sharing a sizable border in Northern Japan.
Things are going well for Oda.

I managed to make a straight 6 engine using Wiremod in Garry's Mod.
I actually achieved something :D

Played Sniper Elite V2.
The game has a nice kill cam where you see your target's body in x-ray and you see in slow motion how the bullet is messing the guy's bones and organs.
The DLC where you kill hitler.
First try, shot him in the balls.

Did you count them to check for historical accuracy?

Playing on some public servers to warm up for a highlander comp game on tf2, after 1/2 hour I was rewarded with cries of 'THAT ENGINEER IS HACKING!'  I had a kpd of 5 and pretty much always had a teleporter behind/infront of the lines.  Still got it.

So, I was playing Terror from the Deep. I was doing fantastic, shot down and destroyed a couple UFOs, had a couple extremely successful Terror missions (single digit casualties, civvie AND soldiers COMBINED) then suddenly something happens. I still have a single base, and I get this message:
An alien craft has touched down near your base.
Oh fuck.
Do I have proximity grenades? Yes, yes I do. (First thing I buy everyone round, I buy about six of them.) All my 13 or so soldiers have either a proximity grenade and a gauss pistol, or a sonic pulsar, a high explosive, and a harpoon gun (Manufacturing on gauss weaponry was slow in getting started.).

First turn begins, my men are scattered throughout the base. One guy moves, sees an alien in the Living quarters that is quite unfortunately still connected to the airlock/sub pens, and kills the alien. We toss a prox. grenade in there and back off, but one guy is inbetween the airlock and living quarters. He gets ganked by several aquatoids at the end of their turn.
Second turn, I've started stacking my soldiers up in the passageways leading into the base proper. Two chokepoints, one in the airlock, where I hide two soldiers, one with a gas cannon loaded with AP rounds, the other with a harpoon gun and grenades. The living quarters I had two soldiers with gauss pistols and prox. grenades, as well as a couple soldiers that came from the armory.
Deeper inside the base, I set up a final strongpoint in the radar station with my Lieutenant, who was wielding a gas cannon, flanked by two men with proximity grenades and gauss pistols.

The aliens stormed in, in pairs and trios, mostly aquatoids but a few calcinites as well. Most of them died to proximity grenades and other tossed explosives. One or two passed the optimal grenade range, so we shot them to death with extreme prejudice. Finally I defeated them completely, with (drumroll) a SINGLE LOSS. ONE.

I'll just let this picture speak for itself:


Funny note is that I didn't actually destroy that Jagdpanzer 4 with my 122, he tried to ram me after I took away most of his health with my gun. Needless to say, he blew up without doing any damage at all(an IS is quite a bit heavier than a JP4!)

That sounds like something I would do in such a game. :P
