Killed Crawmerax the Invincible for the first time. Gotta say the loot drop is a bit disappointing compared to the loot madness that is the Crimson Armory glitch.

But on the upside, I solo'd a raid boss with a Siren by constantly kiting and whittling its health down with a double anarchy smg and regenerating ammo for about 10 minutes. Not bad. Took a while but that was an intense grind.

I made a new pianist in Elona. Charisma based Juere build to match. Little girl tank pet as well.

It's fucking Freddie Mercury. A few days of questing and piano practice and I take the notoriously hard Party Time quest. No stones were cast.

Elona, of course.

Practice? How do you practice without being killed?

Freddie just doesn't give away his secrets, darling!

What...what just happened? My fingers were possessed there.

More seriously, lots of skill investment and playing for packed houses of weak, weak npcs and enemies. And a home full of pets.

*Edit: also, I'm wearing heavy glass armor and as many speed boosts as I can muster. So I'm kind of a tanky charisma build.

Almost got totally wrecked by Totem Lurantis. Had a Lv.18 Growlithe using a Z-boosted Fire Wheel(I forget the name of the Z-Move), but it didn't even take off half its HP. Then Lurantis called in Castform while using Synthesis. I had Trumbeak trying to burn through all of Synthesis' PP while getting hammered by Castform. Turns out GenVII also adds a physical version of Solar Beam called Solar Blade that Lurantis gets. Trumbeak goes down, but successfully exhausts Synthesis. I ignored Castform just in case Lurantis calls in something with Heal Pulse(having experienced that with Totem Wishiwashi ). Brionne nearly gets destroyed because I forget Lurantis is Grass-type(not even Bug-type, despite being based of a mantis), surviving solely due to Affection bonuses. Cutiefly successfully finishes off Lurantis with Silver Wind, and gains a level, then gets taken down by Castform.

Pikachu is sent out to replace Cutiefly, and paralyzes Castform with Static. I use the time to revive some of the fallen team, and switch back to Trumbeak who smacks around Castform to finish the battle.

Cutiefly starts to evolve, and since the Pokédex this game shows how many evolutionary relatives a Pokemon has, and Cutiefly only evolves once, I figure I'll just box- omfgit'ssofreakingadorable~! Ribombee also learned a pretty nifty move to go with the evolution, so I'll keep her in the party.

Pokemon Sun. In preparation for the next trial, against a Rock-type gym leader island kahuna, I've swapped out Growlithe with a Petilil I traded for. She's as omfgit'ssofreakingadorable~! as Ribombee.

That Lurantis was a freaking bastard, I'll tell you what. Wiped my party the first time, took out virtually everyone on my second attempt.

At least you have two hyper-adorable pokemon now.

Since I was on a huge fighting game kick but owned very few actual fighting games, I got Mortal Kombat XL on Steam. Yesterday I decided that I'd play online matches for the first time. I figured I'd most likely fellate phallus as I've only played one other fighting game against other humans (as opposed to AI players) which was Supa Smash Bruddas. As it turns out that I'm actually fairly average, and was even capable of beating the asses of a handfull of people. For example, right now I'm maining Cyrax Triborg since Cyrax was my favorite character in MK9, and I was challenged by a guy who played as Raiden. As soon as he challenged me I noticed that he had almost 6 times as many losses as he did wins, so I knew he probably wasn't going to be that good. Even so, his scrubbery still outshone my expectations. Literally all he did was jump and use uppercuts. And he jumped A LOT. As in he was almost never not jumping. I kept trying to attack him like I would anyone else, but just when I thought he was going to do something besides spam midair-punch-followed-by-uppercut, he would do it again. The first time I fought him I actually lost because of this.

After that, I was pissed. I began another match with him. Needless to say, the first thing he did was start jumping. I immediately responded with the EX version of Cyrax's signature air grab, which in this game causes him to jump into the air, grab his opponent tightly, fly upwards, turn upside-down, and then boost into the ground, slamming the victim's head into the ground. Since the EX version also made the opponent bounce, I was able to turn it into a combo which did a total of 30% damage. I also was able to hit him which several bombs afterwards, which I normally only use for zoning, not direct damage, but he was completely stupid when it came to avoiding them. After 2 rounds of him falling for the same shit, I finished him off with one last air-grab, which he practically walked into again, and performed one of Cyrax's brutalities where he does the normal air-grab, but slams the opponent's head into the ground so hard that it explodes. He then left the match before the "Rematch / Quit" prompt even appeared.

Mortal Kombat XL.

LOOOOOOOOOL Well done.

Hee.  I had the exact same reaction to it, too. :3

And Ribombee is now the heavy-hitter of my team.  Quiver Dance and Pollen Puff is all sorts of fun. ^_^

[Arx]

Almost took out the Four Kings first try. On NG++, with no estus and one Gold Pine. Pretty okay. Got them second time easily, since I had estus.

Dark Souls.

[Eric Blank]

Defeated that asshole daimon. 3/4 of the way through the fight all of my pawns got slaughtered, I had to slowly wittle down his health on my own. Took fucking forever.

That jerk Hau ambushed me for a Pokemon battle, giving me no chance to decline, or switch my team, or anything. He healed my team at least.

Round 1: my Hariyama vs his Raichu. It was an Alolan variant but I didn't know anything about it. I opened with Fake Out, then tried to use Knock Off in case it was holding something nasty. Well, it turns out that Alolan Raichu are psychic, and it unleashed a powerful STAB supereffective attack...and Hariyama survived with just 1 HP! Knock Off connected, was also super effective, and Raichu went down.

Round 2 was where things got messy. Hau sent out his starter, Brionne, and I countered with Petilil. Brionne got off a Bubblebeam before falling asleep, after which Petilil restored almost all of her HP with Giga Drain. She was in the middle of throwing out a Leech Seed when Hau swapped Brionne out for a Flareon of all things. The fire fox got seeded instead, and I switched in Munchlax for her Thick Fat. Leech Seed remained active, letting Munchlax easily stay in the fight long enough to crush Flareon.

Round 3 was back to Petilil vs the still-sleeping Brionne. Another Leech Seed went out, but then Brionne woke up and unleashed a Z-move! It left Petilil with less than half her HP, which might have been worrisome had Petilil not connected with a second Giga Drain which easily scored the win.

Munchlax evolved immediately following the battle

Just finished that battle myself. Yeah, Alola Raichu is Electric/Psychic, though I could have sworn at one point seeing it as Electric/Fairy.

Spoiler: It seems that Hau (click to show/hide)

picks the starter weak to yours, but he counters with an Eevolution that beats yours. Against my Water-type starter, he's got Torracat, Raichu, and Leafeon. I also suspect the reason Wicke gave him a pile of malasadas while giving you the TM for Psychic is because he already has that TM.

I've been holding off evolving Pikachu(and Growlithe) in case there's some moves that Raichu cannot learn that Pikachu can. Arcanine learns only one move(ExtremeSpeed), all the other moves are learned by Growlithe.

[Dunamisdeos]

I constructed a weapon in Space Engineers. It builds a torpedo in a tube that propels itself via a gravity drive to reach max speed in just over one second.

It can punch through 3-5 rows of solid heavy armor and obliterate anything on the other side, all without explosives. When I fired it at another ship it blew through 3 decks.

[pikachu17]

does the fact that I just got 41 lives(including continues) in sonic the hedgehog 2 count?

[Frumple]

Console 2D platformer. Genesis console 2D platformer. 99 lives or riot.

... nah, you good. I don't remember what my highs were on the old sonic games, heh.

[Akura]

Got ambushed twice by Professor Genki while doing random mission stuff. He tried to slam a newspaper box into my face with psychic powers, I shot him in the face with a .50cal shotgun(). The second time I somehow forgot to pick up the cache that dropped >_<.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Saints Row IV. For reference, in both III and IV, Professor Genki can randomly but very rarely appear around Steelport, he's very hard to kill, and drops a shitton of money when killed(not that death bothers him much). In IV, they rebalance him so that he drops less money(in III it's enough to buy just about everything), and gives him the same Zin psychic superpowers you get.

The .50cal shotgun is a (probably DLC) version of the Thumpgun, which basically fires shells that create a point-blank shotgun blast on-target. Customizing it at Friendly Fire, you can turn it into the Reynolds .50, which is essentially a really powerful, but slow and inaccurate, rifle. It occupies the shotgun slot.
