Goddam Yugoslavs

6 Tank armies are tearing **** up in France, I've got 2 of them assaulting through Munich to Venice, all I need to do is push from Western Hungary into Innsbruck and the Germans will lose another capital (Berlin->Essen->Cologne->Innsbruck) AND THE *******ING YUGOSLAVS TAKE MY MAIN ROUTE OF ADVANCE

That's it, once I deal with Hitler and Mussolini they're getting their butts kicked out of the Comintern and getting annexed, as well as Bulgaria just cause I feel like it

wow-wotlk 2vs2 arena, Ruins of Lordaeron.Rate-sth like 1720- 1800 needed to get wrathful weapons.
Me (arms warrior)+holy pala vs MM hunter(with wrath bow)+holy pala.
I generally sucked at interrupting any cast, I had a bit fcked up binds, with Bash and Pummel on 5 and 6 so a bit too far away for my index finger.
The fight lasted sth like 50 minutes with hunter reviving his pet all the time(improved Revive talent, or glyph). He revived his tiger sth like 10+ times.
I was doing everything I could, almost got blisters on my fingers.
We lost.
After the arena I realized that I completely forgot about interrupts.

Space Shuttle Mission 2007:
I'm playing STS-1 via the demo until I get my Collectors Edition(what the boxed edition is called) sometime next week(10 dollars cheaper than the Digital Version, Thank you Amazon.).

I am T+1:00:00 in give or take, and I'm adjusting the shuttles Attitude to a 0 roll, 0 Yaw, and 0 Pitch. I get the Yaw, and Roll down, and I'm slowly working the Pitch to 0 from 200(going up past 360). 225... 240.. 24... *Black screen and all the lights on my computer go off.*

Shortly afterwords I realized my laptop vents were blocked by a sheet. And she overheated

I didn't save at any point. Luckily I can load from certain points, although I wont get the achievement. I'll have to replay the mission when I get my boxed edition anyways.


Edit: Skip ahead to the landing.

Coming in to land Columbia at night at Edwards Airforce Base.

It's a night landing and I have a beautiful view of the runway. Following the "ball" in and everything is perfect. Using the Numpad for control as I'm too lazy to whip out my joystick and deal with trying to calibrate it.

This is going to be a perfect landing. Until the stress(It's a pain in the ass to land a shuttle, I have a high failure rate. Hell, I have a high failure rate landing anything that doesn't land itself ) I forget that up and down are reversed and end up pushing the nose into the ground.

And thus STS-1 was an utter and complete failure, and NASA scrapped the whole plan.

How the hell does a puny country like Latvia manage to cut Leningrad off from the rest of the SU, push all the way to Viasma, take back my conquests of Estonia and Lithuania and STILL NOT GET CRUSHED BY A 4-1 CORPS RATIO

Add to that the Finns kicking my ass back and forth across the Northern Peninsula and I'm ready to start another purge

Given, I managed to finally annex the Baltic States (as well as Persia and Afghanistan), now I just need to rest my forces for a few months and I'll go back and kick those Finns across the Mannerheim line.

Oh wait.. My game just crashed.. 22 days AFTER the last save.

If you think thats bad just wait until you get to working with the RMS arm, and intercepting sats. Although landing a heavy glider like the shuttle is a challenge. SMS2007 is a great sim, I've been playing it for 2 years now. Should really go back and give it another workout

An RL FUUUU moment.

Just got to work, someone left me a note asking me to give the floor a clean, so I give it a sweep, degrease it and then start mopping it...when POP, and the lights go out.
There had been a leak earlier in the day and it tripped the light circuit, they reset it...and now, when I get into work it decides to trip and stay tripped...
Thankfully I have an arc lamp to provide some light and thank the gods that I still have mains electricity...for now...

Deus Ex 1.

I'm at the part where you have to scuttle the superfrieghter, I set off the last charge and had already reversed the bilge pumps. Making a mad run out of the ship. I get topside, over the railing, and running towards the ventilation shaft so I can escape view the roof. Start climbing the ladder... and the game freezes. It's happened twice before. Complete and total freeze that forces me to ctrl+alt+delete and end task. I don't remember when the last time I saved was either.

DCS: Black Shark

South Ossetia Pirates mission. Took me nearly 45 minutes (if not more) to fly
to the area I was tasked to start my search for the terrorist camp from. 10
minutes into the search and something struck my tail and the Kamov
spiraled towards the ground forcing me to eject.

At least the dusk provided nice scenery to fly in. (and the doors covered with nekkid girls)

Rage-quit material right there.

[Raptor1]

Never seen that happen. Axis forces are supposed to retreat at 1:1 odds or more in any case...

[Dowly]

Hehe, was a bit of an shock to put it mildly.

BTW, what's the first number in the unit icon, for example, 1-3, the second one
is MPs, and the first one is?

[Raptor1]

It's the unit's Combat Value.

[Dowly]

Ah, right. Danke.

Playing World of Tanks at 1AM and accidentally selling my StugIII that I have had for less then five minutes with experienced crew instead of my old Hetzer.
