[Red October1984]

Original IL-2



I'm flying my BF109 in formation. We are going on a fighter sweep. We get to the target area and some of those Russian Biplanes show up. (Dont remember what those are) So we break formation and go. My career is well along. Got medals and promotions and stuff. Alright, going after my prey. Red One flies in a big loop and Red 4 is going in a loop the opposite way. I manage to get Red One with my cannon. I swear, Red 4 fired ONE BULLET right through the cockpit glass. Nice little hole and everything. My pilot has died. I sit and watch as my engine overheats and dies and my beautiful 109 drops like a rock. Red 4 got lucky. He came out of that loop firing too late and one fricking bullet rips thru my cockpit.

Once again, as in every patrol so far, I have dived to avoid being sunk by some two-bit ship with a few guns on. Then, without any warning at all, I was depth-charged by a destroyer ( or maybe that two-bit ship had DC racks) and a charge landed really damn close to my submarine. The thing explodes about 30 feet away, doing severe damage to the sub, but (crucially) doesn't sink it. The ship revs up and pulls away, circling around as I dive to 100-or-so metres. He charges me again, and I pull hard to starboard and get away. The ship follows me for the next, well god knows. He brings along mates (three Hunt destroyers) and then takes turns at trying to sink my poor little ship. I already have 18 dead. Yes. You saw that correctly, EIGHTEEN DEAD. I lose another 5 wounded and 2 dead, with one wounded being my Navigator. So now, I have to rely on someone totally incompetent for a Navigator.
I finally get away from these guys by using a lot of decoys, and I get back into Wilhelmshafen. A bit too fast, it seems, as my boat is unable to stop in time and crashes headlong into the harbour, almost wrecking it. That's the last time I try and get back safely
23 dead, 15 injured. Not a great start to the war....

Mega Man X

Fighting the penguin boss.

Two hits away from victory and he lands on me killing me. Respawn at the check point, one hit away from victory and... HE LANDS ON ME KILLING ME.

X3 AI, 'nuff said.

Crysis(The PSN version).
I'm playing the game on Delta or whatever the higher difficulty is called(not sure if it's the Highest).

I'm on the beach where you have to get past the armored soldiers right after disabling the jammer(very early in). I'm taking out soldiers predator style(de-cloaking, taking shots, and then recloaking). The enemies fire in random directions out of fear. I kill everyone but the guy on the MG in the hummer copycat. I sneak behind the hummer, put a couple rounds into the gas tank on the back and wait for it to explode. It catches on fire, but the fire goes out. The guy hops out and runs away from it. I shoot the tank a few more times hoping it'll go while he's in the blast radius, but nothing happens.

Perplexed I approach the vehicle. I come around the side to fire at him while he's still running away. He turns around, shoots at me, and kills me.

I turned off the game.

Although I'm thankful the truck didn't explode with me next to it, had it, I would've probably rage quit and then deleted the game.



In terms of the PSN(XBLA) version(s) both systems can handle Crysis, however EA/Crytek decided to make the game downloadable instead of a full disk. So the files are only like 3gigs. Which results in lower quality textures, and a shortened view distance(was noticible wihle I was aiming at someone from a distance, they'd come in and out of "focus" making it hard to aim). If they had made it a full disc version, or even a bigger file, the game would be on par with a PC on medium.

Also, my PC CPU and GPU can handle Crysis on high. My internal soundcard however, cant handle Crysis at all, so the sound is glitchy which makes me not want to play it on the PC.

That IL-2 1946 moment when the AAA defenses get lucky and tear off an engine.

I got trollfaced earlier.

I love it when you are playing a 2 vs 2 and your partner has the same guild tag as your opponents.

Yeah... So fun, but hey looks good on their stats.

See why I avoid multiplayer anything now?

Way too many guilds, cheats, wallhacks, auto aimers, etc, to make it worth my time

edit, though I am getting one thing they are not, sex... (I do not even have to blow her up first) Losers.

Anyone like SC2?

[Cybermat47]

When, in SH5, I order a crash dive to 70 metres and the boat goes to 328 metres.

[soopaman2]

LOL, my favorite is when you try to level off, and your sub thinks it is tied to someone the mafia clipped and goes to the bottom.

SH3-4-5 all gave me one of those, but I suck so it could be me.

I accelerate and even blow tanks, yet I sink like a brick.

I figured out why it happens though.

God most likely hates you (me,us).

Or Bernard was on the wheel.

Xenonauts

Had my first terror mission and uh.. well it could've gone a bit better.

The first 4-5 turns went ok, secured the area around the Chinook and killed few
aliens in the process. Started to move down the street with two 4-man teams,
seemed clear to me. I continue on, checking every corner as I go...
except for one, which I forgot.

I end the turn and, as they say, **** hit the fan. Turns out there were 2 Androns
behind the corner I failed to check. And a third one came into view from front
left. Long story short: 4 turns later, out of the 8 soldiers + the Ferret AC, only
one was alive. All because of a small mistake I made.

And I loved it!

Getting an ace to five straight flush / wheel in 7 stud 8.

And getting quartered by a 2-6 straight flush / wheel.


Sigh.

[Oberon]

Ah yes, yes, that reminds me.

Forgotten Hope 2

Can't recall the map but it was Brits vs Italians. I had a little Vickers tank, and I'd provided cover for the infantry to invade the second flag, dropping smoke shells for them so the Italians MGs couldn't gun them down.
I caught a glancing hit from a distant AT gun so I pulled behind a building at the second flag (which had now been captured) to repair it. Jumped out and repaired, and then noticed a mine which a previous engineer had kindly marked with a flag. I got the metal detector out and I was about to try and disarm the mine when some...idiot...jumped into my Vickers and drove forward and over the mine, which exploded, killing us both.

Skyrim

I'm in the fight against the first dragon you encounter using my sneaky character. I'm two shots away from killing it, but low on health. I go to open the item menu to heal, and realize it's not opening. The bastard bites unto me, and then tosses my limp body aside.

:h aha:

Funny cuz it wasn't me this time. I play Skyrim on Xbox and when the game freezes right before I die, it leaves just enough time for me to do nothing.
