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.

Decided to put on two cheats -evil cars and car mass hole- just for fun, and see if I can make it across the freeway alive. I was in a Quota, with hilarious results; I was missing almost every car. Unfortunately, an SUV rammed me, the driver was windshield cannoned out of the car, into mine and the result was an explosion. :down:

Playing ArmA2, mission where you're doing COIN ops. Finally locate the insurgent camp on the UAV. Try and kill armor using the Hellfires and the thing is like riding a unicycle on crack.. can't hit anything. So I call in an anti-armor artillery barrage... nothing. Go in along with another team. Other team promptly gets slaughtered by T72 and BMPs.. I go in, chopper gets shot down. :/\\!! :/\\!!

Oh.. and to top it off? Corrupt save, have to go back and redo 4 hours worth of objectives and snooping.

Landing a Skyranger at a UFO, mustering the team up, and then realising that you've either a) forgotten to replace the casualties from the last mission and you only have two team members or b) forgotten to put more ammo on the Skyranger so the team members all have rifles with nothing in them.

A new sc2 season has started so it's always good to play a few 'relaxing' team games in the evening.
Queued up for a game, game found, here we go.
Me (terran) and ally (protoss aka Imba/OP toss) vs 2x terran
So I sent an SCV for a scout, saw 2x gas which meant that our enemies wouldn't be pushing fast.
I made a factory for the usual tanks for a defense line with a plan to contain/concave them with marines/tanks/vikings (since they walled-up at the ramp)
My ally appeared to be a top shelf tard, playing the most suck-ballz strategy against 2 terrans, that is late (actually very late) void rays.
I said "OK", nvm.
I made a scan to see one of them was making marauders+marines (oh yes, that's why he needed gas) and the other guy was making thors.
Thors - well, they suck. The are easily countered by tanks and marauders so I switched to maraduers plus still pumping tanks.
After I gathered quite a few tanks and marauders I pushed (without my tardish ally bcoz at the beginning of the game I hadn't said "hi" for his "hi" so I felt that asking this idiot for any help would be just below my level and would hurt me ego)Anyways...
I pushed really hard, destroyed 2 supply depots, addons for barrack and a few units.
Since I had a surplus of minerals I decided to make 3 (three, yeah - LOL) additional command centers (expos) just to be on the safe side. I thought that my ally would finally move his ...units to join the contain I put on their base.
But he didn't.
I established 3 new expos, turned two of them into planetary fortresses (a command center which shoots a pretty strong cannon).
As I said before, my ally didn't help me so their counter-attack crushed the contain at the ramp and the things were looking pretty nasty. A weak defense of my main, no units at the expos (only PFs).
They pushed me back and went straight into the other side of the map where I had hidden my bases.
They attacked, SCV for repairs!!!!!!!!11111one
Bummer.
First expo went down.
They spotted the second expo.SCV for repairs!!!!!!!!11111one
Bummer. Marines and marauders+thors crushed it.
I saved the third expo since it was an orbital command (it cannot shoot but it can be lifted).
Battle status: we are %***% up.
No expos, minerals and gas in the main almost depleted. Lots of enemy units taking control of the map.
Think, think, think.:/\\!!
:06:
:hmm2:
:hmmm:
:know:
:woot:
Time for plan B.
I knew my ally lacked motivation so I decided to give him an incentive, something which would encourage him to improve his 'game play' (:har:)
http://i48.tinypic.com/2ns1abq.jpg
:yeah::yeah::yeah:
that worked wonders, the guy improved and (probably) was very grateful for having heard such a supportive and creative hint.
Obviously we won that game due to a brilliant cooperation and team work.:up:

Kerbal Space Program

I'm trying to land a three Kerbal pod rocket on the moon. In preparation for my actual Apollo style Mun landing I'll be doing once .18 comes out.

So I come up with the Juno MK I launch vessel to launch the Heavy Land that comes with the game. After several failed attempts with getting the Juno MK I into a steady orbit, I scrap it and start on the Juno MK II. This design is less complicated but has a greater thrust to weight ratio.

I get this new design into a steady orbit, and start reading the in-game manual for the protractor mod I have installed while waiting for my burn window to approach. When.... the game freezes. :/\\!!

Jagged Alliance 2

SAM site outside Cambria.

Attacked the SAM site with 2 squads, 10 mercs in total. Approached from the west with my first squad. Cut the fence and sneaked in, spotted some enemies and opened fire. Red was injured in the engagement and I left him in a safe spot.

My other squad entered the area from the north. Engaged some enemies outside the perimeter fence. Cut through and searched for the enemy.

Got rid of most of the enemy personnel and only the big building on the south-west left to search. Killed one bad guy who was opposite the door by the wall.

Ordered Grizzly to go in... Interrupt, he was repeadetly shot. Not enough Action Points to do anything, and he's standing in the doorway. :nope:
Next turn, the enemy finish him off. :x

Decided that I didn't want to lose him with such a mistake..

Crusader Kings II.

My guy rules an independent duchy of four provinces. His wife, Duchess of Trøndelag, requests my duke's excommunication which pope grants (and right after that it appears that the said wife also got pregnant. Well, my duke is slow so I suppose he doesn't realize to be angry). And then Sweden declares war on me - along with king of Poland - and I'm only able to muster around 3000 men while Sweden is coming with an army of ten thousand men. Luckily I have only played for 150 years. This is as good time as any to lose...

Edit:

After Sweden had crushed my armies and was conquering my lands I managed to send a letter to pope asking to lift excommunication. Pope agreed to lift it, Sweden had no valid casus belli any more and I was saved!

A year later, my duke's dear wife requested again my duke's excommunication from the new pope and he granted it :/\\!!. I have a feeling that I shall speed the journey of my duke's wife's soul in to the afterlife.

EU:Rome, playing as Rome and I am sweeping the sands of North Africa with Carthage.

Take #1

Carthage has only two armies on the field, both badly beaten. Their true
strength was about 16 000 men in total. Naturally, AI doesn't know when
they are beaten, so it was throwing them at the city of Carthage, where
my 2nd and 4th Legions were waiting for them, totalling around 24 000 men at the time.

"Oh cool, this one battle, maybe two and I'm free to capture all their provin--"

*Corsica has revolted!*

"What? Oh, just 4 000 rebels, I'll just ferry the first Legion from Italy's northern
border to quickly deal with that!"

*1st Legion reached Corsica*

*The Colony of Bononia has been destroyed!*

"Huh? Oh.. just 21 000 barbarians.. well.. I got nobody in Italy to stop them,
so I'll just load the last autosave and try again!"

Take #2

"Oh, good, Corsica didn't rebel this time. Good, I can just keep the 1st here in
Bononia and get those barbarians as they come!"

*Three wins later*

"Oh come on! I keep killing them but they just wont surrender! Ok, this fourth
battle SHOULD finish them off.."

*General of the 1st Legion has died!*

"Oh fu-"

*Barbarian commander gets +2 to attack, 1st Legion wiped out*

*Rage quit*

Last night a friend and I where playing a mission that I had made. We move to attack the old outpost, he goes in a heli to scare the AI while I sniped at them from about 800 meters away. He died from getting ambushed inside the barracks so he when to the mortars to blow away any enemies while I tried taking down some who tried to get away. So he comes back and checks to see if the place is clear while I cover him, its all clear so I get up to and the instant I stood up *BANG,BANG!!* :dead:. Turned out two enemies had heard where I was firing from, flanked around and where right next to me when I stood up:doh:.

Switch to Heart beat sensor to check where in the room he is before entering...

Falcon 4 BMS
Me and Raptor were playing around with the online campaign, both of us were very rusty with flying the F-16, especially me.
During (yet another) emergency scramble to deal with aircraft egressing to our airfield, in which I saw plenty of distant contacts on the RWR but nothing within AMRAAM distance. Finally with only a third of a tank left, I decided to turn back for base, was about sixty or so miles out when I spotted three contacts, closed to ID and found two ROK F-4s chasing down a MiG-23 and killing it. Was going to join in the fun when Betty announced BINGO fuel, so throttled right back and turned back to base.
Flipped Master Arm back to safe and prepared myself to land (read crash) at the airfield which was now about thirty miles out, suddenly my RWR registers a MiG-23 on my six, I try to see how close it is (my RWR reading skills were pretty poor at that time) when suddenly a MiG-23 overshoots me about ten feet away from my cockpit.
Once I had changed my underwear I turned to chase, brought up guns and pulled the trigger...nothing happened. Dammit, Master Arm was off, flicked it back to on, and noticed two MiG-19s had also joined the fun, and I was now running on fumes.
So, there I am, 3000ft on the clock, a MiG-23 and two MiG-19s doing a merry dance around me, and no fuel in the tank.

Needless to say, it did not end well.

Lessons learnt:
1) Don't leave it to the last second to turn home
2) Second ring of RWR is lethal close
3) Use Dogfight mode
4) Don't try to out-turn a MiG-19 in an F-16
5) Leave Master Arm on until almost landing

Pulling the line prematurely when you think you have a rare fish.

For those who've never played Animal Crossing, you fish by casting in front of the fish you want to catch. The fish swims towards your bobber and nips at it. He may bite on the first nip or they may nip at it several times before biting. Larger fish are sometimes rarer.

Edit:

Those Boeing engines can be a little stubborn at times, I had an engine go up on my Accusim B-17 not long after take off, it had been giving me a few strange looks on the manifold pressure, I believe it was engine two, and then about ten minutes after wheels up, BLAM, "Engine two is on fire!" Well...damn...over to the co-pilots seat, flick the extinguisher to number two, cut the fuel, and feather the prop and back around we go.
Prop pitch is...IIRC (going from memory here) on the facing edge of the throttle/engine section, so go from the throttle sticks, and it's towards you, if you hit the tail wheel/column lock then you've gone too far.
I can see it in my minds eye, got a pretty good idea where most of the controls are...I do love my Accusim B-17. :yep: Even if I do make a mess of landing the poor girl... :oops:

Accusim B-17 for FSX I'm guessing?

My F--- Moment was probably due to my "Ooooooh what does this do?" combined with actually needing to find some controls. I know where Prop Pitch is now. I just have trouble remembering the correct sequence and remembering which one is to click at the right time.

I think I'll leave most of the flying to the A.I. and I'll be a navigator or flight engineer or something. :yeah:

The problem is that when I switch it over to A.I. control for the flight, the A.I. won't do anything. The plane just sits there. I'm not skilled enought to take off yet...so I'll be letting A.I. do all of it. :doh:

It was one of those where the plane explodes right as you bail out so your pilot is dead before he can fall to his death.

Those WOT moments when one of your teammates shoots you, hence kills you by mistakes* and pretends he did not do it, does not apologize and tells you to go to hell and stay there to cool off!

A lot off guys playing WOT talk about increased blood pressure!....:hmmm:

One of the signature of those free games to play being World Of Tanks, War Thunder and World of Planes, is the rampant level of insults flying around freely.

Many times in WOT, did I see someone interpreting an insult as a casus belli and an entire team decimating itself, shooting at each others to the great amusement of the enemy team cheering and stimulating the Canons of August dynamic.

America's Army used to be like that on Saturday nights many, many years ago!

So, EUIV.
I've been quietly settling along the east coast of the Americas, and working my way down the coast of west Africa in order to create ports for my ships to make their way to India to eat into that Indian pie for my current mission (East India Company).
I finally get down to the African cape...and it's yellow...

SPAIN?! What the hell are you doing down here?!

Fine, fine, we've got enough naval power to kick the Spanish off the cape, and since their navy is inferior to my navy, they don't stand a chance of being able to retaliate.

One small fly in the ointment that I forgot all about...

Portugal.

I was in an alliance with them, one of those royal marriage ones that pretty much has them as a permanent ally. And they have a land border with Spain...and while my navy may be top of the line...my soldiers are...

Well...maybe...maybe I can help Portugal hold its own, go and eat up all of Spains overseas colonies and accrue warscore that way?

Castilian (not Spanish) nationalists rise up everywhere after I've left, and the Portugese prove to be as adept at land warfare as I am.

So...how about some Victoria II then?

My UK is going well, nearly into the 1890s and still at 1 for prestige, and mostly 1 for military...3 for industry though and not much hope of recovering that. The German Empire has yet to form, and I've eaten most of Africa, and am setting about nomming the Transvaal and Oranje parts to complete it. My justification formation (station) in Oranje is discovered, which nets me some bad-boy, taking it to about 26, so I flog off Southern Rhodesia to take it back down to 21. Oranje is nommed in about two weeks flat, and then the usual Greek/Ottoman crisis flares up.
Normally I leave these crises alone, but with the North German Confederation fighting Austria, I decide to have a gamble and back the Ottomans, the Russians back the Greeks, and the French sit on the fence.
I offer the French a tasty tidbit of 'cutting the Russians down to size' to get them on my side, and they accept. The Russians think about things for half a week and then agree to the 'Cut Russian down to size' solution.
Pleased that the Russian development will be stalled slightly by this outcome, I receive a message that I have also gained a conquest CB on Transvaal, even better! And I didn't even have to forge one which means I shouldn't get any badboy. Then the game stuttered slightly and the screen filled up with boxes.
Half the world had just declared war on me, and the other half had just declared war on them. I looked up and saw my badboy at 31...enough to trigger the inevitable 'Wars of containment'...

http://images.wikia.com/victorious/images/a/af/22463_safe_scootaloo_animated_sweetie-belle_hearts-and-hooves-day_oh-come-on.gif

I can only presume that the 'Cut Russia down to size' had given me badboy somehow, because unless I had a forge CB on going on Transvaal that I wasn't aware of, nothing else should have sent my badboy up like that.

Either which way...

AC:New Leaf.

I'm takin part in a bug catching contest. The record holder has a bug worth 49 points, so I spend a could while shaking trees and getting stung to try and get a bee. Finally get one that's small and dull, but still worth 65 points. I'm thinking I just strolled into 1st. Nope. Someone turned in a 76 point butterfly.

GTA:V

Trying to get too a small airfield to do gun smuggling missions. First time I get side tracked by a hitch hiker, then on my way again I end up dying. The hospital I end up at is pretty close to the airfield. However the tallest mountain in the game is in between us. So I decide to go up it, and parachute down the side. I take the cable car up to the top, grab a dirt bike and attempt to jump off the side. When I bail from the dirt bike, I don't have enough time to deploy the parachute before slamming into the side of the mountain and rolling to my death. Luckily I wake up at a closer hospital. I steal a car and drive towards the airfield. I finally get to tr airfield and attempt to power slide into the entrance. I slide too wide and go through a fence and right into a gas tank. Now I'm back at the hospital.

Another time I attempted to steal from an armored truck. I kill the two guards and plant c4 on the doors and take a couple steps back. My girlfriend chirps in "Aren't you too close?". Ignoring her I push the detonator button and get my face blown off.

These wonderful things come out of nowhere.

Mass Effect 2

Took on Legion's loyalty mission before attaining Thane or Samara. Get back to the Normandy in time for Collector visit. I'm not prepared to go through the Relay, but if I don't my crew will die. I had to load a save from 2 hours prior.

Edit:I ended up having to restart from the beginning. 36 hours gone.

Oh, this thread is about stuff that happens on a regular basis. Picture this:

You are on a 14 hour flight let's say IAD-NRT, and just when you are on final, you get a scenery issue then CTD..

Even though this happened more than once to me, i still think that there is not enough room on this post to properly describe how do i feel about that so,

Hearts of Iron III + Black ICE mod

Playing as Brazil. By the end of 1939 I had conquered Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile and Bolivia.
I set my target to Peru, they have only one Victory Point: Lima, their capital.
Should be easy. I got 20 divisions (about 135k men), I can blitz them!

Right?

Yeah, right.

Through January-February of 1940 I make progress, then the 3 wide front narrows down to 2 wide because of impassable terrain.
I am a sector away from Lima, but they have massed all their troops to cover that 2 wide path.

February-July 1940, I try and try and try, but nothing works. I simply cannot break their lines.

July-September 1940, I stop attacking as my manpower is low. Instead I pull one of the Corps (2nd Mountain Corps) back and hope it lures the AI to attack the empty sector.
Of course, AI being AI, they do attack the sector.
I attack from the NE with 4th Mountain Corps and support the attack with the retreating 2nd Mountain Corps.

September-December 1940, I attack Lima with 3rd Mountain Corps. Meanwhile, 1st and 5th Mountain Corps try and succeed in breaking the enemy lines NE of Lima.

December 1940-April 1941, 4th and 2nd Mountain Corps push back the enemy, causing them heavy casualties.
1st and 5th fight their way around Lima and encircle the capital.

End of April 1941, Lima is captured by the 4th and 2nd Mountain Corps.

Peru Annexed.

Took way too long. :dead:

How is Black ICE? Does it allow a degree of flexibility in regards to ahistorical actions as one of the major powers, ie if I want to make Britain fascist can I do so?

But yes, if you want a real FUUUUUU moment from HOI, it would have to be my HOI2 game with the Historical Improvement Project mod, I invaded the Soviet Union from Hungary, which meant that as I went forward, the sectors that were captured became Hungarian. I figured that the Bitter Peace event would fix that, and besides I wasn't actually expecting to beat the Soviet Union.

I beat the Soviet Union, the one time I've ever managed to do that. The Bitter Peace event fires...and I get two large slices of Soviet wasteland with a Hungarian dagger in between...which then reverts back to Soviet control. A triangular shape from the Baltic/Poland/Hungarian border to the Urals, covering Moscow, Stalingrad, Leningrad, lost the whole bloody lot. :/\\!!

Roosevelt could hear the screaming from Berlin whilst he was touring San Francisco. :nope:

Diplomacy is still centered around the 3 sides, so no. Thouh, you can influence USA to become facist, but I thikn that was possible in vanilla?

As for BICE in general.. it crashes, a lot.

The 7.50 update promises to fix them, but no idea if/when it is coming.

So, Hearts of Iron III, mein Gott is this a detailed piece of work, but I think I'm getting the hang of the organisation of things at least. Everything will probably break down as soon as I encounter some Polish infantry, but I'm getting the idea of how to arrange the armies from Theatre down to Corps. At least I think I have.

It was during one of my browses through wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_group) that I realise that rather than an army group, what I was looking at was a theatre, so I renamed the two Ost Theatre and West Theatre respectively, then set about creating Heeresgruppe Nord, with two Corps...I found Guderian slumming it up in Kolberg with an infantry division so threw him at the Panzer Corps next door, and then I...
