YOUR MOST TRIUMPHANT GAMING MOMENTS

[Rho Aias VII]

One fateful night, I sat down in front of my old mangy laptop and opened it, deciding to blast straight into a Command & Conquer game. Out of insanity, I pit myself against three of the hardest Difficulty AI, who were on the same team, on a tiny map. I played as Nod, and they were two GDI's and another Nod.
I got owned.

... What, did you think I was gonna come out with a victory? That ain't possible, if anything, it's amazing how quickly my base got swarmed, despite my insta-defenses and massive army. Seriously.
I played so hard to defend my assets.
It took them 14-something minutes to take me down.
That was my best record.

Best Black Hawk Down (for PC) Moments:

1. Nighttime map, I was in a tower high above the map (high enough people were little more than dots on the ground), and I was using a CAR15/M203 assault rifle w/grenade launcher combo, using the platform that was way up off the ground holding up the tower as a funnel-type system, since all the pathways leading up to the platform was visible. It had been quiet for a bit and as I looked out, I saw a tiny dot moving away from the battleground below away from the main map. I had 1 M203 grenade left, and I looked at the guy, my gun, the guy, my gun, then decided 'oh what the hell'. Now, here's the thing; with the M203 on this game you do have to aim up to allow for gravity. The terrain was rocky so if I missed by a little bit it would've hit a hill instead of him. I fired the shot, and in the amount of time it took me to switch to binoculars, I saw as it struck the ground in front of him and killed him. Best shot I ever made.

2. After learning from the best knife fighter on the game, me and him went outside the city we were fighting in to the warehouses where we thought nobody was and had a knifefight. After several moments of fighting, I noticed every single one of my teammates was visible on my map. When I mentioned this to him, we stopped and looked around. Lining the rooftops and alleyways were our teammates, who had gotten so bored they watched us fight. Every. Single. Teammate. Both mine, and his. Talk about an eye-opener.

3. Me and same guy having a knife fight on a mine-field in the fire-zone where everyone was shooting at us from nearly every direction. We managed to go 15 minutes without anyone besides ourselves killing each other.

4. Sitting in an abandoned building at 2am, with no action happening, then a guy tried coming up the stairs and ran into my claymore mine. Made him piss himself.

5. Finally got pissed when my team base was being raped by a sniper on opposite side of the map, ran and got on the .50cal in a humvee, and shot the sniper repeatedly.

6. Agreed knife fight by both teams, and one guy on the other team decided to break said rules. I spent the entire hour and twenty minutes killing him with my knife, always hunting him down and killing him. Got over 60 kills doing that.

7. Roof-top chase. Some guy was chasing me across the rooftops on one of the rare maps that has them close enough, and then I saw that the jump in front of me a ways ahead was too far. Looked left and saw a Blackhawk Helicopter with both doors open, and I ran, jumped, landed in the chopper and jumped out on the building on the other side of it. Guy behind me failed and fell to his death.

8. Was doing a tunnel map and was finally pushing the other team back to their base. Got shot, but a medic healed me. Now, when a medic heals you, that means you can revive yourself at any point after that. You don't necessarily revive right away. And I noticed my team was being pushed back again, so I waited. When the other team had pushed mine nearly all the way back to our base, I revived and killed the entire opposing team from behind with my knife.

9. Suicide Run That Didn't Work. Was in a map where a tunnel connected the top floors of two buildings. Was up there, defending the tunnel and ran out to just 1 grenade. So I pulled a kamikaze move; I ran into incoming fire and dropped the grenade in their midst. Problem is; I kept going after the grenade drop and went downstairs two floors before it went off, then I got stuck in their building for nearly a minute, then ran back to my building and refilled on ammo.

10. Pinned Down. Was in some alleyways, trying to kill a guy on a minigun emplacement and managed to get pinned down. Enemies were circling from the rear and the only way to go was into the minigun's line of fire. Deciding to be a smartass, I switched to my knife and charged the minigun. I ran over 90 yards and the gun, never ceasing fire, somehow missed every single shot until I knifed the guy, took the minigun, killed half the other team, then got shot from behind with a shotgun.

11. Alamo. We were doing a map where one team defended the building, and the other was trying to take it over. Well, for a while we did pretty good at defending it. But then the enemies got smart and realized that there was a tower close to a balcony on the floor that we were defending from so they used that, killed our people on the roof, then came down and managed to kill my teammates. Finally I was the only guy left on my team in the building, and the spawn point was in a room on the same floor I was (second where everyone else had been). So, being me, I said "REMEMBER THE ALAMO!" and this one guy said "I do. They all died." and I said "Not this time!" and managed to hold off the enemies who were attacking non-stop until my teammates respawned, then we re-took the building. We never did lose the building that time. Ah, the wonderful times...

GTA 4:

1. Managed to survive all 6 stars for over an hour using just car cheats.

2. Evaded a 6 star wanted level.

3. Synchronizing an explosion with badass music.

4. Synchronizing an entire firefight and police chase with music.

5. Taking a jump with 4 cops chasing me, and jumping the river to another island. Still trying to find that jump again, cause that was one big-ass jump.

Need for Speed Most Wanted:

1. over $10,000,000 bounty.

2. Running from cops, make a left turn UNDER a semi truck, and watching the cops pile up in a crash against the same semi.

3. Beating the chick with the mustang by .03 seconds.

4. Running from the cops, taking the jump at the stadium over a helicopter for a perfect landing on the causeway while watching a police car that was in pursuit run into the helicopter's blades and getting knocked away to be totaled.

Fear 3:

1. Was doing a slo-mo slide-kick at the same time my friend fired at the same enemy I was about to kick, and watched the three-round burst miss my head by a less than an inch. The fact that it was in slo-mo= EPIC VISUAL EFFECT.

2. Getting rushed by a crowd of enemies and unloading two uzi's into them and dropping them all before they can land a single hit on me.

3. slow-mo headshots. Gotta love them.

There was Black Ops Nazi Zombies. This one time me and my brother Kyle were playing at his house, and our buddy Thomas, and our cousin Patty were online. We formed a 4-man party to see how far we could get. We played the first level, as we are all most comfortable and skilled in that environment and setting.

I forget how far in we were exactly, something like wave 29, or 28, high-20's anyway. As most of you know, wave 29, isn't that hard, at all. but I happened to get cornered fucking around with the weapon chest, looking for a good piece. I had a rocket launcher, and my sidearm.

About 30 Zombies rushed me through the door from the lobby area into the Chest room. Kyle & Thomas were pinned down upstairs, and Patty was down on the staircase, calling for help.

I was panicking, I won't lie. Zombies give me a rush, and I buy into the whole experience easily. So I veer to the left and let a rocket go. It hit a Zombie in the chest, and nearly killed us all. I see more zombies coming, let another rocket fly toward the doorway as I'm running backwards.

By now I'm against a wall, and more Zombies are comin' through the window. So I let another rocket fly toward that door, killing another handful of meatbags. Then I pull out the pistol and veer right, cleaning out a small group of angry corpses coming in through a window.

By that time I get smacked from my left, doorway Zombies just won't let up.

I strife right, turn left and let the knife go. It hits him once and he keeps coming, so I gaffled him again across the throat. But by that time, I'm pinned into a corner. So I just let go, unload that little pistol like my life literally depends on it. A few Zombies breached my quarter, so I had to use the trusty knife more than once, which almost got me killed.

By this time I've killed about 30 Zombies easily! I'm wondering where the fuck Kyle & Tom Bomb are, so I look at kyle's screen, and he's being healed Thomas, who's being swarmed.

I'm like, "wtf bro?!"

He's shouts dramatically, "I'm down man!!" Grabs a hold of me, shaking me, "I'm down!!!!"

So, Patty is dieing, Kyle is down, and Tom is being rushed trying to heal Kyle.


I've pretty much cleared out this room, save a few strays still rushing the doorway. For some reason this wave had a raging hard on for me, 'cause about 70% of them wanted me dead.

I lob a grenade at the doorway, then run through like it with my pistol like an escaped slave, heading straight for Patty while I have a second to breathe. I reach Pat, get him on his feet again. Keep in mind, all this chaos only took about 30 seconds to a minute.

Patty is up, and I'm low on Ammo. Thomas is down next to kyle who's dieing on us. Kyle is next to me freakin' out, grabbin' on me =P as if shit ain't hard enough.

We rushed the stairway, Patty helped me kill most of the zombies, and we forced our way to the boys. Patty, having more ammo, and a better gun held off the few strays that were left in the wave while I healed Kyle. Kyle healed Thomas while I grabbed a shotgun, and we made it through the next like 10 or 12 waves by the skin of our teeth. I think we were finally taken down around wave 40, I think it was 40, could be wrong with my memory lately.

That was a pretty triumphant moment in video gaming for me. War games tend to be epic and prone to Triumphant moments.


There's also beating Halo 3 on Legendary from start to finish for the first time with my brother. That last stage, racing across the halo in a Hog, Kyle's got the wheel, I'm on the 50. cal... Epic.

That was a nice moment too.

[Repent!]

My most triumphant moment came not from video games, but from a handful of d10's and a little bit of L.A.R.P.ing.

Don't judge me.

Anyways, it was game called Scion. For those who know what that is good on you, those who don't...Google is a thing.
My character was a scion of Heimdall working as a bouncer in a bar in the French Quarter of New Orleans(post-Katrina) who's main weapon is a warhammer named Bifrost. My ST(Story Teller aka the man who makes your character's life a living hell for the duration of the campaign) created this man by the name of Brent(accessory character..small time, nothing too serious for a son of a god right?). The ST was nice enough to describe him as described him as "the owner's son's friend and I was to apply the 'kid gloves' policy to anything he did." Which I was kinda peeved at, but could make it work, that is until Brent threw a woman across a pool table for not positively responding to his carnal advances.....longways. Not only at that point did my character want to give Brent a close-up of his entrails, I the person playing the character wanted to do the same. The other player's character saw this happening in the bar and decided to throw a hex on Brent....and botches the die roll, which long story short, eventually leads to Brent's "death" and a small scale L4D2 situation at the hospital (FYI botches make epic failures look horribly insignificant in comparison).

So after clawing through the zombies and a chimera monster made completely out of organs and bones(it was messy), we reach Brent who is now full blown Zombie and at the center of this ENTIRE SNAFU on top of the hospital. So once I got free reign, I merely settled in, squared off my shoulders, and swung like I was teeing off at the driving range with the hammer, shattering the body of Brent, thus killing the source of magic that was causing the coming apocalypse and saved New Orleans.

LIKE A BOSS.

Judgement successful.

So this one time I was playing Tetris- Oh wait, I've never won at that game.


Well, I don't mean to brag, but I'm a pretty good fish catcher at Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Plus, I could probably beat you at Just Dance 3.

*coughs* Yep.

This kid should be shot in the face with a beanbag in slow motion.

EDIT: Don't me wrong, I'm not dissing the game, or people who play, and I don't condone the "ULTRA GAY" comment in the video title, it's hilarious, and I'm sure he's a great guy...

But this is probably this kid's most triumphant moment in life, let alone gaming.

And don't tell me you can't picture him being shot in the face with a beanbag in slow motion, OR that it's not even remotely funny.

Anyone getting shot in the face with a beanbag is funny. I mean, if Tosh.0 has taught us anything, it's that people getting hurt is a great source of humor

Some of my top moments in gaming!

I was playing Godzilla Unleashed, and I went into brawl mode, and went me, a shitty little MOGUERA against 3 powerful destroyers, 15 minutes later they lay dead on the ground, my robot running around, barely a single scratch.

On minecraft, I once made a new survival world, there were only 3 tiny islands, 2 trees, some grass, no animals, and a lot of monsters. With no animals AT ALL, I got a diamond sword, a large base, a diamond pickaxe, 3 stacks of iron ingots, an encanting table, all enchanted gear, and I killed so many spiders I had enough string to make 10 paintings, and I didn't die once. WITH NO ANIMALS!!

Skyrim, an awesome game, and one of my best moments was when I was raiding a vampire base, first vampire, had wuuthrad through his skull before he saw me, next one, charged at me, only to be swept off of his feet and die falling down, there were a few others there, I charged and chopped the head off of the first vampire, then killed the other in an instant. By now I was near the master chamber. Two vampires charge, winning only some strange life sapping glow on them, they then ran up to me from behind, to be killed in pain. Now I was at the main chamber, use marked for death on the master vampire, kill the first one, charge the second, then do a sprinting critical hit power attck, dealing over 300 damage to the master vampire. That was fun.

Lets see, that's all.

Biggest success... I was role-playing on a RP server in GTA San Andreas multiplayer and my character, a lone bad-ass with an AK47 crossed the boss of the biggest streetgang in the city. Now, that game is not like text role-play where people aim to create better scenarios, there it's like real life - everybody just wants to win...

There was about ten players armed to teeth after my dude. So when I tracked the boss of the gang and blew the living shxt out of him with the AK47 while he was handling business in front of his gang property, I pretty much check-mated the whole thing and felt like a baws.

La happy fin.

My biggest success, mentoring at minecraft:

One of my cousins came over, and he wanted to play minecraft, now, he didn't even know how to make sticks, and with my advice,(no controlling it, just help) in half an hour he was fully kitted in full iron armour with half a stack of iron to spare, he was killing monsters and nothing could hurt him. That was, until he found it. He couldn't hit it, it's large black mass everywhere but nowhere at once, it was the most terryfying thing I've ever seen on minecraft.
