Post your recent video game accomplishments.

Man, what is with all these new games having terrible PC optimization? I am right there with you, man.

Fuckin' Uplay.

Got to day 48 on This War of Mine. It ended with my runner getting shot and my only other person succumbing to disease on the same night. Quite tragic, of course, but I was doing really well and with only minimal crimes against humanity, so it's sort of an achievement. :P

Unlocked the north of Kyrat in Far Cry 4, and hammered through some of the radio towers and strongholds there. Difficulty cranked right up, though.

Just beat Red Faction, on normal difficulty.

For the most part it was a decent game, with a feel much like Half-Life. However, there were some parts that just felt completely cheap, especially towards the end. The mission with the ten-minute time limit was pretty annoying, the railguns and fusion rockets the mercenaries bring out later on make things highly frustrating (literally no amount of health and armor would let me survive even one hit from a railgun; it was a matter of dodge or die for every single shot), and although none of the bosses were excessively hard to beat, the stupid bomb defusing minigame was just ridiculous. Also, throughout the game there were far fewer opportunities to make use of the GeoMod features than I was hoping for, with just about all the important barriers being impervious to explosions. On the other hand, the controls felt very fluid and responsive, the vehicles were great fun, and the stealth segments were surprisingly well balanced for a game not really built around that kind of play.

Also, from what I've read on the Internet, it seems I was supposed to steal a fighter for the final trench run and the fight against Masako. I didn't find any empty fighters in that area, and ended up doing that entire part on foot instead, which may have made it harder than it needed to be.

I beat dark souls.

Defeated every boss in the game except the DLC ones, which I don't have, beat four in one hour, and fought the final boss alongside my sunbro Solaire, and kept him alive for the entire fight.

Cried tears of both joy and sadness that it's finally over, after like six months.

I got a Piece of Heart in the Wind Waker. I was just exploring the Great Sea, found a cannon minigame, won it, and got the Piece.

I beat Teleglitch: Die More Edition.

The Core was every bit as tough as it looked.

Bullets! Rockets! Lasers! Damned thing was truly a final test of the entire game's combat system wrapped into one destructible walled core.

Luckily for me, I'm a dirty metagamer, so I knew well ahead of time what to expect from it, and I came fully prepared with a minigun with ammo to spare.

Even with all my preperation and bullets, the fight was still hard as dicks and I died several times before prevailing and escaping the hellhole of a planet the game was set on.

Good game.

I beat metal gear solid: peace walker. Only killed around 30 enemies, during sections where it's basically required, which is much better than the horrible massacres I accidentally started in the previous games... Got a nice tuxedo for snake to wear.

Cleared all the outposts in Far Cry 4, as well as 3 of the 4 main fortresses, and got a few achievements along the way.

Reached level 15, or Arena Master, in the Arena fighting mode in Far Cry 4. That's the highest level there is so I'm hoping they patch in more to do later on. Got the last points I needed by killing an Enraged Rhino with a Molotov Cocktail to the face.

Just finished Thief 2, on normal difficulty.

For the most part I was favorably impressed with this one over the original Thief. The level design was more consistent and professional, although reusing the same level twice near the end still seemed a bit cheap. Most of it actually felt easier than the original game, although maybe that's because I was more familiar with the mechanics and gameplay.

Kidnap was a bit tougher than the earlier levels, due to the sheer number of guards grouped together in well-lit areas. In particular, whenever I tried to blackjack the rearmost of Cavador's two guards, Cavador and the other guard would notice despite being turned the other way. Eventually I was able to scare the entire group with some noise, separating them up and giving me the opportunity to blackjack one of the guards. Cavador and the other guard fled, and I picked over just about the entire level before finding that they had stopped patrolling and retreated to a room in site 5 (presumably the room they start out in).

The final level was by far the longest and most frustrating. Soulforge Cathedral is huge, with a layout that makes both sneaking and fighting difficult. Eventually I discovered that enough blackjack hits would disable even a combat bot (I had learned in previous levels that the small sentry bots could be disabled that way, but thought combat bots were immune to anything other than explosives), and that disabled robots could also be broken down into movable 'corpses'. I also figured out that if I led a combat bot into a completely dark area, it would chase me (or rather, the last noise it heard from me) without being able to aim its cannon, and if I then snuck up behind it, repeatedly smashing it with the blackjack would stun it and prevent it from moving or fighting. This was followed by several tedious hours of systematically luring combat bots into dark rooms and bashing them to pieces; according to the final stats for the level, I destroyed no less than 39 robots.

Unlocked The Lost on The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, so now have all characters unlocked.

Finished my first ever group instance in Guild Wars 2 by helping to take down the Elder Dragon Zhaitan. And lots and lots and lots of other zombies and lesser dragons. Not bad for a first try and a first ever group in the game.

Never managed that in World Of Warcraft.

Completed two episodes of the Guild Wars 2 Living Story Season Two. Hard work.

Transistor: Finished a Recursion, got all the achievements except for Risk() (because, all ten Limiters? Fuck. That.)

I just scored a double KO against Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix. I died exactly when he did.

Now I can beat amiibos consistently. They're harder than lvl 9 CP Us once they hit the lvl cap, I think.

Within five minutes of loading a new game of The Sims 3, my Sim went to sign up for a job as a professional athlete, and just as she leaves the stadium, she gets crushed to death by a meteorite.

On a happier note, I 1CC'd Steel Empire a few minutes ago tonight. Soooo satisfying...

Successfully completed the single player story of Marathon. 20 years and 1 day to the day Bungie finished programming, to boot.

Roll on Marathon 2...

Team Fortress 2

Shot a rocket at a sniper and sent him flying into the air. On a split-second impulse, I rocket jump into the air after him and finish him off with another shot before he hits the ground again^* And proceed to die of fall damage when I hit the ground. If nothing else, it was probably the most ridiculous kill I've gotten in a FPS and probably won't be happening again.

Took down 2 survivors in one life as a Charger in Left 4 Dead 2.

(Keep in mind that a Charger is supposed to be a big distraction rather than a killing force usually).
