I'll contribute, despite not having played that in years.

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

Wow... that is impressive, and I say that because I couldn't play that game for crap no matter how much I played. I think I made it to the place where you have to find the gravity suit... and then I gave up.

Props to you.

Beat Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance with 200% exploration. Juste's room looks so fly, now that I picked up everything for it. Too bad I have to kiss it all goodbye...

Now, to start playing as Maxim.

In TF 2, I headshotted two scouts under five seconds.

Even the resident egomaniac admitted it was awesome.

Actually yesterday, but I beat the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game in 24 minutes and change from start-to-finish in preparation for the SDA Marathon *plug plug*.

(Note to self: I should really write a page for SDA here on TV Tropes)

Reached stage 3 of Mushihime-sama Futari Black Label's God mode.

See, this is actually fun, unlike Futari 1.5's Ultra mode.

  • Got five sparkling stars on New Super Mario Bros Wii. Underwhelmed by my reward.
  • With the help of Boudica and Mansa Musa, forced a Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty through the UN in my Japanese game of Civilization IV, leaving me as the sole nuclear power in the world. Then proceeded to thumb my nose at DeGaulle and Saladin in an attempt to provoke them into war (they just kept trying to poison my cities and sabotage mines) before winning a Cultural victory shortly afterward.
  • In TF2, killed a pursuing Pyro with an arrow taunt as a Sniper.
    • During a Payload match as a Heavy, pushed the cart all the way from the start to the end without dying, despite my teammates exploding all around me as we reached the first checkpoint. Quoth my Medic, "what, you're still alive?!" The other team wasn't thrilled.
    • As a Soldier, flinging myself onto the cart to push it the last two feet to a checkpoint before the round ended (we still lost).
    • Learning to Triple Jump with the Force-a-Nature on CTF: Doublecross to game-winning effect.
    • Using Natascha, killed my umpteenth charging, Eyelander-wielding Demoman just before they reached melee range.
    • Cleared the last point of Dustbowl by building a Sentry Gun on the catwalk overlooking the point. Combat Engineer ftw.
    • Gave my nearly-dead Medic my Sandvich.

Dang, I forgot how dang difficult Mario And Luigi Superstar Saga's Final Boss was, especially coupled with Damn You, Muscle Memory! after Bowser's Inside Story. The latter's Final Boss was a cakewalk compared to this.

I remember that Boss! That was quite difficult! I had fun with that. I was happy when I beat the game.

Mushihime-sama Futari Black Label on Original mode cleared on 1 credit.

I'd record a video but I don't have a way that doesn't involve running my camera battery into the ground.

completing persona 4 on normal mode after having played the first half of the game already a week before on hard mode, and managing to stay interested in the game all the way to the true final (incredibly dull) dungeon for an entire week. being the way i am, completing any game alone is a big accomplishment, but completing a game after having to restart from the halfway point only the week before is a massive accomplishment for me grin

Beat Modern Warfare 2 on Veteran, which was a lot easier than I thought it'd be. It was definitely much, much easier than Call Of Duty 4's Veteran, which is at least in part thanks to a gratifying lack of grenade-spamming enemies. The only parts that really gave me any trouble were:

  • Taking down the second helicopter in "Wolverines!" (because it requires you to run across a wide open area while the helicopter's shooting at you)
  • The entire first half of "Exodus" (easy to die here and too few checkpoints)
  • Assaulting the sub base in "Contingency" (because it's on a timer, so I effectively had to choose between getting to the objective on time or surviving)
  • The Whiskey Hotel lawn run (again, nowhere near enough cover. I can forgive it though because of the Crowning Music Of Awesome in that scene.)
  • Defending Makarov's estate in "Loose Ends".
  • And finally, the boat chase in "Endgame" (yet again, you're way too exposed and can't avoid enemy fire)

  • And finally, the boat chase in "Endgame" (yet again, you're way too exposed and can't avoid enemy fire)

  • The second (and even the first) chopper can be taken down with normal gunfire. M240s are excellent at it.

  • Hint: Honey Badger is your friend, let the Browning Machine Gun on it deal with most of the enemies. Just keep to cover and keep spamming the laser designator on everywhere. Oh yeah and when the choppers come (all 4 of them, 3 in one part a lone one later) lase em for Honey Badger to shoot up.

  • The timed run is a bitch indeed. The only reliable measures I can think of is not rely on Predator missile as it wastes valuable running time.

  • There are two ways to go about the lawn run. A) use the mounted machine gun near Col. Marshall (over to the left of where you come out) and thin out the gunners on Whiskey Hotel. B) make a mad dash for the left and try to reach the crashed helicopter.

  • I have no words for the flagrant abuse of flashbangs in that level. (That's the new grenade spam in MW 2)

  • Uhh....the boat part is fun. Just stay clear of open areas.

    I finally decided to sit down and unlock everything at SSBM. All I have to say is "fuck you, Mr. Game & Watch, fuck you. I don't want to complete that shitty Classic Mode with Ganondorf, that slow weakass crudball".

    Yeah, I needed to vent. At least Flat Zone's music is awesome.

    In Dawn of War 2. As a Tyranid, together with a Eldar and a Space Marine, against 3 Spess Mehreens.

    FLAWLESS VICTORY! (500 points match. My team lost literally not a single point. Harder than it sounds like.)

    My Gyarados either OHKO'd or 2HKO'd Cynthia's entire team in Platinum, taking about 40HP damage altogether. The 2HKO belonged to the Milotic, who survived one turn, then recieved a Critical :P

    Also, I beat the Platinum E4 first time!

    Figured a way to spam Chain Combo in Ragnarok Online.

    INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.
