Awesome gaming moments

Can be either video games or tabletop games.

Earlier, I was playing Bejeweled 2 and I made such a big chain reaction that I skipped an entire level!

Oh, I have a good one from my old tabletop days.  I was a demolitionist for building construction.  One-man job kinda stuff.  The rest of the party gets grabbed along with me by the campaign's Big Bad.  They confirm all of their histories, and let me go because I'm just a demo guy with no traceable ties to the shadow organization we were all hired by.  I'm being escorted out, and through a huge complex where said Big Bad is gathering his army.  I decide to pull a Heroic Sacrifice, and make myself a suicide bomber to give the rest of the group and galaxy a hope in hell of surviving.  I rolled a 19, with a +3 for being subtle about it.  I nuked two-thirds of the Big Bad's army and open up a lovely hole out into hard vacuum right as the shadow organization and allies showed up to mop up what was left.

The really funny thing? I had to confirm to the GM four times to do this.  Why? A., I usually DON'T live to the end of campaigns, and volunteering to off myself was weird, and B., he was a christian youth pastor.  I told him I wanted to suicide bomb to give everyone else a chance to survive the impending battle, and he did a spit-take.

I'm still proud of that session.

My fifth level character in Oriet's Star Wars game gained control of an entire cult (with planetary influence) because of two failed will saves. He's going to be an NPC before too long because of this.

a minor one from a Pathfinder game I had recently.

My elf sorcerer had been grabbed by a shambling mound (or as I like to refer to it, a giant killer bush) and was down to 10 HP.  Out of 31.

So, thinking quickly, my next round I immediately cast Elemental Aura; Acid element.  And it worked, it turns out that the mound wasn't resistant to acid.

And neither was the halfling summoner and his eidolon, and the ranger's horse, that happened to be standing right next to me when I let off my aura.  Oops.  They got a bit of an acid shower before moving out of the way ASAP.

But at least I didn't die.

Got a score of 26/1/16 in League of Legends the other day using Graves, including a triple kill. The one death was because 4 of the enemy champs ambushed me (they couldn't do it with just 3 XD).

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

Yeah that did kinda hurt.

Luckily both me and the eidolon are like a fucking tank with a ton of HP.  so it didn't hurt that much.

Ironbite-still hurt though.

My favorite from DnD was probably our DM's least favorite. 

The adventure started with a deep dragon sending us on a quest that had something to do with a high level wizard.  At the end, we found out that the wizard had double crossed us and nearly gotten us killed.  Now, our DM later revealed that he intended for us to confront said wizard, and through some minor quests, learn that the dragon himself had set the entire thing up.  However, things kind of went in a completely different direction.

I spent the entire week before the next adventure figuring out strategies for taking down the wizard.  When the game started, instead of verbally confronting the guy. we jumped him 4 on one!  In the middle of the fight, I snuck away into the wizard's tower, found a room on an upper floor full of vials, jumped out the window, and launched a fireball into the room.

The explosion was rather impression, and our friend the wizard got caught in it.  As character's sister caught my elf, the other two killed the wizard (I should note that we're all single-digit characters).

The DM suddenly got very quiet, and we anticipated a 'Rocks fall, Everyone dies' moment.  Instead, he told us what was supposed to happen, then shrugged his shoulders and had the deep dragon show up.

Since we were still pretty beaten up from fighting the wizard, I told everyone to lie among the debris and play dead.  The DM determined that the dragon would show up and poke each person, and they would make a Wisdom roll (He hated saving throws) to stay still.

Well, obviously, the wizard didn't move.  Next is was the first warrior (the only character with both an Intelligence and Wisdom below 10), who passed easily.  Then the second warrior (average stats for everything but Wis), who also passed.  Then my elf, who passed easily.  Finally, the cleric (also my elf's sister, who had a 19 wisdom), who FAILED, leaping to her feet in a defensive stance directly in front of the dragon.

Groaning, we quickly formed our strategies, knowing we had another fight on our hands.  My elf, who was still lying below the dragon, launched several fireballs into its stomach.  The two fighters then attacked it from behind.  Then the cleric used whatever spell she had, and after another 30-minute battle, we won again.

Our normally jolly and happy-go-lucky DM just stared at his papers for a long moment.  He then opened the Monster Manual, stared at it for a good five minutes, and declared that 2 red dragons, servants of the deep dragon, had shown up to avenge their master.

I don't remember what happened next except that the battle lasted about an hour in real time, and somehow we won again.  After the second dragon fell, our DM just shut the book and declared the quest over.  He would later joke about it, but that night he was less than pleased.  I was asked to again take over as DM after that.

Although we still gloat about the game, I believe deep down that luck was definitely on our side.

This happened a few days ago:



Hexic isn't a high-scoring game. Near the end I got 17,000 points for something, I think I had put 4 of the star pieces together or something. It blew my previous high score of 66- or 68,000 out of the water.

This happened just yesterday. I'm GMing a Dark Heresy game and the players just finished an arc involving a mutant cult lead by a former Commissar. During the fight Oriet's psyker, Phebia, managed to psionically pull away his bolt pistol, which dropped to the floor. The Commissar lunged in with his chainsword and during the melee did a very good job of slicing her up. She responded by grabbing the fallen pistol and firing it at him. The Commissar was hit, in his head, which then exploded. This is the only time I know of where it was the Commissar on the business end of a blamming, and it being done by a psyker makes it even better.

Was playing MW3 with a friend of mine who didn't have Battlefield yet at the time and I did a blind semtax throw, and stuck the guy who killed me last and blew up him and one of his teammates.

Also, winning a 2 VS 4 Elite Slayer match in Halo: Reach while on the disadvantaged team.

Once I was playing a Mafia game online. My role was the Fool, who only wins the game if he gets lynched. There were only three other players left, and I was secretly communicating to all of them. But I made up what role I was each time. Eventually, the remaining town players caught on that I was lying to each of them individually, while I had also convinced the last mafioso that I was the last Mason. Therefore, he got behind the lynching too, saying that I was probably a Cultist.

Hrmm....I think the two best gaming moments I can remember are..

A blind fire headshot in an online game in the first Gears of War. That was awesome
(Also, there was another time when I was playing another online game of Gears, turns out, one of my team was asleep...we could tell because he was snoring into his headset mic....not quite a 'best' moment, but still really rather funny)

Second one has to be the my two turn victory in a game of Warhammer 40k. My Space Marine army against my friend's Chaos Space Marine army.  Destroyed an entire squad of Chaos Marine and a Defiler with an assault squad and a jump pack equipped Chaplin. Destroyed most of another squad and destroyed his Chaos Land Raider with an Orbital Bombardment, leaving his Beserker squad on the other side of the field. My friend decided to give up after that...It was a short game...

I had a 49-0 kill/death ratio in Modern Warfare 1 (or COD4 if you're so inclined)

In another game I killed 3 people with one bullet. :D

A blind luck delivered noscope double headshot in Halo 2 a few years back. As you can probably well imagine, cue the screaming 12 year olds.
