So this one is recent now, with Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
Multiplayer, Multi-Team Deathmatch; Basically, I get my first (and likely only) quad kill.
There's this bus one can camp in on the map "Aftermath," I often forget about it myself from time to time; but in my quest to get the last camo schemes for the MK 48 light machine gun, I stake out the bus, and pick off everyone on one of the other two teams. This gets them riled up enough to attempt to dislodge me from the bus, so I move to the back of the bus as they come at me and mow them, and some guy from the last team, down in rapid succession. One of them managed to finish me off, but not before I earned that camo and got the "Fury Kill" medal for my trouble.

Not something I feel I'm likely to pull off again, but it was fun times.

S'okay. So I think I started a trend in the new Call of Duty by shooting down every UAV that comes up in a match... the next day, someone shot down each of mine within five seconds of it going up.

End of the USA?

Um, I think it was just established that it's pretty much fake. There's no secession crisis imminent...

That said, were it actually a Thing, I'd be one of the few supporters. 'Cuz basically, the national government's pretty much broken anyways; I'm all for cutting our losses and trying to fend for ourselves...

Hostess closes.

Not quite. The brand's dead, sure, but they'll be selling the recipes (and maybe the names?) to highest bidders as part of whatever bankruptcy deal they're working on.

Happy birthday to everyone's favorite mod, Blaire!

(If Devlin wishes to complain, I'm sure we can arrange for him becoming chopped liver.)

I'll admit, I don't know much about the whole continuity, but from what we got in-game of Ra's philosophy and what Strange did with Protocol 10, made it in retrospect a fairly coherent logical chain.

Personally, I think the Joker still being alive/resurrecting would be what cheapens Arkham City's ending.

Arkham games: alternate continuity, therefore anything goes. If they want to permakill Joker for the sake of the Arkham games, they can damn well do it.

The 2012 U.S. Presidential Election

Maybe. I'm not holding out hope that our President and legislature will compromise and work together like responsible adults. I think there's something in the air over in DC that does it... Constant politicking and all the BS. Probably wouldn't have stopped with Romney, but anyways. I'm just glad the election cycle's over. Now's the time to save up another four years' worth of hate.

I would eat her babies to gain their power.

I mean, that's how I beat the Xenomorph Queen.

Hm. That would involve consuming every sentient race to have existed on the earth. Problem is, six of eight were extincted by the time I go spelunking.

@Choco: ... what.
What, indeed. (Indie game. La-Mulana. Kind of my latest obsession.)

@Vulpix: Not exactly practical. Since "the Mother"'s body is colossal enough to be mistaken for ruins at first glance. (How that's even possible, I don't know.)

So. Opinions on slaying an ancient, colossal, alien mother goddess to harvest her crystallized soul for fun, profit, and the resolution of an ongoing father/son competition?

La-Mulana -- Defeating the Mother's Soul: Yes, the Mother's Soul is just the final boss in La-Mulana, and yes I cheated a bit and used a guide. But there is a difference between knowing what to do, and actually doing it.

Civilization V -- Double-dipped victory: Admittedly I was playing on Chieftain, but no strategy guide, pretty much my first time on Civ 5, and I complete the spaceship just one turn before the UN vote, which I was also set up to win... well I was impressed...

I'm pretty sure that's false, although you may need to download the (free) client app.

Debating on whether I should make a Steam account or not.
Won't cost nothing if you aren't buying new games.

Some games also use it for DRM and junk like that... <.<

I'd say go for it.
