What is your...

Proudest moment in a video game.

Geeky topic I know...but hey. Games provide us with entertainment, but I don't think there's anyone here who can't think of one time they felt a sense of accomplishment in something done in the digital world.

So what was yours?

I play alot of different titles, but one of the more recent moments for me was in Diablo II on my Assassin. I opened up her character screen to discover I had a damage number listed for my primary attack of something like 350-1500 damage. (Screenshot will come whenever I remember to take one).

I was speechless.

Next?

When I was still 37 on my rogue (WoW) and took on a 40 rogue and a 40 warrior at the same time and won.

My heart was going a mile a minute and my hands were shaking afterwards. I also realized that I had stopped breathing for sometime :rofl:

I thought I was the shit after that until I got :owned:

by a 42 priest.

I would have to say, it was probably when I completed my first epic in EQ. Man that was so many years ago its hard to count. Was a very good day though.

I always used to feel good when I finished a game perfectly, as in found all the secrets and such.

But my best moment would have to be when I got my epic for my ol' wizard. Good times.

Keeping Tatyana Bulakov (my commander) alive in X-Com for 250 missions.

or

Watching my guild push some random North Wing dragon into a wall... knowing that he would fall into the wall if he died, and chain nuking him anyway... just to have the whole guild hate me for one day because they lost out on some +15 int pants or some shit.
Was very :teehee:

"I'm not a man." :ohnoes:

And then... A month later, I helped in busting this 'girl' as Aennea 2.0 psycho stalker mangina turbo 2000. Much to the chagrin of her lvl 60 boyfriend.

:ugh:

That was fun.

Trixxi is still around too.

Yeah. I see her from time to time. I give her the bird then I'm on my way.

I wish I had takena screenshot of when she left. I said something like, "What, Trixxi IS a man?" and like a second later you see "Trixxi is no longer part of your guild". I was rolling.

Proudest was either bard or cleric epic. Probably cleric since it was my first.

Pick one: The first Giant kill of the Avatar of War (first kill serverwide, period) or the first PC tanking kill of AOW, which was done within 15 minutes of FOH's kill. Probably the first giant tanking kill, because at that point he was still considered to be unkillable, yet we killed him.

Best gaming moment was during Velious, hitting 60 at 6:45am after playing 18hours straight to finish lvl59.(damn you!) All the druids and wizards were pissed b/c I could quad kite almost as fast as them using my earthquake spells and clicky Donal's boots.

Close second would be having completed my epic at lvl 53. Was kinda a big deal back in the day. I was so spoiled I never bought the 56 res spell until I was asked to res some guy as I passed by while on a corpse run..ie naked and unable to use my click stick...

Cleric power!

Beating the original NES Zelda game was a nice feeling too, considering I was probably 10 or 11 at the time.

Zombie pull in Scholo. Ask Vonk and Taxx how it went.

It was funny because only you and I were laughing.

it always was and probably always will be doing NToV with crimson tempest... i don't think i ever enjoyed playing a game more or doing anything in a game more than being in that guild when we were starting NToV.

hrm

I think the best I felt after something in game was during the test of tactics3

we were fighting the Rallos Zek team, and we did really well
(no soul fires and we eliminate them in 5 minutes)

after the match I got about 20 tells from various members of their guild saying how they were impressed with our bluebie skills

the enchanter I spent the entire fight chasing said I did over 13k damage to her, and they wasted 8 soul fire charges on her alone

console, because i couldn't think of any outstanding PC gaming moments. in order of occurrence:

1. beating the final boss in Secret of Mana using two controllers-- one in each hand-- to control the three characters who were horribly under-leveled at the time

2. a. watching kefka fuckin MANGLE the world
2. b. winning the final battle against kefka by a hair and being treated to a 20-minute ending sequence

3. super metroid speed run 1:50

4. while visiting a friend in MPLS, we were informed that his buddies play super smash bros. melee religiously. our eyes popped open and our blood began to boil. the shit-talking commenced and built itself up to epic proportions. each side professed their star player to be UNBEATABLE. when we finally got to play, our worst player (onan) beat their second-best (scott), and then our second-best (josh) walked on their BEST player (jason). says josh: "if you think THAT was rough, you haven't even played The Master yet!" ...jason threw down his controller in disgust, i didn't even get to fight him.

I'm sorry, I enjoy playing ssbm...but I swear there is this select few who take it to tiny-penis-asian-boy-obsessionism

I.E. My little brother and his friends....and Aryylas and his friends...

wizard epic

damn that broken golem

Post by **Arlos** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 6:17 pm

Uh, Tikker, we lost that fight vs Rallos. We won the prelim round against some team I can't remember, but we lost to Rallos, barely. If we'd had soulfires, or if they'd been illegal, we'd have kicked their ass all over the arena, and they knew it.

Finally getting the best of Shodan. Fucking monkeys. Fucking monkeys!

And of course, unlocking Grace's diary.

Beating Link to the Past when I was... really young. Finishing my Ranger Epic with Regret and raiding in PoP with PoN were both fun times for me, mainly when we beat The Rathe.
