1 - Shock Rifle Combo - Ball shot first, then smack it with the singe shot. His hiding behind the corner didn't work to well.
2 - Rocket launcher - Full 6 shot spread, he had nowhere to hide lol.
3 - Redeemer - Cue a very loud, very surprised "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"

How about the Flak Cannon Facial?

A classic way of saying hello and goodbye that is up close and personal.

Unreal Tournament - Took a long time before I was forgiven for introducing my friend to three things.

I love that game & the fun you can have with those weapons

[ApolloSZ]

first Unreal tourny, the awesome Metal Gear Solid series (still haven't played MGS 4 )

As for Metal Gear Solid - I loved running around once I'd unlocked the stealth suit, and slapping the guards. Not killing them, just *Punch* followed by the "Huh?"

The next one, it was funny shooting them in the leg with the Dart gun and watching them limp/drag the leg around.

Yeah, I'm twisted.

I still play a myriad of old school games such as Warcraft 3, first Unreal tourny, the awesome Metal Gear Solid series (still haven't played MGS 4 ), and Super Smash Bros. Melee (it's a fun party game when all of you are hammered).

Online, I play CoD: MW 2 and Guild Wars. It keeps me busy.

Yay games

I used to be primarily a PC FPS guy but I've kind of expanded in the past few years. Right now my main addiction is EVE Online. I've been playing a little over a year and still utterly addicted to the game.

If I'm not playing EVE I'm either on my PS3 or 360. I'm currently working my way through the God of War revamped collection before I pick up 3. On the 360 I'm usually playing Battfield 2: Bad Company with friends. I used to spend a lot of time on Modern Warfare 2 but the way the game is played now annoys me to no end and I just don't enjoy it anymore.

I've got a handful of games I'm in the middle of and trying to find time to finish like Borderlands, Darksiders and others. I haven't even had a chance to open up my copy of Bayonetta. So many games and so very little time to play them all. Well that and all my free time seems to be spent on EVE. Damn you internet space ships!!!!!

Sort of unrelated but is anyone going to be attending PAX East? I'll be there this weekend and I am fairly psyched

[RayvenQ]

Man, I've just realised I'm really picky when it comes to Fallout 3 player home mods, nearly all i have seen are either too big, too small, too full with items or too laking in shelving and storage.

[Rapscallion]

That was funny.

I'm playing Starfleet Commander in the background most of the day when I'm at a computer. It's one of those free games you can play on Facebook, though they have a standalone site. It's a throwaway game as far as I'm concerned. Consider the situation where you get better and better ships. X being basic, Y being pretty good, and Z being damned impressive.

We're arranging a group attack on a neutral dude some distance away and I offered to come in on the fray. Chat went a little like this:

S: Arranging for an assalt. I checked with battlecalc and we should just win.
R: fancy me turning up? I can make it in time.
S Invite sent.
C: Should help. Yeah, we're talking about attacking in such and such hours.
R: Mmm, didn't realise you can see allied fleets in a group assault. Since there was enough time, I could send in some heavy bombers (low level grade Y ships) as well to help with the defences.
S: Holy crap! Raps is sending in his (upper) level Y ships! Victory is assured!

R: Dude, not all of them...

I'm not far from level Z ships.

Oh, that and the shotgun wedding in Fallout 2. Especially if you were playing a female character for the lesbian shotgun wedding. >.>

Even funnier; go back to the old guy who instigated the shotgun part of said wedding if When you Divorce/Kill off/Sell into slavery your spouse, and give him the bad news that she 'passed on'

He'll drop dead of a heart attack, on the spot.

(Also, if you Heal the wounded Brahmin just north of his slaughterhouse and bring her to meet him, he'll process her into 400 pieces of jerky. Oodles of dead weight, but hey, at 2-5$ per, I ain't complaining one Bit.)

Also, a personal favourite weapon in all the fallout games is the .223 pistol. *Boom-Splat* Is a good descriptor of its firepower. Plus it looks like Deckard's gun from Blade Runner.

I thought I was lunch when I came across a hoard of feral ghouls with about 5 reavers in there.... have they gone soft or something, didn't seem to have much of a problem dispatching those.... They usually do some damage singly!

Although good old Dogmeat was distracting them for me

What difficulty do you have it on?

[Gravekeeper]

(For those not in the know, a Bozar is a Sniper Rifle that Fires 15 bullets at once [Literally half its magazine], with each bullet doing 20-30 points of damage. Counts as a Big Gun, though, so boost that big gun skill if you don't want Markus to have all the fun)

There's a Fallout 3 mod that adds all the FO 1 and 2 weapons to 3. Including the Bozar <3

All I remember from Fallout 1 and 2 is repeatedly yelling "Noooo, Dogmeat!" at the screen at regular intervals. Especially when he'd charge gatling equipped super mutties and then I'd get sprayed with the bits and pieces. Gah.

Man, I'm ancient. I remember back in Fallout 2 when you first Encounter Wannamingos (in the Old Wannamingo Mine in Redding). I then proceeded to laugh my ass off when I shot one in the crotch, and happened to 'Impact its breathing ability' Via Combat shotgun.

Then it Killed Sulik in 3 hits when he was at full health.

I reloaded, and came back when I had loaded myself out with a Bozar, and cleaned out the entire mine with it. Good times.

Currently Playing Demon's Souls (Aka; Nethack in 3D) and More Borderlands, now that the Level cap is up to 61 due to the new DLC.

If you ever see something that's like a black round thing with tentacley arms with leaf shapes on the end RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN Seriously, Wannamingos will own you badly.

Heh. I'm not impressed with your taste in games, as Warhammer 40K: Fire Warrior is a good First-Person Shooter made even BETTER by the fact that it takes place in the Warhammer 40K universe!

And speaking only for myself, and I am unanimous in this, I've taken down your supposedly bad-ass Space Marines, Chaos Marines, and even a Greater Daemon of Chaos! So Genestealers on a space hulk? NO PROBLEM!

But I will say this one thing in favor of your Space Marines: At least they had the right idea for how to thoroughly remove the taint of Chaos from a world, as seen in the ending movie for Fire Warrior...

Sorry but really, as a 40k fan you should be a-fucking-shamed that you say firewarrior is a good game, seriously.

Don't make me bring the hammer of the Emperor down on you.

Don't think you're so tough, One marine took down a Carinifex with....A KNIFE, seriously, oh and try reading ciaphas cain sometimes, in which pathfinders and kroot got wtfpwned by genestealers, or Courage and Honour. No matter how good you think you are, a .75 rocket propelled, armour piercing delayed explosive bolt round is so going to make short work of you.

Oh and one grey knight...he actually amused Khorne enough that his laughter could be heard in the mortal realm. You blue bastards can't even get into the warp. So your technology is advancing at an astounding rate, yeah, Humanity has been there long before you existed, we called it the age of strife. just you wait, one day your machinations will bring you down.

Sorry kiddo, you're nowhere near close to being that good.

And you're going to be in DEEP doodoo when the God Emperor of Mankind finally succumbs and ascended to his rightful place as a fifth Chaos God.

Also showcases the awesomeness of the Imperium of Man, Wheras Tau, you may be blue, but I bet you're red on the inside, commie bastards :P Greater good my cermatie armoured arse.

Well, I couldn't put it off any longer.... downloaded, installed, hid in an empty room for 4 days & the first thing I saw when I emerged? A Gecko

I'm not impressed, considering Fire Warrior was the crappest 40K game ever.

Let's see you blue bastards willingly board a genestealer infested Space hulk and see how tough you are.

Another Space Wolf here, hardest bastards around, since what we drink to get drunk, will pretty much kill any other living thing.
