My friend was playing the final boss in Mass Effect 2, he had completely run out of ammo due to incompetence leaving him with only the nuclear launcher left, one shot. He lines up his shot and launches it, the enemy dives to the left just after the shot, it seems as if it would sail right past him, leaving him utterly screwed. at the LAST MOMENT the boss swing his giant head back into the direct line of fire, just clipping it weak point and taking it down. christ.
Also every crit i ever got in Borderlands and Pokemon.

Lots, but the most recent was probably on Wednesday when I was playing Silent Hunter III (with The Grey Wolves mod). I had been stalking a convoy for a couple of game-time days, come close enough to risk being spotted by escorts once or twice but had gotten away with it.

The order comes (after other U-boats had been ordered onto the convoy too) to attack the convoy, so I spend an afternoon of game-time positioning myself ahead of the convoy and as dusk falls, I dive the boat. As the phalanx of ships starts to pass overhead, I come up to periscope depth, raise the attack periscope, and smack bang in the middle of the convoy about 1,500m ahead I see a Revenge class Battleship in the perfect position for a full spread of 4 torpedoes. The first three missed or were duds (lots of duds early on in the war) but the 4th must have gone off near a main magazine (damage modelling in the Grey Wolves mod is far superior to the vanilla modelling in any SH game imho) and the damn thing just blew up about 10 seconds after the initial impact.

Cue half a dozen or so thoroughly pissed off escorting destroyers charging into the convoy, every searchlight that could be brought to bear sweeping the water looking for foam, periscopes or torpedo wakes and a swift dive as deep as I dared to creep away and think about the long trip home (one torpedo apiece in the fore and aft torpedo rooms is really a purely defensive load) while they thunder around in circles. They never did find me, but my hydrophone operator reported more explosions and breakup noises - whether they were from torpedo attacks by other U-boats, or from collisions (they happen!), I never did find out...

Bloody epic game if you have the patience for it ^_^

would you recomend silent hunter 5?

would you recomend silent hunter 5?

I haven't played it. While I'm certain it looks a lot prettier than 3, I gather from other more specialised forums that in terms of depth of gameplay, SH3 + GWX mod is still by far the best WW2 sub sim around.

Planetside, New Conglomerate, Jackhammer and regular armor:

I going up on a hill. Mid way, Terran mech (missle one) appears over the horizon on top of this hill. So I stop advancing as I see him. He doesn't see me until he started to descend on the hill. He starts shooting at me. I really had nothing for him unless he gets close. For those of you not familiar with Planetside, Jackhammers is a shotgun that had a really nasty secondary fire that would unload a 3 rounds of ammo in succession. So I started to run towards a tree while dodging missles. With half my health, I make it behind the tree. As I peek around this tree, he is coming at me firing but doesn't do much damage. Now, he is chasing me around this tree. So now, I am in business since is he is at close range. I shoot him him down at quarter of his health, circling clockwise and counter-clockwise, over and over for atleast 5 minutes till I finally caught him from behind and let him have some secondary fire. Dum Mech.

At the end, with 5% of my health left and kinda filled with adrenaline in RL. I found 3 guys on my side looking at what just happened who didn't help me and laughing. I was kinda pissed off.

*extremely slow clap* You sir, are a god at Planetside. Haven't played that game in a loooong time, and damnit i miss it.

Anyways, my luckiest moment was actually last night, on Reach. My friend and I were doing doubles arena, on Powerhouse. I pick up the grenade launcher and start firing it into the building where the enemies are hiding out. Suddenly, I got a kill, the game winning kill at that. Made sure to save the replay on that one.

Game- Baldur's Gate 2

Place- Lord Firkraag's main Cavern

For those that don't know, Firkraag is a Red Dragon. A big one. I was a lvl 13 or so wild mage, and being chaotic neutral-thus insane-I decided to attack said dragon.

Dragon laughs, gets ready to kill me, I shoot off a chromatic orb as I move into a better posistion and----HE DIES!!!!

From a chromatic Orb! The wild surge chart for calculating effects really smiled upon me then.
Usually I, or some other unlucky sap gets transformed into a squirrel, or just a flock of geese fly out of my hands...but no! insta death on a dragon!

It was the best.

I reckon I've commented on this thread already, but all of 'A Monument to your Sins' for Halo:Reach. (all on Legendary alone) The amount of times I look back on the missions and go, 'I must have been so lucky to get past that bit...and that elite...and that entire section.'

OT: I dunno, I have never really been too lucky, probably when I got my first shiny.

what shiny did you get?
(if you can remember)

A sandshrew. It was actually quite recent

Nice, i've always wanted a shiny sandslash. i just think it looks so cool.

 

[Viva-La-Harley]

I had another one yesterday.
i was playing on saints row 2, and one of the ronin missions you have to kills some of their gang while riding a bike (which i find really difficult) and after about seven or so tries, i managed to kill the last one just before he made it to their safe zone.

well, i class that as lucky, since i've been trying to do that misson for ages now.

Neither am I. Haha I generally suck usually bottom three (I swear these guys are monsters!) but that day I had an insane amount of luck. I mean I actually got breakfast made for me that day! I never have breakfast made for me!

 

[onewheeled]

I.... I 5-starred Beats and Pieces by Scratch Perverts on DJ Hero Expert mode, pretty much due to dumb luck...

I felt like an absolute badass as 100 gamerpoints were added to my score.

 

[Veylon]

In Starcraft. I was playing the mission as the Zerg where you have to get the crystal from the Protoss. I'd launched my assault, gained time for a worker to grab the crystal, and gotten my army annihilated. Right then, they launch their assault and taken out my entire base, minus a useless structure or two. Fortunately, they didn't take out my worker with the crystal, enabling me to bring it where it needed to go and claim victory with exactly one unit left.

Playing TF2 arena, me as a medic against 4 people of various classes from the other team. Took them all out and won the match. Taunting never felt so sweet.
