You Are The Only One Who Can Stop Them!

[Monster_user]

First, tell the Prez that if I'm going to do this, I need a badge. Then, I'll need a means of contacting him for further information. Then, once off the chopper, I'll walk over to the nearest stand selling shades and gum, and maybe even get some new threads, and tell them to send the bill to the oval office.

The next thing I'm going to do is take a quick glance around, probably get to a tall building. Get the lay of the land, and a feel for the shape the country is in. I'll keep an eye out for ammo drops or shops while I'm at it.

Now that I know what I'm dealing with, its time to get down to business. When I encounter the first bit of opposition, I take aim, and pull the trigger. Nothing happens. Crap, I forgot to take the safety off, where is it? Found it, but I should probably make sure the gun is loaded, and cocked. Ooops, that was not supposed to separate was it? Its coming! Put it back! Put it back! This is not good,... Time to run for it! Not another one. No way out. This gun ought to make a fairly good blunt object, time to put it to use. CHARGE!!!!!

*dead*

 

[Vegosiux]

Well this world better prove to me it's worth saving before I waste any effort on it. I, for one, don't really feel like playing heroics just because I could...it better serve a useful purpose.

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

While in the helicopter I would have informed the president that I am far better a strategist, or if you really need me in close a group tactician, I'm far better at planning and executing ambushes, hit/run raids, distractions and routs, than I am as a one man killing machine, I mean, I can handle a gun, and I can handle most blunt or edged weapons well enough, but I don't believe in myself enough to think that I alone could eradicate an area full of unknown assailants with nothing but an assault rifle(even the starship troopers ones), and would thusly demand that I be alotted a squad of at the very least 5 other trained combattants, or he may as well have armed me with a can of beans for all the difference it's going to make in the big picture.

 

[AngloDoom]

Considering I'd probably be toeing the sanity line by that point and I've got a weird knack for almost-but-not-quite hospitalising myself, I'd probably just run in screaming and hope all goes well.

 

[Lt._nefarious]

i can't help but feel XCOM sparked this thread...

It most certainly did not...

While in my head I would view myself as the next action hero but in reality I will be terrify. I mean seriously who the hell hand someone a gun and tell that person that he/ she is apprently the chosen one without any trainings beforehand? Is it all in good faith that it will all work out?

Ah, but you're trained. Y'see turns out all iD games are secret government training programs and it took with you and you now have the ability to automatically know what everything you pick up is and how it works but you are also healed by mysterious green liquids and cardboard boxes with "HEALTH" painted on the front....

 

[theSteamSupported]

Even though I've never hold a gun in my entire life, I'd just shrug my shoulders and do whatever that nice lady from Illuminati told me. Seriously, what's so wrong about Illuminati?

 

[Reginald]

I would shoot the president and take his place.

 

[Bad Jim]

One rifle? Where is my secret base? Where's my skyranger? Where are my elite special forces?

What the hell am I supposed to achieve with a rifle that millions of soldiers have failed to do with theirs? I don't even know how to fire one. I reckon Obama would actually be a lot better doing the job himself than getting me to do it.

Because fate, or some sort of random name generator, dictates that you are the Only One Who Can Stop Them, and, who knows, you may get a BFG or Bazooka later down the line... Quite possibly from the pirate Merchant from RE4...

 

[a7xman]

"Sorry Mr. President, but if I'm the last hope for humanity, we're doomed. Good luck with the invasion thing. I'm going back to the cupboard."

 

[Akytalusia]

first i'd wonder what possessed me to be in the cupboard in the first place. but finding myself in the position i was somehow in, i'd set the gun down and walk into the hive.

 

[Leemaster777]

So, I'm the last hope for humanity? If that's the way it is, then that's the way it is.

Step 1: Accept rifle.

Step 2: Obtain my iPod.

Step 3: Play this music:

(best music I can think of for killing evil aliens)

Step 4: Badass one-liner:


...and I'm set.

*Looks at FPS K/D ratio*

Uh,... Do we also get infinite respawns? Checkpoints? Cheatcodes? I ask because, otherwise we are screwed.

Then again, I am a hoarder in video games. I will not use health items. Except in RPGs, after I've defeated the local big bad, and I'm trying to get back to the shop to buy more health potions. I will use them if I think that they will last through the fight, and/or I can't take them with me (terminals in Half-Life, or Elite Force), or if I get infinite respawns with health each time (Battlefield).

 

[Rawne1980]

Well I know of at least 6 of us here that would be okay. We're all trained and experienced apart from the aliens thing.

So I suppose i'd go wandering and shoot some faces...... Until I found a pub, then i'd sit down and get pissed.

 

[Mr F.]

Probably blow my head off with the rifle.

Of course, this is after pondering how I recognised the rifle as being from a show I have never seen before.

And this is, of course, if I do not assume that it is all some giant prank being pulled on me by incredibly wealthy tricksters.

Really, I wouldn't stand a chance. Never fired a shot with anything of any kind in my life. Never killed anything (Bar flies) in my entire life. I am not exactly the fittest person alive either, what with being a half starved gamer. I used to play a lot of strategy games but I would not be fit to lead anyone either, my main strategy in everything being "Harvest more resources and defeat them through attrition". So... Yeah.

If I was the Only One Who Can Stop Them I would be fucked.

Unless, of course, I was wearing plot armour (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor you can thank me later.) in which case I would be fine.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

I slam into the ground at terminal velocity, shattering every bone in my body and dying instantly.

Seriously, Mr. President, you couldn't have ordered the helicopter to land first?

 

[Nouw]

I'm from New Zealand, and I say kill 'em all! I lead a glorious one-man army attack only to be killed by tripping over debris.

I slam into the ground at terminal velocity, shattering every bone in my body and dying instantly.

This works too.

 

[Generic4me]

I may have been the only one who can save them, but would it kill the President to kill a few aliens before he flew away?

I'd blow the head of the nearest, biggest alien clean off, but unfortunately these aliens don't have brains and brains aren't really necessary for them to kill shit and immediately get crushed.

Sorry humanity, I tried.
