Wait a second, that WORKED?!

So I'm playing Battlefield 1942 on the Midway map, and I'm at the helm of the Yamato battleship. Having just shelled the crap out of Midway island and sunk a destroyer, I'm feeling pretty satisfied when I feel the dreaded thump-thump of two torpedo impacts. Knowing I'm probably screwed, I look for the damn sub, hoping enough of the conning tower is visible enough for me to shoot him. He's submerged, but to my surprise, he's directly in front of me.

Several things from an old submarine game I used to play shoot through my mind:
"Japanese warships are perfectly willing to ram your sub."
"Just submerging won't prevent a ramming attack, as your periscope and conning tower can still be hit."
"Ramming does massive damage, more even than a depth charge attack."

I mash the W key down, pouring on as much steam as I can. Truthfully, I didn't expect it to work. Subs are ridiculously agile in that game, and he could just dive under me and finish me at his leisure. But he doesn't. He stays at periscope depth, lobbing torpedoes at me as I'm gaining speed. By now I'm driving that 80,000 ton battleship faster than I ever thought it could go. I'm nearly on him, and still he doesn't dive, and I think "Holy crap, this is going to work." I switch to the outside view, and make sure I get a good look.

The impact lifted his sub clean out of the water, crushing him against the bow of my battleship, rolls completely over, and is crushed under the Yamato's keel.

I was laughing my ass off after that, believe me.

1. Max lightning and buy mana potions
2. Have little brother hold down the magic button while you go get chips
3. ????
4. Profit

...dude.

Slow Time at Max.
Multi-Arrow at Max.
Skorm's Bow.

Every shot with it fully charged will force Jack to the next 'stage'.

Mine was the second to last boss in Prototype. I spent at least half an hour using my strongest attacks and combos just trying to drain one health bar. Then I jumped into a tank and blasted her health away in mere seconds. I was so pissed.

My method for her was, hide on one of the taller buildings, devour a couple hunters till I was critical mass. At that point I would take a flying leap above her and do a Groundspike Graveyard right on top of her, doing major damage to all portions of her body. Rinse and repeat.

On the hardest difficulties you do something close to it, but you basically have to throw cars at the hunters unless you're a goddamn genius at using dirt nap.

Dead Space 2 and it's evil, EVIL school gymnasium level.
Basically I was doing a hard mode run on my first try (because I figured hey, I've played the original, surely it must be easier!) and as a result had about four plasma rifle bullets and two mines. Anyone who's played this part can tell you... that's not enough.

After getting minced by hundreds of razor handed children and exploding babies for a dozen attempts I tried something new! Laid a proximity mine with his sensor lazer facing directly down the back of the bleachers where the bastards spawned. The other was in the front, where they climbed out.
Activated the Macguffin, and BOOM. First mine goes off, lots of screams. Babies and monsters crawl out the front- BOOM, second mine. Then BOO-BOO-BOOM, sets off all the baby grenades. Necromorphs go flying left right and center.

Objective complete. At this point I felt Issac should have put on sunglasses... WITH the helmet on.

Fun fact:

If you place a mine directly on a spot where an enemy will spawn, the mine will disappear. Now you're out 1 mine and a thing that was supposed to explode did not and is very much alive and eating your face.

When I first met Twinmold in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, I had no idea how to fight the thing. Tatl said something about shooting it in the head and the tail, so I tried it but the things kept moving around too much and I kept either dying or sinking into the sand at the edge of the map. Finally, I reached the frustration point and decided to see if that worthless giant mask would be of any use against Twinmold. The fight then became quite easy, since I had the gilded sword and I wondered why I spent so many hours without trying the mask.
