In B/W, you have a very small chance of getting a special capture animation triggered - the sounds are different, the ball literally zooms across to them, and then only shakes once before capturing.

I think it's a flat 1% chance or something.
....wow, I had no idea it was that low, seeing as how I've gotten like six of them so far.

I absolutely love the Quiz event in Mabinogi. Why? I made 350k gold from selling golden tickets (obtained from getting a quiz question correct).
They think I'll think that they'll do (A) so they'll do (B) because I wouldn't think they'd think of that but then because they might think I know what they're thinking they'll do (A) after all because I wouldn't think they'd think that way.

So, here's the scene.

We have a party of eight people, and we're fighting a skeletal army. Most of it is low level. A couple skeletal birds, 8 level 1 skeletons, 4 skeletal halberdiers, 4 skeletal archers, and a few uniques. One of them is styled after the grim reaper, wearing a hood and wielding a scythe. He's basically made to kill you if he ever gets a critical hit. Another is a cold elemental that's ~*~eeeeeeeeevil~*~. A third is this zombie noble type guy, kinda high up on things, doesn't really do the fighting so much as was there to help the army find what we were looking for. The fourth is a skeletal commander with lots of leadership like stuff that keeps his army together.

Anyway, the zombie noble basically said that he didn't want to be a part of this fight. After all, it'd be TERRIBLE to risk his life. This was said in goblin, the ~*~sekrit language~*~ of the skeletal army. My character, Shoe, is the only one in the party that knows Goblin. So she's heard this. The fighting starts, and the first round, she says "Hey, Zombie! If you surrender now we'll let you live!" (or something to that effect), and he kind of hesitates, but proceeds. Can't do anything yet since his spells are generally close range. We beat up a few things, and at some point our meat shields completely DESTROY a skeletal bird, among other things. tl;dr we hurt them lots, at least the lower level cannon fodder. Next round Shoe tries again "You still have your chance. You saw what we just did. There won't be any issues if you do, since your leader will just be so many bones when we're done!" (again, something to that effect). At this point, the skeletal commander is like "IF YOU DESERT I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND FEED YOU TO MY WARGS", and gets a 31 on his intimidate check against the guy. Now, let me note at this point Shoe is far from a diplomancer. Her skills are generally more magic related and her CHA is 10, meaning no bonus. Stuffman is like "Yeah, there's no possible way you can defeat this intimidate check with any of your skills". I'm like "Oh? WELL I'M GOING TO TRY ANYWAY! HEY, PARTY, AID OTHER HERE!" and then I roll diplomacy. I roll a 19. Pretty good, but far from my goal. Then one of the meat shields, Axis, chimes in, beats the DC 10 for Aid Other (actually gets a 28, but we have to use my check since I started this ball rolling). So that's +2. Then another meat shield and a caster, Kaoli and Liadan add to it. They both succeed, granting another +4. So now I'm at +6, or 25. Even our pacifist healer, Mina, helps out (probably because it was sparing a guy). She succeds. Another +2. A few of our people were missing so I had to roll for them. First one is Alric, and he rolls a 1. So, doesn't help. Then June, our scout/ranger goes for it. Makes it, despite having a -1 to CHA. So that's 29 at this point. Finally, we come to our Bard, Rin, who LITERALLY CANNOT FAIL THE CHECK. So now I have 31 Diplomacy vs. the commander's 31 Intimidate. The DM is basically like "OK, this is going to coin flip". He rolls a 1d2. 1 is that the intimidate check wins and the zombie stays. 2 is that the zombie gets the fuck out of there. After a tense moment, the roll comes up two.

So out of sheer luck with some mechanical abuse, my pretty much unpersuasive character manages to get one of a skeleton commander's army to flee. And mostly on a whim too. I didn't actually expect it to go to rolls, but when Stuffs rolled intimidate I decided to go for it.

That's like, the coolest thing she's ever done.

I just figured out how to get into one of the glitch spots on Glacier in Halo: Reach Firefight. That adds a first glitch spot that i can get the firefight idlers killed from.

Only problem is I don't think it's possible to get out of it without a death, so it'd only be for if I died earlier in a round. Thankfully not many of them know that trick.

It's official. The MegaTen series/universe(s) is simply made of some sort of concentrated awesome. Finally started playing Devil Summoner (first PS2 one).

What do I get introduced to? Badass motherfucking detective/devil summoner with a bitching cape and nice hat who takes on DEMONS with a sword and pistol!

Finally got Taric on League of Legends.

For those of us who are unawares, either don't play LoL or don't deal with Taric often, he's a tanking character with the ability to heal. His heal is routed through him, so whoever he heals, he heals himself for the same amount. Melee attacks knock 2 seconds off his cooldown, as well as all melee attacks passively restoring mana. His ultimate skill is like a channeled Heal Over Time spell for himself, as well as an attack damage buff for your allies. He has another passive skill that increases his armor to monstrous levels.

Turrets are set up at regular intervals in the lanes in LoL matches, and with the gameplay mechanics, they target the first target in range, then from there go through a list - AI controlled bots, AI controlled bots attacking allied Champions, or Champions attacking allied Champions. In other words, if you hit an enemy near one of their turrets, the turret immediately targets  you.
The final nail in the coffin when it comes to turrets is that they deal ramping damage. Each consecutive shot deals more damage than the last, so the longer you get hit, the faster you die.

Our team grouped up and rushed their base from one of the lanes that still had all but one turret in it, and I took the lead. Having built my items around + to HP and + to HP regen items, I pretty much hurled myself at the turrets and took the brunt of their assault.

Three full turrets later, not a one of our teammates died because of my tanking and healing, and then we get into their base itself and I assault their Nexus turrets. The Nexus is defended by two turrets, not just one, so they both hit you as you're attacking.

I killed the one turret, and if two enemy champions hadn't been wailing on me too, I probably would've been able to rally my team around me and take out the last turret, as well.

We rolled pretty much their entire team in the process, and caught 'em all off guard. It was AMAAAAAAAAZING

Mabinogi.

I was puttering around on my new Giant, hunting those physis dingoes far northwest of vales, and I get a huge lucky finish worth at least 2.5k.
Cue me jumping for joy.
I also snagged the lucky title.
My exact words upon that happening?
"Looks like the White Rabbit of Good Fortune has taken a liking to me."
Fitting, as I was using the Giant's Mallet starter weapon, which is wooden.
Tewi's signature item aside from her carrot pendant is generally a wooden mochi mallet, correct?
So it kinda makes sense doesn't it?

Speaking of LoL (a few posts ago), Lux is free this week, which is great cause I wanted to play as her.  I went against bots to try and learn her.  Had Annie and Miss Fortune against us.  Learned a little bit in to set back and shield everyone.  And then I got Master Spark Finales Funkeln.  We started pushing up the middle.  I killed Annie and Nexus at the same time!  At least I think I did.  I killed Annie with it, but not sure if it was just awesome timing or what, but the Nexus fell right after her.

Amazing timing, though! And speaking of which: I was either in a game or watching a buddy play when they surrendered just before their Nexus went down. Two explosions right after another made my day. :V

That's the first time I've really pulled off an Axtinguisher rampage.  10 kills with the thing before a demo took me down.  Followed by a 5-kill soldier life and a 9-kill demo.

Why don't I always play like this?

Because then it wouldn't be fun for your opponents.
This is actually my friends justification for why he doesn't try in Halo, and it's not said ironically or sarcastically. He really is capable of shutting down the entire enemy team when he actually tries, even with minimal support from the rest of his team.

Lilligant in Pok?mon White is mean.  It comes with Own Tempo which prevents confusion and learns Petal Dance at LV48 which is as strong as SolarBeam but causes confusion after two turns, except it doesn't!  Also she learns Quiver Dance which ups her Sp. Atk, Sp. Def., and Spd.  And that's on top of her already high speed and Sp. Atk.  And I kept Sleep Powder on her.  I went through all 21 battles of the Single Subway like this = Turn 1: Sleep Power, Turn 2:  Quiver Dance, Turn 3-??: Petal Dance.  And I just put her on my team cause I wanted a "Yuuka."   :V

Nothing like a triple kill with a single Master Spark in League of Legends. Just so gratifying to have the other team assume you're just going for crowd-control abilities, but suddenly you get the Deathcap and your Ability Power leaps through the roof. Now, you're quite abruptly very dangerous. And from very far away.

Speaking of abruptly dangerous, I finally beat Zoe and Mr. Lobster in Monster Tale this morning after several tries. Turns out you can dash multiple times in a row, which I didn't know about until now. :P What I also didn't know was that the boss fight was glitched somehow, sometimes he'd roll off the side of the screen and never come back if you had too many pet items being used or something. I'll forgive Dreamrift since glitches happen, and I was able to figure out all the boss' patterns pretty much on my own. ^_^

Just tried fighting Phanter Cantus(Ultimate Boss) in TWEWY again, and holy crap these things hit HARD (I'm taking 1K damage per hit with max defense, while the final boss deals measly 160 damage.)

First I went with the good ol' cheapo method of Wolf Abusing, but then I tried doing it with the blacklit planets, didn't work...

I then created a new set from scratch and HOLYCRAP did it work, it was tough, but I made it.

Also, FREAKIN' MOON DROP FINISH FOR THE WIN.
