Those BSNers that you happen to bump into.

Yep, it was me. And first it felt pretty ok with the lag, so I thought hey, it might be just fine! But then it kept on piling on. I even tried to get a video of a teammate running everywhere backwords (failed). And doing the w10 devices, I thought I was actually already on one device, actively doing it... until the game bounced me back onto a totally different corner of Rio . I started just laughing at that point (inbetween the cursing). And ended up having my opspacks just swallowed without any effect. Eventually ran out of everything when realized the gravity of it all. And I believe, if the other pug staying alive still woudl have kited with you, might have got those devices done - but he just stood there shooting, a few meters from the device, luring in all the enemies that you were valiantly trying to kite away . Looks like the others were experiencing the lag too, seeing people dropping like flies. Who knows, they may not have been where they seemed to be, either.

bonus chuckle: you wrote on screen: "You can Pull them" or something. By the time you wrote it, I had been dead and stomped for over half a minute. I had no pull.

Oh, you were right when trying to help me with that text; I did have Pull as a power, was testing Keanu the Drell (because he Reaves ). But above I was playing with the expression of having pull (with) - because not having that much impact on the enemies (a combo of me just being a bad drell in general and the extra loving help of the lag), and also being long dead by then.  That's how long the random lag spikes were, that incident demonstrated it perfectly.
But hey, we tried though. And yes, slaughterback1 was the guy I saw shuffling backwards everywhere.

It's been awhile, but anyway, it sure wasn't me. Haven't played in a very long while. But it's great to see that the servers are still running and people are still playing good ole ME3 MP

The thread title says it all.


I GIPed in this somewhere early, and Frank arrived much later, obviously.

************************************

But frankiscrank decided to stay for another one, too. For some time now, I've been wondering whether he just specifically searches for Reactor Hazard. But no, Reactor Hazard just happens when Frank's around!

And that... or something makes him excited :

You'll need to ask Frank but some of his excitement may, or may not, have been related to him finally managing to fry Geometry. Everyone else was methodically avoiding the Reactor, as if there was some ominous sense of doom awaiting them inside, go figure...

Keeping all threads alive - and seem to bump into BSNers that I haven't seen in quite a while.

Since my "How I learned to stop worrying and love the boom" was going all too well, it was about time to get a failed mission, too. Likely because having a Ragegellers'R'us start to the match on Dagger vs Cerbs, and then me derping some more, and getting stunned enough not to pull out my missile to save nick .

But the one bumping in my lobby was ctr2yellowbird vorcha! Nice to see you.

In this match, Cerberus definitely was not lazy; the troopers weren't dying even when they were pushed off the ramp.



Failed missions happen, luckily, pretty rarely for me, but we got revenge in the next matches - ctrl2yellowbird stayed for 2 more.

Much better, alive again - Making Reactor vs Collectors, and then Dagger again vs. Reapers, boomy! (Iirc, though, the pug Mr.Mophead went a bit nuke-happy on later waves in both games).


*****************
A few days ago, sitting in my lobby, got the cheerful greeting of "WTF?" as the first thing he said when popping in from burningcherry !  Ok, there was a reason for it too; arriving in a lobby with not just one, but two Quarian femgineers - himself being a Quarian m engineer. Too much of a coincidence (if you believe in such silliness), to just take a pass, so ahead we went.
Hazy Dagger vs. Reapers

LOL at the Killstreak achieved by grenades


Beautiful fiery Quarian greetings



Continued with the guys to Glacier Hazard vs. more bugs
I keep forgetting how squishy my Quarians are when that hazard buzzes by. So suffered a bit more over there, but we all extracted anyway.
Shoutout to also our pug (?) N7osta, who I've run into later games, too. Right after these matches, actually, he stayed with us for several games.

Lastly, just today noticed a BSN member name here ringing a bell, spotting their name in the Platinum solos thread. Nice to meet you, facedland ! Was suspecting as much, when ran into you in a match the other day, with the BatGuard.   In fact, it was the previous match right before seeing burningcherry!

Blizzardy White vs. Reapers

Me chilling and watching the guys in action


Also, a shoutout to ubikfrost, nice VolusGuard




Thanks for the plentiful games, guys! Always a pleasure running into fellow members for good games.

Always a pleasure running into you, even in the slightly dodgy circumstances of searching UUG and arriving in a clusterfuck wave 9 Jade Plat game with only one live teammate. What made it even funnier was the fact that I'd decided to play as a Collector with CAR with consumables more suited to Silver, in my first game in months. Still, I made it out, though I was sorry I couldn't revive you.

The Gold games were more my pace after the break I've had, totally addicted to XCOM2 - the closest thing to a turn-based strategy version of Mass Effect that I can imagine. But there comes a time when the allure of a 50 Melee medal is just too hard to resist! The games I played with the Kroguard were interesting as the host mirrored my loadout but then didn't return my headbutts. Pyjak!

I should say to you, and anyone else I might run into on PS3, I have serious controller issues which are best eased by not trying to exchange messages until the session is finished (I have a semi-working DS4 controller, but if I press the PS button on my completely fried DS3 one to go out to the messages, it takes over and i can't use the DS4 one again.)

FOR TUCHANKA!!! 

I ran into our very own lumd and HUx57 for a few really fun matches

Shoutouts to IdjitHunter for the game last night. gg. thanks for sticking around and hopefully the lag was no unbearable. ah, who am i kidding, my host is my host. cheers for soldiering on.

Ran into @scarletj5 today a few hours after getting in from work...i was super tired, but i had to get a few runs in....i was the demolisher for a few games and ended my last game with the phoenix vg.....
i think he was a geth infil, then switched over to a vorcha i think...


Scarlet was basically soloing the entire matches i played with him lol....dude is super deadly with the venom..( i cannot make that gun work for me to save my life... )...i was running around like a chicken with its head cut off...i'd hear explosions in one area, i'd run to it and this guy had already cleared everything out..... .....we did a couple of geth sets and i think we ended with a Reaper reactor gold run...i had to bounce after that tho...i fell asleep a couple of times during that match... .ggs bro!.....


Those geth matches was annoying as hell tho....felt like i couldn't get into position...the demolisher is a bit squishy so i stay close to her pylon in certain scenarios...felt like everytime i went into cover i was getting blasted by rocket troopers.."oh ok let deal with y...agggh"...."turns around"....pyro flame of death...runs from pyro...takes multiple rockets from various rocket troopers...
