*****Your last Pug in one word*****

EXTRACTION!!!

As in, these guys couldn't wait to get out of Hydra/Cerberus, because they were camping the LZ the entire game. Host was a Juggernaut with a Black Widow and EXTRA BIGASS HEX SHIELD, which they all cowered behind for the duration of the game. Waves 3 and 6 were Pizzas, fortunately my connection to the host was pretty good so after clearing the courtyard I was able to run it straight across every time. Wave 10, though, was Devices, and none of the pugs budged an inch. So I went over to the LZ to join them, because I wasn't even going to try doing 4 devices all by myself with nobody around to keep the Phantoms busy.

Well after 2 minutes of LZ camping, the only thing the team had succeeded in doing was getting both non-jug pugs sync killed by an Atlas. It was just me and the Jug now. So I asked him what was the plan? Were we ever going to move? Surprisingly, he started moving! I won't say he did a stellar job, but I was able to activate all four Devices without any trouble really.

I thanked him for moving. He responded by returning to the LZ, whereupon he immediately got overrun and I had to wrap up Wave 10 by myself.

Lag-free.

Have had nothing but "fuck this game" lag lately, leading to finishing Geralt's story in W1. Started. W2 today, but that is a different sub.

Played late on Thursday night, couldn't sleep. About 2:30am my time, which lead to lovely California hosts. 3 or 4 painfree matches, the connection was good enough to ignore the preset lobby.

Good times, made another level 1 video from it (CLAYMOAR) and had a good time. It was kind of a relief.

Was it at least full-automatic?!

The lobby was a Juggernaut and a Volus. Of course neither of them had any equipment on, so I wasn't expecting much from this group. But the match turned into a real treat.

We got London/Collectors. The two of them camped the top of the right-side ramp all game. And by "all game", I mean the first 3 Waves, because that's all the further we got. The Wave 3 Objective was the hack under the ramp. Even though it was a mere 10 feet away, neither of them showed any inclination to participate, and I was the only one hacking. After about a minute of this, I decided I was playing for the wrong team, and fixed that.

I went upstairs and started Proxy Mine/Scorpion/Heavy Melee spamming the Volus. Now I couldn't actually hurt him, but Harbinger saw what was going on, and wanted in on the fun. He assumed direct control of a nearby Scion, and started spamming grenades up the ramp, a dozen at a time. Between him and my ongoing staggerfest, we made short work of the Volus. We now turned our attention to the Juggernaut. He was trying to juggle Heavy Meleeing me to stay alive, while also trying to revive the Volus. And he succeeded a few times, but once we got him down, it was smooth sailing from there on out. It must be said though that I have NEVER seen a pug use that many Gels in my life.

I told them to step in the hack next time, suicided myself, and disconnected before the scoreboard even came up. Maybe next time they will step in the hack.

Team STG, Pug Police.

But after that, hosted a few good matches with Mister_Onion, including a fun Hazard/Derperos/Gold where we used asari masteh race to slay lots of cerbies (I was using a tanky Valkyrie). On wave 11 I accidentally found myself under a roof spawn area and had Dragoons, my most hated enemy, pooped onto me at an alarming rate. However, judicious application of LOLREEGAR cheese and AF/Warp caused them to DDDDIIIIIEEEE until a Phantom shot me with her Mega Buster.

I later switched to the Drelldept, a class I had not played in forever, and died all over Gawdess/Reaper/Gold. I can see why skilled players tear things up with this guy, but I just have to get used to his ridiculous speed and dodge capabilities. Among other things, Ravagers appeared to be spawning behind me every 1.5 seconds. We all extracted though.

Outplayed.

Played a game with some PUGS and it was Dagger/Reapers. Everything was going fine, a bit of lag, but playable. On wave 3 we killed a Banshee after objective cleanup, she died, but her "aura" and silhouette was still there, hanging in the air, for the rest of the game in a doorway. The fite goes on and I of course I stopped reacting to that thingamabob and was running around without a care in the world.

You might just guess what happened on the extraction wave. Yep, got grabbed by a Banshee in the EXACT SAME SPOT where the aura was

I'm sure my reaction to such CPU sleight of hand would be calm and rational indeed:

Improbable.

Collectors on Glacier, took 20.03, which, considering all things PS3 is reasonably impressive for a pug. We even had 3 waves survived! I don't know if JulianB has made the jump over here but it's always a pleasure running into him.

In all seriousness, I played maybe 8 Gold pug games earlier, and it's one of those happy but rare occasions when I can say "Good game, well played" to every other player I ran into.

I now know the block feature doesnt work on the ps3....cuz the only 2 dickheads I have blocked...I just ran into.

Maybe they just found the shoot button.

heh, i was going for that clickbaity part of it true. it was quite funny first esp when it goes into the overdrive with two audistreams at once but got old quicker than good'ol wrwrwrwrwr, to the point that I'll have to put hurrdurr aside for a while. btw it has also happened to SalMasRac , the same place/map
