That moment

[bahihs]

Greetings forum dwellers,

The purpose of this thread is to share some crazy, strange, funny, epic, etc. moments in the game which you feel defines Cataclysm. The rule is it must be in the form: “That moment…”

Here are a few examples:

That moment when both your kneecaps are destroyed from a random landmine and you stumble into a forest only to be surrounded by giant man-eating spiders and you take out a cigarette, light it, take a long pull, feel the nicotine rush, and then light the goddamn forest on fire. Suck it, Smokey.

That moment when you hear noise in another room, know that its probably trouble, know that you probably can’t handle it, know that you need to get out now, but open the door anyway.

That moment when you finally create the perfect set of armor, fitted and reinforced to perfection, virtually unbreakable, painstakingly made over a period of months, and you find out there was a set of power armor just south of your initial location.

That moment when you find out about mininukes

And so on…

That moment when you realize your in the middle of a minefield and zombies are right behind you.

[Inquisitor_Dust]

That moment when you get up in the morning and open your front door, only for a zombear to step into the doorway and rip your arm off.
