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’re running from a horde of zombies, they’re right on your tail, and you throw a molotov backwards… Only to find out that you throw molotovs in a straight line rather than an arc and immolate yourself.
That moment when you’re driving along the highway at 350MPH and hit a landmine, causing your entire vehicle to catch on fire, but you survive another 10 map tiles before you crash into a gas station and go up in a giant explosion.
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.
That moment where you first use a mininuke, and realize your weak character can barely throw it anywhere, and you fail to outrun the explosion.
That moment when you fight
zombie hordes, slay shogoths, and build doom machines, only to gently clip a car on the side of the road at 19 miles per hour and explode 10 times
