Endless Knight: that AR challenge I adore because ENDLESS PREDATOR MISSION. Goes from ‘Imma get that sucker, and that one, and him too--’ to ‘Jason, please. I have no more vantage points and one grate to my name. have mercy, I beg of you.’
-The players: Me (Batman), a minigunner, and a little dude following the big dude around like a puppy.
The plan: glide down like a smooth criminal, silent takedown the little guy and skip merrily away.
The fuck-up: pulled up last-minute to dodge a surprise mine and crashed into the little guy like Mulan into Shang. Minigunner took offense to me assaulting his friend like that. It hurt.
-Intended to drop down silently behind somebody. Misjudged distance and fell on him instead. I don’t know who was more shocked, but I did feel bad about it. So. Sorry, buddy.
-Intended to pull off a ledge takedown on what they call Platform 2 and what I call Hit-’n-Run Hallway. Bruce decided to clamber over the railing...and onto a mine. Why, Bruce. Why would you do that.
-Crashed through a wall to pull off a fear takedown. Fear takedown foiled due to some sneaky bastard dropping like, five mines RIGHT THERE when I wasn’t looking.
-Hung down to try and gain one more inch to pull off an inverted takedown. SOMEBODY threw a mine up there and Bruce refused to get off before it blew.
-Flicked Batarangs to try and lure a minigunner near a generator. Minigunner decided he’d rather just shoot me, like a dick.
-Froze a minigunner to pull off the ultimate asshole move: spraying explosive gel near him and blasting his ass sky-high while he was stuck there. Got spotted. Insult to injury: Jason decided to monologue about ‘one slip-up, that’s all it’ll take’, which. Wow. You little shit. I give you a library and you hurt me like this. Sharper than a serpent’s tooth, I guess...
-Had time and no disruptor ammo left. Thought I’d have some fun by putting that remote control Batarang to good use. Game took pity after somebody started crying and spawned a minigunner...right under me.
-TRIED to pull off a silent takedown. Bruce thought it would be more fun to drop a smoke pellet. Tried to get the guy anyway, but was blind and...didn’t see the mine below.
-Decided to lay the beatdown on somebody talking smack. Hit him boots-first and sent him down the stairs...but his friends were at the bottom and they killed me. Did I really win? I think no.
