That is beautiful.

Very rarely, the reverse is also true. What are the odds of finding a BL2 and ignoring it?
There should be a "We don't need your stinkin' BL2" achievement: http://www.twitch.tv/frumple1/c/2957426

It got a lot sillier before that run ended. If you're having awful luck these days it's my fault, I'm sorry.

Oh I found a way to buy the BL2, but the preignitor and recovery arm had to stay behind. I found another of each later though and... well yeah. That game was a win

I go to the bathroom while my crew was improving the shields in a asteroid field, but I forgot that I turned off the O2 in the battle to power my shields, so when I came back I've got nothing but a dead crew and a game over... It really hurt myself!

Oooh those are terrible. I had a similar one, I had an "unlosable" fight where the total of his weapons was just enough to take my shields down to 0, but the total of my weapons was enough to get through his shields. I targeted everything at his shields, not bothering to volley or anything, and went to make a cup of coffee.

I got back and my ship was destroyed. It took all of 3 seconds to realize that while the best he could do is take down my shields all the way, that was all he HAD to do because he had a frickin' beam drone.

I just pause my game, get a drink, then sit back down. I don't leave my game unpaused for any reason, unless I'm at a store or something.

I have never left before FTL opened while I wasn't in front of the PC, and the punishment for once I did was so terrible... I had two burst lasers and a diverse crew and maybe that game was the best I've done for now At least I'll never left the O2 turned off again

I have a ship with all systems maxed out. I find a Mantis and a Zoltan ship battling in and asteroid so I choose to save the Zoltan ship. The Mantis ship turns out to be a Mantis Bomber with three Hermes missile launchers and a teleporter. My face goes as I die after about two volleys of the blasted missiles. Stuff you FTL.

I have one of those moments every time the heavy ion on the Vortex misses sending the battle spiraling.

Most of the rest is my own fault. Can't blame the game for when I don't open the map screen to check for stores before upgrading my ship for instance.
