Laggy.
Hosted by a fellow HInfil - shame I was forced to do a lot of 'running on the spot' and sync-flipped left/right constantly. Still caught up in score, even if it took shots 5 seconds to register damage - but far too laggy to survive or keep up, leading to all medi-gel wasted - and eventual wipe.
Boredquit
Maybe "spitequit". It was a fairly laggy Geth/Giant/Gold game, the host and I were basically duo-ing because the other two PUGs were practically useless (although they were presumably struggling from the lag). We got the hack objective in the control room; I started the hack while the others ran around on the opposite side of the map. The countdown reached 3:00 and the hack still wasn't even half finished, the others had shown zero inclination to assist with it, and I was getting bored, so I quit. I only wish I could know whether they noticed in time, of if they were bewildered by a sudden "mission failed".
Gold game, arrived at wave 2, I think. Great players. Everyone's always in the right position at the right moment and the objectives are completed quickly. Nobody ever died, maybe 1 or 2 revives during all the game0. No Possessed Abomination right next a player whose shields just happen to be down at that moment. No silly 'I-can't-shoot-my-gun-anymore-bug'.
Extraction was executed almost flawlessly. We were all trying to attract the baddies out of the landing zone, far away from it. We run at 20 seconds. One scion in the way, quickly dispatched with a ready rocket. Switch back to gun, about 10 seconds left, everyone else arrives to take position in the landing zone. One praetorian. It should be quickly dispatched with all our guns. Another one. Another scion. Suddenly there's 1 second left and we're all down... Nobody extracted alive out of this frigging otherwise perfect game!!! DAMMIT! This game is trolling me, really. I though it was just the equipment boxes, but it's the entire game. It's personal, I feel it. 
Or maybe I'm just too tired to play. Maybe. 
Embarrassing 
I almost never used Venom so I didn't know how to effectively use it and last night I foolishly chose Gold to try it out :/
To say that I contributed would be a massive overstatement; it was so embarrassing both the amount of damage I dealt and how in the range of 5 waves I wasted all of my medigels already. Didn't want to burden the team any further so I just quit. I was using the Krogan Soldier.
It's just not my kind of gun, I suppose :/
Also, recently I have found a very nice groove playing as Batarian Soldier. This dude is really cool, clearing many Gold games with him already with good/great scores, and none of them were any difficult to pull off when playing as him.
Laggy.
Geth/Dagger/Gold. At first it went well. Four biotics - my Asgard, a Warlord, a Slayer, and, uhh, I forget what else. Then wave seven, I suddenly developed almost 3 seconds of lag. Which resulted in me charging randomly at thin air seconds after the target had already died, meanwhile for three seconds after charging, I was being BBQed by a pair of pyros back where I charged from, and then instarevived somewhere else entirely.
Somehow the slash-spamming Slayer was topping the score 
. Though in the slayer's favor, he did help with the escort, while the other two completely ignored it. Yeah, leave the Vanguards stuck in the escort while the other guys run around... After getting instastomped by a Pyro on wave 9, I watched the others run around for a bit, and decided to quit before the lag got worse.
Played Platinum Zombie Mod, first time ever. Had never tested it. It's pretty hard but it's fun, really have to work as a team. Even with me hacking some of the bosses to be on our side they died pretty quick.
^Glad I only play that game during weekend events, so I haven't developed the "press-F-to-open-doors/revive" syndrome. The MP is still full of bugs.

Die-in.
I figured since the rest of the team decided to play dead on wave two that that was the object of the game. So I followed suit. Everybody wins!
Struggle....
Gold/White/Reapers....this group kinda caught me off guard because they looked ok on paper...A krogan sent, a human soldier and a human engineer. These guys tried hard, but when they wiped on wave 3 targets i knew it was going to be a tough haul. I had to clutch wave 3, 7,8, 10....which is pretty rare because wave 8 always seems to do me in in some manner when i have to clutch. Wave 6 hack at the bottom of the map near the back of it was crazy as we kept getting overrun by Banshees and Brutes, but we barely made it out alive.
Tough match, but you appreciate these types of games...crash and burn all the way to extraction...and afterwards take a trip to Omega to watch some Asari shake that a$$.....
^ there are no Banshees on wave 6 Rippaz Gold.

It's that their screaming is still echoing in your head from wave 3 onwards

Reason #307 not to play platinum.... so much NNnnnnnYyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

Maybe that was wave 10...then? That could explain the getting overrun by Banshees and Brutes....
...Wave 6 was most likely a pizza run then...
Bleedout.
I seem to be getting a lot of bad games lately. Not all of them, but it seems Origin had a sale or something, because there is an influx of players on Gold who, uh, would be better suited to a lower difficulty level. Like perhaps Narrative.
I had the displeasure of landing into a London game with a sniping Slayer. He hid behind the box all game, using his black widow and Phase Disruptor to wallbang all the things. All 22k's worth of them.
If it had just been that, it wouldn't have been so bad. But I soloed the wave 6 pizza delivery...or might as well have done, as the entire Cerberus force spawned on the LZ as I was making my first delivery, while my team mates hid on the other side of the map. Wave 10 was devices...which we amazingly pulled off, though I did have to get on the mic and say something to the tune of "hey assholes, these devices aren't going to activate themselves if I die" while I got swarmed on the first two devices.
By Wave 11, I simply didn't care. I embraced the Phantoms sword as it went through my poor Turian's gut, safe in the knowledge that our painful experience was now over.

The Praetorians on our side died heroes. Their sacrifice will be honored in the coming empire.

Vormav...
Granted it's not technically a word but it wasn't technically my last PuG either - it was, however, the name of the awesome random in my lobby for the last 5 PUGs
It's not a great advertisement for the other 2 randoms in that last game though, where one was using a TGI and the other an AIU/Reeger and neither of them, on a wave 10 wipe, Hydra/Collectors, scored more than about 35k whereas I was in 2nd place with a melee specced Volus Vanguard + Batarian Gauntlet at about 85k and Vormav, using a Volus Mercanary / Typhoon was just shy of 130k.
Was pretty funny though 
CorpusDei
So it's Latin, technically two words, and used as a name. Good games and much fun. I missed a couple shots from laughing back on Vancouver after you rocketed a lone turret... it had it coming. Would have left before the last match but saw you ready up with a Bat gaunt Volus and had to see what happened next.

lol should have known you'd be on here
BatGaunt Volus doesn't do so well on Hydra vs Collectors ... especially vs Collectors; the bees.. oh the bees. If you can't charge every half second with that build, you die ... a lot ... as you probably noticed!
Yeah, I do tend to lose my rag a bit with Cerberus and do things like rocket turrets!
I don't often host but I got bored trying to find a U/U/G lobby in quick match so kitted out a DrellGuard and started a lobby solo... then decided to stick with it and take the opportunity to Vanguard on host for a few games. Thanks for sticking around, definitely made the games easier and meant that whenever I made bad Vanguard blunders it didn't result in a wipe Good times!
Luck.
There was a split second difference between a sword in the gut and extracting.

Haven't played Salarian Engie for at least a year. Still had the detonator setup I used him with. I pulled a nice lobby and we got Geth - it was a cakewalk.
