Almost there...no!

I do it in art a lot. I can be all in-the-mood to start on some commissioned piece and get everything out and begin in gusto, and then realise I've made everyone look like a horse and i have to spend hours fixing it and nudging every little feature around slightly.

In games I tend to fail hugely, rather than small at the end.

I was trying to get Akimbo Assassin on L4D, I'm on the finale, and I just killed the second Tank. I heal up, then a hunter jumps out me and I whip out a SMG and fire off 2 rounds on accident. And the worst part is, they BOTH MISSED. Goddamnit.

I did that as well (only it was a pump shotgun for me). After that embarrassing debacle, I just didn't pick up a primary weapon to begin with to prevent such a fate from happening when I tried for the achievement again. When I tried to go for the "no health packs" achievement, I had made it to the end of No Mercy and some dolt used a medkit just before the last tank arrived. I wanted to punch that guy in the kids.

Team Fortress 2: Being stabbed by a Spy steps before you cap the Intel and win the game.

Spycheck, goddamnit!

Playing the end of Far Cry 2 in the Heart of Darkness - which was quite frustrating, but I had to finish the game - and had just completed a rather difficult firefight with several mercenaries. Glad I was finished with the ordeal, and nearly halfway through the Heart, I started sprinting to the objective... and then pressed "crouch".

I kneeslided off a cliff to my death. And my buddies were all dead. I haven't touched the game since. Fuck you, Far Cry 2.


Fuck you.

lol...you did not save, you have a nervous finger and blame it on the game?

I did save, actually. There is no way to save in the middle of a half-an-hour long shoot-out, you know. I blame Far Cry 2's save system, not the game itself.

Single player, myself and 3 AI's all somehow held out to see the arrival of the boat on L4D's Death Toll campaign without taking any damage - don't ask me how. We all sprinted for the boat and raced onto the docks, when without ANY WARNING whatsoever Zoey turns and launches into the pursuing infected. Needless to say she was incapped in seconds, leading my gormless friends to follow suit. The Untouchables achievement gone for the silliest of reasons, I was stunned into hesitation, only for a second, and just as the boat stopped at the pier I was Smokered off into the night.
Cue swearing.
