playing half-life 2 on pc, just killed the chopper after trying for the third time due to a really low health bar, got to jump through the dam, hit the side of the opening, get into the wall and start spinning uncontrollably. the framerate kicked my pc's ass and froze on me. damn ancient computer.

Why not just a cookie? Because I like to go one step beyond.
i haven't really had a bad game freeze screw me like that as i tend to save often...however when i was stationed in korea i was playing legend of dragoon on my ps2..i don't even remember how many hours i had into that game (this was like 2002) but i know i was about halfway through the final disc and i had been a meticulous bastard about finding the best stuff that i could, so was high-level with great items and such...
Well one day my roommate decided to try the game out..and he hadn't done much with playstation at the time, being more on pc's (you see where this is going right? >.<) well i go to boot up my game....excited to finally finish it and gain a whole bunch of satisfaction over how badassly i handled things..only to find that the only save file was...20 minutes into the game...because he had overwritten my save by accident... i think my friends back in the states could hear me as this reverberated around the world...
i haven't been able to even look at that game since

The game was Team Fortress 2. We had successfully pushed those darned Reds back to their last means of defense...

I was the teams only doctor, and god damnit... People always say that death and injury during a war is a horrible thing to witness, but what do they know... They don't have to keep it from happening, they rely on others to do it for them... You can't even begin to imagine the things that I've seen...
With medical supplies short, I could only do so much to keep my comrades alive, I can't even bare to imagine the slaughter that would have taken place if I wasn't there.. We had a plan though! Victory... Close at hand, it was...
My friend... The Heavy had decided that it was up to him to take the countless volleys of bullets that zipped our way, but he could only do it with my help. I had faith in him, and knew that if we worked together, we could get the job done. I nodded, and turned my attention to him. We charged that point, his gun was blazing, our comrades close behind us.
As we got closer and closer, it was about that time... To Ubercharge my fair friend, and push the enemy out of position... That's... That's when it happened... My computer, she crashed that day... And when I returned... Everyone... Everyone was dead...

Second to last level on Uncharted Drake's Fortune, jump down fromsome ledge and BAM the game freezes and Nathan is still suspended in the air so I had to play the entire level again. The same thing happened and the third time I tried same thing happened then I just gave up and traded the game in.
Oh my god. Someone else remembers that game! So many good memories...
OT: Too many to count. Most rage inducing was probably at some point in Fallout 3. It taught me the meaning of "Save early, save often".

I finally finished weapon grinding in Freelancer off of some Outcasts in Leeds. I wanted Pyros Type II guns, very useful for the mission that takes you to Kusari. It takes a long time though as there aren't many Outcast's in Leeds and I haven't found a better spot to grind yet.
40 minutes of grinding later, I finally had enough to arm my ship... and then the game froze.
I don't know why but the game just stopped working before I could save.
I was angry...

My Xbox keeps freezing on me (in Splinter Cell, I couldn't even get past the title screen). I turn to Microsoft's troubleshooting for help. They say I should remove the hard drive. I do and the Xbox works like new. So I start a game of splinter cell (the plan was to play a round of hunter, if I make it through: yay! If not: ); ). I make it to the last part of the level, but my computer is still on. I think to my self "I wonder what Microsoft would have me do if this failed?" since I tried everything else. So I click the link and BAM! The game freezing right on cue. (At lest I don't have to replace my hard drive)
Twice in two days. First randomly while playing Red Dead Redemption, but it was shortly after an autosave so it was just annoying since I had to restart my system. Earlier it happened again when playing Assassin's Creed which annoyed me as it killed my momentum...went back to RDR after.
I've had dozens of crashes, but the one thing that annoys me the fucking most, is when the game doesn't even install.
I'm talking about "Cyclic Redundancy Errors". They piss me off so fucking bad.

There will always be those that search for meaning in life... After returning to the field to see my comrades fallen... The Heavy's hand still attached to Natasha but Heavy no where to be seen... The body of that goofball bastard of a Scout laying in a pool of blood... Many a lesser man would have fallen to their knees... Looking for a reason behind it all, asking themselves "Why... Why did this happen..."
I on the other hand knew that I'd be doing my team no justice if I sat down and pondered their misfortune... I guess the best thing to do after seeing such chaos is to move on... Find another team... And hope for the best...
It truly is amazing how the crash of one computer can be the downfall of an entire group... I guess you can say I do think about it every once in a while... Would I have fallen if I hadn't crashed? Would I be taken hostage due to my medical skills? Who knows... All I know is I lived to fight another day and I shall do just that...
Assassin's Creed 2. My case was actually pretty different from everyone else's. I hadn't just gotten past some incredible mile point or was at the final cutscene the second before the big reveal twist ending or anything. It was more or less during a situation in which I finally "got" the game.
How do I explain this... I had been spending half of the into that sets up Ezio's backstory kind of fumbling with some of the finer aspects of the controls. I had been so used to the more simplistic Assassin's Creed 1, for some reason, I couldn't jump right into this game. I think I was up to the third assassination when I finally really felt like a 15th century hitman badass. I had gone through an awesome series of stealth kills--jumped off a building and took down two guards with the dual hidden blades, quickly knifed a third guy and watched the fourth piss himself as he runs away like a *****. With my cover blown, I was certain that I would have to resort to the sword, but instead, I ran forward out of instinct and double-killed two more guards as they were drawing their swords.
That moment had a lot of emotion from me. I felt victorious for overcoming my handicap with the clunky controls, glorified for my success as Italy's newest notorious assassin, totally slick and suave as I smoothly dispatched five guys without hesitation, and absolute horror and dismay as my PS3 craps on me on me and Ezio freezes in place as he draws back his bloody blades.
Life sucks.
