Biggest "whoops" moment in gaming?

[the monopoly guy]

as a vampire in oblivion, i /waited an hour too long and died

Happens all the god damn time

And don't even get me started on those mudcrabs!!!

Mucrabs are one of the most disgusting animals I have ever seen. Not to mention the most pointless- one strike and they are dead. They serve to be little more than a distraction.

They can give you Swamp Fever though, which is a pain especially if your carrying alot of stuff.

One has never been alive long enough to give me a disease. The worst is when a Wraith curses you and your strength takes a huge hit. This usually lives me stood there swinging my sword wildly while they blast me from a distance.

I never saw it coming...I, I never saw it coming...

I just finished killing one then another jumped out of nowhere and attacked me, I contracted swamp fever and was over encumbered.

It breaks my heart having to drop stuff, no matter how trivial the object.

I remeber when I first played Oblivion and I thought it would be a great idea to be a Wood Elf and collect loads of cutlery, convinced that I would find a use for it. I ended up becoming overencumbered with about 60 spoons and loads of plates.

I do the same thing, I carry around alot of clothes, but I barely ever where anything other then my monk robe and a hood.

I was playing scout in tf2. Needless to say, I heard like 7 sentry guns in the intelligence room on Two Fort. So I was like "Blaw, whatever. I'll give it a try. So I run into the Intelligence, and what do you know, no turrets. I was like "Oh cool" the 2 seconds I stopped, I got backstabbed by a spy. I was not happy.

I'm loving this thread guys! Hilarious stories.
I've got a few from Left 4 Dead.

My favorite was when I was playing co-op with my brother and some friends on intermediate. i saw the saferoom before anyone else. I also saw the car alarm before anyone else. I said "Hey guys wanna hear something terrifying?". Of course my brother said "Yeah sure!" So i shot the car alarm. Then i ran to the saferoom, figuring my team was still behind me i threw a molotov at the front of the door and ran in and shut the door. i turned around to watch my team trying to fight off tonnes of infected as the fire crept closer and closer to the witch. Needless to say i lost some friends that day.

Another of my favorites was when i first started playing. I was listening to music while playing online on expert, so i couldn't really hear anything happening in the game. We got about halfway through the level when my friend said where's the witch. i turned a corner and there she was. My friend said the funniest thing was watching me run past all of them as i screamed "I found her, i found her, i found her!"

Accidentally pressing the Windows key when desperately trying to get away from all the angry Pyros.

That, many times, but with all others.

Back when I was playing halo 3...
I was snipeing some guy, and when I finally was going to hit him, my thumb slipped off the damn analog stick and I some how sniped myself.
Confused I looked in theater mode and saw that the bullet bounced off one of the walls...then I just failed.

You'd think a high-energy-armor-piercing shell wouldn't bounce off of walls, but actually go through them...

Tried Using V.A.T.S in Call of Duty

needless to say it didnt end well

 

[EzraPound]

Opting for the lame ending in No More Heroes, missing the last boss fight, then realizing I had to play the whole thing over again (since if you save after you beat the game it automatically switches your save game to the beginning of the game on a harder difficulty).

Hehe, that's a pretty good one

 

[SilentScream]

World of Warcraft - Naxxramas 2.0. So here we are at Grobbulus for the 10th time of the night (don't get me wrong, we were having an unusually bad night). Everything's going great. I'm main tanking of course, and this is going smooth as butter. 17%. I see no reason why we would wipe at this point, so I go to key up in vent and tell the group good job. Only my vent key is right next to my Windows key.

By the time I was able to tab back in we were dead =(

 

[KrisKing]

Halo 3; team rockets on narrows, aiming directly at two enemies i fired at them, but i didnt see my teammate jumping along in front of me so he got in the way...overkill extermination...on my team, got booted. Bad times.

 

[KrisKing]

Or you could just say my biggest Whoops moment would be when i get to the end of an rpg after not saving it for a while and i accidently finish the game without doing any of the fun side quest things

I wear my madness armour, making even the toughest characters hits to me as eing little more than a distraction, its made the game ridiculously easy, especially when combined with my Nords resistance anyway. And how can you SURVIVE without armour?!

First time playing the first AvP game as marine...the bit when you see the first alien down the deserted corridor. Motion tracker starts beeping in true aliens fashion "they're coming out of the godamn walls!". Anyways i pump a whole clip out miss with all the bullets then the two grenades from the alt fire of machine gun. Dead within a few seconds. Aliens 1 Me 0

 

[HaruHearts]

Simple, greneade thrown, greneade bounces, greneade blows up in face.

 

[Segadroid]

When I shot my allies' plane down in Battlefield Heroes-Beta:

Me: I hear something...

*Jumps in AA gun*

*Sees a plane with people on the wings coming right at him*

Allie: (Thinking) I'll just drop my buddies right next to that AA gun so they're safe...

*AA gun fires*

Allie: WTF R U DOIN!!!@

*crashes, all people on plane die*

Me:...Whoops.

XD

Well, I do use a steel sheild I think, I am also an Argonian (only becuase they can breathe underwater and I didn't know about the water breathing helmet, and they resist poison and disease) and at level 9. I have trouble with multiple enemies, but nothing a little running around and around while I heal myself can't handle.

Why have you chosen the games most difficult and pointless concepts? I have a Lvl 32 Nord which kicks arse and yer it may be the old "Grab a sword, and slash everything in sight while wearing hell armour" but it WORKS.

Mostly to get that kind of reaction out of people, but even more mostly because it's different and a challenge.

i was playing online on men of war an i had some rocket artilery firing on the enemys positions i run out of ammo the ammo truck has no ammo for the artilery.
so i order the crew to exit and join an infantry unit but then a thought crosses my mind what if the enemy team captures it and some how finds ammo to use against us so i decided to get some dynamite out of the ammo truck and plant it on my artilery.
when it exploded the explosion and flying wreckage procided to destroy half of my allies artillery aswell.

When playing PS3 version of Half life 2, a button-press too late made my SMG blow a grenade launcher point-blank on a wall when I just wanted my Grav Gun to suck a vent. Of course, dead.
