This happened to me while playing Gears of War... the game didn't interest me that much but I carried on playing... the whole situation just seemed funny.Stalk3rchief said:
This seem like a strangely common theme as it happened to me while playing GTA:4 Although she wasn't trying to get my attention she was just bored.Stalk3rchief said:
This also happened to me but in the more recent earthquake a couple of years ago, it was 1am and I had just put my 360 controller down to grab a snack and a cuppa and the desk started shaking, I was 18 at the time and still my first thought was that the rumble pack was having some kind of hissy fit.Rostello said:
That's absolutely brilliant. I love it when your brain jumps to a conclusion that later you realise was ridiculous.Rostello said:
Like when I was snowboarding and I wipedout unexpectedly, my hat and goggles flew off as I smashed face first into the hard snow. With the sudden brightness and cold that came with losing them, the first thing I thought was "OMG, my head's just come off" Took me a couple of seconds to figure out that this was clearly not the case.
Ummm... gaming related? My friends dog stood on the controller lead to my PS2, pulling it off the desk and breaking it forever. Yeah..... not that crazy, just irritating.
Haha, I was up and awake for that one as well, I live in a loft conversion and I assumed that my cousin, on the floor below me, was throwing a hissy fit over something. How I thought he was shaking the house, I wasn't really sure.Rusman said:
... you mean there's any tone of voice you can say that in that doesn't sound incredibly innuendo-filled? (I do love gaming silly voices though. Worms is infinitely improved (and it was pretty good to start with) by being played with friends at 1am and acting out the parts of all the worms on your team.)lostclause said:
A slightly scary one - I was sneaking a quick bit of pre-work Final Fantasy X a few years back, when we had a short, sudden power cut. Annoyed that I'd lost my progress, I took it as a sign that I should leave. But when I got to the Tube, all the power was down there, too. This was about 8:30am on the 7th of July, 2005 - the day of the London bombings, which turned out to be what caused the power outage...
I remeber one time when i was younger i was playing Pokemon Gold on my Game Boy Advance and i had to use the bathroom. I was in a gym battle and some serious shit was going down but i really needed to take a piss, so i decided to multi task. So im standing over the toilet playing the game and pissing at the same time (my member in one hand, my GBA in the other) . So i finish and get ready to flush, when all of sudden my game slips out of my hand and falls into the fuckin toilet! now im fishin for it, and when i get it, it goes awol on me and is only playin Gameboy games.
I was in a friends house playing on a brand new PC (back then pentium 1 166Mhz and 32Mb Ram).
At one point there was the sound effect of glass, and the friends mother panicked and insisted we step away from the PC and never touch it again.
But you have to remember that before that, the PCs that she owned only ever beeped.

I was playing a computer game once, a long time ago when I was around 10 (I think it was Cluefinders: 3rd Grade Adventures), I was jst about to open the doors to the final area, when the power went out. When it came back on, I was at the same place, standing in front of those doors, but all my items were gone, including the key I needed to open the aforementioned doors. I had to start the whole game over again.
BTW, Cluefinders was the best series of games I ever played lol.
Just kidding.
I also forgot to mention that I'm positive this was not the craziest thing to ever happen to me while gaming, it's just all I can think of right now.

I finally beat my friend in PGR4, in a very long race. He was right on my tail, I was about to win. I tried a stupid trick to cross the finishig line sideways, which would have been fine, but I cheered and raised both my hands. I forgot I didn't have a cordless controller. I pulled the entire console out of a shelf. Screen blacked out. Luckily the xbox survived. Not exactly crazy.
Come to think of it, there was one time I was playing Half Life back in 2002. I was overclocking my ancient computer. Somehow a big bug decided it was a good idea to crawl into the cooler. The fan stopped and *swoosh*, flames out of the air outlets. Short sirquit and blim, a ruined computer.

Outside of Nc-17 releated situations which are none of your business.
Once when I was playing I think Yoshi's Island (on snes) there is a part where if you hit cotton balls; you become dizzy, the music drags, and the screen gets all wobbily. My mother saw my brother and I playing this and said "I think the tape in your game is dragging"

Dude, you don't even know what happened after the match. Trust me, I am in no way a fool.
