Epic, monumental, humiliating fails....

I got chased all the way to Mexico by bounty hunters in Red Dead Redemption because I shot a domesticated dog in Armadillo. I just wanted the Unnatural Selection achievement, I didn't think they'd get that upset with me.

And in my defense, the dog attacked me.

Because I missed the first shot and hit its leg...

EDIT: Oh, lest I forget my discovery that mines I've deployed still detonate when shot by me, in Fallout 3. Especially when I was stood on a pile of 30+ of the fuckers.

I literally hit the roof of the skybox. It was freaky shit.

After nearly dying after defending my care package drop from 3 enemies, I was killed by said care package.

I was playing GTA4 with a friend of mine when he was sleeping round my house. Now, it was about 3:40 AM, so we were both fairly spaced out. I got in a helicopter, flew up as high as I could, and my friend told me that pressing Y shot missiles. Cue Niko getting a face-lift from a bridge.
The worst bit of it all, however, was that not 5 minutes ago, I got him with the very same trick. I felt very stupid for falling for it.

I died six times on the first boss in Link's Awakening DX.

Well don't worry, I have failed harder. For 2 years I didn't know how to open that fucking door in the first Dungeon

Dead Space, on Impossible. Oh that was fun...The severe lack of ammo early game and the overwhelming amount of Necromorphs trying to do bad things to me led to an almost fail filled playthrough.

Though the most stand out moment was with Mr.LimbLimb ( Y'know who he is...) Chapter 10, I panicked and closed of the Cryo-Beds to lock him out and laughing at my own genius I didn't realise there was a vent in the roof. A thunderous "CRASH" came from behind me and I turned and came face to face with it. Enough to say I screamed stasised everything in sight and swiftly died.

Also, on Chapters 4 and 9 there are points where you will use the store. EVERYTIME I forget about the Sneaky Necromorphs...I open up the store and then: "SMASH-Roar!", que me spamming the B button to get out of the shop and not die a painful death...

I was quite proud of finishing that on Impossible, without suffering several heart attacks.

Every single time I play a racing game. Definitely not my genre.

In TLoZ: A linkt to the Past, there is a temple. In that temple, you have to push a rock to get past. Now, when I came there, I had actually never pushed a rock, so I went to the rock, pressed a and tried to drag and push the rock, all of them actually. Then I tried every different item in the inventory. IIRC, I went out of the temple to look for some kind of solution. This continued for at least an hour. Then I checked a walktrough, saw the solution, facepalmed and closed the walktrough. It were as simple as walking forward, into the rock.

Used a grav lift in Halo 3, lifted a crate, I then went up in the lift, then I got crushed by the crate...damn, that was annoying.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

When I played WOW I was in a raid with my guild. While I was putting a lightwell down I accidently clicked on a chain attached to a giant magma worm. -.-

I was the guild master, I felt like an arch villain that had left her sinister robe tucked into her panties or something. The horror.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

I just had this playing Deus Ex.

I got owned on the training mission. Yep.

I dropped a crate of TNT, not knowing I had to crouch to do this as the game's inexplicably laggy tutorial messages only told me this after I blew my legs and arms off.

Then spent the next 20 minutes agonisingly slowly crawling around a large room like a crippled snail while constantly being shot at by the guard robot who couldn't finish me off because, well, it was just the training level and the game thought it was being nice to me. I've never wished for death in a game so much....

My fail was in the Tutorial Part of Deus Ex.

I had no idea how to equip the Life mask for the water and basically Posioned/drowned myself. My friend next to me called me an idiot and laughed at me the entire time.

Also in the first mission. I picked the stun Arrow and had it aimed at a guys head. It claimed it would stun, my actually cause them all to converge on my one point -headdesk-

 

[The Wykydtron]

Whenever i play Spy or Sniper on TF2 i will fail hard at least once per round (I'm still learning!)

"Ha backsta- SHIT PYROS NOOOOOOO!!!!!"

or on the Sniper side of things

"fuckin' Spies... AGAIN!"

I'm actually a decent Spy (i even manage to hit and run sometimes!) but i guess i need to work on blending in... And avoiding the fucking Pyros.

Hey at least i can aim the knife properly now!

 

[Zydrate]

I've had many DERP moments but sadly, I can't really remember most.
The only recent I can think of is Splinter Cell: Conviction. A mission where one cannot be detected at all... I tried getting past a couple guys only after ten failures I turned around and found a little hatch that helped me avoid like half the level >_>

 

[Zhadramekel]

When I first started playing The World Ends With You I always got stuck on the second day in the battles to free the Moyai statue (even though they're not difficult at all). The other thing is in Okami where you can mess up simple things like drawing dots (stars), lines and circles (bloom etc.)

In RDR, I was riding my horse when a pack of wolves started to chase me. I killed 1, and then aimed for the second. I was lining up the perfect shot, all slow motion and everythig. Soon as I pulled the trigger, the wolf had run beneath my horses head and I ended up killing my fav horse and flying a mile off . =(
