FML moments in videogames...

[LogicNProportion]

Reached a checkpoint on Halo 3 when I was getting out of a Hornet, and plummeted to my death. I respawn in mid-air, and then fell to my death. Spawn, fall. Spawn, fall. Spawn, fall.

You get it.

This also happened in Mass Effect 1. Reached check point as I was approaching a geth sniper spot on that one world where there's lava everywhere. I got the checkpoint with the damn bot's shot in the air, which hit me with a head-shot, killing me instantly. Every time I spawned, I relived the head-shot. Again and again.

What are you personal FML moments in videogames?
Incase Some dont know, FML= Fuck my life

There was that time I put Rise of the Argonauts in my disc tray. Oh, how I wish I could spray bleach inside my Xbox without it breaking :-(

I was thinking the same thing, but replace "Rise of the Argonauts" with "inFamous" and "Xbox" with "PS3".

To make matters worse, at the time I was of the mindset that as long as I was playing the game and the trophies are easy enough, I might as well get them all regardless of how little fun I was having. I ended up finishing the game as Blue Lightning Cole (I refuse to call his personalities good and evil because they are both the same damn douchebag, only difference is the color lightning they shoot) but I still had a few of the trophies tied to playing with blue lightning. I got bored grinding XP and decided to start my red lightning and hard mode playthrough for those trophies. However, one of the times I saved, I went auto-pilot and accidentally saved over my blue lightning file. Talk about FML, now I had to play that shit THREE TIMES to get all the trophies instead of just two, because now I needed another full playthrough with blue lightning to get one of the trophies (it was for maxing out all the blue lightning moves).

The only good thing that came out of me playing that game was that after I was finished and felt absolutely no sense of accomplishment whatsoever as the "Platinum Trophy Unlocked" notification came onscreen, I realized that trophies and achievements aren't as great as I had thought and suffering through a game I am hating every single aspect of just to get more isn't worth it, and from now on I only go for completion in games I'm enjoying. So I guess I can say thanks to Sucker Punch for that, their absolute failure as game developers taught me a life lesson.

When I was younger, I'd gotten my first PS2, and had Lego Star Wars, and I'd gotten almost everything in it. I had all those little brick things, Master Jedi on every level, and all but one character left to buy. I was just rounding up the last 5,000 bolts, or whatever their called, and there was a power outage as I exited the level. Save file corrupt, had to start the whole damn thing again. Needless to say, I was pissed.
