I hate those moments in Halo multiplayer after you punch an enemy when you can't for the life of you find where he went to finish the job. That's basically when I lose all sense of knowing what I'm doing, and just start button mashing.
Gaming moments that make you panic.

Yeah, same thing here. I had to stop playing for a while, because my hands were shaking so much that I couldn't close the damn latches.TheSaw said:
Also Dragon Age: Origins, when Leliana confronted me about sleeping with Morrigan, after I'd lied to her the previous time.
Most panicky moment for me was when playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC with L.U.R.K. mod (playing on master). I was planning to do a simple side mission in one of the early areas of the game, which went very badly due to a couple of idiotic mistakes on my part. First, I forgot to buy ammo which I really needed. Second, I left in the evening, not realising that night in L.U.R.K. is literally a black screen. Third, I misread my map or something.
The result: me getting lost without realising it, and suddenly finding myself in the bloodsucker village in the middle of the night with just a handful of rounds left. I think I killed two of them with great effort, but then I was down to two or three rounds left for my pistol, and nothing else. I heard something getting close so I freaked out and for some reason decided the best course of action would be to hide rather than to run away, so I run into one of the houses and head for the cellar. Feeling relatively safe, I switched off night vision because I wasn't sure if the AI can hear the noise it makes. I waited there for a while, and thought I'd carefully try to make my way to safety as I hadn't heard any further bloodsucker-related sounds.
I switch on my night vision again, and that's when I notice there's a bloodsucker right in my face, who has apparently been waiting for this very moment, laughing quietly to himself in anticipation of the shitstain that was to form in my pants. I ran like I've never run before in that game, and never again went anywhere near the bloodsucker village in the evenings during that playthrough.

Dragon age 2
When Anders blew up the chantry. I was freaking out, and even yelled out loud "GODDAMNINT ANDERS!", which startled my cousin in the other room
I think he's referring to the creepers in Minecraft.
Mine comes from RTS games at any point when I realize I'm losing; you spend a long period of time preparing yourself for the showdown, so to have that delayed feeling of loss kinda gets you racing. Still, by then if you're not prepared, you're dead.
