'shudder'

Back to your other point though... just do a second playthrough before ME3 comes out. There are guides on the web for how to save everyone!
Oh yeah, just remembered.....

As a side note, I'm a huge fan of your songs. Can I get your autograph?

I can totally envision your next smash-hit tune:

Miracle of Sound Presents His Next Masterpiece of Mind-Blowing Tasty Fun:

Henry Gets Chopped Up: A Song Dedicated To Henry

Eagerly anticipating MoSPHNMoMBTF:HGCU:ASDTH.

Or, you could pen a song dedicated to all of those ugly Shephards out there. It'll be like Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls" because, after all, Ugly Shephards need some lovin' too!

I know it's a bit of a noob question , but how do you do Spoiler Tags?
You type in bracket, spoiler, bracket, add in whatever you need to say and then end it with bracket, /spoiler, bracket. For example:

My Nintendo DS once tried to bite off my fingers

I hope this helps.

I was shocked at how bad Fallout 3 was. Literally. Everyone I know likes it, but it's... the game is utter shit!

spaces added in the examples...
[ s p o i l e r ] enter the spoiler info here [ / s p o i l e r ]
and it comes out looking like this...

enter the spoiler info here

You can change the wording of the unclicked spoiler tag like this:
[ s p o i l e r = Fun Spoiler Tag Words!] enter the spoiler info here [ / s p o i l e r ]
and that looks like this...
enter the spoiler info here

A tip: if you ever want to know how to do something on this forum, just click "quote" on a post in which someone does it. It'll show up in the reply box and have the text formatted so you can see how it's done.

In a sad way:
Silent Hill 2.
You've been looking for your supposedly dead wife who sent you a letter, and when you think your close, you find a tape. The tape shows what REALLY happened to your wife. That and the sad extremely ironic letter at the end made it very heartbreaking. It's quite saddening, watching an already broken, depressed, battered man figure out that his horriffic journey with terrifying monsters and tremendous obstacles was only to show him that HE is the real monster.
In a shocked way:
Dead Space
I mean right at the end. I was expecting something to be in the cockpit, but that thing was screwed up looking. And the noise it made. I was only like 4 feet away from the screen and I almost fell back in my chair.
In a freaking screwed up way:
F.E.A.R. 2
F.E.A.R. isn't very scary in my oppinion, but honestly. YOU LITERALLY GET STRAPPED TO A CHAIR AND RAPED BY A CHICK WHO HAS BEEN DEAD FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS.

Sweet thanks!

OT: This part from Modern warfare 2
General Shepard shot Roach and Ghost and burned them in gasoline after they brought him Makarov's computer files for what at the time seemed like for no particular reason. It shocked me because at the time it seemed like Sheperd was fighting for the same goals they were, and I just didn't understand his motive even at the end when he says "I lost ten-thousand men in the blink of an eye etc. Tomorrow there will be no shortage of patriots etc."
For me it just didn't make sense that killing off everyone in TF141 would (as I understand it) get him more soldiers or something to that effect.

OOH! I know how to fix that!

If you can load the game but can't save it, blow yourself up with a nuke. It actually works.

And that shocked me.
Please. . . I know my way around Fallout 3, and my case was an inability to load my save as it was corrupted.

Lol, just reading the Wiki shocked me.
If you were even half a man you would watch it. Also, see "Philosophy of a Knife", "120 Days in Sodom" and "Cannibal Holocaust". Those are movies for men.

Dying was not what I expected to happen - rounding the corner and seeing the bomb there was like 'oh, fuck.'

There's been a lot of games that surprised me, KOTOR being an obvious example, but very few I'd say 'shock' me. For that to happen I need to be very closely relating to the characters, and normally it's only books that do that for me.
both of these

The end of Red Dead Redemption was pretty shocking to me. I think that it was the first time a game has left me speechless in a good way. The end of Just Cause 2 was the second.

It always amuses me how people want to turn these kind of discussions into dick-waving contests.

Who is so insecure as to have to contest thier manhood with random people over the internet?

I've seen 120 Days Of Sodom - thought it was crap.

Never saw the other 2 but Cannibal Ferox was laughably bad and I believe it was from the same era and exploitation movement and therefore very similar. The castration scene was kinda fucked up though.

Speaking of castration, a recent episode of Spartacus: Blood and Sand had a pretty horrific scene in it.

I just finished Red Dead Redemption today.
I really saw it coming, as this game didn't seem destined for a happy ending thematically. But they had those missions at the end where you're just being a dad and a husband. And I was so happy for John. Then that snake Edgar Ross sent his army to the Marston ranch. Despite me almost being certain it would happen, I was still shocked and saddened by the death of John Marston. I have never hated a video game character the way I hate Edgar Ross. I was all too happy to have Jack take vengeance (even though it puts him along same path as his father). For the first time in a video game, I cried some manly tears.

One more time: Fuck you, Edgar Ross.
I actually felt sorry for John Marston during the last missions. I didn't like his wife, and Uncle was useless. The only family member I liked was Jack. He was stuck doing boring errands for the rest of his life. I felt relieved when there was finally some action.
Also, why don't they let you disarm Edgar Ross in the duel? It would have been much more epic, in my opinion, if Jack had finished him off as Edgar fell to the ground in agony.

EDIT: oh, shit, forgot a shocking moment. Um...
In uncharted 2, when
You reach shambala. My jaw dropped.

The Witcher. The way that the choices you would make had far-reaching effects.
(Plot talk ahead, not really Spoiler-ish)
Early on I took what I had believed was a neutral stance by not getting invovled but I found out an Act later (maybe 5-7 game hours) that by not get involved I was in fact taking a side and my contact was dead because of it.
Even more shocking was one main character I had met early on I thought was a uptight dick but I tended to side with him during the course of the game because he seemed the most grounded. However later when the organization he was part of went off the deep end it shocked me that when he sided with them it hurt my feelings, I suddenly realized he had actually become my friend, an NPC!! I was later elated when he realized his mistake and came to my aid. This is why I am sad Yahtzee never gave The Witcher the chance it deserved pass the early (fetch) quests. People give FF13 20-30 hours to get "good" why the hell can't they give the Witcher the 5-7 hours it takes to introduce you to the game world and "get good"
