Most Embarassing/Stupid Gaming Moment (tell truth now!)

[Danglybits]

I saw a thread asking people what was their proudest gaming moment ever but then I thought that considering the frustration gaming tends to cause there are probably a lot more (and more amusing) humiliating moments out there. So with out further ado....

Mine is hard to think of something that really tops the rest, besides the time I absolutely HAD to see what happened if I swam up to a croc in Snake Eater....thankfully there was no one around to see, so I decided to tell all of you. Come on now, don't be shy..

Hiel Searchbutton!!!

...

But on topic... I'm going to say the time that I played RE4... it was about 2 in the morning, and the energy drinks had taken their toll...

A monster jumped out at me, and I jumped out of my chair and hit the power button, afraid that... and I quote

The monster would get me

I then sat in the darkness for about Ten minutes clutching my PS2 controller so hard that I'm now suprised that it didd'nt snap

I'm not kidding either... I'm really glad no body was around to see it

In Warhammer Online I was walking along the road with my Disciple of Khaine when I saw an Order player nearby fighting some mobs. Now, I don't usually "gank" people when they aren't bothering me, but that night I was feeling particularly frisky. I charged over to him and began attacking...

... only to realize that he was not, in fact, flagged for PvP. He stood there for a moment after killing his enemy, laughed at me for trying to attack him, then went on his way. I felt very foolish.

This just happened about 2 hours ago.
My friend and I playing ZM. He dies quickly and says "Go hide in that red crate, there aren't any zombies near it."
Ok, I think, thank god for friends, he's such a great guy.
I get to the red crate, turn my flashlight off so as not to attract attention.
I get to the back, turn to face the front, and an Immolator bursts into flames next to me, burns and slashes me to death. NUBES ARE PEOPLE TOO.

Oh, I have an idea what could be considered embarrassing...

I played on the 360 version of the Orange Box, and while playing HL2, on the level Highway 17, I got to a part where there's a group of cars blocking your way, and a helicopter around trying to shoot you to death. Instead of figuring out that I was supposed to use the conveniently placed 'Infinite amount of grenades' box, I ran past all the cars, and past the Helicopter. I ran through the ENIRE LEVEL, on foot, and eventually got to a point where I couldn't open a door without dieing and starting over...Instead of figuring out what I was supposed to do, I looked at what I was supposed to do on Youtube and cheated past the level... I finally redid that level recently, allowing me to complete the game 'legitimately'...I like how much of the read I traveled on foot though...

Could have used the gravity gun, too

Interestingly, I've seen a half-life 2 speedrun where they delibrately leave the car behind immediately and go on foot the whole way, because they can grenade jump up certain places and skip other places if they go on foot and therefore it's faster. So you weren't stupid, it was just an impromptu speedrun. Yes, that's it.

*sigh* This shames me really.

This happened way before I had an xbox of my own. And I was at a good friend of mine's house. He had a 360, and we were playing GoW. Well about 30 minutes after he told me that in GoW, we don't jump. I asked how you jumped.....he just stared at me. I was sad faced.

Another one happened when I use to play Halo(back when it came out.) Well I was going for the achievement "Two for One". Well anyway, I had the Spartan laser, and I was charing it. I saw a warthog, and I was aiming at it while moving. I just HAPPENED to move in front of a wall as soon as the laser fired.....I lasered myself >.<

I accidentaly killed three of my eam members in cod4 on acount a' lag and me not seing their friendly tags immidiatly. Also, I was watching a halo theater, in third person with the hud off, and I saw myself come around a corner and tried to shoot myself...

Far Cry 2 just the other day. I was with one of my buddies at a local petrol station, blasting our way through it, when a sniper started firing at me from atop an oil tanker. As I ran up the stairs to kill this fool, he stopped firing at me and concentrated on my buddy (who I thought was fucking awesome, by the way). I killed the sniper, ran back down the stairs, and wondered where the hell my buddy was. When I saw the blue smoke I assumed the worst, and ran my ass off to save him.

I was so worried he'd die that I gave him five syrettes. I thought I did a really good job, protecting my buddy and all... but instead, I overdosed him. And he died.

Dammit.

I was playing Halo pc and went through all this trouble to get the enemy flag to our base when I get killed and the flag bounces into the hands of an afk. FF was off so me and some other guy had to grenade him into the flag pole.

And that's the story of how a guy who wasn't even playing leeched a point from me.

It's not really as embarrassing as awesome (for the other guy), I was playing halo 3 with some friends on team slayer on sandtrap. Me and someone on another team both had a banshee and were flying around shooting people. Well I decided to jump out of mine to beat people down on the ground and I decided to jump from really high up. When I got out and started falling, the other person splattered me about 200 feet in the air...

Wow, I am going to go way back with this one. My friend that lives down the street and I got Gamecubes for Christmas, and my friend bought Phantasy Star Online. I would go over to his house almost every day and we would play the offline Co-op mode, and it was a blast. My friend had a level 90-something hunter, and I had a lvl 78 ranger.

So one night I asked if I could borrow the game so I could catch my guy's level up. During my solo run, I picked up a rare rifle that blew away every other gun that was available to me, so I got pretty excited, as you can imagine. I soon after went to sell my treasures and old weapons away at the store; and, to my dismay, I accidentally sold away that rare rifle.

I quickly jumped up to turn off the gamecube... in the middle of a save process...
A little hint to anyone who plays video games. HEED THE WARNING, DO NOT SHUT OFF YOUR SYSTEM MID-SAVE!!!!!

Needless to say, I turned my Cube back on to find a corrupt save file. My friend hated me for about a month after that.

I shot myself in the back of head in Prey using a portal.

I've done that loads of times.
I've always sucked at Halo multiplayer but still find it incredibly fun. My most embarrassing gaming moment ever occurred when I was playing CTF in Blood Gulch (on blue team) and both teams needed only one point to win. I grabbed a Warthog to retrieve their flag, and my teammates, foolishly trusting me, came along for the ride. Unfortunately, red team had a guy on top of the base with a rocket launcher who I didn't notice as I was busy running over the reds in front of the base. The rocketman fired, and I noticed the rocket coming and swerved to avoid it, but managed to get the warthog completely stuck backwards in the front doorway of the red base. My allies and I were unable to get out in time, and the red rocket guy jumped down off the base, stuck a plasma grenade to my FACE, and backed away as our silent chat screams were abruptly cut off. Meanwhile, a red had taken a ghost, killed our one teammember left guarding the base, and grabbed and returned the flag before we could do anything. I was booted after the next map loaded--but not before my allies informed me of what a "FUKING IDIOT" I was. They were probably right.
So there you have it.
