e.g.
I lent super mario galaxy to a friend, and he was stuck on the first level for half an hour before he realised the levels have a centre of gravity and he could walk off what appeared to be the edge of the stage...

Well, my friend killed himself in gears of war when he threw a grenade into a wall, then stood right over it. That was funny as hell. He also managed to fry himself with the hammer of dawn when he triggered it right in front of a wall.

But my absolute favorite moment of all time was when I got him to play FEAR, and gave him the controller right before a freak spot. So he started moving, got on a ladder, and Alma popped up, freaked him to hell, and he just stopped playing.

Had a friend over playing some L4D and he's just messing around shooting at zombies while his team mates are waiting for the last person to get back. He then shoots a witch twice with a single pistol after being told not to by everyone else in the game and then turns away from her despite the huge warning text that pops up, stays still and starts shooting at other zombies. He didn't make it.

Not a friend persay, but I first got a Halo 3 I thought it would be fun if my little sister played Co-Op with me. We started up the game, skipped the cutscene (really don't give a shit when it comes to Halo) and started running after the mariens.

After about a minite, I realised that Emily wasn't with me. I looked at her screen and saw she was running head long into a wall, looking straight up at the sky. I took the controller and showed her how one analogue stick controls where your looking while the other controls your movement. She couldn't get her head around it.

"How are you suppose to control two things at once" she said "its too hard"

Watching non gamers play games makes me want to rip my hair out.

A mate of mine played all the way through Halo 2. It took him till the end credits before he realized it was a pile of shit.

I've seen people play through Final Fantasy XII without using the quickenings(I know some people say they don't even help but some bosses are almost impossible without them).

Once me and a friend were playing Pro Evo, and he had always been a Fifa man. It took him 3 games before he realized that the buttons were different. It sounds too stupid to be true, i know..but it is.

A long long long time ago, my friend played the Original C&C Red Alert. He decided to attempt a mission and immediatly selled all the power plants in the interest of saving money apparently. He failed dismally.

Also, you have a picture from Starcraft as your avatar. Good on you :].

My friend failed to complete Diablo 2's quest. He ran out of health potions and didn't think of buying more... He also didn't grab any loot, saying that "he doesn't need it, as he can't use it".

Gah. Grammar Nazi Mode Off. Now. Period.

Also, it's entertaining to watch people trying to play Mario online (that is - a flash convertions of Mario games on NES) and failing to pass the first area.

This one was astronomically bad but kinda understandable if you were born deaf, dumb and blind and therefore had never played any sort of sport or goal orientated game ever. I was playing Madden 08 with a friend and i've just scored a touchdown so he's seen me use the offensive system. It's his turn and he hikes the ball. He then turns around and runs towards his own end zone as the quarterback all the while yelling that i've got no defence and I suck. He gets to the endzone, drops his control and gives me the double finger. His QB is just sitting in the endzone with the ball while half my team runs up the field towards him. I switch to my linebacker, sprint full on and use the hitstick basically turning his ribcage into confetti. He drops the ball and one of my defensive linesman jumps on it scoring. My friend goes googly-eyed for a second, follows it up with a WTF? and I show him that the one that his viewpoint is facing is the one you're supposed to aim for then I just completely crack up laughing at what an idiot he was.

Another one from CoD4 that I can remember, this is from the same game so it's double the shame. Me and a mate are playing at an internet cafe, doing a couple of SnD rounds waiting for some friends because i'm a sick bastard and I like to see my friends fail and he wanted to because I said that's the game mode that I play in clan scrims. We're on opposite teams and he and one guy are up(this is on Vacant). They manage to get one of my crappier team mates down with him getting the kill and the other guy biting the dust. He then thinks that was the last guy left for some reason that I still can't fathom and starts firing his weapon into the air emptying it of all ammo and does the same with his pistol. What he doesn't realise is that there are still 6 of us up and on my map all these arrows surge towards the orange dot. Obviously i'd pleased the gods in some way because I got to him before anyone else and just ran straight up to him. He spots me, lets out a yell and fires his empty ak at me which clicks. He yells again and switches to his pistol which is also clicks. He starts swearing and starts to just palm the keyboard and by complete accident knifes the air which misses me I then take my deagle out and just 2 shot him in the head. Later on in the game (while I'm spectating while some update gets downloaded for the computer) he's behind a printer or something and spots someone. He pops his head out and tries to throw his grenade but crouches at the same time so he hits the printer in front of him which bounces to rest at his feet. He yells out some expletives and picks up the grenade to throw it away. He manages to hit the only rafter in a patch of about 3x5m square opening in the roof not to mention the rest of the corridor. The grenade bounces back, hits him in the head and explodes killing him. I almost died laughing at this point so we left the game to play something he didn't suck at.

One of my friends likes to be a "samurai" in CoD and several other shooters... Samurai to him means kamikaze with a knife... Sometimes this works well, and sometimes he just epic fails and ends up giving the other team so many kills that the game ends before many of us have died for the first time...

When my friend changed my controller sensitivity on cod 4 to insane while i was in the bathroom. When i came back to play i was spinning around like a frog with a rocket up my arse, somehow i still managed to become the Mvp.

Gimme a break with the grammar fail. Usually i'm okay. I just haven't had my caffine fix.


My friend also failed dismally at Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Until he used cheats that is. Then he failed horrifically.

I've seen friends using shotguns in various games from far distances. Defeats the bloody purpose of the thing!

You can only blame them for not having played before. It´s not very unusual to see inexperienced players do silly things. I believe everybody has to start from scratch.
