Right as I fired my final grenade at a horde right in front of the safe room, another guy ran in front of me. The grenade incapped 3/4 and then the horde promptly raped the last guy, causing us to lose. >_<;

Ragequitting Oblivion then realising I hadn't saved for over two hours. I never returned to that character.

Far Cry 2/Mercs 2 aren't all that bad, but Fallout 3? Seriously? Fallout 3 is my favourite game in the whole world.

This isn't actually while playing a game but i was chatting in a party and i needed a wizz so i took my headset off and went. When i came back i sat on my bed and i was going "Hello? Hellooooooooooo" For ages i was wondering why they were ignoring me and it turns out my headset wasn't even on my head. Ohh bad times.

Took out my entire team, in a game of Cod4 Hardcore search and destroy, with a single grenade.

It was quite a small map, so What I did was throw a Grenade over the wall, or at least that's what should have happened instead the grenade bounced of the wall and back into my team, who for some strange reason hadn't moved.

Dude, it's a gag list. I honestly was having a hell of a time deciding who to snub for the joke. And Mr. I use the MIRV indors sealed the deal. :p

This isn't an in-game dumb event, but it was dumb nonetheless:

If any of you remember the old NES days, you'll also remember how pretty Nintendo made the cartridge for "Legend of Zelda". Is was gold and shiny, very pretty against the grey game paks of the day.

I had an obsession for taking things apart to look at the insides when I was a kid (like most kids do). The "Zelda" cartridge felt heavier so I wanted to see why. When I cracked it open there was a BATTERY in it! Wow! Why was that there? So... I took the battery out.

Didn't occur to me that the battery was how the game stored save files. Whoops, all progress gone.

THAT was my dumbest gaming moment.
That's pretty good.

I've done that two or three times, or rather forgotten to save for ages and dying doing something silly like jumping down a hillside...

Supreme commander. My friend was building nothing but soul rippers so i thought well his airforce and navy is going to hurt but he's probaly got a nuke somewhere in his base. Time for peral harbour pre emptive attack.

Failing to watch my enemy who launched an attack at the same time i did we struck about halfway to target and destroyed each others attack forces. My friend noticing the massive battle on radar launches two nukes at our bases. My missle defence blows up the missle headed towards my enemy...yeah i didn't recover from that blow.

I doubt I'll top most of the stupid things on this list, but the dumbest thing I've ever done has to be the first time I played Team Fortress 2. I was playing a Heavy, and I charged the other team while firing my chaingun, assuming my team would back me up. As it turns out, they were just watching me be an idiot and get myself killed. As if that wasn't bad enough, it took me doing the same thing three times before I finally learned my lesson. My team was probably laughing at me after that. I don't really know. I had everyone muted because they were being annoying.

Oh, and another thing. I actually bought Jurassic Park for the SNES and played it often, hoping to get through it and not realizing how much it sucked.

Fallout 3: In Old Olney there's a deepish hole with a door to the sewers. If you fall in, you have to go through the sewers and quite a few Deathclaws to get out. I had no ammo but a few .32 rounds and a baseball bat was my melee weapon, and I had no points in melee anyway. Needless to say, I got my ass handed to me by a Deathclaw.

Reload and move on, right? I had been relying on autosave and my last proper save was hours before. I reload into the same sewers I just died in. Go back out the door and try to fast travel, but a Deathclaw has spawned nearby, so no-go. I tried about 20 times to run past those Deathclaws, but they got me every time. Suck.
