1. The cutscence of a dying giant eagle colossus. Sad music, epic scenery, only to have it horribly (and laughably) shattered by my tiny character ragdoll across the screen. You know what I mean if youve played it.
2. In "The Darkness" waiting for a train, so bored, so i sit down in front of a hobo and his cart and watch all the old episodes of Popeye the sailor. seriously, they have like half a season of that programmed into the game as well as many other shows.

Also in "The Darkness" when i summoned a little demon to help me in my mission, I had played the game for a while and didnt expect much from the demons stupid a.i, but when we emerged from thae subway, the first thing it does is run up a random building wall and into a window (omg i didnt know they could do that!). it was an electric demon so the ensuing comedical flash of light and the accompanying scream told me that for once my demon did something right. then a body was thrown out the window at literally landed with a splat at my feet. The body was still smoldering when the little rascal scampered down the building to my side and gave me the most innocent look ive ever seen in any videogame.

3. Armed and Dangerous. nuff said.

from Metroid Prime, the visor steaming up going into magmor caverns, or when in an intense battle the explosions brightening up Samus' face, just enough to see her reflection.

and the great little detail that took a few playthroughs to actually see but made me all warm and fuzzy inside thinking that Retro Studio's thought of doing such a thing;

to anyone whose played Metroid Prime, notice the 4 beam weapon icons, each icon is some sort of alien hand, when you obtain the Xray Visor switch it on and equip different beams, you'll notice through her arm cannon that her hand changes according to the beam icon :D magic!

Playing Pyro in TF2, I got Ubered by some guy, and half of the other team was crammed in one place, so I proceded to destroy them, then someone in the group says 'are you guys ready to charge?' and the medic who ubered me said 'Don't worry, I'm here with the best pyro ever!"

I nearly blushed

Awww the feeling of being complimented...I think were all a little more narcissistic then we think.

Hearing Steven Fry's voice as the narrator in LittleBIGPlanet. Genius.
Fallout 3 when I was killing the AntAgoniser and Jericho jumped in the way and i killed him i was like "YOU F****** IDIOT" "I NEED YOU" LOL

Beating Liquid to a pulp in MGS4 was just like this is a masterpiece!!

Using the Topsy Turvy Bomb in said game.
Third only to the Squid and Citrus Bazookas as the coolest weapon in gaming ever.

Getting a mid-long range kill with a bolt-action rifle in Red Orchestra, so satisfying. Then getting a close range kill or bayonet stab is so relieving, so it's all good.

in kotor1, the plot twist was AWESOME,
You know stuff like that should be spoiler'd it gives people complexes, they go through the entire game going "maybe he betrays me, or him?, or maybe that dude, OMG what if I betray myself!?"

Remember that time when you were first playing Pokémon as a little kid, and you managed to run into a wild Pikachu, and you managed to catch it?
Good times...

No but I do remember the time I bought and wasted 99 ultra balls on that fucking bastard Suicine in crystal, 5 hours, one young me and my dad, one sunrise to tell us to try again later.

Getting a headshot on a moving taget/sniping an enemy sniper in CoD online. So satisfying.

1.The ending of COD4

Simply took my breath away

2. every moment in MGS4

3.the moment when i came back to Shadow Moses but here's the amazing part
MGS4 Shadow Moses part was so strong that even though i never played the first game i was having severe nostalgia (that moment made me stand in-game for a full 2 min just thinking "it's really it"

4. after a coulpe blank moths of gaming between the console generation jump i started becoming bored of gaming but after completeing Resistance 1 on that last level simply heart pounding i was thinking "NO NO NO I WILL NOT DIE NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

5. Dom's wife dies (mouth left open for full 3 min)

6. Realise that without Gaming i would not be Me

Playing Dark Messiah, the first time I did a adrenaline kill. The swift movement turning into slow motion when the guy's head and hand were separated from his body. I'll treasure that sight for a looooong time.
Oh and actually when they presented the Hazard Suit to Freeman in HL2 I was assaulted with the giggles.
