In RE4 claiming I was the master of grenades and when I tried to throw a grenade I missed and it bounced off the wall and hit me the worst part was I kept throwing grenades that kept bounceing off the same wall and killed me.

My friends couldn't stop laughing for five minutes.

E.T. for the Atari 2600.

Spoiler

The opening of the video sets up the true extent of how epic this fail is, but skip about the first two minutes if you just want to see the game.

I'd say who ever predicted the millenium bug YK2 worry, oh dear.

Put 2038 in your diary and your tinfoil hat on your head, since thats when UNIX runs out of half seconds, and almost everything is based on UNIX.

ouch, replying to that comment burnt my fingers.

I'm sorry if i misunderstand, but how can a computer system "run out of half-seconds"?

I believe that it is due to a 32-bit computer system only being able to hold so many numbers-starting in (year) 1970, up until (year) 2038, in either seconds or half seconds or milliseconds (not sure which one). Any more, and it crashes. However, by then, 32-bit will probably be ditched for 64-bit, as has already started, as far as I can tell.

I think that has to be Nintendo's first attempt at producing a CD - based console.

This decision was made back when the cartridge - based SNES was Nintendo's flagship console, and it was so popular and up-to-date that it wouldn't make sense to replace it just yet. The solution: Make a CD adapter for the SNES!

The only problem was that Nintendo didn't have any experience with CD - based technology, so they needed someone else to develop the device. The task was offered to Sony.

Sony had, at this time, never made any attempt to enter the videogame market in any way. The SNES CD adapter was a whole new challenge for them, and they eagerly went to work. However, just when the device was almost ready for release, Nintendo decided - for reasons unknown - to cancel the order and have Philips develop an adapter instead.

Philips accepted the deal, and hurriedly produced a clunky, noisy, ugly and absurdly overpriced piece of crap that proved violently unpopular among gamers and developers alike. Nintendo ended up losing untold amounts of money in one of the biggest videogame-related failures since the E.T. game for the Atari 2600.

Meanwhile, the people at Sony were stuck with their unwanted machine. Rather that discarding it and wasting all the time they'd spent, Sony decided to keep working on the project until it was able to function WITHOUT a SNES attatched.

You all see where this is going, right?

Yeah.

After a while, Sony released the completed device on the market under the catchy name,

"PlayStation".

Wow, I did not know that. Thank you Nintendo for screwing up and allowing my precious Playstation 3 to be created. Thanks for this tidbit of information.

OT: George Bush. There are actually videos showing him years ago as a fairly capable president giving good speeches; then recently, stumbling over words and generally making a fool out of himself.

I think the actual "epic fail" meme is the biggest fail that there is.

There were legitimate concerns, providing the banks and others who were supposed to be affected didn't realize potential errors and fix them accordingly. The world would not have come to an end, no, but I'm sure data would've been a mess for awhile.

I wanted to say "democracy in America." This is essentially a part of that.

But, of course, the problem runs deeper than that. It's just simple human ignorance at work. People are easily duped because they just don't know any better. Consequently, so long as the voting public can be easily duped, how can democracy really work?

So the most epic fail ends up being a general lack of omniscience on behalf of the collective mass of humanity. Perhaps adequate investment of future technology in genetic tweaking and trans-humanism can weed that back a bit, but (considering we backslide 10 years every time Reaganomics takes effect) it's probably too late for anyone alive today.
