Have you ever had those moments when you were totally sure that your screwed? Happens to a lot of people and each are different. So I ask everyone, what are those moments for you?
Those "I'm Fucked" moments.

I missed two exams my freshman year of college, one first semester and one second semester. Both times, I found out that I had missed them in the cafeteria when I just happened to bump into someone from my respective classes. Both times, I got to test with a different class section... i am a lucky, lucky bastard.
The first time I ran into the Sorceress battle in Wizardry 8. Or <url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eaot30UKfyQ&feature=related>Nessie.

Got into a car accident on snow/ice. Combine the slow motion of adrenaline rushing to the brain with sliding helplessly for a couple hundred feet, I had a lot of time to contemplate how fucked I was.
EDIT: or the other time I was a passenger in a rollover accident at ~75 mph...although then I had less time to realize it.

Gaming wise - being a sniper on TF2, zoomed in, and hear from my side a muffled "fire" looked down "fuck" before getting hit with the fireball taunt
RL wise - half napping in a tree back when i was 10 (28 now) and hearing one of the branches i was leaning on crack. I remember thinking "no way this is ending well". End result - brused ribs, broken both bones between the ankle and knee and spent 4 months in a cast, including halloween, birthday, and x-mas.

Much as I love the game, I don't blame you. The monastery is one of the greatest opening levels I've ever played in a game. Arnika Road is like running into a wall of spikes.Miumaru said:
Tell you one thing, though...that area really teaches you the importance of running the hell away. On subsequent playthroughs, I got into the habit of fighting two or three battles, then casting Chameleon, avoiding the main road, and bolting.
Yes, actually, I had TWO of those moments. When I was younger (like 5 years old) I was in a ferris wheel and then it stopped, and of course with irony thrown into the mix me and my parents were at the VERY top. and I'll tell you this was at Chicago during the late fall. So it was bitter fucking cold. I'm lucky that I don't have a fear or anything.
Another thing is that once going down a road, driving on ice, the car randomly decides to do LITERALLY a full 360 spin before going back to driving. I was like, DEAR FUCKING LOOOOOOOOORD!!!!!!!!!!!!! luckily no one was on that road at the moment.

The day before my first AP test this past year, since I actually hadn't studied very much at all (probably an average of two hours each night for two weeks before hand). This same day we had our last assignment in the class, a practice version of the multiple choice portion of the test. I opened the booklet, expecting to die. This was AP World History though, and I blew the test away, getting the second highest score in the seven periods the teacher taught the course. I just touched up on some stuff that night for the essays, and I didn't have a single moment that caused any worry on the actual test.
I am writing that off as whatever higher power that exists (I can't say that I believe in any particular one) throwing me a bit of a mulligan. And it was my only Advanced Placement course for the year, as well as the first I have actually taken.
Oh, a better example: My dad and I are in his Toyota, I have no license yet. He is making a turn leftat a four way intersection, perfectly legal, we have the light. But someone hasn'tnoticed this, and is gliding straight through to our side. I realize this as we begin to go acroos. I fall back on the expectation that he will make it through before we cross paths, or that y dad will screetch to a halt just missing him. No such thing happens, and from the point that we are twenty feet away from him onward, "I'm fucked" is the only thing I can think. It is hard to describe over the internet, but he slammed into us right before the point where we would have been parallel to him. More or less, the moment of collision was timed so that a split second later my door would have crumpled, and I would go for quite a while without walking right.

In real life? The time I spun out on a icy dirt road and hit a tree that was literally a MILE away from anything else. Everything around it was road or farmland.
In a video game? I had a lot of them during CoD:WaW. Pretty much every time I saw a grenade symbol in the later levels to be exact. And since I was playing on the hardest difficulty, that was a lot.

Usually right before I have to actually work on a project that's due the next day. That's my "I'm fucked moment". That, and when I forget to do a project that is already due that day. I usually pull something out of my ass though and end up with a decent sized F.
