What is the stupidest thing you've done [In a game]?

[Racecarlock]

That's a tough one. I have a big history of in game stupidity.

In SR2 I've rode a flaming ATV into traffic with the intention of blowing it all up to get a big time bonus for the checkpoints

In every racing game I go the wrong way to cause big crashes.

In halo 2 on the heretic station I stop and mess around with the light conveyor belts, blocking them up with covenant gun racks and meleeing the explosive canister piles. I've even let the belts carry me to my death.

In soviet russia, a game played me.

In prototype I keep jumping off the empire state building.

In fight night round three I tried actually playing instead of just setting up more AI matches.

In far cry 2 I burn stuff for fun.

In bully: scholarship edition i've punched prefects and police officers and also shot them with the potato gun. I've even let myself get caught because the worst thing they can come up with is make me mow the lawn every three times I do it. Ooh, I'm sooooooooo scared.

In red dead redemption I've shot lawmen, nuns, and pretty much everyone in the head. Also I took on a bear with my knife. It was a bad day... for the bear.

In mass effect I've fought the thresher maw while being totally unaware of the mako's secondary explosive weapon. I gave it up for a year because of that.

In need for speed most wanted I've ran over spike strips.

In IL2 Sturmovik I've tried Ramming attacks.

In the MW2 demo I've shouted "Look a butterfly!" and jumped directly off that mountain cliff at the beginning shouting "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!".

Should I go on?

One other thing I've said when jumping off that cliff in the MW2 demo is "Enemy plane! Don't worry sir I'll catch it!"

In the mafia II demo I've intentionally rammed into police cars and then driven my car off the docks. Of course the police followed me right off. It's actually a good strategy if you don't mind having to get another car.

What is the stupidest thing you've done, in a game?

here's mine: Reenacting Leeroy Jenkins in every MMO and RPG I've ever played, just to prove something. I never can figure out what it is I'm trying to prove, I never get that far...

also, what's the most fun you've had in a game?

L4D2
i use to shoot the witch

 

[Gennadios]

Piling all of my specialists into a shuttle and leaving the Normandy completely defenseless in Mass Effect 2. I don't know what the hell I was thinking agreeing to it... oh wait, Bioware's writers just suck.

hm -in medival (1) charged swiss armoured pikemen with knights (thought they are some fancy spearmen which will flee when flanked ^^ first encounter ) boy that was a lesson

They're still safe to charge if they're flanked or tied up fighting a column in a different direction. Just have to remember to disengage them immediately after so the enemy units don't turn around and put those pikes to use.

 

[Lady Larunai]

I beat up the chickens in Ocarina of time then jumped down the well to escape them causing a never ending rain of chickens that stopped me from ever getting out of the well.. Stupid chickens

 

[CulixCupric]

i got a new one! playing amnesia the dark descent, and having no tinder nor oil. complete darkness for 5 minutes, still haven't died, as they couldn't see me, but, as yahtzee put it, "Oh pissing blimey! There's jam coming out of the walls!" i was running from everything with near full insanity, screen shaking, pure darkness, seeing only an inch into the distance. playing this game at 2 am in a basement/dungeon with no lights on in bed, I'M AN IDIOT!

edit: im not the biggest idiot, this guy is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cch0rEMqOA

 

[Skillock]

Underground landing in a jet in Battlefield 3, much to the rage of team mates. Also landing helicopters upside down. I suck at flying.

 

[Jak LesStrange]

-Modding Fallout 3, so that I could nuke Megaton from close up and then forgetting to put invincibility on. I hadn't saved the game for like an hour D:<
-Thinking I could take on about 6 Heart-Cutters on my own, without help from my troops on Brutal Legend against a Really Brutal level AI.
-Killing the Rachni, despite the fact I know they could have come to my aid in Mass Effect 3, when it comes out.
-Playing Gears of War 3 on Insane with just the lancer and not using any bullets.
-Getting crushed by one of my own traps in Trapt.
-And Finally, the stupidest thing I have ever done in a video game was to take on Red Eye alone in Lost Planet 2, with just a machine gun, some grenades and the flying VS.

That made my day.

Hmm, the stupidest thing I've ever done in a video game...

Fallout New Vegas: trying to rocket jump with a Fat Man.

Amnesia: applying logic. I remembered where the good hiding spots were and I quickly learned the best ways to not be seen. I won without getting hit by the monsters at all, and it wasn't nearly as fun or as scary as it was cracked up to be. My loss.

Dead Space: See Amnesia, but replace "good hiding spots" with "ammo," "to not be seen" with "kill stuff," and "won without" with "didn't care about." And "My loss" with "".

Super Meat Boy: telling my friend how I managed a two second shortcut on a thirty second level, and having him beat me by 0.01 of a second.

Killing Floor: "Oh hey, there's Bubblz, over there." *attempts to heal giant hulking enemy*

Magicka: getting ticked off at my friend trolling me and attempting to troll him back by shooting the boss "Death" with the "Life" magick. Hindsight is 20/20.

Halo 3: setting up a local game at a friends place with the following settings:
{
300% speed
Minimum shields and life
Full Invisibility
Spawn with Rocket Launcher and Gravity Hammers
No weapons or vehicles on the map
Infinite ammo + grenades
Map: that snowy one
}
and forgetting to make it a Juggernaut game, where the Juggernaut is visible. Couldn't see any other player, much less hit them? Going too fast to see more than a slight shimmer against a completely white background when you passed someone else? Listening to the howling manic laughter of the one guy who could adapt to the constraints as he blasted around beating everyone else upside the head?

Poor bastards never stood a chance. And I was never invited over ever again.

 

[Mafoobula]

Oblivion - Level 2, found some ogres in a cave. I can take these guys! Okay, try again... and again... Okay, go invisible, loot a chest and run away. Through the door, now I'm safe! OH GOD THEY CAN GO THROUGH DOORS!! Alright, let's try looting a chest and running the other way. OH GOD HE HAS FRIENDS!!
Also, not saving too often is pretty dim.

Mass Effect 2 - I have a barrier up, I'm invincible! CHARGE EVERYTHING!!

Every 2D platforming game ever (Mega Man games in particular) - Is that a bottomless pit over there? *dies* Ee-yup.

why do they still use the ever-polluting spikes-and-pits cliche? lack of creative thought?

 

[Suicida1 Midget]

So in Halo Reach, i was on top of the spire, and the enemies had thier falcon up and trying to gun us down. So i run out junp off the spire, hoping to land on the falcon and prevent it from spawn killing us. I succeded. After hijacking it a teammate hit it with a charged pp. Then i lost the falcon....... but it was one of my more epic moments.

 

[Nimzabaat]

XCom, the first one. Arm grenade with 5 turn timer. Decide that I don't need grenade. Put it back into my backpack. 5 turns later...

 

[rayen020]

TF2 had 3 health, saw a health pack below me. tried to jump on it, missed, hit ground,

*Rayen has fallen to a clumsy, painful death.

also the one time in super smash bros melee i did a tournament with the maximum number of AI oppents (128?) and sat watched like fifteen of the matches before realizing i oculd just skip them.

 

[TheGreekGeekPrick]

Half-Life 1, in the room that's rigged to explode. I saved *several* times after shooting one of the mines. Fortunately, the game kept about 10 saves back.

BUT THEN, I did the same thing after the Xen portal exploded without me jumping in. And there was no recovering my progress there. There go 4/5 of the game!

The other day, I was playing Dark Corners of the Earth for a let's play and... well... I jumped outside a window like an idiot. I could only imagine my head transforming into a "sucker" sign before I hit ground. SEVERAL TIMES.

 

[RuralGamer]

Attacking a deathclaw in New Vegas with a switchblade (stupid Gun Runner's Arsenal challenges); I used A LOT of stims.

Attacking a deathclaw in Lonesome Road with a shoulder-mounted machine gun, when it was scaled against me (suffice to say it could take 80% of my health off with one swing).

Attacking the first pseudogiant in Call of Pripyat with a shotgun... man that took a very long time.

I could go on, but that's really the worst, yet funny ones.

 

[putowtin]

I took Mass Effect's Virmire mission way too serious the first time I ever played it, so I

Spoiler

took Kaidan with me to arm the bomb and sent Ashley with the Salarians. When you get the call to go back and help I went to Kaidan cause I thought the bomb wouldn't go off if I didn't!

wow did I feel silly later!

 

[jFr[e]ak93]

Decided to do a level 23 mission in Boarderlands as a level 15...

I died... a lot.

 

[IKSA]

Playing amnesia more than 5 minutes.
