What is the Stupidest Thing You've Done While Playing a Video Game

[ShindoL Shill]

Basically, I've been playing Skyrim and riding around on the black horse from the Whiterun stables to do the quests.
I came up with a song about my faithful, stolen, friend.
I have entitled it 'Maurice (He is my Horse)'

Spoiler

The lyrics are:
Maurice is my horse.
And I call him Maurice
Because that is his name.
Though probably not unless I'm a really good guesser.

Maurice is my horse.
And, he is my friend.
I stole him from a stable.
But that doesn't make him not mine.

Maurice is my friend.
I'll love him 'til his end.
But until then I'll stab bandits
And he'll kick their heads.

Maurice always runs away...
But that's okay.
Because I know...
Where he'll go...
Back to Whiterun stable!

Actually, I tend to sing a lot when I play games...

Anyway, what stupid/silly things do you do when you play games?

Back in Rainbow Six 3, my friend and I were playing split-screen co-op and we were at a corner, where he was crouched in front of me. I hit the wrong button and threw a frag grenade at the back of his head, killing us both.

He won't let me forget it.

Don't really do anything stupid/silly consistently when I play games, though.

I fell asleep playing Red Dead Redemption, I was riding across open ground and woke up with the horse running into a wall.

When making random pointless enchanted rings and other things purely to train my enchanting skill on Skyrim, I come up with interesting but random names for all the things I make.

For example, A pair of boots that do 1% Fire Resistance called Geriatric Ward.
A steel sword that does 1 Frost damage called Cotton Fresh.
My favourite is a Gold Ring that makes unarmed attacks do 8 more damage called Ulfric's Willy Bling.

If you asked me why I do this I would tell you that I don't know why... Because I really just don't...

stupidest thing that ever happened to me;
playing GTA and driving somewhere (i don't remember where exactly) i have no stars and apparently the game got bored. a plane screams out of the sky and slams into my car, causing a large explosion and a fire. A nearby firetruck responds to the fire, as my character gets up he is knocked twenty feet by a speeding firetruck. Still alive, still no stars still not sure how it happened.

stupidest thing i ever did
tf2, accidentally switched to my shotgun instead of my minigun as a heavy with a soldier charging towards me.

I was messing around on Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I wanted to talk to a civilian but they wouldn't because I had a weapon out. I press what I think is the holster button. It turns out that's the takedown button! Long story short, I end up with half of Detroit's police force chasing me whilst I'm wondering where the explain it was a mistake button is.

I'm sure my dreadful playstyle in UMvC3 counts...

Jump attack the things! Jump attack all the things!

[sub]Noooooo aerial combo'd again![/sub]

Nevertheless I shall master Phoenix Wright... For great justice!

[sub]Why is side, down, diagonal down, attack such a ***** to pull off[/sub]

Also my habit of fucking up the simplest stealth sections but breezing through the fortified compound "watch the fuck out" stealth bits is just weird.

Such a beutiful song... it made my heart SING!

OT: I use to play video games while listening to my MP3 player. It usually led to deaths, especially when playing Starcraft and discovering that all my workers died five minutes ago, and Void Rays are trashing my base.

Not sure if this is the stupidest thing, but it was pretty funny.

While playing L4D2 with some friends, we had fun trolling people who joined our game. For example one of us would go out of the saferoom at the end of a level and wait for the zombies to come. When the other guy then tried to help we'd have the zombies make him fall and then we would stand around him and press E fast, so he went up and down and up and down. Then we'd claim that we were noobs and didn't know how to play.

That was kinda fun.

During a Soul Calibur 4 match with my friend, I've almost got my ass handed to me and was about to die, when I felt like I should weaken him by not-so-ingame means. So I let an ungodly fart out, which turned out to be more smelly than even I expected. Thing is, he had a guide button he pressed on his controller and ran out while we laughed our asses off, so it was all worthless.

Yeah... we're a weird bunch, really, and we do stuff like this a lot.

Anyway, another time playing Max Payne 2 the same guy made a cleaner run around a single crate for a good few minutes before killing him out of mercy. Thing is, the cleaner was running after him and the crate gave a very good cover so he didn't shoot. And due to the AI being thick, the result was a hilarious Benny Hill-like chase scene. A bit off topic, but the same day we witnessed the AI doing something REALLY stupid. There were 2 guys running through a door towards Max, and one of them threw a grenade. But the genius hit his comrades head with it who then produced a "hurt" effect (scream + bleeding, like when they get shot); and he threw it from like half a meter. This was followed by the same grenade hitting the guy who threw it too, though not sure if it hurted him, as it shortly after blew up and killed the both of them. Oh boy, how much we laughed.
