Quite a few fighting games and some FPS's (...okay, just Halo multiplayer). It's not so much that I suck, I'm just not always as good as the people I like fighting against.

Starcraft is a hard RTS?

I've not played Warcraft, but I romped my way through the campaigns of C&C, RA and Starcraft each one in about two sittings...
The EA C&C + RA or Westwood C&C + RA?

Westwood first, then EA. I've had both =)

Well with enough practice I owned on team fortress 2. Mastered almost all the classes. Just can never survive long enough to get uber as medic so I gave up on that.

Well I guess it would of helped a bit more if I was not 5 years old when the first C&C was released (1995) and only about 8 when I first played it.

I'm addicted to parkour (even before Mirrors Edge) and love watching vids on youtube. Yet whenever I try it, it doesn't work out to well. Then again I don't live in a big city, just a small-ish town.

I loved all of the "sands" Prince of Persia games, and I died more times than an epileptic in a clothing factory. My sense of timing is shit.

Yes because games are meant for fun. If you are terrible but still have fun then more power to you.

Most platformers.

This is coming from someone who can FC the intro of TTFAF on expert with his eyes closed, has 140-160 APM in an average Starcraft game, has defeated Xan in UT 15-0 (on Godlike), can S-rank every level in Ikaruga, and has completed all 111 levels in Supaplex.

I die like 9 times on certain relatively easy levels in DKC.

It's embarrassing to say the least.

I still love playing them...I'm just bad at them. Psychonauts, I miss a jump like 6 times before I make it most of the time. "OMFG WHY ISN'T THERE A SHADOW WHY CAN'T I LOOK DOWN DSAFJSKFA," and such.

Nothing really because if I play a game and keep dying it frustrates me to no ends, but I guess I'd say RTS just because I have no strategy but make 50 tanks and blow stuff up.

I find I'm terrible at RTS's as well.
I take a lot of time to build up armies, because I always get distracted by technology upgrades.
I often get into stalemates when playing single player, because I'm as slow as the bots to build up. So I have huge hour-long wars around the centre of the map before I push into their territory.

The quickest skirmish-style game I've played on an RtS lasted half an hour.
The longest I've played was 3 and a half hours.

Deus Ex. I don't know if it's just because the game itsself is hard, or if the beginning is tough, or if it's just because I'm unaware of my ADD and can't wait for the guards to take three more steps, but I get blown to pieces on it.

I've slipped badly at turn-based strategy games (Civ 4 kicks my ass all over the yard, and games like Fire Emblem totally ruin my shit) but I still love to play them.

I'm not very good at RTS games, mostly because i try to run some overy complex stradegy that has some idiotic fault in it. Like once in Red Alert 3 i figured i send some bombers to take out the enemy power plants so i can send my tanks past their towers. The fail of that plan was that my enemy was playing the faction with the morphing units so hes towers turned into anti-air towers before my bombers got even close to the power plants.
