Your biggest/most hilarious screw-up in a game.

[Aeshi]

Simply put, what's the biggest, most funny or both way you've screwed up while playing a game?

Biggest
I was wandering around in Dustwallow Marsh in World of Warcraft (back before there were any expansions) and was attacked by a random Whelp (A Baby Dragon) as I was exploring. I killed him and much to my surprise it dropped the "Dark Whelpling", an EXTREMELY rare pet that can sell for thousands of gold (and money was much harder to make back then.) the sort of thing that could have a Level 40 like me set for levels 40-50 (if not to 60).

Naturally, being the colossal moron I was back then I sold the bloody thing for about 90 Gold, an act of incompetence that even now peeves me off a little to think about it.

Most Hilarious
(may not entirely qualify, as this one was a joint effort)

I was on wave 10 of The Last Stand and was sitting on a far side of the map waiting for my health to regenerate from near-death while my friends were busy killing the last few enemies in the wave. I decided that while I waited for my health to come back I may as well place some Remote Bombs in preparation for the next wave. However while I was doing so some Scout Marines I had missed promptly unstealthed and killed me.

Upon seeing this one of my teammates teleported over to revive me. However unfortunately for him:

a) He had chosen to teleport right on top of me and, by extension, my Bomb.

b) He had the "Juiced-up Teleporter", which adds an explosion effect to his teleports.

So he teleported on top of me in a flash of light only to promptly disappear in a cloud of dust as he was sent rocketing across the arena.

Fortunately our third teammate was able to revive the two of us and they were good enough to laugh it off.

Well it all started when I made myself some nachos and sat down to play Pokepark 2: Wonders Beyond...

Anyway long story short, I'm not allowed in Connecticut anymore.

Well it all started when I was brushing my hair...

Anyway, long story short, that's how I saved the world from raving mutant ninja saxophones from outer space.

Most hilarious: I forget which naruto game it was, but it was one where you could have 4 people in one match. It was a four person FFA, and me an one of my friends decided to team up until it was just us. I was Choji, and his grab was a bearhug that tossed people across the screen. I went to grab one of the other guys, and by accident hit my friend. Now, this wouldn't be to bad, but at the same time I grabbed him, the 4th guy was doing his super move, and when I threw my friend, I ended up using him to take the super that was aimed at me, and he died. Needless to say I didn't come in first, but the laughs we had as it happened....

I know right? What was I thinking buying a fun game.

After chipping away at his health for forty days and forty nights, I accidentally healed Sephiroth with a megalixir....

Red Faction: i was driving to pick up some hostages, i jumped out the moving car ran upstairs to where they were. Then a tower comes slicing through the building killing all of them, just feet in front away me. Apparently that moving car i jumped out of exploded at the base of the tower.

I keep on accidentally forgetting my usernames for things like Sony Online and such. I have always made a second one in a fit of rage. I then have proceeded to buy game time on the wrong username 3 times, all non-refundable. I even accidentally bought the entire EQ2 game online, when I had it on my other account. I did this also for Age of Conan about 2 times.

I am so forgetful. And my boyfriend never ever lets me live these blunders down.

Also, I remember playing through various RPG's that didn't have great auto-saves. The main one I remember is Dragon Age Origins, being in the Dwarven tunnels. I died at one point, and just then remembered that I had forgotten to save in about 5 hours of content and trecking through that horrid dungeon. I now save every 5 minutes, no matter what game it is. (If I can.)


Funniest?

Probably giving away an orange item in World of Warcraft during a raid to a guild member to be nice. He then sold the thing to another guild member on the spot.


Oh brain, you so crazy.

>Fun
>Assassin's Creed: Revelations

It's like we're talking about two different things.

Most hilarious and most awesome was in a local co-op session of Halo:Reach. Playing Juggernaut. I made a beeline towards my friend playing the Juggernaut from higher ground - at which point he proceeded to treat me as Josh Hamilton treats a baseball.

Hmm I screw up alot on purpose when I'm playing multiplayer to wind up my teammates. So I'm struggling to remember a specific time.

Well, heres one, don't know if its the funniest but its the only one I can think of.

In BF3 I used to wait on the attack helicopter respawning and then take off in it. Meanwhile my friend would be fighting on the ground as an engineer. This meant that usually my gunner would just be some randomer.

So I'd fly around, doing my thing until someone took my choppers health down to the point where the gunner would shit himself and bail out.

I now had to navigate this burning load of metal towards my engineer friend who would stand, ready with his repair tool to fix her up.

Now, alot of the time, I'd have to cross the map while on fire, so by the time I reach him, I'd have to bring it down pretty damn hard so that he could repair it before it blows up.

Of course several times I'd bring it down too hard and it would explode as soon as it hit the ground, killing both of us.
