My greatest moment ever? Like what I feel is a massive accomplishment to me? This one match of Reach, my friend and I were playing against a team of guys that were pretty beast. The funny thing is, once it was brought down to my friend and I, and the best three of them, we slaughtered them. The game ended 50 - 36. This was a Swat game, and in all honesty it was my greatest accomplishment in multiplayer.
Singleplayer? For me? The day I beat Ratchet and Clank: Deadlocked on Exterminator difficulty by myself. Speaking of which, co op in that game was fun to be honest.
As for my funniest moment? Recently my friend who is practically a gaming virgin, let alone Halo, and I were playing Living Dead on Reach. The first match, he just hid in a corner and was the last man standing. I said "You are so fucked right now..." "Nah, I'm pretty good. No one's come for me yet." And just as I was about to explain to him what happens as the Last Man Standing, every and I mean EVERY zombie in the game ran into that room, into his corner and he yelled and jumped out of his chair. I could do nothing but die of laughter.

Playing that at the moment, and knowing how much harder PoP is, I find that impossible to believe.Odinsson said:
I'd have to say that moment in COD4 where the nuke goes off and s*** has offically hit the fan.
Also, pretty much any line from Bulletstorm. That game was so stupid funny.

Agreed. Unfortunately. :/Capitano Segnaposto said:
Icecrown Citadel came in a close second (The Putricide fight in particular is probably 2nd to Algalon to me. Hence my name). I really really enjoyed it. And Thone of the Four Winds was neat too, but everything else was meh or worse. I left after Firelands was announced. Molten Core without the roof. Bleh.
The one that springs to mind is on Halo Reach when I caught an enemy plasma grenade on a frag and threw it back earning myself a triple kill XD.
Three spring instantly to mind - I'd have to look back to find more.
The first was a minor one, but at the time it was my proof of gamership, as it were - beating my older brother to the ending of one of his favorite games (Spellcaster for the SMS if anybody's interested). I was roughly 10 at the time and he would've been pushing 18, so it was a big win for me.
Second one, not particularly interesting from my perspective but others tell me it was mighty impressive was a single-handed Medic bounceback on Egypt map 1 in TF2. First team had taken the initial cap point easily and had roughly 10 minutes on the clock to take the last. A real easy task, as there's one blind entrance that's real easy to forget about. Well, the team got a little flattened and it was just one medic (me) on ubercharge holding the line. I ended up saving the cap and didn't die once in the 10 minutes.
The last (and, IMHO, most impressive) was beating Rocket Knight Adventures on Crazy Hard. For the uninitiated, that's an old-school platformer in the style of Ninja Gaiden meets Sonic (only about 4 times more uncontrollable). Crazy hard meant that you started with precisely one life, and any hit was enough to kill you. And I beat it. That was my best moment.

In BF2, shooting down a full blackhawk chopper and getting 5 kills, in which the burning shell fell out of the sky and hit a full DPV somehow earning me another 3 kills and an awful lot of "hacker", "glitcher", "****** n00b" messages for my actions.
Thats about it really, I'm a medium skill shooter at best.

I can think of a few. The first was when I got the Annual achievement on Halo 3 because it had taken my friends and me two or three hours to do it and I later found out that one of my fiends was just about to take a lava bath so if I hadn't hit the ship when I did it might have taken even longer to finish the thing.
I tell the rest later when some complete asshole isn't spamming my phone with messages and pissing me off.

Every patch was a copy/paste too. 4.1 was ZA and ZG... again. 4.2 was Molten Core without a roof, new paint, and Ragnaros. Again. 4.3 was back to Dragonblight and the Maelstrom. Meh. It's why I left when I did.Capitano Segnaposto said:
But now we're turning this thread into a conversation about an unrelated topic. Lol. Let's end it here with the WoW talk. This is supposed to be a thread about awesome. :3
Well beating Mario the Lost levels after 18 years is up there others would be having a small crowd amass around me as I beat everyone at SC3 in a (anime/manga) convention* quite a few years ago (these were not pro players though but the way one guy carried on you would think he was the best, which just sweetened the victory after I double perfected him lol).
Other one was similar with Capcom vs Snk 2 mark of the millenium my friend had been practicing for ages to try and beat me while although I used to play a lot I had been out of practice for quite some time but I managed to win 48-1 before he gave up ah sweet victory (unfortunately he hasnt touched the game since).
*I have only ever been to one convention i.e this one and that was because I was in Australia at the time and it was either go, or stay at the house all day but it was quite fun none the less.

No actual awesome moments for me that I can remember vividly, but Morrowind still gives me chills with how immersive it can be sometimes.
For some reason, my proudest moments come when I'm not actually playing. When I'm playing a game, I don't really take pride in what I do. I'm good at it, so I expect excellence. But sometimes when someone else is playing, I'll come up with brilliance. I was napping while my friend played Mario Galaxy 2, and he was on a world where everything he needed was encased in glass. He has Yoshi, and there were these spiky animals crawling around. He wandered around for apparently 20 minutes having no idea what to do. I woke up, watched for a moment and mumbled "Can Yoshi spit those things out at the glass?" Lo and behold, that was the answer.
Also, my brother and his friends always ask me for help on puzzles in games because I am a ninja at them.
Captcha: top dog. Damn right.

Downing Quarm for the first time in EQ. WoW raids are one thing but coordinating nearly 100 players against a mountain-sized 4-headed dragon is something else entirely. Also FF6 Kefka and FF7 Sephiroth battles. These fights weren't made so completely easy by gear as in later iterations so when I finally beat them there was almost a sense of regret when I met the end of those journeys.
