Your lowest moment in gaming?

This is easy. Going back ten plus years playing tekken in the arcade (I pride myself greatly in my tekken skills), and after holding the table through about 5 or 6 kids i ended up losing to some 300 pound middle aged black woman as she mashed all the buttons furiously with her palms and press-on nails playing as eddy gordo. Trash talking me the entire time. Knocking me out rather quickly then perfecting me the second round...

Tough one. Probably when I got aboard a Warthog with a guy I KNEW was an asshole and he proceeded to drive right off a cliff.

I hated video games for an HOUR after that...

Doing L4D, No Mercy on easy (we were trying to get untouchables) We go thru all the waves at perfect HP, get to the end, Helicopter comes, But doesn't close in time. We see a tank throw a concrete block, and all we can do is stare as it flies effortlessly across the roof, into our helicopter.

No achievement for us.

This'll probably only make you feel worse, but you know you can shoot down incoming tank rocks, right?

Having to be forced to t-bag my whole party after I killed them in Halo 3 because they sucked at CTF. It was big team slayer too...

I was playing alone on Left 4 Dead Blood Harvest campaign.

I was getting bored and just wanted to finish the damn level. It was the last one, so I would be done soon. When I entered a house on a cliff, I couldn't figure out where to go. This was pretty embarrassing, considering Left 4 Dead is a linear game yet I still got lost.

So I saw a window that was open. I came to the brilliant conclusion that you had to jump out the window onto a ledge below it. So I crawled through the window only to watch Louis plummet 50 feet to his death.

I just sat there, realizing that about 2 hours of my life had just been thrown away.

I can't remember my lowest point, but I was playing GTA IV today:

I had all the best weapons with max ammo, max health and armour, and a bitchin' car. The Radio was on the Hard Rock Channel and I was going round doing all the stunt jumps and generally being awesome.

It's then that I accidentally knocked into the back of a cop car at 3 miles an hour and at the same time I get a text. While checking it and foolishly not moving, a cop casually walks up to my door and pulls me out. The resist arrest button doesn't work when being pulled out of a car. I hadn't saved in 20 stunt jumps.

Guns, car, armour, money and Dignity ALL gone.

EDIT: And to top it all off, I've just realised my boxers are on backwards. This is the definition of Epic Fail.

Oh I know where you mean, I've done that quite a few times myself.
