There was one particular time playing C&C Renegade (one of the best and most underrated FPS's I've played) when I drove my vehicle to the base and fired on one building for at least 10 minutes before realizing it was already destroyed. Oops.
Another Renegader! :D

I never did that, but I once lost 3 tanks to the other team in the same game :<

Playing TF2, I thought Demoman sticky bombs were proximity mines.

Still playing TF2, I thought spy sappers were meant to be deployed as claymores on the wall.

In portal, I carried a chair from one part of the level to the other and used it as a stool, when I apparently should have used a sentry's rocket to blow open a tube and use the resulting cube as such. Whoops.
I did that too!!!

I was playing as Pit in Brawl. Me and my friend were battling on the Frigate Orpheon stage. I was using Pit's recovery just to piss him off. I said something like "haha you can't reach me" then the stage flips.

I killed a ton of people in a row on HL2 online. After feeling all proud and awesome, I get killed by a common house hold item.

Worst time was while playing battlefield 2, i threw a grenade at the enemy, but as i threw it i moved my mouse follow him, and the grenade was thrown as he went behind a wall, and of course it bounced right back at me.

I was killed by a bat in Ninja Gaiden(360), first level. Man that was funny, my brother was impressed by the slaughter of the infinite ninja room in the first level, and I ended up going down that hole and being brutally slaughtered by a winged rodent. We laughed our asses off.

I once spent an entire afternoon hunting down the 50+ remaining hidden packages in Vice City. I got to 90ish, then thought "Damn, that was a good afternoon." and switched off the PS2.

Que "D'oh!"

On Eternal Darkness, I turned off the Gamecube without saving after the "there's a problem with your memory card" showed up. Damn Sanity Meter!

I still think it's an honest mistake, but embarrasing either way.

I was playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. I made my own coaster - it had 2 trains and could seat a ton of people (forgot which kind of coaster.) It looked awesome. Me as my cocky self, I am like "it's so awesome there's no way it can not work!" I refuse to test it out first. So people line up. roughly 30 peeps in train 1, 30 peeps in train 2. The train took some turns fine, and then it went into a steep dive underground. I had made a steep climb up (naturally)....and the stupid train couldn't go up it. Of course by that time train #2 had been merilly climbing to that same spot....so yeah, i screwed up pretty badly.
The worst part was I was playing in China, countryside, with my grandparents and my couzin watching me.
*train crashes*....my cousin and my grandparents look at me and they start laughing.

Uhh, sorry for the double post, but I might as well ad this one, since i thought of it now. I was playing Halo 3 on Heroic..crows nest i think. So I manage to pop all the Brutes in the room after Johnson tells you to go save the marines in the barracks. All the brutes, except the gravity hammer *****. I take out my shotgun, put 3-4 rounds into him, go "Haha, I'll look SOOOOOOOOOOOOO pro like this!" I do the dumbest thing I have EVAR done - I melee him. Yes, I melee him. I go right up to him, his shields are clearly up (I missed the 1st shot) and I go "HAHA! I PWN YOU!" (Press B Button)
Brute: GRRAWRAWRAWRWARRGGFGARRBBQWHAKAMOLE
Poor Chiefy goes flying, and my brother, who stopped playing World of Warcraft long enough to watch, laughs at me.
2 minutes later, I clear all the Brutes again, and I put like, 1 clip of BR into him and he dies.
Hand meets forehead :D.

Oh, I did that too... I went through all that trouble, and I found out that the trouble wasn't needed... Complete let-down...

Ok, then that's mine, because I didn't even know there was another way until reading this. I did think it was kind of weird and that I was probably doing it wrong; the chair kept falling over. But...wow. That's just moronic. How did I never notice that?!

But this thread really reminds me of the funniest--and dumbest--thing I've ever seen in SSB: Melee. My little brother was playing as Dr. Mario, got himself a Bob-Omb, and, since we weren't exactly playing a serious match, announced he was going to waste it. So, he threw it at a wall.

This was an odd sort of wall, though, because the bomb bounced straight back and blasted him into oblivion.

One of us had to pause the game for a couple minutes because we were all laughing too hard to pay it any attention.

Every time I try to play a NASCAR racing game, I usually wreck against the wall or get hit by some A.I. driver who is passing me. The worst of all was the time in NASCAR 2006 (I think, since they are so similar) when I caused a multi-car pileup and wrecked most of the cars early in the race. If I'd been playing Burnout, I would have had a great score. I rent NASCAR games btw every so often when I momentarily forget how bad I am at them.

I spent a good half an hour in the prison when you first become a wolf trying to get out. How was I supposed to know I could attack as a wolf?
