Your most embarrassing gaming blunders

[Wazzelbe]

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.

To Angrymanokemon:agreed

Halo 3:Walking out into the open when the enemy has the sniper....
Call of Duty 4:walking into a grenade

Gears of waricking up grenades or a weapon with an enemy in ther open...

In Call of Duty 4, for some reason I seem addicted to throwing grenades everywhere. And more than once, mind you, I either ran far enough to where i threw it or the grenade bounced off a FREAKIN SATILITE DISH and landed infront of me killing myself.

Happend atleast once every time i got online.

 

[CodeChrono]

I spent 5 hours on one level of portal. *blushes*

 

[Pseudonym2]

Every time I blow my self up with my own grenade. (I don't think there's a FPS I played where I didn't do that.)

Every time I drive/run/jump off a cliff because I think there's something down there. (Once again I don't think there's a game I played where I haven't done that.)

 

[ImperialPyromancer]

Call of Duty RPG's with Sonic boom as a primary weapon. Was bloody fun but practically mandatory to die on the second rpg, to get another 2 on respawn. Stupid, but again, I can't stress how FUN! Although probably doesn't count as a blunder, as it was intentional...
Biggest blunder... Voting yes for a 20 player harcore map on Shipment. Was awful and a half.

 

[Squarewave]

Not my most embarrassing moment, but fresh in my mind sense I just did it yesterday.

Was playing GTA4 and had to steal a truck from a warehouse that was filled with guys trying to kill me. So I think, "hey I'll just throw a grenade in kill them all at once" *throws grenade* *watches it roll under the truck I needed to steal* *watches the truck explode in a huge fireball killing everyone myself included* *facepalm*

 

[Anarchemitis]

Pressing 'lie down' instead of 'jump'. I'm sure you can assume what happened,

 

[Shieldsy]

I remember trying to throw a nade out of the garage steps in Source, miscalculated it bounced of the door trim hit me in the head, and when i tried to retreat my team mates blocked my way...killed myself and 2 others.

I tried to throw a plasma grenade out of a building in Halo, same deal, difference was it stuck to my mates head, who decided to kamikaze me.

Cheers

Dude, that's not bad. That part is annoying. You also have to figure out which part of the tube needs to get hit. That part had me stuck for awhile.

Playing Harvest Moon, throwing vegetables into the dog house thinking it was the delivery box.

And I wondered why I wasn't making any money.

I did not know you had to do that until this very moment.
I did the chair thing all 4 times I played through the game.

it would have to be the first time i played twilight princess. i spent 2 hours trying to figure out how to fish using the fishing rod in the first area. i almost threw the wii remote through the screen. lol

I think everyone hated that damn fish. We all had that problem.

Returning three different copies of MGS2 because I thought the disc was defective. If you've played it, you know what I'm talking about.

 

[Niccolo]

Hahahaha, nice one Ximum... yeah, that's gotten many a gamer.

I think for me, it'd be having my ass handed to me on Soul Calibur III... by my mother. >_> She button-mashed and I was attempting to play with a modicum off skill - and failed miserably. That was sad and funny.

 

[Thedarkestofsouls]

In Battlefield 1942, the secret weapons expansion pack. I was playing in the level (can't remember the name) with the snowy lab where the allies get the flying drop point. For those who have never played this, the Allies must capture a Germany Warehouse and the local town as capture points, and it's (in my opinion) one of the best expansion maps in the game. However, the Allies get a plane in the beginning that you or the AI can fly where people spawn inside, then can jump out and parachute down to any point on the map. To counter this, the Germans have (I think) Three AA guns near the lab, that can be used for defense (the AI usually ignores them or uses then on Tanks instead)

Well, I had just eaten a face full of snow (thanks to the tank that had shot me in the back) and decided to choose my spawn point in the air, because jumping out of that plane is, to borrow a phrase, "Totally F*cking Sweet". Anyway, as I selected it and waited to time in, I could have sworn the little "These are you allies" Markers were getting further away from the plane. I then spawned in to fine the plane empty and 4 seconds from the convenient mountainside near the research lab. My "Oh Sh-" was cut off when the plane slammed into the side of the mountain, and I died again.

This, coupled with the fact that my two friends (who were rotating with me for matches) were sitting right behind me, is why I have confidence saying this is my most embarrassing moment ever in gaming history (and I certainly hope ever)

The only remotely wierd thing about that was wen *SPOILERS FOR A GAME THAT'S YONKS OLD* Campbell goes batshit *END SPOILERS* and even then, I figured it was supposed to happen.
