Your worst ever day of gaming...

[MiracleOfSound]

Ever had a day of gaming where everything went wrong?

I shall start us off with, surprise surprise, yesterday's MW2 session:

1.
Began by joining and being thrown into a game of Domination on Rundown where every member of my team was negative by about ten kills...

Spawned under an AC130. Died.

Switched to cold blooded Stinger class. Got killed by explosive splash damage in team spawn.

Aimed the stinger at the AC130 but got killed by a Noob Tube fired into the C spawn from the other side of the map.

Game ended. 30 seconds of play, 0-3 and defeat.

2. Next game

Connection fucked. Shots not registering, getting killed by magic bullets, Akimbo shotgunners, and Commando teleporting knifers.

Rage quit.

3. Joined new game

Arrive in the building at the top corner of Crash onto a team that is getting utterly spawn raped and going completely negative.

Killed by harriers before switching to cold blooded and hiding in a building trying to shoot down the damn planes. Soon as they're gone the chopper gunner arrives and I have no stingers left so die again.

Proceeded to get killed over and over and over and bullshitted out of so many kills by lag/awful hit detection, then playing even worse due to the increasing rage...

I won't bore you all, but it got even better after that, to the point where I had to switch of the XBOX before it went out the window.

Share your most miserable experiences! (It doesn't have to be multiplayer)

... Don't really record my bad days. I remember [vaguely] feeling like it's all hit the fan, but I just turn off, then right back on and everything goes my way then...

The day my gaming computer broke, in January.

I had my arse kicked on Left 4 Dead 2, lost my connection, played a few other games that didn't turn out well, but hey, it's all good, because I'm buying Mass Effect 2 today!

I buy it, bring it home, turn on the computer, and the hard drive's burnt out.

It still isn't fixed, and I still haven't played Mass effect 2.

Something like this happened with my PS3 happened a few days ago. I play MW2, the game crashes I turn the ps3 off for a while while I go out and buy God of War 3 come home to find the damned PS3 wont play discs anymore. Still havent got the money to get it fixed either.

Worst day of gaming goes to the day where I just wanted to sit down and play some MW1 and I kept getting shit matches and called away by my parents every 20 minutes. So annoying.

Damn, that sucks.

Mine's similar.

I was in the middle of a boss fight that takes AGES and I'd grinded like a ***** to be good enough for it and, bamn, PS3 burns out. It'll cost £40 to fix it with a 50% chance of it breaking again within a week.

I have about 500 hours of gameplay saved on it AND my disk is still inside.

PS3 hard drive corrupting with no save data backed up for any of my games.
352 hours of Oblivion gone. GONE FOREVER.

 

[GodofDisaster]

All off last week, a never ending losing streak on Call of duty 4.

I finally won a game yesterday, and well lets just say the feeling of victory never felt so good.

I have days where it just doesn't 'click'. You just cannot get into the zone amd every button combo seems to be for another game or is just the opposite of what you intended.

As much as that sucks... I am so jealous that you get to play ME2 for the first time. Say goodbye to your life for a few days!

Fuck. Me.

It's going to be hard to top that. I think I'd actually cry if I lost my Oblivion saves.

The day my mother and I found out that my brother had sold about 20 of my games for his addiction.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
Some of then rare, and old PS2 era ones.

When I put the FFXIII disc into my xbox?

If that's not enough, I remember a day pvping in WoW where I was trying to get a trinket or something and I lost every single game, beaten so badly I had a 50 gold repair bill by the end of it. Needless to say, I don't bother pvping much anymore.

FF13 release day. Got it for the 360 (don't have a PS3).

I put in the first disk. I start playing. All smooth, and loving it. About 2 hours in, after defeating some green basilisk thingie boss, I move forward, it's gonna load a cutscene, BAM, game hangs up, but system still ok.
I return it and get another copy in the same day. I go back to that point, hangs again, but I remember, I had installed the Disk1 from the previous copy.
So I go to the dashboard, uninstall, and play again. Go back to the cutscene place and BAM, RRoD. I swear there's some deity out there that doesn't want me to watch it (still saving for a replacement system, as mine was an old one, out of warranty).

Might not be my worst day, but it is the worst in recent memory.

I started MW2. It went all well until I got thrown out of the server. Ok I told myself that can happen. I connected to a new server, played for a while and got thrown out again!
So I just said fu MW2 and started Bad Company 2. Now I wasn't even able to connect to the server even though it had worked fine the day befor. Now i thought that this was getting ridiculous.
I started cs, a good old game that works normally perfectly fine... but not on this sad day. I had no connection issue this time, but the game just chrashed!
I guess it was just one of those days.

 

[Instant K4rma]

Well, I went and rented Two Worlds a couple years back. that was probably my worst day.

 

[Simalacrum]

I don't usually get bad days... sorry

edit: although I guess my fat PS3 breaking and losing ALL my un-backed hard drive data was preeeetty vexing...
