The first time I went into Wintergrasp on WoW (a place where everyone who wants to kill you can come and kill you for points and shiny upgrades) and despite me playing on a PVP server I hate PVP. In fact the only reason I'm on a PVP server is because thats the one my friends were all on before they went and got girlfriends. So anyways I hate PVP and it's my first tiem in Wintergrasp and it's a very big place so I jump on my Giant Riding Wolf and ride around and suddenly i notice that everything is very quiet and I get the same feeling people must get in Friday the 13th films just before Jason put's a machete through their gizzards. I turn around and see a wave of Alliance Paladins, Warlocks and other various nightmarish armored fiends sprinting and popping their cool downs to spill my delicate elven blood faster than their dwarf mates. So I turned and rode away very fast laughing and typing /spit at them only to see a large golden hammer appear above my head and a gnome paladin standing having triumphantly stunned me. I had enough time just before the wave of enemy players engulfed my noble warrior to utter, "Oh Shit..."
Your worst Oh Shit, RUN! moment...

Two moments stick out particularly vivid in my mind. The first one is when I was around six or so I decided to hop in the middle of my dad's game on Half Life. It was in the hallway that led to the stairwell, with flickering lights and broken open soda machines everywhere. Thinking of Duke Nukem 3D I thought to myself, "Meh, whatever jumps out at me can be handled with a few bullets. Besides, monsters in games are never scary". Then one of the alien bastards jumps out from between the soda machine right before the stairwell and shrieks at me. I jumped at that of course, but when I heard that buzzing sound they make as they charge I felt a new kind of horror: the unknown. What the hell was it doing? Then it unleashed it's sith-powers on me with body exploding results. It was terrifying enough, and then I saw my eyeball bounce off of the wall and roll under the soda machine. Needless to say, I waited a few years before I had the balls to try it again.
Another time that pops into my head is when I played Monster Hunter for the first time on my buddy's PS2. Anyone who has played that game and is reading this should understand what I'm probably about to say. For those who don't, let me explain. Simple Answer: This game is hard-as-the-nipples-on-a-blind-lesbian-in-a-fish-market. Less Crude More Advanced Answer: When most games we're beatable with simple tactics, leveling, butten mashing, etc, this game actually threw your ass to the wolves with a loincloth and a pointy stick. No only that, but after a simple tutorial explaining how to harvest food, cook said food, and dig through said foods crap for interesting items, they said 'Go kill monsters with teeth, *****, and don't die while your at it. If you have trouble, try digging through the poo they leave and see if you can find something helpful. If not, your not hardcore or asian enough to handle this game. Pansy.' I'm completely serious. Exagerations are mild at most. When I realized that I couldn't just take them down by beating them upside the head, leveling up, or any of that other marshmellow stuff, I came to an understanding of who I am as a person. A complete wuss. This game was my obstacle in life, giving me the stink eye and saying my mom was ugly. To this day, regardless of how awesome my armor is or how badass my Great Sword skills are, I still experience a little tickle of fear belly when I see the Tigrex bum-rushing me from across a field. This is 'Oh Shit, RUN!' at it's purest. Not one *moment* in the game is specifically that, but the game *itself* is specifically meant to make you crap your pants. I will walk myself out gentlemen. A hunter can always find an exit. -F

Playing EndWar for the 360. I was the Americans fighting the Russians. I was fighting a tough opponent, using tactics rather than brute force to overcome my enemies. I knew something was amiss towards the end of the battle, but I was a bit busy to find out what. I had them flanked on both sides, their back to a corner and a force steadily approaching from the north. It seemed like I had it in the bag, until a trap was sprung on my approaching force. In a moment of confusion and hesitation (I didn't know whether to draw away my pinning forces to help or not), the forces I had pinned started attacking me. That's when extra enemy reinforcements shows up on my left flank and started attacking them. I realized I was cornered all over and simply flipped.
Though I managed to retreat, he kept me under constant assault for the rest of the battle until my defense gave way at a southern flank, and my entire army was overrun. I made sure to give the man due credit on his quick thinking and strategic genius.

Oh, almost forgot to mention what happened in Left 4 Dead 2. It was at the end of the Swamp Fever campaign, just before the boat arrived. Me and a friend were holed up in the house, fending off wave after wave of zombies. The boat finally arrives, and being a little strange, I wanted to end the campaign on full ammo. So I told my friend to accompany into the house to get ammo before leaving. Apparently we angered the Director, because we never made it out. Two Tanks were thrown at us atop the stairs, which we barely defeated, a third just outside the door to keep us in the house, which we slipped by, a fourth just beyond the steps which we ran past, a fifth near the gate which ambushed from nowhere, sending us back into the others who threw us into the house, a spontaneous sixth which spawned in the house, and then a seventh which we saw spawn near the gate and charge the house. It never reached the house because we were utterly dead, by then, but it was there. This was the single funnest, most hilarious, and intense moment I've ever had in an FPS.
Raiding Onyxia for the first time, fresh new level 60 without a care in the world *sighs as he remembers what WoW once was*
when playing mw2, walking up the stairs and seeing the whole enemy team infront of you. did i mention you're playing search, have 5 bullets left in your UMP, a fully loaded deagle, and you're the last one alive. and by whole team i mean all 6 players. "hmmm...i wonder if they're up h-OH SHIT"
Once on L4d2, my friends and I were playing realism mode on hard. Somehow, we had made it halfway across the level and only two of us had died, even though all my friends were noobs. Anywho, we were walking down this small hlway like are on top of a building when suddenly a spitter comes out of nowhere and downs my other bud. So it's just me, my shotgun, and my now crippled friend standing near the end of the hallway. I could see the exit, just another good push away, so i quickly try to pick up my friend. But of course, the Director wouldn't have it, and the instant I looked at my crippled kouhai, the ungodly sound of a thousand zombies came up from teh stariwell we were trying to go down. I thought, "well, it's just the horde', and being a sick mind reading asshole, the director immediatly sets the earth shaking with the arrival of a freshly spawned tank. Never have I run so fast in that game before.
(btw, we won the match. yes I almost single handedly killed the tank, with some quick thinking and heavy environmental explosives, those guys are just a bunch of pushovers. Ironically, the horde was more of a pain to deal with.)

And you got into that situation how?OverweightWhale said:
Actually that recalls the time I walked out of a tunnel and a Yao Guai instantly killed me. Then again after loading. And again. AND AGAIN.
But my worst Oh Shit Run! moment would be when me and my friends were beating Left 4 Dead on Expert. And we started getting chased by a Tank. A very crafty tank that managed to get a ninja drop on one of us, pummel the other two and lob a stone at the last.
"OH SNAP!"- Famous last words before getting crushed by flying masonry.
Do you by any chance watch 4PP?Callate said:

Silent Hill 2 in that moment in the basement of the hospital. I spent the entire sequence screaming at Maria to run faster, it scared the crap out of me. -Facepalm-
Penumbra: Overture, when that one thing starts chasing you (People who have played know what I'm talking about)
also, in Penumbra: Black Plague, when I go to get the saw.

my time was when ever a giant or albino rad scorpion was involved, or a death claw or SM overlord. And anything that was bigger than a rad roach and could sweep me down. dam game, still nuke everything is my motto, always works!!! oh yeah that bigger than a rad roach business, well that applies to any game Ive played from supreme commander 2 to gears 2!
Are you kidding me? I had like 11 of them playing Fallout 3 all involving heading to the RobCo Facility for Moira's damn book! I was level, I think I was 5 or 6 and it was HORRIBLE. Let me recount these moments and relive my anger and rage all over again!
It was a beautiful, wasteland, sunny day, I had to leave Megaton for this stupid chapter, noting how much I wanted to bash Moira's face in, but was not aware that I would desire it even more after I was finished with the quest...finally.
1) Attempt 1 began leaving Megaton, and everything was going alright, pretty good. I killed a dog or two and with my trusty companion Dogmeat and I felt invincible! Onwards to RobCo! Well wait, there was a guy being attacked by Molerats, haha, no problem for me and Dogme -- OH GOD WHY ARE THERE SO MANY!? After finding probably a small colony of them, we are eaten alive, Dogmeat dies, and because I can't help it, I want Dogmeat around, I reset. Fuck.
2) Back in action, we won't make THAT mistake again, right Dogmeat? Alright. So we're off again, this time we find a poor bastard being attacked by Raiders, well haha that's no problem for me and Dogmeat. Go boy! Attack! Haha! Good boy! Hey wait...what is he -- OH MY GOD IT'S A ROCKET LAUNCHER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!
3) This time, no problem! In fact, we'll take a WHOLE new path! Alright, so we've plotted a new course for RobCo. Hm? It's an enemy on my compass, no problem, probably a molerat or a raider or some crap. It's too big to be a mole -- YAO GUAI WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!
4) Megaton reboot. Alright, so I mean we've already had Molerats, Raiders, and a Yao Guai, so what's next? A Deathclaw? Hahaha! Foreshadow fail, for it was not a Deathclaw. In fact, it was nothing. Halfway to the facility Dogmeat runs off, how do I know? I turn back and FUCK WHERE ARE YOU!? Goddamn it, you stupid dog why did you run off -- OH GREAT, YOU'RE DEAD. Que the reload.
5) Oh thank god! After reloading back to Megaton, Dogmeat and I managed to make towards the facility and, lo and behold, I see it! I also see a robot. Fuck it, I'll destroy it! I have a raging hard-on stronger than the adamantium in Wolverine's body and I need to kill things to satisfy myself! Alright then, bring it on robo-*****! Oh fuck, what the hell is it firing?! Is that a nuke?! A ROCKET?! In the end, it didn't matter. I was on a broken part of the bridge when I was hit, and a nuclear explosion occurred (yes, I was near a car), after having a crippled leg and pain coursing through my body like that of being stabbed in the face with sharp keys, I decided...fuck...run. Dogmeat, however, was dead. Why did I not stop to reload? Because fuck, I wanted to see what happened. After that beautiful, eye shattering explosion, I limped away only to get a laser to the side of my skull. FUCKING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH -- reload.
6) This time, fuck it, I sniped that robot ***** from afar, walked past the bridge and Dogmeat followed. Wait...I turn back to find Dogmeat RUNNING UP THE BRIDGE AND FALLING OFF! FUUUUUUUUUUUU -- he's dead...
7) Inside, finally, fucking inside the Facility, killing shit, oh yeah, who the fuck is the man now, *****!? 7th time is the charm, finally, inside, okay, activate the computer, OH FUCK! Dogmeat doesn't know when to STFU and stop attacking, he died. Why do I reload? Because FUCK...YOU...DOGMEAT.
8) Inside, leaving Dogmeat in a room I get the chip, or whatever, activate the Protectrons, and he dies...how? Robot entered the room.
11) Reloading! Dogmeat goes the fuck back to the Vault now, (I neglect to say I tried it two other times before sending him to the Vault) and bingo! I win! WOO! Back to Megaton, dog freaks me out because I didn't see him there, but in the end, happy ending, Dogmeat lives, quest finished, my rage makes me need medicine...good day.
I neglect to mention tries 1-10 were ALL IN THE SAME DAY. Try 11...that came the following day. That was my OH SHIT RUN moment along with other nice frustrating tidbits thrown in.
