Last one I remember, in Magicka.

*Gets Firestorm*

Me being curious, casts firestorm. Cue scene of my friends and I running around like a Benny Hill scene before being taken out one by one by falling flaming meteors. Then it was back at the start of the scene, way away.

Friend of mine playing one of the very early Tomb Raiders, didn't realise you could have more than one save file. So he worked his way through the whole thing, meticulously saving but only the one. He got right to the end, when all he had to do was jump across some pillars to reach the finish, and someone else in the room advises him to save, just in case he screws it up. So he does...

Unfortunately, that means his one and only save point just happens to be where the pillars are falling away, and he dies. Reloads... dies. Reloads... dies. 10 seconds away from the end of the game.

And because there's just the one save file, he's never able to go back to the previous save and complete it.

Oops.

 

[putowtin]

first play thru of oblivion...

didn't realise you could fast travel!

My dark elf's feet must have been killing!

 

[Nouw]

Let's just say I get stuck in Portal 2 a lot.

 

[Trolldor]

Fallout New Vegas.
Vats me some Joe Cobb and Ringo decided to run in front of me and lost his head.

 

[Valdus]

Zelda OOT.

Got to the dungeon on Death Mountain as a kid then went into a room where you had to blow up a door with a bomb flower. The game must have glitched or I must have failed badly but despite bombing the hell out of the door once it didn't open. So I figured there was another way through. Looking through the manual I saw a picture of adult link fighting a dragon on lava - so I assumed the dragon must be the boss of this dungeon and that I needed to be an adult to complete it.

So I left the dungeon and explored Hyrule for about 1 year RL (too be fair though, the game was pretty fun to explore and dick around in) before trying again for shits and giggles and bypassing the dungeon this time.

Let's keep the fails rolling everyone! Let's see some silly, awesome fails!

 

[EHKOS]

My worst fail was when I was a very little kid playing Final Fantasy VII for the first time. I got stuck between Sector 5 and Wall Market because I couldn't tell that that flat amorphous bar on the screen was something Cloud was supposed to be able to walk on. I got lost there long enough for my character to hit something like level 17.

THE AMAZING GRAPHICS OF FINAL FANTASY SEVEN!

I got stuck in Virtua Quest because I didn't know you could jump over a fence for about an hour

 

[Chrmike]

well, that's quite the fail there.

 

[mireko]

L4D

On the first level I threw a pipe bomb, accidentally blowing up the gas station and killing/incapacitating my entire party.

Yay.

 

[Chrmike]

I'll bet you were the fan favorite that day.

 

[ZtH]

The first time I played through No Mercy in L4D I was with a group of my friends. On the rooftop we were near the chaingun due to a mishap with a molotov downstairs when the tank showed up. My friends were screaming, but I had no idea why. I used the melee attack to send a zombie off the roof and said into voice, "oh, thats awesome you can melee enemies off the roof" right before I got hit from behind by a punch from the tank and went soaring off myself.

Just watch every one of the Halo: Reach fails of the week videos. Hilarity will ensue.

SO MUCH FAIL... IT BURNSSSS

 

[Someone Depressing]

Minecraft.
My friend had a server, and he opened up a mod on it. He said, "Let's go on my server and check it out!"

It was an animal/mob modification.
He had already tamed a shark, stuck it in a cage, and had it pop-out an entire family.
It also had horses, I had rode one, he didn't tell me it had to be tamed before you could ride it, and it kicked me off into the shark pit...
Hilarity occured (Or, at least I could tell from my friend's painful rib-cage bursting laughs that echoed from his mic).

 

[swankyfella]

I got stuck in Portal 2 in a way that Valve hadn't thought of and had to load my last save.

That's actually pretty impressive. They thought of most ways you could get stuck.

 

[FalloutJack]

GTA: San Andreas

Shot down a police 'copter, got in a car to take off, went up in a fiery bang when the heli crashed into me.

Stole a helicopter, but wasn't sure how to pilot it. Went higher, higher, higher...and then I hit the wrong button. CJ steps out, falls from a great height, and is heard to say "What the F-"

[HEADING=1]SPLAT![/HEADING]

 

[Mister Benoit]

Recently probably Borderlands.

One of the later missions in Old Haven (I think) involves putting out like 3 fires. I didn't realize it was fire's I had to put out because I didn't read and was wondering why there was nothing at the quest marker.

I absolutely hate the Borderlands Quest Marker >.<

Also I finished Portal for the first time on the day Portal 2 came out.

There is a section towards the end which involves falling into a small area and having pips close the area off over your head, then 3 doors open each with a turret before them. I couldn't find my way out. I could've sworn I had checked the hole to see the wall but I didn't... until much much later lol.

 

[klasbo]

Not mine. Nakam from team >Rush put together this:

Aaaand shameless LAGTV plug:

Just watch every one of the Halo: Reach fails of the week videos. Hilarity will ensue.

I heard Geoff's laughter can cure cancer.

 

[Chrmike]

I've heard that theory as well.
