Embarassing Gaming Moments

[DK]

What are some things that you've done while playing a game that you'd be ashamed to tell someone else? Stupid **** like breaking a controller in frustration or something.

I've got two. One time I threw my copy of GTA3 out of the window cause I couldn't beat this one mission and it made my brother cry.

When I was young, I had to be restrained by my mom when while throwing a temper tantrum cause I couldn't beat Ken in Street Fighter 2 Turbo (the bastard)

Dave could hear me yelling obscenities from across the house when I was doing the flying school missions in GTA:SA.

Re: Embarassing Gaming Moments

I was having a hard time beating Bison with Guile in Super Street Fighter for SNES, and ended up yelling and screaming and throwing down the controller.

Re: Embarassing Gaming Moments

I made a female character in Final Fantasy XI and consequently had to explain
I was a man countless times. Is it odd I'd rather watch a girl's ass for 300 hours?

SOMEONE THAT UNDERSTANDS!! Finally!

Re: Embarassing Gaming Moments

When I was in fourth grade, after my dad pawned my Sega and my games with it, including Shadowrun, I used to walk around my neighborhood with a BB gun decked out in this shoddy looking coat I got from a Salvation Army pretending I was playing Shadowrun. I'd shoot at random stuff pretending Lone Star was after me. With some neighborhood kids, I'd sneak into their yard and pretend I was in the Salish Shidhe wilderness, scout them out, pretend they were some Amer Indian militia members, and we'd have cap gun fights.


I know. All because I loved Shadowrun so much. Pathetic.

I stick with male characters in MMORPGs and nobody ever asks any questions. It's fantastic.

Re: Embarassing Gaming Moments

I was literally screaming at Eileen during the last half of SH4: The Room. Screaming at the top of my lungs.

Re: Embarassing Gaming Moments

I cried when my Dad deleted my Persona save. I was at the end too.

Never beat it.

Re: Embarassing Gaming Moments

Aww. That sucks. Persona is such an awesome game, with endings worth seeing...

It's a good, long 50 hours through. I liked having everyone whip their guns out during battle, and especially loved having the high school kids kill Agent and SS enemies in the Sebec building with an assortment of firearms. It had so much infleunce on my own game idea...

Re: Embarassing Gaming Moments

Okay, where to begin:

When I was first exposed to the first great video games(Mario and Mega Man being the examples), I was about 5. I would mime being Mario, even down to the way he squats when you held the down button.

In elementary school, I had a blue hoodie. I used to pull my right hand in the sleeve and mimic Mega Man, jumping, shooting, and fighting imaginary bosses.

When I was at home, up until I was just over 13, I would mime RPGs, having turn-based battles with imaginary enemies, even managing my 'stats' and 'inventory'.

And yes, I've broken games and systems before. SYSTEMS. My PS2, 4 years ago, was a prime example. Damn you Smackdown. Three on one just isn't fair.

My When I was 12 or 13 or way younger(I have bad time perception) I had an N64 and Goldeneye. My brother's girlfriend came over one day with him(they were 16 er something) and told me to go to the pool. I came back early as hell because it was packed though. Walking by the window of my house I saw him pleasing her with the vibration function and the gun that fired alot of ammo rapidly.

If he found out I told you guys that he'd kill me so let's hope he doesn't become cool and visit this forum, ok.

PS.I couldn't make that up if I tried.

Never speak of that again.

I will never look at Goldeneye the same way again. And I will NEVER use the RCP90(My guess to the weapon used) again.
