The stupidest thing you've done in a game

[Clearwater]

What's the most stupid/embarrasing thing you have ever done in a game? For me, it was

that time where i was following a cheat for Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS) and it said

i had to adjust my DS clock for 10 years forward.When i resumed the game, i saw

WEEDS - ALL OVER THE PLACE. There was no way i'd get rid of them all.The only option?

Delete my data and restart the game. It also turned out that the cheat was fake. Damn the

b*****d who posted that cheat.

I was playing Tomb Raider 3 on my brother's PC, back when he lived in my parent's house still, I was maybe about 12 years old. When he was out, I decided to play in his save game to see where he was, and he was actually in the London level about to fight that crazy woman. I tried to fight her, but I accidentally jumped off the side of the building, to my death. But before I actually died, I thought I would just load the game and start over. So I paused, and the little passport thing came up where I could load or save. And I accidentally saved. While falling to my death. I don't even.

 

So yeah, big trouble for that one.

Hmm, well I naturally repress everything bad, but I do recall on Pokemon Blue, levelling up my Charmander until it evolved, then I turned off the game without saving, I didn't realize what I had done, so I levelled up charmander again, then turned it off AGAIN without saving. Until finally I was told about the saving. Darius Angel strikes again!

Aside from playing and beating Command ( ), I think I did few stupid things in games... Except for Garry's Mod:

 

-Tried to trick my friend into pressing a bomb trigger that I was setting. She triggered it just as I was placing invisible dynamite. Fail.

 

-For some odd reason apparently trying to exit the TARDIS while clipping through a wall is not the best idea. In which case it will cause your game to crash from too many LUA errors.

 

-Spawned a bunch of NPCs (bloody hell, even StarFox NPCs!) and gave them energy weapons for a playtest to see if they worked. "Oh hey wonder what's the 'Make Hostile' button does."

All I have to say about that is, Krystal shot first.

 

-Smashed by everything you can imagine while at different sizes. Varies from the Enterprise to a TF2 truck to an Abrams tank to a Companion Cube to a nuclear warhead to Krystal to many, many cars.

 

-Weeping Angels. WEEPING ANGELS.

 

-Made a controllable-ish Dalek. Placed a gun to make the laser, stood behind it to avoid being shot, and guess what happened? The bullets went the wrong way, and no-clipped through the Dalek to hit me.

 

-Used an admin gun too close.

 

-Many, many of my unpublished screenshots in the past.

I remember the worst action of my Executor career. 

 

I was fighting some wannabe Commander of a Terran fleet. We both had extended out bases to almost touching each other. I was setting up a army of Immortals, Phoenixes, and Voidrays. My army was great. I sent the ground troops with the Phoenixes to attack the bases one by one leading to his main one. I got two of them before he sent his army. While my Voidrays whom I sent to go around the map to his main base started taking some of the buildings. Little did I know that he had a literal f**king large body of Marines coming at my Voidrays. I tried to move them out but I lost about a third of them. So I sent them to help with the other part of my army and whatyaknow, F**KING TERRAN MARINES EVERYWHERE. It looks like a bunch of ants ripping apart a dead corpse. I was able to pull some Colossals in all the fighting and tore those marines apart. Yet this mass of Marines extended to game to +45 minutes.

Fighting the last boss of Dark Souls should not of taken me eight or so attempts. I should of had him on the second (and third, fourth, and so on until the eighth) attempt. He wasn't even dangerous at all, all I had to do was block and back up, absorbing about two of his attacks before I backed up enough that he wouldn't hit (and even if he did hit his full combo, I could block it all), but I get him down to no health left in his bar, but my window for attacking was closed, and you know that voice in your head, the one with good advice that says, "Don't go for it, you won't get it before he attacks, just wait for another cycle then finish him off?" Yeah, I didn't listen to that voice. This was the only reason I died on Gwyn, besides the first attempt. I had Gwyn dead to rights each attempt, but got cocky.

I was playing the original Pikmin, and I was on that second level where you first meet up with those giant bird snake things that come out of the ground. I thought I finally figured out how to get to one of the ship parts without attracting the attention of said bird snakes. What ended up happening was not only did I get the attention of the birds, I also had to contend with three large size bulborbs (giant ladybug looking things that stay on the ground) [yes, i had to look up the name ] and one of the many enemies that poisons your Pikmin. I managed to screw it up so badly, that whichever Pikmin weren't defeated drowned in the nearby body of water after being flung into it. I literally managed to go through all 250 or so Pikmin. That's right, I literally lost every single Pikmin I had in about half a "day".

Stupidest thing I've done in a game...well, everything when I'm bored.

 

Killing my allies, shooting my own mothership, ignoring important objectives, etc.

 

but not during online matches 

[Harmony Descent]

Oh gosh.  Here we go...  (NOTE:  "*" means I will explain later)

 

BF3 (whenever I had it and played it):

-  Flying into a tree on accident

-  Setting off a C4-covered jeep next to a friendly tank when I though it was an enemy tank

-  Throwing a grenade, running in it's general direction, see a grenade icon and attempt to run, then die by my own grenade.

-  Tried to run over someone with a jeep, didn't register my roadkill, slammed into a rock and exploded.

-  Shooting at people near a flag and not paying attention to my flying, then slam into a construction crane.

 

Red Faction Guerrilla:

 

-  While knocking down a building, debris hits civilians, kills them, and I cause demoralization in that area.

-  Admiring a tall building I destroyed and realized the debris was coming down in my direction at the last second.

-  Hitting a tank with a hammer while being shot*.

-  Trying to throw satchel charges onto an EDF flyer*.

-  Got too close to a huge explosive tower - you know the outcome.

-  Had to protect a Red Faction building; I destroyed it without looking at the mission directives.

 

BF: BC 1:

 

-  Since there aren't any icons for grenades, I throw mine and while I'm shooting at someone, I didn't realize the grenade bounced off the overhang above me and landed beside me.

-  Used the artillery gun on a stage and a comrade walked right into my path where I was targeting someone.

 

GTA IV:

 

-  Tried running over another player, my game showed I hit them, but it didn't on their screen and I collided with another car - character launched out, and the player ran up and killed my character while he was on the ground.

-  Was ramming my helicopter into other players and the propellers broke off.  So, I skidded across the ground for a little while.  Right as I stopped, I just sat there and watched everyone - friendly fire was off, by the way - and as they were shooting my already trashed helicopter, I saw a player in an 18 wheeler come barreling down the runway and slammed into me.  This killed my character.*

-  Was fist-fighting a civilian on a walkway next to a long fall down into the water, and while we were fighting, I got too close to him and he pushed me back.  This caused my character to tumble down into the water and the NPC to follow me down into the water, and just stare at me while cursing at me.

 

Bionic Commando (PS3):

 

-  Trying to Rambo into squads of NPC's spawning in from the ceiling.  Don't.  Ever.  Do.  That.

 

Can't think of anymore at the moment.  But, those are the most memorable ones to me.

 

EDIT:

Explanations:

RFG:

 

-  Hitting vehicles of any type in this game with the hammer will cause them to explode eventually.  Doing so on a tank seems like it takes an eternity.

-  EDF flyers are like police helicopters in sandbox games:  They hover fairly high and shoot down at you.  The only difference is that it's a one-man craft.  Plus, I never knew how small the things were until I used the  rail gun and saw the pilot sitting in the pilot seat.

 

GTA IV:

-  It's weird that whenever your chopper blades break off and the chopper hits the ground, you lose health because of it, yet you don't whenever you hit a wall with any other vehicle.  So, if you're still sitting in a trashed helicopter and someone hits you with any vehicle, albeit an 18 wheeler, lorry, sedan, SUV, etc. etc., you will either get seriously hurt or die.  I did it to a friend of mine whose chopper blades broke - he's coming straight at me, by the way - and his chopper started sliding down the runway with me flooring it with a lorry.  Granted, we started laughing whenever I collided with the chopper head-on, my character flew through the front window, and his character died.

One I was playing Star Fox: Assault with a friend. I had the gatling gun and was chasing him around the map, when he was almost dead he jumped off the cliff, just for the heck of it. I wasn't thinking and ran off after him. I've also done that a few times in HALO as well.

 

Edit: Woot! 200th post!

[Vulvokunvrii]

When I played Skyrim for tghe first time, I was bascially in a foreign land, never setting foot in a magical landscape before, I saw a Giant while walkign around with Lydia. I was like, "Hey Lydia a giant mabye we can talk to it and trade or something!"

So I wlak up to it and I'm like, "Heeey!" and it turned around, looked at me, and roared and almost killed me. SO I'm like, "its hostile, kill it!" so I backded up and lydia is trying to go rambo on it, and she gets stomped like a belgian waffle, and then it comes for me and ball parked me to Russia. I was like, "Holy shit what the heheck just happened?!"

Oh yes, Giant problems. When I first played Skyrim, I was leaving Whiterun and skirmished with a giant with my bow, eventually it keeled over wounded, you know the drill. I didn't realize what was happening and somehow arrived at the conclusion that it was surrendering or something so I foolishly went up to it just as it recovered, that was the worst decision I ever made in that game.

I really do think there should be an option to capture enemies when they're on their last bits of health and struggling. Keep them as prisoners, slaves, sacrifices to the Daedric Princes, who knows.

I'd recruit them and make my own little army.

[psy_commando]

Everything, every single days I play TF2 XD

 

There's also once in bf1942, I was playing on kharkov (I think) and I was playing russian. I was an assault class, and I had the awesome DP machinegun. For some reasons, I held the damn hill all by myself for pretty much 20 minutes. The germans were climbing the hill one by one, and were sitting ducks for me. And I'd take out vehicles and sometimes soldiers with the aa turrets. There were also a few tanks, but I nade spammed them :3

 

But anyways, after a while I began wondering why the heck nobody was coming to the hill.. I looked at the scoreboard. I'm top player, I got like 100 points when the most of anybody else is 10 ...

I kinda panicked, given how that kind of differences could have gotten me kicked. and ran into the first german I saw, feigned shooting at him.

And after he missed like 10 times at short distance, and after reloading he finally killed me ....

And when I re-spawned, I took back the hill by myself..

 

That was so stupid XD

And I think there were a lot of newbies that day on this server !

 

I also landed a B17 on the Enterprise in Forgotten Hope ! And after repairing it, I took off with no problems !

I also discovered a very weird glitch in bf1942 1.61. I was making server-side mods for some people, namely my clan in this case, and I'd usually start a local server to test the mods out, and remove the modified files before playing online. But one day, I forgot to remove those files and went playing on my clan's Desert Combat server..

It wasn't set for pure content only, and punkbuster didn't say anything at all.

 

So, when playing, I noticed that all the fog was gone from Berlin (the map our server was pretty much running non-stop). And I found that pretty weird..

But next, I accidentally hit enter while I was firing my gun, and I had my finger pressing M1 while the class menu opened. It made me select another class and I just pressed enter again to close it. And then, to my surprise, the game changed my kit from Assault to Spec Ops, without killing me or respawning me D:

I can't tell you how much we messed around with that XD

[CrypticQuery]

About a few months ago I was playing through Skyrim for the first time.  If I remember correctly I was going through one of the crypts and had just killed off a few frostbite spiders.  Believing the room to be clear, I backed up toward the door and did a quick turn-around, only to find a giant frostbite spider directly in front of my view. 

 

I jumped so goddamn much IRL that I actually broke the keyboard tray on my desk and nearly shoved my monitor over onto the floor. xD  

[The Shaper]

I used to need game FAQ's for games that were so linear that there was only one direction I could go in.

[WOLFjr]

In Halo Reach when I bumped into my teammate causing us both to fall into the water below into a double suicide. It actually got shown on the Achievement Hunters' Fails of the Weak video series on episode 87:

Mine is the fourth one.

[Salem]

in Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask In the fourth temple I could not figure out how to get through the temple so I put the game down for about 10 years and then found out that you had to blow up the floor that was a shade lighter and then I beat the rest of the game in about three hours Face-pawing the entire time.

[Clearwater]

I shoula put this in the Arcade. I'll give my thanks to any mod/admin who can move it over there.
