Ever mess up real bad? Ever reach a boss and die only to find out you haven't saved? Ever do something really noobish? Well if so then post it here!

Here is one of mine:

This one happened in Diablo 2. Now any one who has played online will remember those guys who are spam the chat room with things like "Leaving D2 send Acc/pass for all my stuff." Well I fell into one of those. I was a noob and had a level 20-something character that I really loved, I log on and see a guy offering all his belongings for the first person to message him, all that phat lewt he could have had blinded me and I ended up sending him my info. Well after minute I hear no response so I think : "Some one else got to him before me, dang I am so unlucky." So I log off. After 15 minutes I realize what just happened and ran as fast as I could to my computer only to find that my password was wrong. I was so angry/sad that I made a new account and tried to find that guy to beg for it back but I never found him again. I did not play D2 for several weeks after that.

And that's my story of how I was a noob and got served. Your turn....
 
Believing rumors on AOL message boards that Luigi was playable and Yoshi was rideable in Mario 64. This was back when I was completely new to the internet (back in '97) and nowhere near as jaded and untrusting as I am now. I honestly spent so much time trying to find a way to get these characters and I completely fell for the photoshopped pictures that were floating around. That whole episode is pretty embarrassing now.
 
I loved pokemon, and I had a lot of free time, so I printed out almost every single rumor that was to be had and tried almost every single one.
 
I bought Auto Modellista on launch day for $50. I probably spent a good 30 minutes playing it.


When San Andreas first came out, I came home from work one night and spent the entire evening looking for 'bigfoot' and 'aliens' lol
 
When Super Metroid came out I heard a rumor that you could flip your ship and send it into the ground to reveal a new area by doing the power jump in a certain location. I called the Nintendo Power hotline to find out and I'm surprised they didn't laugh at me.
 
i remember when i was younger, before i had a tv in my room..the video game consoles would be in the living room, facing the door people would walk in through from outside..so like..one time i was playing MGS and it was the scene were psycho mantis took over meryl and she was getting all sexual, imagine ur mom and a ton of her friends from work ...walking in JUST at that scene
 
better yet ur grandma watching u play as the stripper in dead to rights, she was laughing at that part though, so it wasnt as awkward
 
I remembered another one. I was playing FF7 and ofcourse Aeris dies. Well I hated losing a party member and when I first saw it I figured I could just use pheonix down. Well obviously I could not. I went online and found a way to bring her back. The method involved finding 100 of a random item then finding some key to the city then going back the church to do something. I spent hours and hours doing all of this until I finally realized that it wasn't gonna happen.
 
Haha, I've done the same thing dtarasev! I'll never forget the General Leo rumors with FF6. I named every character "Leo" and beat the game. Internet was evil back then.
 
Well... not thinking of using the revival pill in Snake Eater when The End or whatever the ghost's name was pissed me off for a bit. Then I actually tried to beat Azurik as it was the only Xbox game I had(my dad didnt know any better then.). And there are most likely more and if I think of a funny one, I'll post it later.

There was this one time I was jacking it to a female Night-Elf in WoW and my asshole friend busted in on me with a camera. What a douchebag.

You're kidding right? Where the video?

1. Yes. It's a topical joke which I hope a few people got.
2. Why would you willingly want to watch a person mutilating his unit to a Wow character?
 
I starting playing Half-Life 1 on the PS2 one Saturday. I probably played it for six hours straight. The whole time I was 'quick saving', thinking that it actually SAVED my damn game. Apparently, it only temporarily saved my progress, and saved NOTHING on my memory card. What a crock of shit! Next time I turned it on I found out I didn't have a saved game. I couldn't even sit through the intro again, and I haven't touched it since.

Must every post you make be totally unproductively anti-Nintendo?

Probably my most embarassing (looking back on it) would be when I first beat Mario 3 on the NES. I was SOOO ecstatic I had to call my Mom long distance from my Dad's house to tell her all about it. My Mom is a saint to have put up with things like that. ;)

As long as they keep getting actual responses, then yes.

In all seriousness, my most embarrassing moment would probably have to be playing Bug's Bunny Crazy Castle for the NES, in which my dad fished out of a dumpster. Pretty damn fine game though. Oh, and willingly renting "Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom" that was pretty embarrassing.
 
I started playing Brave Fencer Musashi and I got about 6 hours in, but I didn't have my memory card because I let my cousin borrow it. He was at work and I left my PSone on for about 8 hours until he got home and had to go drive and pick it up, come home and save it.

Now I realize, that was kinda lame.

that's not too lame, I started a game of All Star Baseball for the N64 at about 8 in the morning, had to go somewhere, so I paused it until I got back, which was about 14 hours later. I did win the game though.
 
Only 2 things come to mind:

1- waaay, waaaaaay back when we first got our NES, and my mom beat Bowser (or was he still Koopa then?) on world 1-3, we all thought she'd won the game. Imagine our dissapointment when the Princess was in Another Castle! Imagine our surprise the next way when one of my mom's co-workers told us there were 8 levels! :D

2- not me, but I was awtching my borther play Mario RPG once, and he mentioned to me that he'd gotten some item he didn't know what to do with- a Cricket Pie (or something like that- the 2nd one you get).

Me: *long pause*.... did you take it to Frogfucius?
Him:.... HEY! I never thought of that!
 
You're not the only one who thought that there was only 1 world in Super Mario Bros. Hey, I was like 5 years old and had never encountered video games before, what did I know?!

I got some shots in my butt cheek, went back home, sat (rather uncomfortably at this point) back down on the couch, unpaused FF8, and proceeded to BEAT the game. I had a tape all ready in the VCR so I could record the last few moments of the final battle and then the ending sequence.


Most embarrising moment was probably using a FAQ for Devil May Cry TWO.

I would have mentioned getting beat in Street Fighter by an Asian kid half my age, but I assume that just happens to everybody.
 
The most embarassing thing did not happen to me but to my Uncle. He and I were playing soccer on the old Atari 2600 and he somehow managed to score a goal against his own goalie.

I was laughing at him because he sucked so bad.
 
In high school, someone thought they would be clever and test my gaming knowledge by asking, "Who's the final boss in street fighter II?" I answered, "Sheng Long."

*sigh*
 
I rented a TurboGrafx as a kid, along with Bonk's Adventure. I was only a few stages in, and got totally stuck. There was a sleeping dinosaur head, and I couldn't go past the screen. I think I spent at least a good hour messing around to no avail. Finally, I realized I had to bonk him on the head so he'd open his mouth for me to crawl inside. I even saw it on a damn screenshot in an ad and didn't think to do it.

A similar thing happened to me with the doors in Metroid the first time I played it.
 
When MGS3:Snake Eater first came out I played all the way from the first mission to the part where you and eva are escaping through the jungle. I was sick that day, and trying to keep Eva safe, and advance through the mission was more then I was willing to deal with by that point, so I turned off the game and went to sleep only to find out the next day that I had not saved since right before fighting the metal gear. It took me over 2 months to decide to fight that damn thing again and finally beat the game.
 
as a young kid I bought the original Mega Man for the nes. Played it at my friends house and it was soo hard that we got frustrated. That same day, we brought it back to the store and exchanged it for Jaws...

I still have that Jaws cart to this day...
 
I had over 100 hours racked on Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando with almost everything unlocked. When I went to load my game, my controller went haywire and I accidentally erased the whole thing. Goddamn eight months of playing it whenever I had the opportunity only to have it erased.
 
Crying when I died in Super Mario World for the first time (it was on the mountain stage)

Also in Super Mario World, when I believed that there was a Purple Yoshi and spent a good chunk of a week trying to unlock him in every stage.
 
killing myself w/the tire on a swing in half-life 2. oh, that was &(*%$ hilarious!

...and, more recently having my ddrmax2 data get corrupted.
 
I am not sure if you count that really as a embarrasing moment, but take this.
Played FFX for a while and it realy hooked me. So i play it till the end until i faced the final boss (well thats what i tought) which is Jeck (was that his name).
I took the hard lesson that i could not beat this boss and i had to put another 5-10 hours in the game to get at least for Yuna her Ulitmate weapon. That way i could at least cast Holy all day long without loosing mana.

The other one, i don't get above stage 1 in R-Type 3 (GBA). I am lame...:))
 
[quote name='Kayden']Does getting caught with a dual shock controller on your balls constitute embarassing?[/QUOTE]
No. It constitutes exciting. Woooooo!

lol, i remember I used to do that to people... Anyways, I was stuck in kingdom hearts in the wonderland level for the longest time. I ran out of potions and just couldnt get one for the life of me to open up the flower to grow big. I than realize I couldve just bought one at the store after about 2 hrs of play... this happened last night. In my defense I was pretty bombed.
