Do you panic or get scared when you're the last man standing?

When I'm the last man standing on my team, suddenly every survival instinct I have comes into play (as well as heaping helpings of shit-in-your-pants fear). While I do find it legitimately terrifying (suddenly every in-game noise sounds like the impending of the enemy players) the satisfaction when you do manage to defeat the others and win the round is so satisfying that it makes it all worth it.

I never panic, mostly because I'm usually the best player on my team anyway, and if I can't pull out a win then no one can give me shit about it because they wouldn't have been able to either.
Also, I can usually pull out the win.

No, that is the reason I love survival modes, I'm just waiting until the other guys die and I'm the only one left, because suddenly what you do is the most important thing in the match, and when that pressure is on my shoulders it's like all my senses are enhanced and suddenly I have better aim and faster reflexes, not to mention it's always great when everyone's kissing you're ass because you saved the day.
In video games, I don't really worry about it.
If I'm playing paintball, I think oh shit, this is going to hurt.

I usually panic like crazy and end up getting shot instantly, but there have been a couple occasions when playing on MW2 with some friends I was the last man on S&D against 4 or 5 other players and I have managed to eliminate the entire team.
The best bit was at the end of the round when you can hear everyone in chat and my friends were laughing hysterically because I'm usually the worst player in the world and I was so hyped.

I get a lot of adrenaline. Heart beating fast, jumpy and everything. I play at my best when I am the last one alive.
Oh man, do I know how you feel. ^^hazabaza1 said:
I usually don't enjoy shooters that much, but I rarely felt as powerful as that one time, in SW : Battlefront 2, when my team had only one ticket left, and I was it, and ended up winning the game.
The thing is,at the time my last ally got shot, the ennemy had 80 dudes left. By the time I was done, the team chat was going INSANE.
Ah, jetpack + upgraded pistol : good times.
I'm pretty much always on my own in multiplayer games.
I really, really don't like fighting along side other people. It just doesn't work for me.
So I usually just go out by myself and cap all the flags myself.

When those three magic words are spoken, shit gets real. I think of a way to kill as many zombies as I can before I become infected. The music starts and the badassery begins! For a couple of seconds anyway, I usually get swamped.

Left 4 Dead. Expert. Fuck
Last man standing vs a Tank and the horde of specials that follow trying to run to the closet holding the entire rest of the team... Woo go pressure!
Interestingly, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 has the exact opposite when you have your last team member standing. You can be completely confident that you're going to destroy the other guy's entire team fairly often.
This miracle mechanic is known as... Level 3 X-Factor. Of course some characters have almost no X-Factor anchor potential (see X-23) but most characters get transformed into epic super versions of themselves.
Nova gets a piss easy infinite in Lvl 3 X-Factor for example
See also Dark Wesker Rises for the ultimate example of this. Fuckin' Wesker man.
Oh anyone who has SFXT can you tell me if anyone uses Pandora Mode effectively? It seems to have almost become a non-mechanic in most of the videos i've watched on SFXT.

I don't panic or get scared or anything like that. But I do tend to rush myself and thus, make silly mistakes. The reason I rush during these moments is because I don't want to hold everyone else up and waste their time, you know?
Depends on the game. If it's a standard FPS then I often tend to fail miserably. However, in the ME3 multiplayer, I've wound up alone against a few guardians and combat engineers. Despite me being the weakest player (only rank 9), I managed to wipe everyone out.
My favourite though was in AVP (a flawed but fun little game for fanboys everywhere), I used to be pretty badass as a marine, usually surviving last man standing on infestation or giving them all hell on my way out.
