Noob Moves

I was at work and a colleague asked me how to spell 'Jeopardize'. I didn't know, so I decided to misspell it on Google, thinking it would correct me. I typed in 'geypordise' and hit enter.

To this day I still get asked if i'm 'searching for gay paradise'.

I once brought a friend to a family dinner (extended family). I had been introducing him to my family throughout the evening, but when i got to my uncle (Keith) i introduced him as Steve(my other uncle). I called him the wrong name twice before i realized my mistake. It was followed by an awkward, but thankfully quick, moment.

When I was a noobish noob on Battlefield Bad Company 2, I was trying to shoot a rocket launcher out a window while side-stepping. Needless to say, I missed the window and blasted myself to smithereens.

Another time on Battlefield bad company I was using a hotkey to switch to my repair tool and accidentally switched to my rocket launcher. I blew up our team's tank and myself with that.

Constant fragging myself on Halo. I still do those twitchy noob things. I am even guilty of killing myself with a needler via bouncing needles into wall right in front of me while side-stepping.

In real life, wondering why my food wasn't cooking fast, only to find out 10 minutes later I failed to turn the stove on properly.

I do all those video game related things. The amount of times I've killed myself while side-stepping with rocket launchers.

I was in bits laughing at that.

Mine was actually quite recent. I started a thread, comparing hockey to anime. I was so eager to get the discussion going, I didn't bother to check the validity of my point with any research, and because my experience with hockey was similar to Jack Thompson's experience with games, I came across as a judgmental, ignorant, hick.

My first time playing Left For Dead. I was a Hunter and decided to play cautiously. I kept circling, waiting for the best moment to strike, and before I could even attack the survivors had finished the stage. One of my teammates adequately assessed my performance with a "you suck."

My friends love this one. About fifteen years ago, I was in a camp talent show. I sang and acted a scene from West Side Story by myself. It was going great and just as I was finishing up, I thought it would be in character to strike a manly pose, so I simultaneously dropped down on one knee and entered a flexing pose. However, as I dropped down and as my fist came up, I uppercutted myself in the nose and caused a monstrous nosebleed on stage.

I got my ears pierced without, aftercare instructions. A few hours later I took a shower and removed the earrings before hopping in.

A few months ago my new roommates moved into my house with me.

A day or two after they all moved in, during which time I'd spent most hours of my day in bed ill as hell, I was forced out of bed by the front doorbell ringing and nobody else being home.

I opened the front door and all I saw in my ill, confused state was a girl I'd never seen before. I was kind of out of it, so I just told her I wasn't buying anything and closed the door on her.

She knocked again and I got angry, yelling at her that I wasn't going to buy her cheap shit and telling her to go fuck herself and leave me the hell alone...


...the girl was my roommate. She'd just forgotten her keys.

 

[Korenith]

Tried taking my contacts out before bed for ages, until my eye was sore, then realised I'd already taken them out. How I didn't notice I could barely see I do not know....

On most games I keep a backup save, just in case.
I once had a character on Oblivion, a High-Elf swordmage, of whom I was rather fond.
While making saves for another character... well, you can imagine what happened.

Last week it was very icy in the mornings... I was walking to the bus stop with my friend in the morning and at one point there is a hill on this pathway. As we were walking back down it I just stopped walking and just let myself slide down... I didnt notice the puddle at the bottom where the ice had cracked -.- I couldn;t stop sliding and sorta waved my arms around before getting my feet wet. Sigh...

 

[Mr.Incognitus]

Mine was recent. Playing Red Dead redemption and the first horse I try to break is War. The damn thing kept bucking me off for about 15 minutes. Once I finally caught it I got knocked off by one of those zombies that are like Hunters from L4D

In real life, there's one that always sticks out in my mind. I was getting ready to leave for school, and I realized that I didn't have my backpack. I spent ages searching for it, and was almost late. Finally, I asked my mom if she knew where it was. She stood dumbfounded and said "Um... you're wearing it." I checked my back, and sure enough, I spent 15 minutes tearing up the house while wearing the damn thing. My mom gave me a lot of funny looks after that.

The first time I had swimming practise I was going to the showers. The shower at the pool are really cold before they've had time to run a little, so all the experienced swimmers turned on the showers and then put a hand in to check the temperature. I didn't.
Let's jst say screaming like a girl on the first day isn't a good way to make friends in the guys locker room...

 

[Nimcha]

lol. Nice. I never had this problem being able to pick locks......*ahem*
Also whats your avatar from?

I have no idea! I just found it randomly on my harddrive.

Well it is 7 levels of awesome. Reminds me of Orihime From Bleach.

Oh! It might be her, I've used pictures of her as avatars on other forums.

 

[VashtaNerada]

Heres a good one. I was playing Battlefield bad company two and I was in the UAV, while I was flying I saw an enemy just standing there, so I shot the rocket at him and saw the explosion, didnt get the kill, so I moved to the left a bit and saw him running out, so I started shooting the machine gun at him and he still wasnt dying! Then I started to think he was a hacker because he moved whenever I did and always avoided my shots. SO the next logical thing popped into my mind to kill any hacker. Suicide crash into him. So has im flying full speed to the ground im like like Dodge this! moments before the crash I realize its my shadow

Left 4 Dead at midnight, tired and freaking out. Burst into a room and shot up a chair for like a minute before I realized it wasn't a zombie.

Gamingwise I had a moment just today in Lost Planet 2. I threw a plasma grenade while crouching behind a waist high wall to catch my opponent off guard. I noticed something blue beside my character and realized, that's my grenade isn't it? I went into a roll but the reach of the plasma was too far, it incapacitated me. My opponent who I was sneaking up on turned around and saw me being electrocuted. Needless to say, it was Christmas for him!!

Realitywise, I attempted to hop over a less then a foot high chain in junior high. It hooked my foot, pulled my leg, sent me face first into the ground, and pulled my back, damaging it for more then a year! It was as lunch was over, so of course I was surrounded by people! Later that night, I was taken to the hospital as my friends came over to my house. They see my mom helping me walk to the car because my back can barely move without an intense amount of pain. I was near tears. I'll admit, I would have laughed, too!

1 forum fail. I once, due to major second language failure. said something along the lines of

"I tottally thrusted him" where I should have omitted that first 'h'

hillarity ensued

2 in game I did my fare share of tab target chain pulling in WoW. Spamming heals on myself, wondering why everyone was dying in 5 man. that kind of thing.

3 I once drove my bike into the back of a parked van on a straight road in shining weather. they spend some time picking small pieces of glass out of my hair and stupid head.
