Any moment in Mario Kart Wii where you've had an amazing run, you're butchering everyone and you're about to win and then bam, two blue shells, five red shells, a green shell and a star and your last. PARTICULARLY when you're on the last race of a ridiculously hard grand prix and have raced perfectly until then. GRR.
Or, when you're just about to reach a Poke centre after a tough gym battle and then...yep, Gary Motherfucking Oak. Also, just about any boss that kills when I've brought it down to its last percentage of health.CakeDragon said:
When someone gets away in League of Legends (does anyone actually play LoL here?) on less than 50hp. Or when you are trying to run away and you get killed when you think you are safe and sound.
This, then next game...Agerkvist said:

In addition to that it's probably whenever I find that I misjudged the amount of glass, coal, smooth-stone or other random material I need for a building project in MineCraft by one or two. It's just so annoying, especially if I then have to go like fifty blocks upwards and countless along just to get back to the surface.
In Oblivion, I was on a quest for the Mages Guild and I had to pose as a merchant to lure out a sorceress who was attacking travelers. So when she approached me on the trail and the other mages came out to attack, I got out my bow to help. Right as I fired my magic arrow to kill her one of the NPCs runs directly in front of me, absorbing the arrow and getting himself killed. I get blamed for it and I didn't find out I was kicked out of the mages guild until AFTER I had saved the game after the mission and went to get my reward. ARGH!!!

I agree, I almost think i would have preferred it if she did shoot you, would be a pretty ballsy ending and the way i felt during the ending meant it wouldn't have been taken badly. It'd be bloody memorable too. (moreso than the opera i think)
Pointlessly over-powered enemies. I've been replaying Fallout3 recently and I have forgotten just how much firepower some enemies take!
The Giant and Albinio radscorpions, Super Mutant Overlords and Feral Ghoul Reavers are the worst culprits. It's fine when you are outside and can use the FatMan at range but at other times you just might as well stuff a Nuka Grenade down your trousers and save them the effort...that or hotkey stimpacks and whack that key like you're playing Daley Thompson's Super Test! The only real defense is to hit them with the Dart Gun (except for the Radscorpions, of course) and run away, trailng a large amount of bottlecap mines!
That was one improvement that FNV had over F3 - enemies / creatures that had a more sensible number of hit-points but could still wreck your shit so it wasn't made too easy. This was a relief because, while in F3 I've been known to rack up over 70 mini-nukes without cheating, I've never found more than 5 in FNV!

When I was playing Left4Dead 2 for the first time.
I was at the very end of the game (I was playing the campaigns story-wise), and I was hanging off of a ledge. My AI companion was right next to me, shouting encouragement as I was skiffing from the side of the building wall, pulling myself us, as a Charger hit him and sent him flying off the roof.
Moral of the story: Never. Trust. Bots.

Mario Kart. Doesn't matter which one, just mario kart. Within spitting distance of the finish line in the lead, when you suddenly get hit with EVERY disabling attack in the freaking game one after another, dropping you down to last place.
F-U Blue shell.

Alan Wake, nightmare mode. Hoofing it to the nearest light safe haven, get in there with MINIMAL health only to have three rapidly-fading tomahawks thrown by the now incorporal baddies send me to the ground. Somehow it JUST overwhelmed the massive regen in light I suppose. Did make for a fun framing as I was in the DEAD center of the light. Pun unintended.
Actually, every time in that game you go toward a light and then it breaks/goes out is an "Oh come on now" moment in Nightmare haha.

I'd say in either Halo or Call of Duty when you solidly shoot the bejeezus out of someone and they just turn around and one-shot you.
Or when you're doing a Nuzlocke challenge, your Pokemon just evolves and is subsequently killed off in the following battle.

most recent one must be in Gears 3 beta, just as I run around corner with gnasher ready to shoot someone I run into another with gnasher, I fire first, but so does he at the same time and we end up headshotting each other xD
Or other time I was charging with retro lancer against one who had just fired his sawn-off, and that one has long reload time, and just as I'm about to make contact, reload is done and my body is small parts all over...great fun.....what I'm saying is I really enjoy the beta..:3

Anyone who plays Monster Hunter will understand the one word that causes my "Oh come on now" moments. Plesioth.
after the 85th time in Dead or Alive 4 that Bayman defeated me. No matter what character I use, he always beats me. I had less trouble fighting alpha-152 than I did with him.
