My team was being ANNIHILATED in Bad Company 2 (Atacama Desert is the one with the ship in the middle, right?) and I was in a series of death streaks so I decided that at my team's main base, I would use an Anti-Aircraft gun to blow a chopper away. The minigun spun up, then, a Russian T-90 MBT drives in front of me. Panicked, I start firing at the rear side of the beast, knowing it wouldn't work.
The tank goes on and I think to myself, "Thank God he didn't notice me" as he rounded a corner. Then, he pops back from around the corner doing a double take, and blows me up. And then I lost the match.

Bugger, I'm down to half a heart of health. I'd best go punch some pigs. Now where's the nearest-

Mirror's Edge. Need I say more.
In all seriousness I really wanted to play this game and I really wanted to be good at it cos it looked so much fun... being unable to make simple looking jumps for no concevable reason was controller snappingly frustrating. Especially when the damn save points are miles apart and seem to move depending on when you loaded the game (I am not joking about this!).
It just made me want to go back to prince of persia sands of time. That game is so flipping awesome and proof that free running plateforming is fun and fantastic. And, the polar oposite of mirror's edge's. Oh well. Nice try DICE.

AvP - takes to long to find game lobby just to quit, Prototype - trying to find all the memories, Mount and Blade - you finally get a sizeable force to reek havoc on the lands and the game crashes, World of Warcraft - the constant changes between classes that seem to be accountablt only because of overbalancing, Puzzle Quest 1/2 - WHEN THE F!@#ING AI ENEMY GETS A BOARD CLEARING COMBO EVERY OTHER TURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah I have the perfect one while playing Dragon Age 2 I was going for the last achievement which was a simple one the one for getting max rivalry, so I thought I may as well get it on Anders the smug bastard. I get to the last mission where certain things happen... and how far away am I from full rivalry? 1 fucking point... -.- I remembered back in the beginning for talking with Merrill when she first used blood magic I got approval from Anders... I face palmed myself several times that day... -.-
Even worse is when it's off the highest point of the stands, not counting the towers, all the way onto the cement. Happened to me several times while I was desperately covering my team's exit on Expert. Admittedly, it was half-amusing to see such bad luck, half-angering to die like that.MasterSteef said:
Hmm, probably that time I was playing Gears 2 with a few mates (one of which was Dexter Manning, AKA one of the guys who makes Sanity Not Included, its a long story about how I got him on my friends list...)
Anyhow, Dex was fighting me and two others, and he just raped us completely solo despite the odds, that everyone was using shotguns, and that we were all pretty decent players ourselves.
Oh, and on a somewhat related note, a few weeks later (shortly before he removed me from his friends list due to me going on holiday) we were filming for Call of Dover (a CoD WaW machinima) and 2 of us were running in circles around Dex. Annoyed, he fired a single warning shot, which killed both of us, and one guy who was watching in the background. Lulz were had that day.

the 'if they came to hear me beg' acheivement in Halo:reach.
Specifically the times the assassination worked, but the game decided I was on the elite instead of behind it, and the two times the game did ninja iconed 1-hit beatdowns instead of the assassination and killed me into the bargain.

It didn't happen to me. In fact I caused the moment for someone else. One of those times where you go, "OHHHHHHHHHHH..... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YES! DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM? Sit down."
In Black Ops I was playing launch. Ground War, some mode I don't recall because I was in a blood soaked murder frenzy. Anyways I'm coming around the catwalk at the side of the map opposite the rocket pad. I turn the corner and some guy starts firing. I duck back around the corner, he unloads his whole FAMAS clip into the wall trying to kill me. He fails. With reflexes that made it look like it was on purpose, I turn the corner and toss a tomahawk directly into the center of his forehead.
Oddly this was a goal I was trying to achieve because a couple weeks prior I did the same thing and the video did not get saved. I was determined to plant axes in heads and this I did.

When you spend an hour trying to do some really hard puzzle in portal 2. Then later you see someone else do it in a much, much easier way.
Spiral Knights in a poison arena. Those who have played will know what I'm talking about.
So I'm fairly undergeared for the level and we're on our way to the final round, the one with pit spikes. Long story short, 3 people go down and I'm left to fight almost an entire wave of enemies with just 1 health bar. Through evasive maneuvers, constant weapon charging, and healer knockouts I manage to destroy the entire wave by myself. Thinking my victory complete, I kill the last monster.
Then spawns about 20 robots, 2 healers, and some mine-layers. I cry myself to sleep.
