Okay, Escapist. Let's hear some of the FML's you've experienced in videogames. Or FML's you think your favorite videogame characters would have. Go!

Ehhhhh, the worst i can think of off the top of my head are the times i die or crash in an RPG and realize the last time i saved was 5 hours ago. Or i did save, but the save file is corrupted.

FML stands for 'Fuck My Life'. Generally people say it when something bad happens in their life (or in videogames in this case)

Similar to the second post; my memory card getting erased and having to go from the end of disc 3 all the way back to outside Midgar in disc 1 of FF7.

1. Find an awesome TF2 server.
2. Play for some time, have fun.
3. Suddenly get owned every second by this random guy.
4. Discover that the server has a premium option.
5. *Remove from favorite server list*

"FML..."

Today, I realised that I'd rather have romanced the Mako than anyone/thing else in Mass Effect 1. This is not an insult to the Mako. FML

I hate that so much, especially the ones that let engineers fly and have 3+ turrets.
Its just not cricket :mad:

Anyway, for me it generally occurs in X-com, when the guy i have entrusted with the autocannon reaction fires, automatic rate, into a wall with explosive ammo and wipes out half my squad.

Or muton alien bases, where i get wiped by a blaster launcher on turn 2.

X-Com is full of FML moments. That's why its so good :D

Usually in space sims, or RTSs like tiberian sun or something similar, with no autosave, and ridiculously long missions or chains of missions. If you fail, and don't save, you're returned to the beginning of everything. FML

Playing Soraka in league of legends (a healer/support) I misclicked and threw a team fight by healing a minion instead of our carry, FML. Luckily it was just a troll game with friends so I didn't get flamed for it.

Pretty much every time I died in Demon's Souls or Super Meat Boy.

Particularly in Demon's Souls, when in my attempts to dodge black phantom Ostrava, I rolled right off a cliff to my death.

You just got [new, powerful equipment that you don't know how to use]!

TRIAL BY FIRE TIME! SINK OR SWIM - DO A HARD THING WITH IT OR NEVER PASS THIS POINT.

:mad:

Oh, and another one...

"Oh, there's the final boss! Okay, I can do this, I-... and there's his health bar. Not too bad, I can stil- oh, there's the other one. And another one. And... WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN-"

*smash'd*
