Probably in Zelda Spirit Tracks. The bit where you have to shout at the DS to get the guy to sell you something. Felt like a total tool doing that. Then the game rubs it in by saying shortly after if you just click your fingers then he gives the thing to you for free. But that's what I was supposed to do so I guess it doesn't count.
In Assassin's Creed Brotherhood I thought you had to sell the rare treasure things to the shop keeper in order for it to count towards collecting them all to unlock the awesome armour. Instead, I was just throwing them all away and pretty much denied myself the best armour in the game. Would have been helpful if the game told me I wasn't supposed to do that.

In GTA IV when doing a road race, I had a brain-fart and momentarily though I was playing Midnight Club: Los Angeles and pressed 'Y' to look behind me... but instead I commanded Niko to get out of the car at over 120mph.
Still, the workings of the Ephuroia engine were a joy to behold as rag-doll Niko bounced along the road, rear ended a slower moving car with his face, then got launched into the air and off the bridge by the racer in second place.

In Amnesia: the Dark Descent, I see the monster go down one so I go into a room and wait for him to go away. I think I'm really clever while still facing the door. Then I think "hey why is the music changing?". I turn around and nearly piss myself as I try to run away only to forget that the door that I just came through opens inwards and not outwards. I barely escape with any health and with crap in my bowels nearly escaping to my pants.
It turns out the way the monster went loops back around to the room I hid in and if I had just taken 2 seconds to check the room I would not have had to gotten up and personal with Mr. Smiley

hm -in medival (1) charged swiss armoured pikemen with knights (thought they are some fancy spearmen which will flee when flanked ^^ first encounter ) boy that was a lesson
-in older games forgot often to pick up keys and after many fights standing before a door i can`t open (was chating with a friend once as it happened shouted NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO he your game crashed? no forgot the key)
-and the classic save my process far to rarely and loose much process ^^

In Halo 3 ODST, I accidentally shot my Firefight partner from across the map attempting to snipe a Hunter. It turns out I only grazed it but it went through the back anyway and hit my partner IN THE FACE!
We couldn't stop watching the replay.

Oblivion, I was sneaking around an underground castle with my stealth character, I open a chest and find the mother of all spells for my character, a spell that delivered instant death from a single touch. Spent a good amount of time going around killing every enemy in sight *Tch* *Crushed by rocks and killed* Moral of the story... don't forget to fucking save.
At fable doesn't matter which one but mostly at fable 1, everytime when I got bored I picked a fight in any of the towns and then slaughter all the guards that tryed to kill me, it took em always so long to get me down (and then I started an old safe file and do it again) mwhahahahahahaha
I can't recall the sheer amount of times I've done this.Bob_Dobb said:
It's a similar story in both of the Arkham games
"I can just land one more hit, before that knife guy tries to- BASTARD!"
I don't play many games like this, so I wouldn't know if it's 'generic'.binnsyboy said:
The online PvP and co-op is interesting, when you can get it to work.
Class system only really determines how and what you start with.
Weapon variety is epic, the upgrade options are insane...
I can recommend it.
That's a tough one. I have a big history of in game stupidity.
In SR2 I've rode a flaming ATV into traffic with the intention of blowing it all up to get a big time bonus for the checkpoints
In every racing game I go the wrong way to cause big crashes.
In halo 2 on the heretic station I stop and mess around with the light conveyor belts, blocking them up with covenant gun racks and meleeing the explosive canister piles. I've even let the belts carry me to my death.
In soviet russia, a game played me.
In prototype I keep jumping off the empire state building.
In fight night round three I tried actually playing instead of just setting up more AI matches.
In far cry 2 I burn stuff for fun.
In bully: scholarship edition i've punched prefects and police officers and also shot them with the potato gun. I've even let myself get caught because the worst thing they can come up with is make me mow the lawn every three times I do it. Ooh, I'm sooooooooo scared.
In red dead redemption I've shot lawmen, nuns, and pretty much everyone in the head. Also I took on a bear with my knife. It was a bad day... for the bear.
In mass effect I've fought the thresher maw while being totally unaware of the mako's secondary explosive weapon. I gave it up for a year because of that.
In need for speed most wanted I've ran over spike strips.
In IL2 Sturmovik I've tried Ramming attacks.
In the MW2 demo I've shouted "Look a butterfly!" and jumped directly off that mountain cliff at the beginning shouting "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!".
Should I go on?

One other thing I've said when jumping off that cliff in the MW2 demo is "Enemy plane! Don't worry sir I'll catch it!"CulixCupric said:
In the mafia II demo I've intentionally rammed into police cars and then driven my car off the docks. Of course the police followed me right off. It's actually a good strategy if you don't mind having to get another car.
Piling all of my specialists into a shuttle and leaving the Normandy completely defenseless in Mass Effect 2. I don't know what the hell I was thinking agreeing to it... oh wait, Bioware's writers just suck.
They're still safe to charge if they're flanked or tied up fighting a column in a different direction. Just have to remember to disengage them immediately after so the enemy units don't turn around and put those pikes to use.kugelfaenger13 said:
I beat up the chickens in Ocarina of time then jumped down the well to escape them causing a never ending rain of chickens that stopped me from ever getting out of the well.. Stupid chickens
i got a new one! playing amnesia the dark descent, and having no tinder nor oil. complete darkness for 5 minutes, still haven't died, as they couldn't see me, but, as yahtzee put it, "Oh pissing blimey! There's jam coming out of the walls!" i was running from everything with near full insanity, screen shaking, pure darkness, seeing only an inch into the distance. playing this game at 2 am in a basement/dungeon with no lights on in bed, I'M AN IDIOT!
