What Trap Gets You...EVERY SINGLE TIME?!

[HassEsser]

Those invisible fucking mines Half-Life. Or those damn ninja-midjet-chicks.

Speaking of which, those ninja-midjet-chicks are completely random and out of place. Anyone else with me?

Bear traps because i never look out for them

Except I can't stop teabagging them.

Teabagging a bear trap sounds like a great way to lose your organ.
Ot: i get stuck in places where it seems like it should be impossible to move foward, when really, there's a simple solution that I'm not thinking about. Like the giant-piston room in portal. I died like 10 times in there screaming "what the hell! i can't put a portal up there". the solution "go higher up you moron"

the one which you cant see because of crappy lighting

everything's going well then *boom* roof collapse

Apples.

IWBTG players know what I mean.

This and spikes. THEY FALL UP! *breaks in to tears*

IWTBTG has only added to my fear of spikes in videogames. Megaman started it and playing IWTBTG and IWTBTF made me fear intant death spikes.

They're really more like giant cherries...

Funny everyone mentions Dragon Age. I've never had a big problem with the majority of traps in that game, but then again as a rogue you ought to spot them first. There was one trap in particular my cunning rogue senses could not protect me from though, it's in The Pearl.

That's one fucking huge trap.

I wouldn't be surprised if it even caused me several injuries.

 

[shotgunbob]

Technically not a trap but in Versus mode in L4D2 I always seem to run into Boomers in obvious places

 

[Khornefire]

Do you know those "valve chambers" where you have to memorize the sequence in which steam/electrical charges/other bs is released? I'm really, really bad at that. I have to take as many health packs as I can, or if those don't exist in the game, hope for a stroke of luck.

There are a lot of terrible traps in this thread. I think as you all deserve a reward for dodging them thus far.

Anything in IWBTG, really. But those goddamn things...

OT: Missile expansion packs in an otherwise empty room in Cave Story. "Nothing here, ooh look! A treasure chest!" "You got 5 more missiles!" *A boss appears out of nowhere* "OH SHIT!"

Every time...

Heheh both of these. And insta-kill spikes in most games. And mimics. But really with the mimics, I always guess if a chest could be a mimic, and if I forget to do so...guess what happens next.

 

[Life_Is_A_Mess]

The wire traps... OH, THE WIRE TRAPS!!!
...so thin and sneaky...
Also, a trap that surprises me.
These launch me in a state of panic, leading me to jump, falling into a pit/another trap/enemy/monster/bomb/obstacle/etc...

 

[TheDoctor455]

I'm just gonna say tomb of horrors and leave it at that

(shivers)
The few characters that I made and survived that hell-hole still have nightmares about that place.

Hmm...
I also tend to fall for the "Elric of Melnibone" or "Stormbringer" trap... just read the books and you'll get it.

LOL! Got me with that one! ^^

Spoiler: This one

But in all seriousness, timed jumping puzzles are thing that I normally hate. It can often be hard to see where your character is going to land, which results in SPLAT! INSTA-DEATH.

Why did people ever think Bridget was actually female? Nothing about his face looks feminine!

 

[Colonel Alzheimer's]

In Fallout 3 when you step on a button and a FUCKING SHOTGUN SHOOTS YOU IN THE FACE.
The first time that happened I literally jumped out of my seat.
Also in Fallout 3, those baby carriages that are actually bombs. That is some scary shit.

 

[Tanfastic]

While running then you run into the string that blows up the rest of the room. D:

 

[black orchid1]

dragon age BEAR TRAPS!!! they dont kill...they dont hurt.....they just hold you in place so the dozen of archers waiting in cover can shoot you

Well, that's one of his manlier pictures.
Just a tick, lemnme see...

There we are. I'll admit, I should have put more effort into my first search.
