What's the biggest thing you ever had spoiled?

[McElroy]

Not as much spoiled as simply realized that Star Wars trilogies end up with the good guys winning. That was years ago, though, nowadays I also know that the whole thing culminates in

Spoiler: a certain EU trilogy by Timothy Zahn

Thrawn losing the Noghris' loalty in the final moments.

Another big one was the final HP book:

Spoiler

Snape was a good guy all along!

When I was a wee lad, I was standing in line at the theater (and it was quite a line) to see The Empire Strikes Back. A guy walked out of the previous screening and said "Man, I can't believe Darth Vader is Luke's father!"

We all wanted to kill him. But no one wanted to give up their place in line.

Oh. Spoiler Alert.

 

[Bellvedere]

I spoil everything for myself on purpose. I read the last page of a book first (and generally a few pages ahead too), generally google a movie or TV show whilst I watch it. I read the Game of Thrones wiki pages about characters that seemed like they were going somewhere interesting before I finished the first season of the show. My way is more efficient. Who wants to invest x hours in something without knowing if the entire story is good or not?

 

[theevilgenius60]

Mine was the ending of Bioshock Infinite. Damn! I was pumped for that one. Unfortunately, a casual friend of mine worked at Irrational and couldn't just shut up. Still didn't deserve what happened to Irrational though. It ranks up there with 38 Studios being forced closed by a politician and Bulletstorm not getting a sequel in my "shittiest endings to great stories" list.

 

[ninja666]

About two years ago I told my buddy I was planning to finally start playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. Got the endings to all three games blurted out by him by accident during conversation about Shadow of Chernobyl.

 

[Someone Depressing]

One for Steven Universe.

Spoiler

Square Mom is actually Mom Squared.

X = Red Lesbian
Y = Blue Lesbian

Square Mom = Y+X + Homoeroticism to the extreme = This is Garnet, back toge- (punched in face by bara character)

The episode was still awesome, though. I'm pretty good at avoiding spoilers, though, so all I have is a recent one. I'll just sit here and wait until more traumatic memories start appearing.

Oh, right. Someone once spoiled My Immortal for me by telling me that when Snap killed Malfay he came back at a My Chemical Romance concert. Also, da Death Deelers (not the Death Eaters) are playing on the stage, and Voldymort gives Enoby a gun to... I can't remember. Something contrived and whiny.

...Sorry.

 

[The_Waspman]

It isn't really a plot spoiler, and this is beyond the ten year spoiler mark, but about three days before I went to see The Gift, I had it spoiled for me that Katie Holmes got topless...

 

[Fhqwhgod]

What's the biggest thing you ever had spoiled?

I really have no idea. Maybe the end of Lord Of The Rings before I started reading it. But just like today I didn't care back then. It's always about the journey for me and not about bits along the way or even the end being spoiled.

 

[Alma Mare]

I just finished Red Dead Redemption while having known for years how the last mission plays out. Definitely took the bite out of it.

 

[RagingTiger]

Biggest one for me was the ending to Final Fantasy X, I bought the remastered to finally play it and a guy from work saw it on my desk and started talking about the ending. HR still won't let me near him...

Yeah, when the ending was spoiled for me I put it down for good, just couldn't play it knowing the ending.

 

[hermes]

The ending of Sixth Sense, right before I saw the movie.

I was also spoiled the twist of Bioshock 1, but since there was a lot of time between the spoiler and me playing that game, I wasn't bothered by it.

 

[Random Gamer]

Had plenty of spoilers on books, movies and games.
Most twists from the end of A Game of Thrones to the end of A Storm of Swords, for instance - possibly the biggest books-related spoilers.
In games, KOTOR is probably the biggest one. Though you can see easily all the hints, this way.
Nowadays, I'm just glad the few times when I'm not spoiled about what's going to happen - for instance, I was quite glad watching Usual Suspects several years after release that I hadn't any serious clue about the ending.

When I was a wee lad, I was standing in line at the theater (and it was quite a line) to see The Empire Strikes Back. A guy walked out of the previous screening and said "Man, I can't believe Darth Vader is Luke's father!"

Plot twist:
That asshole was Homer Simpson

Tolstoy's Anna Karenina.

Old classic books are usually published with an introduction in the front, explaining the context of the book, maybe a bit about the author's life, detailing any quirks with the translation, that sort of thing.

Well, the introduction to my copy of Anna Karenina straight up fucking mentioned that...

Happens way too often with classics. Heck, happened to me just last year - forgot which book it was though, but the idiot writing the introduction basically described the whole plot, the twists, who dies and who lives...

 

[sageoftruth]

The most embarrassing example for me was after I saw "Beautiful Mind" and thoughtlessly blurted out to my friends that

Spoiler

The main character's friends were figments of his imagination

No amount of apologizing helped me save face after that.

 

[happyninja42]

I guess my two biggest spoils were the ending to Bioshock Infinite, and the ending to The Last of Us. Didn't really bug me all that much though, as I doubt having the ending spoiled would make me like BI anymore, 'cause I didn't like it very much. And the Last of Us, I knowingly went into the article that was discussing the morality of the final events, so it was an expected spoiler.

Beyond that....*shrugs* nah, can't think of anything.

 

[gnihton]

Who your character is and why they have no memories in Knights of the Old Republic, it was really stupid of me to spoil that for myself, I probably would've had my mind blown when it happened. I was still excited when it happened though.

Also, the System Shock 2 twist.

 

[happyninja42]

Yeah, when the ending was spoiled for me I put it down for good, just couldn't play it knowing the ending.

That one wasn't spoiled for me, the Red Dead Redemption ending, it was just telegraphed for miles. I knew about 1/4 through the game that it was going to end

Spoiler

with him dying in a blaze of glory kind of shootout. Because just...how else would it end? xD

capcha: Tight Lipped....yes, what we should all be when it comes to spoiling entertainment.

I get your point but considering that it's basically Grand Theft Horse I could totally see

Spoiler

the game ending with you shooting Ross and unlocking the outfit that lets you be invulnerable to law enforcement, turning the post-game into a huge sandbox for western silliness. In a way, it did exactly that, Jonh/Jack swapping aside. Going into it without expecting that bit would have given the scene a lot more impact.

Make no mistake, there are real-life Homer Simpsons in this world...

 

[CaitSeith]

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. In the Zero Punctuation episode, Yahtzee pretty much ruined my experience when I watched his review before playing the game. Since then, I don't watch ZP episodes for games I don't want to be spoiled.

 

[bartholen_v1legacy]

The twist in Bioshock, but I got spoiled about it at a point where I considered it rather unlikely I'd ever play it, so I wasn't really mad about it. I wish I could have experienced it completely blank though. I was sort of spoiled about

Spoiler: Here be Game of Thrones spoilers (last season though, so not really anything ruinous if you keep up with the show)

Tywin's death in a Youtube comment, but since I interpreted it wrong, I actually thought it was about the Red Wedding; I thought the Red Wedding was going to be Joffrey's wedding where he has Tywin killed. Since I got it all wrong, I got to experience both the Red Wedding and Joffrey and Tywin's deaths completely blank in the books.
