In Prince of Persia: the Two Thrones. THE FUCKING WELL OF ANCESTORS. It's the only part of any game ever that I literally cannot get past. I've tried dozens of times and have made it within sight of the ending, but can never finish it. I eventually just gave up.

Mass Effect 2 insanity. If anyone can beat that with no deaths, I salute them.
I mean, I still let myself die, but I'll salute any no death insanitiy-ers.
Took me 6 (restarting the game over) tries and 65 hours (on my final playthrough) to do it, but I just beat it not 5 days ago. Krogans and Harbingers are just......brutal. Oh, and none of my teammates died on the final mission. Needless to say, I'm pretty proud of myself right now.
I...
Uh...
Um...
Wow. Congratulations, I mean, geez, that's crazy. My good sir, I salute you.

Quick question, what class were you playing?

Soldier, I can't imagine doing it as any other class. Honestly, Soldier is OP as hell and so much fun. Adreneline rush saved my ass so many times I don't even want to think about it...

Of course, since im a Masochist I'm going to try to match it while playing as a Vanguard (IMO the worst class for an insanity playthrough). Which I seriously doubt will happen anytime soon.

That would be surviving Left 4 Dead 1 on our very special custom difficulty, just under where the game engine itself cannot take the stress of all the zombies on screen and just lags monkeyballs.

And I personally play waaay too much Minesweeper.

Oh, and I don't get the reference! =P
It's mobydick... I've never read it, seen a film adaption, seen a copy of the film or book (if there is a film adaption) or taken an intrest towards attempting to find a copy to read. The captain spends so much time trying to hunt mobydick, the whale that crippeled him, that he misses opertunities to catch other whales and become rich.

sometimes out of pure randomness I get a friend and play the halo campaign on legendary. It's not hard, but its pretty fun

Well, good luck. I'm doing an Infiltrator insanity run right now, and I can't even get to Okeer.
I'm going to hate hate HATE Horizon.

Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels gave some problems for a while. But a nice afternoon with some friends cheering me/laughing at me solved that.

The combat trials in Mass Effect 1. Those things were BRUTAL.

That, or getting Endurance in Halo:ODST

"To the last, I grapple with thee...
From Hell's heart, I stab at thee!"

Few words of wisdom, when fighting the merc leader to get Grunt, kill Krogans, pray the mech stays hidden. When fighting Harbingers, kill the minions then the Harbinger, Harbinger has a nasty habit of...ASSUMING CONTROL..... of the low life minions, so take them out quickly. Oh and on Horizon, don't use cover for Scions and Husks, stay mobile and try to keep your teammates alive for the Praetorian, if you get its attention they will do wonders for you.

That's all I've got at the moment. PM me sometime if you are having issues anywhere.

I beat the collector ship both times without dying, but there's no way I'd try the entire game.

On topic: My obsession came way back when I tried to beat Lou in Guitar Hero 3 on Expert. It's not that I'm not good enough (I am) but dammit I never ever ever got any decent powerups to use against him in like 50 straight attempts. Each time I would get a few minutes into the song and he would break my whammy bar or something right in the middle of a difficult run. It was a complete annoyance, a stupid design choice, and the beginning of the end of the GH franchise (in my mind anyway).
