Red faction guerilla! for pc.
it lags,windows live likes to shit all over it, salvage is annoying to gather, its 3rd person on pc, and unlike the other red factions or good games,you can only have 3 guns, and a sledgehammer.
EDIT: oh and it lags...WHEN CHANGING WEAPONS

Pure Platinum running Bayonetta on Non Stop Infinite Climax. I don't even know why I want to do it... I just... want it, and so far it has caused many a "RAAAAAAAAAGE!" moment. However, my stubbornness has kept me from just walking away from it for a while. I just keep coming back begging for more until I get it.

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.
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.
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.
Thanks. The invisibility ability is going to save my life a few times as well, most probably, but I'll keep this stuff in mind when I get to it.

Mother******* ETERNAL POISON.
As I once described it to my friend "I'm 2 hours in and I've already messed up getting the good ending for one of the routes. Oh, I need to get all 4 good endings to unlock the fifth route to actualy beat the game."

Did I mention the punishing difficulty?

It's the only game I'll NEVER be able to beat EVER.

Myst 4: revelation. That damn one puzzle where I had to get those monkey things to scare away a predator.

I beat Myst I-III without ever consulting a guide, and I'm proud of it. For this puzzle? I printed the fucking guide, had it next to the screen and after trying for hours, still couldn't get the timing right.

What kind of an idiot puts timing in a Myst game? If I had any kind of dexterity, reaction speed, hand-eye coordination or sense of timing, I'd play shooters, dammit!

Beating World of Warcraft. No savings, no deaths.
Good luck to you on that.

My gaming white whale is Morrowind, I can't finish it but everytime I loose my sanity and install it, I try so desperetly hard.
You can't finish it, it's completely free roaming, unlike fallout 3 where it ends at the...end.

This one section in Viewtiful Joe where you had to fight five bosses in a row without saving. Even when I got close to the end of that section, I kept having to stop playing for some reason and then start over when I got back. Witholding save points is not okay. That, and the one challenge from Smash Bros Melee where you fight Mewtwo, Ganondorf, and Giga Bowser all at once. I probably would have beat it by now if I had more motivation then unlocking godamn Final Destination.

Dracula on I Wanna Be The Guy

I had gone on the Right-hand path (where you have to dodge the falling moon) and had beaten Mecha Birdo (which was no mean feat, especially considering I've never played any game from that era (not even Megaman!))

Dracula took me two days, and on the first, I was screaming and literally smashing the keyboard with my angry, achey fists.

After I beat him, I stopped playing the game. It was funny, but far too stressful for me, and I think that beating Dracula, especially considering I've never played any of those platformer games from the _-bit eras, was my proudest moment of gamer "cred"

I've never had a gaming white whale; I always lose intrest within a week. Goodness I'm a terrible excuse for a gamer. I wish I could enjoy torturing myself with games...
Keep at it kiddo, you'll get there eventually. =)

Getting 10 nukes, I know it's not hard for most of you guys but I shoot like a cripple with hands made of rusty knives. (In which case I shouldn't really need to shoot)

EDIT: Screw that I just got 3 today.

Left 4 Dead 1 Expert. I only have Blood Harvest to go!
hahahahaha.


have fun with the finale. That was one of the most terrible experiences of my life.

OT The hotel chased in Dark Corners of the Earth. I was only 12 or something, but that sudden difficulty spike was enough to make me quit. I'm still bitter
