"You're screwed" moments

[StormShaun]

Halo: Reach.

I was in a game of Infection or whatever.

I was last stander, I was in a little defendable area and killing all the zombies. I keep shooting to the left since my radar says they keep coming from there. I turn to the right, I see a flying zombie. I mutter the f word to myself and then I die, but I still have a HUUUUUUGE grin.

I hated the end but I loved the moment.

- The last part of the Hades level in God of War I. When you realize you have to climb a tower with spinning blades...need I say more?

- The Loom chamber in God of War II, without a maxed-out health/mana bar on normal or higher difficulty level. I had to restart so many times that I after 2 days of constant failure had no choice but to go for the easy-mode.

- Every boss battle in the Seraphic Gate in Valkyrie Profile Lenneth. All of them are relentlessly hard, have über high stats, extremely high health, does amazingly much damage. The ones I hate the most must be Bloodbane, Gabriel Celeste, Iseria Queen and the Four Hamsters of Doom.

- Fallout New Vegas: Dead Wind Cave.
- Killed most of other deathclaws with cunning use of stealthboys, mines, and an AMR I saved up for.
- Prepare elaborate trap for legendary deathclaw involving at least 14 plasma mines. and a timed bomb.
- Set off bait explosion.
- Other deathclaw in the same room runs out first and sets off almost all the traps.
- Ornery legendary deathclaw runs out afterward, perfectly healthy...

Every time I was playing cod4 multi player and heard the click of the claymore half a second before it blows. Any multi player when you run into the entire enemy team or if they somehow are organized into a driving force and you're team is still tarding about.

Dark souls trying to back up and estus flask as they come rushing towards you most recently smough with the bathtub sized hammer electric hammer (a pity because one hit would have killed him - single player). Being grabbed by an ent, gaping dragon or jumping on by harpies. Being thrown/ knocked around by the iron golem and on two separate occasions Capra demon. Wish that game would stop wasting my bloody time and reveal the story it lacks and hides behind clunky controls bullshit instant kills and various other flavors of bullshit.

Playing Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, everything is going good. Some missions have been difficult and annoying sure, but nothing I couldn't handle with some patience and a calm attitude as I approached them. I reach the second to last level, the pirate themed 'Dead Men Tell no Tales'. This level has been plenty fun, I got to play a game of trashtalk with an old pirate. I got to hijack a pirateship for my own, I got to take to the seas where I could gleefully raid other ships for their loot. I begin to tackle to missions on the map.

-Hunted for treasure on an island. Check.
-Fought a deep sea monster that tried to drag my ship into the depths of the ocean. Check.

Oh here is a mission called Deep Sea Danger, I wonder what this is about? Cool first person swimming with a harpoon gun! Fun!

Wait... Whats that? Was that a shark? I mean I saw them hanging in the pirates bay with huge ass teeth with gore crusted on them but I thought that was for decoration! Well hopefully I just have to avoid them. Got the blast collars, had to swim like crazy a couple times from a shark but I've been able to keep my cool. Caught those little fish. Easy enough, those guys were out of sight of the sharks. Hopefully thats the end- WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO HUNT HAMMERHEAD SHARKS?!

I decided to take a shot at one, the very second it hits that thing whirls around and flies at me at mach 10 with it's jaws gnashing somehow with a fully rendered look of ferocity in it's eyes and all I can let out is a pathetic little 'Ahhhhhh...'

Screw you Bentley. SCREW. YOU.

So this morning, I was playing Legend of Grimrock. I finished level five, and I descend the stairs to level 6. In front of me is a doorway into an open space, and a switch on the floor immediately in front of the doorway.

Now, they already pulled this on me, so I know what's going on. You step on the switch, the door closes behind you, and some monsters appear and kill you. I check to see if I can trigger the switch with some rocks. Nope.

So I save my game and step on it, prepared to kite around whatever appears. The door shuts behind me, and three giant spiders teleport in and pin me to the wall. Now, this is not the end of the world. Spiders are a pain in the ass, especially when they're hitting your back row characters, but they were introduced in level 3 and I've gained some power since then. The plan is still the same (kite them), I just have to kill one before I can do it.

So I kill one.

And that's when the ogre walked around the corner and smashed me into the wall.

Skyrim.

I am fighting a dragon, when he suddenly lands on a giants camp. After I kill it, I realize I ended up far too close to the camp and trying to absorb its soul makes the giants and mammoths attack me.

Also, once I was fighting a dragon in the mountains, when I discovered that I was close to a dragon priest tomb. During the fight, I somehow trigger him to wake up, so now both of them attack me at the same time...

 

[fish iron4]

Any Mount and blade, If you riding a horse and someone manages to kill it there's a good 75% chance that your gonna end up surrounded by 5 different people all at once, I swear to go every time my horse dies suddenly people just magically appear to finish me off...

That ringing that comes up the moment you realize a Care Package in MW3 Multiplayer is actually a decoy bomb.
I hate it when that happens.

That is true any time you hear the activation of an explosive.

Was playing the Halo Reach campaign on legendary with a few friends earlier and we were on The Package level. We had just gone throught the part where you have to make it past two Scarabs on a mongoose. I had moved far enough forward to activate the wraith so that it started shooting and said "Well this could end badly." Not two seconds later one of my friends pulls up near to me in a mongoose and gets nailed by a wraith mortar. Things like this seem to happen quite often when I say things like that.

[Colodomoko]

I was playing Fallout: New Vegas today and found myself in a bathroom stall in NCR Ranger Station Charlie with 4 Deathclaws right outside who had just killed the only NCR guy there.

Let's just say trying to sneak through Primm Pass at level 1 wasn't my best idea ever.

 

[Da Orky Man]

You know how the Director is L4D2 is supposed to bring out the horde when you have health and ammo galore, then give you a quick respite when low to keep you alive as long as possible, prolonging your torment? Well, the Director in my game apparently missed the seminar on 'When to give health' and instead went twice to 'fuck their shit up'. Really, many are the times our party is low on everything, we fight off one massive horde, then land slap-bang in the middle of another.

Every time I here that sound come from behind me the only thing that goes through my mind is "SHIIIIT!"

 

[Muspelheim]

Skyrim, just jogging about at level 7 in peace... Oh, what's that I spy at the horizon? Looks like a dragon wall...
I approach, but it seems nobody is home, and I can't hear any dragons about, either. I approach, and notice a sarcophagus by the foot of the wall, and expect a boss-level Draugr. But no biggie, I've killed them before, and I've got plenty of room to kite him.

Lid bursts open, Dragon Priest arrives, hovers at me and shoots ice shards at me. Suppose I should have made him breakfast. I realise after about three seconds he's not exactly my size... So I decide to attempt to wittle down his health, hiding behind rocks and slowly but surely kill him. Hey, worth a shot.
I'm nearly dead, hiding behind a rock with a chunk of ice sticking through my chest, rethinking my strategy and deciding to leg it. But as I prepare to break and run, with Mr Grumpy hovering up behind the rock, I hear a dragon.
"Aaaah, piss."
Of course it lands right on my escape route, of course it's a bit too much for me, and of course Hovercorpse has found me.
When I ran away with Hovercorpse & AttentionDragon on my back, an assassin feels left out and joins the fray, which then suddenly involves a poor huntsman and his horse. I ended up a Khajiit-flavoured icecream on the ground while the rest of the gang duked it out over my reload-screen.

Had one of them waiting inside my house once, just chilling out in my lounge. I have no idea how he got there, but he was -very- happy to see me...

He managed to blow me up, blow up my TNT-block I carelessly left in the basement, which in turn caused a magma-based chain reaction that started a forest fire. He blew me up, blew my house up, set fire to the ruins and burned down the entire forest around for miles. I'm convinced I met the devil when I came home that day...

 

[TechnoRaven]

It was in assassins creed 2.

Being turned into a pin cushion on the rooftops, i fell off right into the middle of a guard patrol. I killed one of them WHILE being shot by archers WHILE his 3 buddy's were whacking me.

I grabbed one and chucked him into a scaffolding, insta-killing him and collapsing it down, with a archer on top of it. The archer flew off and landed on a smaller roof, sliding down it and landing on the other side of the street, which i couldn't see. 6 seconds later, a patrol + 3 guardsman + a Templar rounded the corner.

A couple minutes of running trough the city with benny hill playing later, the Templar finally offed me with his sword. After that point, i never threw anybody into a scaffolding again.

EDIT: Any dwarf fortress run. ANY.

 

[marobidoux]

Demon's Souls, World 5-2, which is a giant poisonous swamp where you can't run or dodge, but the ennemies can move freely. I looked far ahead and saw what seemed like a group of normal trolls armed with clubs, so I decided I would lure them out one by one with arrows. These weren't normal trolls. They were GIANT ones and they came rushing all at once. With no possibility of outrunning or dodging them, I just dropped the controller and shouted "Argh come on!" as they turned my character into puree.

fighting berserkers in gears 3. alone. and only have ammo left for a pistol.
No god can save you now, boy.

 

[Moriim]

Playing Spy on any CTF map in TF2. You're almost always suspicious looking so you anticipate death pretty much all the time, and the worst part is is that you can't show it or else you will die. It's like...a self fulfilling prophecy or something.

More recently, champions on Hell mode in Diablo 3. Mortar spamming, Vampiric, Invincible minions, Shielding champion. Always tons of fun as a Demon Hunter.

So, so true.

Had one of them waiting inside my house once, just chilling out in my lounge. I have no idea how he got there, but he was -very- happy to see me...

Just today I had not one, not two, but three creepers waiting right out side the door of one of the little safe houses I've built and there were at least four more within a thirty block radius of the house. I made it out alive, but if that doesn't make "fuck me" go though your mind not much else will.

Also, working underwater in Minecraft and realizing your air is low and frantically trying to swim up only to be pushed right back down. The bullshit thing is that this happened at least three times to me today and at least of those times I was within a block or so of the surface. I can feel the rage rising just thinking about it.
