Favorite videogame moments!

My favorite moment was when I was playing Halo with a friend and I was jumping out of my vehicle, ready to blow him to pieces. I went flying off the hill and jumped out, rocket launcher in hand, and started firing. He ran into his base.... Then, I wondered where my car went, and I looked up saw it stuck in a tree! I shot it a couple of times to see if I could move it out. As I laughed, my friend said "LOOK!" I looked up, and the car was falling, and then crushed me.



To this day, I have never had an experience like that again. <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />

    I've had some great Halo moments too. It's always fun to sneak up behind your teammate and kill him by hitting him with your gun. I've also managed to get TWO Ghosts (those little purple Covenant scout hovercrafts) stuck in one of the trees. And my brother and I also managed to get all four Ghosts and both Warthogs onto the top of one of the bases. We tried to drive a Scorpion Tank on top of the base, but it didn't work. It's possible but it takes some skill.



    I have seen a number of Halo movies where people will kill a guy over and over again to create a pile of grenades, then drive a Warthog over the grenades and create a huge explosion by hitting it with a plasma grenade, triggering all the fallen grenades. The only problem is that my brother and I haven't figured this one out. Somehow, we just can't get all those grenades to detonate. Know how to do this?

    for me, it was playing a 4-way game of Jet Force Jemini on my friend's N64...me, a complete console game luser up against three people who were complete pros at Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. I played the dog character and completely wiped the floor with them all. I've almost never laughed so hard in my life as when I racked up kill after kill against these guys.

    DOOM.



    Another great moment was in an obscure game called Tecmo's Deception. You were a ghost haunting a castle, a role reversal.



    Anyway, on one level a husband and a wife enter your castle to steal enough gold to buy their daughter a trip to the doctor for a life saving treatment. When you defeat the parents though, there's a cut scene of the poor little girl back home calling out "Mommy? Daddy?" and you just know they're never coming home to save her.



    It was perhaps the most perverted thing I've ever seen in a videogame. Absolutely hilarious.

    Too many Techmo Bowl/Madden/NCAA football moments to mention. My friends and I used to get INTENSE-trash talk, stupid bets where the loser has to do something humiliating, the whole thing. To this day there's a hole in my basement wall from a guy on the wrong end of a last second comeback!

    Back in the 1980's, playing what I swear had to have been the game Castlevania on the original Nintendo home system with my friends Dale and Daryl, with their Mom sitting in a lazy-boy watching us play. We all had our own specialties and spent an entire rainy Saturday afternoon taking turns playing through the whole game to the very end.



    Good times.

    And on one last note-popping in GTA Vice City, jacking a car and hearing "Video Killed the Radio Star"



    Sweeeet!

    king's quest (4?) with the stupid ass owl. there's a part where you have a chance to save his life. i thought i'd be funny just to let him die. turns out if you do don't save him you CAN'T WIN. and the game laughs at you for not saving the owl, some kind of "how stupid can you be to think you could just let him die back there and still win"

    Playing with Rx-7's in racing games and yelling at the screen because the developers got it wrong. . . They got it right in Gran Turismo, and that's probably why its cost in that game is so inflated.

    Beating Chrono Trigger for the nth time.



    Then theres the hours of Super Smash Brothers (on the N64 of course). My friends and I used to go so far as to putting money on the games. Then making bets on the matches, and making fun of whoever was the easy characters (Samaus, Pikachu, etc). Man, we really need to get a life. <img src="graemlins/cancer.gif" border="0" alt="[cancer]" />

    My mate told me to stand on a barrel in Quake 2.



    Then he shot the barrel.

    Defeating Ganon in The (original) Legend of Zelda.



    Kids these days don't know what it is to play a *challenging* video game. Tsk, tsk. Games like Ocarina of Time are so freakin easy.

    Getting to 247 lines in Tetris on my GameBoy while growing a tail on the throne.



    Original Tetris on the first GameBoy.



    Yeah, it's a bit old, but it still passes the time while I'm passing my supper.

    I was at a LAN party about 18 months ago and we were playing Starcraft with 8 people on 3 teams. I was on the team of 2, and we were getting our asses thouroughly kicked. My teammate (who was playing as Terrans) had a 1 in a million trick up his sleeve.



    His only undamaged building was a barracks, which he had snuck into the side of someone's base. He had been building marines for a few minutes and hiding them in a corner. When every other building of his was destroyed, he got all of the marines to attack the center of the base.



    Sure, we still lost, but it was the funniest damn thing I ever saw when that guy saw 5 dozen marines belonging to someone he had assumed was dead suddenly appear out of nowhere in the middle of his base and destroy all of his probes.



    It was beautiful.

    lol same thing happened to me once in a game of SC, only i had a machine shop left. i built a shit load of tanks, then sieged them all, and flew my shop over his base. 20 tanks opened fire at once. totally wiped that sucker out before i got mauled.



    it's a one trick pony unfortunately.

    Back in college the guys next to me had a N64 hooked up to their stereo.

    They turned the stero ALL the way up and shot off the shotgon in Bond.

    One of the loudest noises I have ever heard....

    Half a dozen doors open with ashen faced people looking out with an "Oh my lord, what just happened!" look on their face.

    Also, pretty much any of my many drunken Mario Kart binges. Let me tell you, nothing gets the foul language flowing like four drunk people playing Mario Kart.

    "Hah, I just fvcked you in the ass with a green turtle shell!"

    I recall one part of Max Payne that took me probably a dozen or more tries to complete - it was in a big parking garage. I had to go around a corner, kill five guys, heal myself slightly with one painkiller before killing four more guys. This without being able to take more than one hit and without running out of ammo on my Ingrams.



    It was pretty schweet.
