BS Video Game Experiences

[NFD]

I was playing Golden Sun, right before you fight the first boss, which is a tree spirit or something, I saved right before him, and Isaac and his friend were at really low health, but there was nothing I could do because to get to the boss you have to fall down a pit and the only way out is once you beat him.

Powerslide your face off. Seriously--N. Tropy is very fast. xD

Also, if I remember correctly, you could get 101% in CTR, so even with you getting 100%, you still wouldn't be finish until you do the re-race with Nitrous Oxide.

Multiple times have an enemy with a 5% chance to hit with a 1% chance deal critical damage both hit and crit twice or three times in a row.

Multiple times where I have a 99% chance to hit and a 30% chance to deal critical damage have I missed or crit once every 10 attacks.

This. I get RNG screwed all the time, although not to the degree that you have.

FE just begs to be throw out the window sometimes.

GT4 S-License (or whatever it was), my run was .001 longer than the required time.

playing halo in the high 40's intense matchmaking games when your sister decides to email 50+ pictures of her and her stupid friend making faces in Photo Booth which in turn causes you to lag out and lose your rank. love it

This happens to me in Trackmania (racing game) way too many times, in fullspeed maps. More often than not, I'd gently bump a wall or something, and I'd (a) go flying, have to restart, etc, or (b) lose a significant amount of speed, and not make the next jump/loop/whatever because fullspeed maps just love to be painfully precise, and I'd end up not being able to get a time in before the match time ends. D:

Another one I remember is how in Tetris Grandmaster, making just one mistake in 20G/death mode tends to snowball, leading to a slow, painful death. >_>

Anyways, it uses a Salac Berry (i think; it increases speed) and strokes my chomp, and I send out the charizard. It uses a hydro pump against it, and I'm thinking it can survive one...but it gets a critical.

~6HP away from getting 20BP, all lost...
Anyways, I'd figure I'd make this thread for all of us to vent on our horrible gaming experiences so...post your bs game stories here!

I once lost a PokeRadar chain at 39.

And I only needed 40 to get a shiny.
