Funny part of the story. You know how some guards in towns will attack your target if your close. This is where I thought the npc was a player and trying to steal my kills. I didn't say some nice things. :eek:

HAHAHAHAHHA :) awesome! i kept on asking a npc where i could find stuff cause i thought it was a player and got mad that it wasn't answering me.
 
I got to level 17 in Skyrim before I knew I could sprint. The only reason I found out was because I watched a youtube video of some guy playing Skyrim, and his character sprinted.

This I can kind of forgive since Bethsoft used a non-standard default key mapping for sprint (Alt, which I sure as hell can't reach, instead of the defacto standard Shift key).
 
Played EQ for the first time and did not really get that it was a MMORPG, was impressed when I realized that the other characters running around were "real" people.
 
Im probably not the only one on this, but in BFBC2, you hop out of the tank as an engineer, to repair, thinking your repair tool is selected, and you instantly fire a rocket at the tank killing yourself.

EDIT: Above post reminded me... trying to find the pause button on EQ, an mmo lol.

Countless, countless suicides. I've bailed out of a heli in BC2 and had it land on top of me. I've thrown grenades that bound off things and kill me. I've forgot where my C4 was planted and detonated myself. Often i collapsed buildings on myself and teammates.



In BF3 i keep getting way to drunk and bailing out of choppers and forgetting gun=parachute hands=freefall. Splat, i have to have 200 deaths from this.


There are lots of ways to look like an idiot in the battlefield games, luckily the game is fast paced enough so nobody notices.




There was much more idiotic things in UO though. We found an exploit to mine gold and one time i had so much gold on me my guy could barely run and i decided to try and attack some fools roaming the landscape. I failed and watched as they literally thought they won the lottery when they opened up my backpack. Wish i had that recorded.
 
Lol at the 85 Pally who didn't use the trainer. Was he stacking spirit?

Dumb: I chose Alenko in the big decision. I didn't like Ashley, either, but Alenko is awful.

Also dumb: Back in the day, started WoW (BC era) and rolled a druid, wanted a Druid of the Claw. for some reason stacked talent points in Balance without Moonkin (too low lvl), ran BGs. This was before xp-off so real twinks were rampant and mixed with cannon fodder. I should have just been a mage or warlock (great then), although I did heal others when I could.

Played through the entire game DX HR using only the tranq rifle and a few random takedowns, hoping to get pacifist just for giggles, and then found out right before finishing that you couldnt kill anyone in the intro scene (that I read didn't count) FML. I could've used all those epic weapons I had upgraded the whole way through the game becuase, what else do you need an inventory for if using just the tranq?

Well, you were a pacifist even without the achievement.

So many times. I also have started out the round in BC2 as a medic, but in the middle of a round picked up an engi kit after I ran out of bullets. A teammate dies, so I automatically run over, bring out what I think are my paddles and hit fire and blow the crap out of myself.

Back in TBC I was 1850 or 1900 arena, and found out that I had somehow never gotten my highest lvl bubble. It always felt really short to me compared to everyone elses bubble...

And for the record, pally warrior was very much NOT fotm at the time. It was all about druid warrior. :)
 
Last weekend I was about 15 minutes into my attempt to knock a sword from an inaccessible ledge in Skyrim by shooting arrows at it, I could cause it to bounce around but never drop off. Kept thinking I just need to get the angle right.

Friend came over (who doesn't have Skyrim, but had watched while I did the greybeards quest earlier) and asked why I don't just use whirlwind to get onto the ledge.

Whirlwind onto the ledge... pick up the sword. Done in 10 seconds.
 
The dumbest thing I've done is play "Halo"... many brain cells committed suicide that day.
 
In arkahm city there were a ton of things I didn't realize you could do relating to riddler trophies. I didn't realize you could use explosive gel on the the question marks. I thought you had to have something on each switch, (didn't realize you could just move from switch to switch without hitting the ground), didn't realize you could glide off walls to activate a switch.

I didn't mind the original. Yes, it was derivative, but it was pretty fun, and had an amazing soundtrack to boot. And regardless of your opinion, it proved that the FPS genre had a place on consoles.

The game itself, for what it was, was fine and I thought it was executed well. Just absolutely no worthwhile reward... IME of course

Let me put it this way: It was dumb OF ME to expect anything, especially considering it was a console FPS. It taught me to be more careful what type of games I spend my time on.

At least I didn't pay money for the game or an xbox... always play a friends or rent first, I learned that in the NES days. This is why it amazes me when I see folks here get mad at buying games like Rage... that is some dumb shit I must say
 
Ok, I just had a major facepalm moment. So there's a Steam-exclusive achievement for Bastion involving Portal turrets (those white tripod robotic turrets from the two Valve games).

Well, I read the achievement description as "Defeat the required number of Turrets". So what I did was use the corresponding skill you're given to summon the Portal turrets. Then I tried to lure monsters behind the turrets to get them aggroed on the turrets to destroy them. Meanwhile I was tiptoeing around, trying to avoid the turret's laser beams. Well this went on for some time, but for some reason I wasn't getting the achievement completion.

So I went and re-read the description. It actually read "Defeat the required number of foes using a single Turret". As in, the turrets you summon are friendly (yes the floating heart icons over them should have been a clue), the laser beams don't harm you even if you stand in front of the turrets, and you're supposed to use the turrets to kill a certain number of monsters, not the other way around :rolleyes:.
 
Playing Onimusha on the Playstation 2 , You had to fight down through 50 floors of demons.

Took hours and hours to do it - The reward was a powerful sword.

It asks "Do you want to remove the sword from the ground?"

I answer "no" - Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
 
One time I joined a 3v3 multiplayer match in Command & Conquer Generals. (It was one of those player-made maps that disable rushing for the first 10 minutes or so.) I was building up my base, putting certain buildings in the back of of my area while gradually building gatling cannons and other defenses in the front, in preparation for when the water would go down and the no-rush grace period would end...

The water goes down, and the first opponent's vehicles appear in sight of my base... at the back. I suddenly realize with a shock that this whole time I had thought that I was at the bottom of the map whereas I was actually at the top. (Apparently I never checked my radar mini map either.) My base building had been entirely backward and my defenses were on the wrong side, basically facing the edge of the map. The side getting attacked was completely exposed.

I didn't even try to continue. As soon as I finished realizing what had happened, I immediately quit, strongly embarrassed. lol. I can only assume that my teammates lost.

We did some mean griefing in bf2. Buddy and I piloted fully loaded blackhawks off a carrier... And then rammed into walther headfirst. That got us both instabanned.

In WoW I corpse camped someone for 8 hours straight in stv.
 
One dumb thing I keep doing is that while planting the C4 I press the left mouse button and hence, destroy not only the tank but also my ass. That or after planting it I run backwards but not enough.

Annoyed to read "KickAssCop Suicide" or some crap like that. Pisses me off to no end.

+1

DX:HR -- the pacifist thing above. Also I kept trying to redo certain missions to get achievements, only I wouldn't get the achievement. Tried over and over again for 2 days straight, until finally I posted on a site and someone informed me it was a Steam bug....FML.

Sounds like something I would do with various games. Sometimes I'll just be in grinding mode and totally space out at the end lol.
 
Failed the no damage level in challenge of the titans in God of War II for about 8 hours total across two days. Went online and found a strategy. Beat it on the first try in under a minute with the highest possible rank. So annoying.
