StarCraft: Walking my squad into a spider mine because I thought it was a pick-up item.
Metal Gear Solid: Test-firing a new gun about 10 feet away from two enemy soldiers, who, by the way, were blocking off both escape routes.
Halo: While everyone else was out fragging, still trying to figure out how to aim my goddamn gun.
Quake II: Jumping into an elevator well, just to see if I could. And not being able to jump out again. And getting crushed by the elevator.
Looking back at this list, I’ve realised I just suck at any game involving a military :smack:
Heh. “n00b moments.” The first time I ever played Doom (way back when) my path was blocked by a 55-gallon drum, so I kicked it. And died. :smack:
Some time later I was playing a deathmatch at a LAN party. Forgetting my harsh earlier lesson, I took cover behind a line of those drums… :smack: :smack:
Ah, good ol’ explosives. I remember a similar situation in Quake II, with an enemy approaching but a couple of explosive barrels between him and me. “I’ll just shoot the barrels and blow him up,” I thought. “FlyingRamenMonster, you’re a genius!” I probably shouldn’t have been standing directly behind them, though :o
