Ever had your butt kicked so bad it went up around your ears and had to wear your buttocks as a hat in a certain video game?

This is the thread for telling those stories, general venting about bad gaming experiences, and plans for how to get them back. After all, Revenge is a dish best served AWESOMELY.

OK, so it's the first time I've ever played Halo. I had /NO CLUE/ what I was doing. I had never even /held/ an XBox controller before :^/

But anyway, we start the game, under many protests form me. "Hey guys, how do I mo-" And I'm dead. Next time I manage to move a couple step, but someone comes up behind me, sticks me with a plasma grenade, and runs off, leaving me incredibly bewildered as to how exactly I managed to die that time.

MANY DEATHS LATER, I managed to shoot something. Unfortunately, it was a wall. Alerting someone else right behind that wall that there was someone else there. They had a Spartan Laser. Can anyone say "Shoop da Whoop"?

That also happened to be the final time someone had to die to end the match. Or something, I have no idea how that game works...

But yeah. I managed to fire a single round the entire match. I think that this qualifies as a pretty flawless failure.

Let me tell you a funny video game story......

I was playing Halo with a couple of friends, it was a free-for-all match and I had sniper on me. I decided to seclude myself in an overwatch position, hoping to score as many kills as possible. However I knew that my location would be given away as well, and ultimately.....well, I assume you know what happened next. And the rest was history.....

P.S. Shoop da whoop!!!
