Ugh, that reminds me... getting you're licenses on Gran Turismo. Especially trying to get everything gold for the bonus car.

Putting in a performance like you never did before, and aren't likely to repeat anytime soon, but coming in 0.001 second late.

Ah yes, the Gran Turismo license tests... There has been many times that I've become frustrated with those tests. You go a fraction faster through a corner and the car gets just enough on the grass. FAIL, and that annoying music plays.

And that Trial Mountain license test with the Nissan Skyline has to be the most frustrating license test of all.

Sometimes I feel like if that annoying anti-spin driving aid could be turned off for license tests, then I could probably set a better time. It only slows you down and creates massive understeer.

Aye, I remember that one well, cost me literally days to pass.

When I started over later and had to get all the licenses again, it suddenly was a piece of cake, but the first time while still learning was pita.

The Carentan mission in the first Brothers in Arms game...remember? I wish I could forget...

When, in SH5, I order a crash dive to 70 metres and the boat goes to 328 metres.

LOL, my favorite is when you try to level off, and your sub thinks it is tied to someone the mafia clipped and goes to the bottom.

SH3-4-5 all gave me one of those, but I suck so it could be me.

I accelerate and even blow tanks, yet I sink like a brick.

I figured out why it happens though.

Xenonauts

Had my first terror mission and uh.. well it could've gone a bit better.

The first 4-5 turns went ok, secured the area around the Chinook and killed few
aliens in the process. Started to move down the street with two 4-man teams,
seemed clear to me. I continue on, checking every corner as I go...
except for one, which I forgot.

I end the turn and, as they say, **** hit the fan. Turns out there were 2 Androns
behind the corner I failed to check. And a third one came into view from front
left. Long story short: 4 turns later, out of the 8 soldiers + the Ferret AC, only
one was alive. All because of a small mistake I made.

And I loved it!
