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.

Ehr, society has degraded into a state where the people are kept "down" by very strict control, particularly on what they are told. Most people have just given up, but some still resist this regime-like state. Faith is a runner that carries messages as part of this resistance. Kinda like the resistance during WWII, but in a modern setting.

At least, that's what I make of it. The game BSODs on the exact same spot in the training area every time.

i've got to say i don't honestly get to many moment in games where i swear at the screen. perhaps whilst playing battlegrounds (hl2 mod) and getting shot in the face just as i'm about to capture the american flag...
when i fail tasks i mostly deflate and quitely say "*********ck....."
then try again.

the only time i scream and shout is when i finally sink a torp into that damned DD thats been pinging me and driving me crazy for the last 50 minutes!

When I set both engines of a DB7 on fire while he is still in grey circle range and he still glides in on fire and releases all bombs perfectly killing my bofors instead of bombing the AB!

I had shot down 9 EA up to that point in the mission.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

(oh, WWIIOnline by the way)

More computer related than gaming related, but it was still a FUU. I was writing on my old computer a few years ago, and Word kept telling me that the auto save did not work. So what, I thought with my mighty brain. Anyway, after at least 15 A4 pages and a full working day of writing the power cut out. I think they heard me scream on the North Pole.

no matter where i am, i am Melonfish any server any game. its a suprisingly little used handle

actually thinking about one the other night, Fallout 3 stuck in the middle of warrington underground (laughable as i'm actually living in Warrington) with bloody ghouls jumping out at me right left and centre, very little ammo, very little health. i practically get to the exit and get killed every single time....
GAH!

This is more of a stupid mistake on my part but anyways...

I was playing SHIII and had just narrowly escaped 2 destroyers and 3 or 4 swordfish, so I tell my navigator to return to course, not knowing that the course now took me right into an island. So the time acceleration slows to one, I have no idea why so I go up on deck and use binaculars and right in front of me about 200 feet away is land. Desperately trying to turn away I crash anyway.

And that ended the 29th patrol of my campaign, and my veteren crew.

The one that will forever haunt me, is the race in Grand theft Auto Vice City, to get the getaway driver. His car is better than yours, and the cops leave him alone. To make it worse, I've replayed Vice city several times.


Also, the carrier landing missions in FSX. I only got it right once.

Several levels in littlebigplanet.

There are many more, but I can't think of them at the moment.
