In this thread: share your worst fails of your gaming history.

For me, in Fortune Street, the target amount on one of the boards was $15000. I finished with... $981. T_T
 
In every zelda carnation that has lava/quicksand, I tell myself every playthrough- "Jump where you need to, don't be stupid." I manage to fall in/get swallowed EVERY TIME I PLAY. Multiple times.

That and the numerous times I've fallen off of skyloft in Skyward Sword.

This.
 
Not a video game but I once played laser tag and most people ended up with a score of 400 ish, I had something closer to -1000.

But this was before we learned about negative numbers so everyone else thought I was really good.
 
Playing Return to Dreamland:

"Yay I'm almost done this level HOW THE HELL DID I MISS THE LEDGE"
"Well at least I won't screw up this WHAT AGAIN"
"Okay I have to do it this WHAT THE HELL THE SAME SPOT TOO"
 
My most recent adventure in Skyrim...

My checklist for what I've done for the Thieves Guild : (Note may be spoilers)

-Get arrested in every city... twice once for the initial theft, once to attempting to escape, once for attacking a chicken. Check
-Fall off a mountain while riding the horse you stole cause you freaked out when you heard a guard from Solitude when you're in Eastmarch. Check.
- Drown while trying not to drown. Check repeatedly.
-Sit in front of a statue of Nocturnal for almost two hours screaming "WHY YOU NO OPEN"... Check.
-Get killed by light and not be a vampire. Check.
-Fall down a hole. Check.
-Get killed by your companions. Check.
-Get trapped in said hole for an hour before realising all you had to do was look up. Check.
-Rage quit while trapped in said hole, turn on Oblivion, put difficulty on low, KILL EVERYONE EVERYWHERE CAUSE YOU CAN. Check.
-Get an arrow stuck in your head that won't go away. Check.
-Get glitched into secret entrance. Check.
-Throw fit because after all that you can't keep the Skeleton Key. Check.
-Spend almost four hours on final mission, alone, and then get to final cutscene, AND WTF WHEN DID YOU GET HERE???? Check.


FU Thieves Guild... NEVER. AGAIN.
 
Started kicking a beach ball in Dead Island for the heck of it. I somehow kick the beach ball into my head and I die.

On a similar vein, I take potatoes out of a cauldron in Skyrim. The cauldron flies at my head at lethal velocity.
 
Lost against the first battle I had with my rival in Pokemon Leafgreen. Don't know how, but I did. :(
 
So I'm playing Skyrim walking through to Winterhold to get (SPOILERS ATON) information about the Elder Scrolls and I see a dragon. It finds its way to me. I freaking run right into a giant, mammoth, bandits and stormcloaks.

:'C
 
*boots up a Mega Man game*

5 minutes later...

*turns off Wii/DS/completelylegalwaytoplaySNESgames and cries*

Why do I like you so much?

Also, the fact that, enviably, no matter how much I've played Pokémon, I will lose stupidly to one (and only one) Cool/Ace Trainer. Always.
 
found a pit of zombies the first time I used the shard of agony in kakariko village in Ocarina of Time 3D. :|
 
Once, I was playing Lego Star Wars (IV-VI) for PC and I kept sliding into one of those bottomless pits and I lost all my money. If I remember right, I was this close to getting True Jedi too.

Also once I was playing Battlefront 2 and I kept going out of bounds and dying.

And yesterday I was playing Minecraft and being VERY careful to not fall into lava and I fell in the lava and died. And I was like FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
 
Oh yeah, this too.

In Skyward Sword, I jumped off of my bird and dived down to a floating platform that was very far down. I was diving and going really fast, and I misjudged when to use my Sailcloth. End result- I didn't use it, hit the ground facefirst, and happened to die in the process.

I'm... I'm a horrible hero of time.
 
Was in Skyrim, was walking along minding my own business, when a dragon pops up and starts attacking me, epic fight starts mainly because I didn't have Dragonrend at that point, then another dragon pops up, this one had a name, so it was a lot stronger, then a sabrecat shows up... I manage to kill all three, only to be met by a random thief... who kills me.
 
My friend fell off of Skyloft when about to dive for the Wing Ceremony. She didn't know she had to dash, she fell and was rescued while everyone else merrily took off. I laughed for a long time.

This. Especially the chicken slaughter. :c
 
I had bounty on this small town for killing a chicken for fun in Skyrim.

Then I left the town and it said it was removed.

Then I said :D
