Well I did this when I was very little (like 6 or something), so I don't remember it too well, but I was playing some game on my Playstation 1, just beat a boss that was a major pain in the ass, and then I yelled "woohoo" or something, and kicked the Playstation, accidentally of course, causing it to reboot itself.

Alien vs Predator (the first one). Playing as the Marine, it is dark and I have lowlight on. BTW it is the very very beginning of the game. My radar starts telling me that an alien is close. I can't see it and the radar is going balistic. All of a sudden this friggin alien jumps at me. I scream, the mouse goes one way and the keybaord the other.

I had to go buy a new mouse and I never got past stage 2. Damn that game scared me.

LOL LOL!!! That was me in Ravenholm.

same type of thing for me, Resident Evil when the dogs first jump out.

I did that exact thing in the Alien vs Predator 2 marine demo level. My radar was going crazy, but didn't see anything. Then one dropped down from the ceiling right on top of me.

Talking about jumping on your chair while playing a game...

Anyone remember the pink dog fucker thingy in Doom 1(the original) ? Or the first headcrabs jumping at you in Half-Life ? hmm... ?

When I first got my P100 I bought a game called US Navy Fighters. It was a lot of fun - except landing the damn plane on the carrier. There was nothing worse than flying a mission for an hour, taking no damage, and then killing yourself trying to land.

Luckily, the game had an easy way out. If you were within 5 nautical miles of the carrier you could hit a key, and it would end the mission without you needing to land. You didn't get top marks because you didn't land, but at least you didn't waste an hour of your time.

One day, I decided to play and try and land everytime. Surprisingly, I made it further in the game than I ever had. I'm flying a mission, and things go poorly. I was successful, but I took a whole pile of damage. According to damage reports I was losing fuel and hydraulic fluid, and I was over a hundred nautical miles from the carrier.

There was no way I was going to be able to land it. I was going to run out of fuel and hydraulic fluid long before I made it back to the carrier. It became my goal to get within 5 nots and take the easy way out.

I hit the afterburners and pulled back on the stick. I leveled off at 80,000 feet and left the afterburners running. Might as well burn the fuel than just leak it, eh? I ran out of hydraulic fluid first - controls went dead. I had no control of the plane at all. It just kept flying straight ahead (not too realistic). Then I ran out of fuel. It started looking like I was going to make it without losing my plane (you had a finite number of planes in the game).

Then I realized my mistake. 80,000 feet is higher than 5 nautical miles. Even without fuel I wasn't losing enough altitude. I was going to fly straight over the carrier, at too high an altitude to use my easy way out.

I ended up having to eject - and just to spite me, the game killed me in a random parachute accident.

OMG I loved that game! I started out with the old DOS Jet Fighter 2 game. That lead to more and other varied fighter jet sims.

Funny thing is I can land an F-14 on a carrier, at night, but never (not even once) land a 747 safely in MS' Flight Simulator.

LOL - I think that's the best one so far!!

Multiplayer Alien vs Predator at a friends house. His cousin only 12 at the tyme had nagged to come along for weeks. At night in a totally dark aprtment we played 8 Marines vs one Alien.

The Marines decided to stick together. The moved about searching and kept a tight ship. It was impossible to get to them. So I ran around killing all the lightsources I could. It got darker and darker.

For some reason the little cousin got separated from the group. One of the other players (on a beerbreak) plotted with me. Said and done, So I sneaked on the cousin, above him. Remember how you could Taunt? Thats hiss and growl for the Alien. I did that when I was just above him in the corner he had retreated to. He looked up and I jumped him. At the same tyme my plotting friend kicked the cousins chair. The poor kid screamed at the top of his lungs, fell out of the chair and hit the floor in fetal position. He cried and whimpered for half an hour. Then we let him play Alien for the rest of the night.
