A topic where we share stories of the various stupid mistakes we've made during our time in gaming outside of Touhou. I'll start with an example from today.

I was scrambling through the Code Geass game for a joke, and just got to Lelouch meeting C.C. for the first time after the Shinjuku (I think? I forget, I never actually watched Code Geass) incident. I got a set of four choices, all in Japanese, and having no idea what any of them meant I picked one at random.

Somehow, my choice convinced Lelouch to shoot himself. I accidentally convinced my protagonist to commit suicide.

I'm kinda hoping someone else has something that can top that. >_>

When I picked Cave Story back up, the first time I beat the Core I made sure to take Curly with me. I got to the cabin, got all the water out of her, and left. I saved later, completely forgetting I didn't bring her with me.

Ouch, that sucks.

One time when I was playing the Ancient Relic dungeon in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue, I was trying to do an escort mission, but I made the mistake of restarting in mid-dungeon (the game requires that you make a quicksave before entering), and when I restarted I lost ALL of the items I was carrying. I friggin' hate that game.

tl;dr: I'm bad at performing combos and memorizing things, and don't have much to say about my failures, because I reset the game in that case and my memory doesn't remember what happened back then..

I bought a licensed movie game.
Not any licensed movie game, but the Shrek licensed movie game.
'Nuff said.

When I played The Legend of Zelda: OoT I fell into the habit of randomly pressing Z no matter the game I was in. Time and time again this led to the deletion of my game on Banjo Kazooie.

For a relative of mine he went through this one painting in Super Mario 64. The name of the level escapes me but it was a winterworld with a large snowman who liked to blow you off the mountain, and a penguin to hide behind (or on top of). The other location of notice is a maze-like cube with a star inside it. Well, Mario gets blown off the mountain and his hat falls into the cube right next to the star. My cousin could never retrieve it.

*SPOILERS IF YOU EVER CARED ABOUT MYST*

So me and my sister ages ago actually challenged this game with minimal walkthrough use (we used it about three times the whole game I think). We gathered all the red pages, gave them to Sirius, and BAM, we lose. So instead of thinking "hey, maybe we should open that green book", we thought "NO! Let's go back through all the worlds and get THE BLUE PAGES INSTEAD! So hours later, we do that, give them to Achnar, and ZOMG WE LOSE AGAIN!

Even then, it took us one of those three walkthrough looks to realize LET'S OPEN THE BOOK BOTH OF THESE BACKSTABBING LUNATICS WARNED US NOT TO OPEN!

I forgot to save in Final Fantasy III and i had to start again which took about 1-2 hours

Drake's post made me replay Cave Story. I missed 5 times to jump on the exact spot to save Prof. Booster and get the Booster 2.0 later, and even after that, I missed the Cabin where you drain Curly 10 TIMES.

So yesterday as I was on the Blackwatch Completely Eliminate mission in Prototype, I totally got pissowned...

six helicopters somehow zoomed in on me as I attempted escape, it was all fine until I somehow reached a quarantine zone and there were HUNTERS everywhere, thinking I was bright, I decide to call the choppers over to shoot them.

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK i forgot I was the hunted list for Blackwatch, so they all fired at me, while Hunters kept me from landing, two seconds later, a strike team along with 4 Tanks entered the forte.

I knew I was doomed so I hi jack a tank for protection.

4 tries and I failed when a SMALL LITTLE SOLDIER SHOT ME WITH AN MP5 AS I GOT ROLLED UNDER A TANK!

In Way of The Samurai there is a mission where you have to take a baby out for a walk
And of course you get attacked. So you have to take the baby and run with it or fight the bad guys.
I dropped the baby on it's head and ran away. Made 80 yen.

I replayed Xenogears for the first time in like 6 or 7 years the other day. I lost the Aveh tournament for the first time ;_;

I was fighting one of the last few bosses in Final Fantasy X and used an Al Bhed Potion with Rikku right after everyone just got Zombied. Rikku had Alchemist as well.

Everyone died pretty quickly after that. <_<

MegaMan X Command Mission in the fight with Psyche. I used up everything I had on the first form, oblivious to the fact that he had a second form. By the time I had figured it out, I had used all of my hyper modes, most of my Energy Tanks, and had ran out of items.

Oops.

On top of that, it took me 3 tries to beat the second form (well, twice if you don't count this first one) after realizing the second time through that it's best to just guard until he opens up his weak spot.

Only one I can think of is a little incident in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. Made it to Palmacosta, forgot to save, and managed to completely miss the item shops. Went into the nearby ruins and got utterly decimated by Alice and her beasts.

I bought Super Paper Mario.

Also, literally every time I play Rainbow Road (MK:DD!! edition) qualifies as a disgrace to video gaming at large.

And then there's the time I walked into Kaguya (Hard) with six lives and three bombs in reserve as Marisa solo and beat her with no lives and no bombs in reserve. Up until then that was my best IN Hard run.
