Whenever I play a FIrst-Person Shooter, I usually get killed by the very first enemy I meet. Then I stop making stupid mistakes.

I threw a grenade at my friend, bounced it off a wall and stuck it to myself in Halo 3... I sucked at that game at first...

I would say when I was killed on GoW at a Lan party. I know this makes me sound like I'm full of myself but playing with the people I play with I think you would understand.

I believe my first FPS experience. I had to tone it down to Easy, and even then, got my ass kicked. Several times.

Me and three others usually play Company of Heroes 2v2 every sunday or so at a local netcafé. It's usually me and a guy named Olav vs. the two others, which works quite well since were pretty equal and the outcome of a game is more or less allways open. A fact that was further cemented by last weeks match.

We played on a match with three bridges (I thnik it's Lyon or something) over a central river that devides the map. Me and Olav had control of the victorypoint on the main bridge, which couldn't be destroyed, and the one on our side of the river. The other two bridges were either mined or destroyed, and since I played british, and he played american, we held the other point on their side of the river thanks to a combo of paratroopers and artillery. All we needed to do was to sit back and wait for a victory on points. This is where i made what i think has to be classified as the dumbest thing i've ever done in a game. I thought: "hey. I'm gonna build some tanks, rebuild the bridge and make a surprise attack on their base". I don't know how i came up with the idea. The other two guys played Whermacht, and had been doing their usual tactic of building insane amounts of tanks (wich didn't help them since they couldn't cross the river. I had three Cromwells..

I start rebuilding the bridge, and after it's more than half done Olav starts shouting at me to stop doing that. I did, but we somehow managed to stop paying attention to the northeren bridge, untill we see about 18 or so tanks driving in a neat line all the way to Olavs base and onward to mine after tearing everything apart on the way, including my three Cromwells. We lost the match Despite them only having 100 or so VP's left.

I don't think Olav's ever gonna forgive me for that one

Playing Pokemon Diamond, I had my team of five wiped out by a single bidoof that was five levels lower than the weakest member of my team.

I had no idea that those bloody things had "Rollout"

The first Blunder I remember recieving to my chiester was when I went to friends house and played the Origninal Halo. It was'nt just the fact that I got my ass plasma-ed by Elites, but what really got to me was the fact that the controlls were inverted which threw of my aim and speed to get to cover before getting blasted out of existence. My friend however kicked ass, took names, and made me look like a retarded hobbit in a wheelchair that was so numb he thought he was a quadropledjac(or however that word is spelled)

This is anyother reason games from Japan should be burned until it's proven non-gay or non- stupid(like Bleach, Naruto, and most Dragon Ball Z games)

That actually takes a lot of skill to do in the heat of the battle.

I guess I noticed that I sucked at racing games is when I showed my friend Flatout (my only racing game) and he got the gold cup everywhere in a matter of hours and I had been struggeling to get silver in the first couple races.

Many.
On Company of Heroes when I thought Panthers where invincable, until they got destroyed by Shermans.
On Battlefield 1942 when I just realize that I shot down a Spitfire and not an ME109.
And on a game called Tropico when I forgot I was holding elections and massacred half my population...I don't need to tell you that I lost the election.
Oh yeah and loosing to the Italians on Hearts of Iron 2.

Although Naruto needs to be boiled in wasp venom, for real...

Remember that single Goomba at the start of the first level in most Super Mario games?

No, I didn't die by that little monster's.... Feet.

But whenever I play anything splitscreen, I spend the first half an hour or so looking at the wrong screen and believing my controller is messed up.

Quake 4. I beat the final boss and skilfully fell into the gap in floor that opens up after the fight. I didn't save after I killed the boss because I didn't expect it to happen.

Drove off a cliff thinking it wasn't a cliff.
Fired a rocket into the back of my friends head. Thought he was on the opposing team.... However it took out three other dudes.

In the Far Cry games for the consoles you had the ability to throw rocks in multiplayer. The rocks did no damage and were completely useless. Unfortunately the rocks count as a secondary grenade and I always seemed to have them equipped at the wrong time.

I was playing City of Heroes as a scrapper, went after a 'buff/debuff tree' planted by a Devouring Earth opponent, ended up pulling another mob or two down on the team resulting is a team wipe out.

In retrospect, the tree was far enough away from the mobs we were fighting that it wasn't buffing them at all, wasn't debuffing us at all, and these buffs were no big deal anyway.

Procedure would have been to eliminate the group we were fighting before engaging a new group, and I screwed that up.

Playing TF2, I thought Demoman sticky bombs were proximity mines.

Still playing TF2, I thought spy sappers were meant to be deployed as claymores on the wall.

In portal, I carried a chair from one part of the level to the other and used it as a stool, when I apparently should have used a sentry's rocket to blow open a tube and use the resulting cube as such. Whoops.

Ah! That reminds me: Sticking a grenade on anyone in GOW is utter suicide, it's almost impossible to tag them and not be killed by the blast yourself.

In Call of Duty 4, for some reason I seem addicted to throwing grenades everywhere. And more than once, mind you, I either ran far enough to where i threw it or the grenade bounced off a FREAKIN SATILITE DISH and landed infront of me killing myself.

Happend atleast once every time i got online.

Every time I blow my self up with my own grenade. (I don't think there's a FPS I played where I didn't do that.)

Every time I drive/run/jump off a cliff because I think there's something down there. (Once again I don't think there's a game I played where I haven't done that.)

Call of Duty RPG's with Sonic boom as a primary weapon. Was bloody fun but practically mandatory to die on the second rpg, to get another 2 on respawn. Stupid, but again, I can't stress how FUN! Although probably doesn't count as a blunder, as it was intentional...
Biggest blunder... Voting yes for a 20 player harcore map on Shipment. Was awful and a half.

Not my most embarrassing moment, but fresh in my mind sense I just did it yesterday.

Was playing GTA4 and had to steal a truck from a warehouse that was filled with guys trying to kill me. So I think, "hey I'll just throw a grenade in kill them all at once" *throws grenade* *watches it roll under the truck I needed to steal* *watches the truck explode in a huge fireball killing everyone myself included* *facepalm*

Pressing 'lie down' instead of 'jump'. I'm sure you can assume what happened,

I remember trying to throw a nade out of the garage steps in Source, miscalculated it bounced of the door trim hit me in the head, and when i tried to retreat my team mates blocked my way...killed myself and 2 others.

I tried to throw a plasma grenade out of a building in Halo, same deal, difference was it stuck to my mates head, who decided to kamikaze me.

Cheers

Dude, that's not bad. That part is annoying. You also have to figure out which part of the tube needs to get hit. That part had me stuck for awhile.

I did the exact same thing, but with a large pile of chairs. Pardon me Valve for not intuitively realising I had to blow up things that had up to this point been completely indestructible.

Flying the Seaplane in Vice city on PC. It took me 6 months to figure out i used the number pad to control the plane.

Playing Harvest Moon, throwing vegetables into the dog house thinking it was the delivery box.

And I wondered why I wasn't making any money.

I did not know you had to do that until this very moment.
I did the chair thing all 4 times I played through the game.
