Title says it all...

Mine was definitely the first time I played Twilight Princess on the Wii. I got the system the week after it came out (thank you Gamestop and my awesome ex manager) and had a bunch of friends over to try it out. Now over the years, I'd gotten into the habit of throwing my controller when I got angry. With a wrist strap attached, this didn't work so well. Upon doing this, the Wii-mote jumps back off of my lap and pegs me in the eye, giving me a BEAUTIFUL black eye. My friends STILL make fun of me for it.

Any random moment in my youth wherein I stuck my foot in my mouth, by that I mean said something retarded.

Once I went paintballing and was shot in the eye (I wore a mask but when I rolled down a hill trying to get to a better spot I knocked my goggles off....because the goggles, they do nothing)
I still have that eye thankfully.

Except for the pretty usual "jump at not-that-shocking-moments in scary games" i've luckily very few "embarrasing" moments in gaming (although Rock Band may very well change that)

...Then again, a week ago i played GTA 4 Online, drove head-on into another player and fired an endless barrage of machine pistol fire only to realise that the other guy was in my team :X

Thank goodness I've changed my angry Wii reactions, or I'd have plenty more embarrassing moments. I did scream bloody murder playing Fatal Frame once and made my boyfriend sit with me when I played from then on out. With the lights on. That game spooks the hell out of me o.0

Falling for the kindergarden trick: "come on! There is candy in the trunk of the old car!" Yup, I was locked in there for half an hour.

Only learning the other day that I can turn the Xbox on with the silver button in the center of the controller. After thinking "They should make a button that turns this damn machine on from across the room" for a few weeks.

As a little kid, telling my older brother I had a crush on the princess in supermario 2 (what can i say, she was very graceful when she floated). He would tease me bout that for years.

Rock Band: I have a nasty habit of missing the end notes when we do 'big finish'es on Rock Band. This is especially embarrassing, as I only ever play RB with the best players I know, in their front rooms, and I usually opt for Hard, instead of Expert (as the rest of 'em do).

Not so embarrasing, but funny i guess (not for me, tho):
Pokemon Emerald, Chansey(me) vs Steelix. Minimize all been used up, seismic toss used up, refresh used up, toxic ineffective against steel type. Steelix missed everything thanx to minimize. It basically came to this:
Struggle
Struggle
Struggle
Struggle
..and i lost :(

I was playing gears with a friend and laughing at him picking up a sniper. But then with his first shot he hit me in the eye.

I was playing Halo 3 multiplayer and there was this guy crouched in a doorway. I wasn't doing so well and was frustrated so I boomed at him; "Move!", not realising that my microphone was on. He just slowly turned round to look at me and backed away. I then tried to pretend that I was having a go at somebody in the way of my TV. Needless to say I didn't say anything else throughout the rest of the game afterwards.

My sister probably had hers playing GHIII. Going Co-Op, I chose to be the lead for once. She assumed, having never been bass, that her notes now came down on the right. After 25 seconds of '3s & 7s' she said "It's funny: Even when I'm bass, I get the first notes!". Then I explained to her that she had made a tiny bit of a mistake.

Playing first level of Halo 2, for probably like the 10th-20th time, co-op round a friends; the very first attack, I rushed in to try and just butt everyone to death, got hit in the back by an elite, died...that was such a lame moment for me

Also in CoD2, near when I started playing on multiplayer, ran up behind a sniper, was trying (and failing...don't ask how) to butt him, he turned round and killed me. My mate was just like 'why didn't you shoot him!'. I still ask myself that same thing :(

On CoD4, I stabbed to early when I was running up behind a sniper and hit a wall, making a very audible *crunch* noise. He turned around and, scopeless, headshotted me.

On Mario Kart Wii, my friend kept on saying that baby peach always wins. So i'm getting angry when my friend keeps beating me and he says "I win again!"

then i say, "Why? Because you're fucking baby peach?!?!" as you can see, the wording did not come out right.

We laughed our asses of that day.

This has got to be my most embarassing moment in CoD4.

Me and my clan were playing Team Hardcore on Vacant. Near the end of a game most of my teamates were dead and waiting to respawn, in the meantime they were watching me get a triple kill with my G3.

I activated my UAV and could see that someone was coming towards one of the windows to climb inside. He threw a grenade through the window, i dodged it. Then he threw a flashbang, it soared across the room and hit me square in the face and killed me.... my entire clan was laughing at me.

On almost all multiplayer games, I am jinxed.
For example, in Project Powder, a snowboarding game, I pwn'd majorly in my very first run with a six-second lead.
For the next 30 runs, I got fifth place at best.

Passed out during a heavy session on Dance Dance Revolution. With about thirty people watching.

Turned out I had a mild heart attack, because I woke up in hospital and they told me i did =/

Having a friend repeatedly shoot me with the stun gun in Turok 2 multiplayer.

A dancing, electrocuted Pur'lin is as funny as it sounds.

Bloody annoying though seeing as I couldn't shoot him for it.

I had a dream a while ago that I was playing GHII, Mother, on expert. It's a fairly easy song, with some complicated solos that make 100%ing hard. I dream that I'm playing through, hitting every note, but on the final solo, I break my streak at the beginning and continue to miss every single note. I even tried mashing, but I couldn't hit anything.

Even though it wasn't real, I still feel ashamed of myself...

The thread's gaming, but that's funny nonetheless.

RE4, when the flaming zombie jumps from the incinerator (Wait...incenorator? incinerator? in$cq#ut&?) That was the one night I didn't have my game guide with me. A couple of friends were over, and I basically shat a brick.

Saying, "Watch this." To my gunner.
Then flying into the other gunship. The other friendly gunship.

It's spelt in$cq#ut&+/.

On a crowded train, I finally beat my high score of 311,000 on the Mario64 DS minigame (you know, the one where you have the slingshot and you have to fire a rock to destroy the parachuting Bob-ombs before they hit the ground?) and I stood up, punched the air and shouted:

"F*** Yes!" Everyone looked at me, there was silence in the area, and I changed carriages.

My worst was playing Counter Strike when I was still a complete newbie (still am I guess cos I quickly got bored of the game). Anyways I'm playing and doing okay and it comes down to me as an counter terrorist vs 2 terrorists guarding the bomb. I figure I'm screwed but try anyway. Peek round a corner and headshot the first guy, then the second guy moves from behind a crate and boom, headshot number two.

I bask in the glory of my double headshot for a second then head for the bomb... only to realise I had no idea how to deactivate it as I hadn't bothered to learn the controls beyond point and shoot. After 10 seconds of fiddling BOOM, Terrorists win. My team were not impressed.

Any time where I figure out a relatively complex puzzle, but get stuck because I'm not observant enough to see a ladder or switch. I'm almost always pulling this off at least once for every game I own.

At Otakon 2004, I decided it'd be cool to participate in a Soul Caliber II tournament. I got slammed by some kid probably half my age. Two perfect victories against me. I hung my head in shame and walked away, refusing to tell my friends how it went.

In tribes vengeance I was standing on top of a hill near my flag trying to snipe enemy flag runners as they came in. Suddenly there is an explosion and the game cuts to the rag doll death cam. I notice just inches behind where my head used to be was the barrel of an enemy tank. Some guy snuck up on me in a tank and shot me point blanked me with the main cannon. Even worse was the face I was standing next to my base. I should have heard my team mates shooting at the tank or the creak of the treads. Call me Captain Oblivious.
