In KOTOR 1, immediately following the Big Plot Twist, I found out that I had activated the infamous "Stealth Field Glich" and now Carth was frozen in place, and my game was fuckin' done for, 20+ Hours and I had to start all over. Very frustrating.

When I was playing Metroid Prime 2 I was about to fight the last boss so I went to save and just as I was about start playing again the freaken power went out. When the power came back on the file was currupted and I had to start again. Like 20 hours of work lost.....

In Mass Effect, there are vehicle sections. Sometimes, you have to fight a giant "Sand Worm" called a Thresher Maw. It's attacks are a bunch of short range attacks and spitting acid at you, and when you go to far from it, it goes underground and resurfaces closer to you. Problem is, Bioware didn't equip their AI with the ability to tell where you are when their underground, so they'll sometimes pop up under you, killing you instantly, and since it's not an official attack, there is no warning and a very slim chance of escaping. The only thing you can do is keep driving and pray.

I've been warned to quiet down when taking penalties in sports games because I've been so animated and screaming about them.

Arrg, I was playing Psychonauts the other day and the platforming section on the last level is absolutely horrible. After I'd finally got to a checkpoint that I desperately needed, I came to another ridiculous section that cost me a few lives before I was inexplicably sent back to the checkpoint before and I had to do that immoral part again and again and eventually the part after that which was almost as bad.

Same thing happened to me with LoZ: OoT. Some furious masturbation was the only thing that could calm me down after that.

Any game with horrible checkpoints and no quick save option. Yeah, those PISS me off. *Phew* Got through that long wave of enemies. WHAT ONES STILL ALIVE?! *boom* im dead. I'm sure it would just start me from....no....*shuts off game and walks away never to play it again*

THIS. Halo pissed me off so bad with that shit.

Also, the game save bug near the end of Metroid Prime 2 that caused you to lose all progress.

Oh, AND this time in Team Fortress 2 when I came across a Sniper who was apparently wearing backstab resistant armour. 5 flawless infiltrations, all failed because my knife bounced off his back without doing damage. I nearly broke my keyboard.

A few years of Super Smash Bros Melee data randomly decided to become corrupted and dissapear.

Overwhelmingly frusterating, start over again...

After I finally finish unlocking every trophy and character and blahblahblah, it corrupts AGAIN.

Haven't played it since. <_<

Destroying a Strider in the end of HL2: Ep2 only to get killed by its Hunter. It feels so satisfying to run over one of those things with your car. I'm usually a peaceful person, but once they fire those flechettes, and they hit your car...

I am just going to say this phrase. "WC3 on hard during the final Night Elf mission" If you know what I am talking about than you know how hard that is. I actually managed to break my keyboard three times because I got angry enough where I threw it at the wall.

I'm quite calm when I play games. I'm normally laughing in 2142 at this situation:
My clan-mates and I are dominating a server. Then one man joins the other team and we need to stop eating and playing at the same time (figuratively speaking).
So the other guys in my squad start ranting their heads off. It's SO funny.

Where to start.....

"Kill, kill, KILL!!!!!!"...... Ten points to whomever calls out that reference first.

Chaos in Dawn of War? Those guys freak me out BTW.
On the subject of DoW, in Dark Crusade, Necrons. I DESPISE. In the Global Conquest (trying it on Normal *muscles*) I charge madly at the Necron base second turn after taking the chunk of land right next to me.
DICK MOVE.
I got base-raped within two minutes. Never trying THAT again. *loses muscles, goes back to easy*

Whilst slamming the horrid decision making on the dev's part, C&C3 Kanes Wrath. If you know what I'm talking about in the way of Conquest you should be shaking in rage. The STUPID Nod are SO F***ING OVERPOWERED. Me trying out GDI-with bots on Easy and personality on Turtle-I'm already being tanked on the tenth turn by umpteen million Nod everythingannoyingandeasilypsammable. Dropped that game within seconds. Also, the ONE Sabotuer thing. Yeah. Burn under my Devastators cleansing plasma disc launchers you hacking pricks. (Proud ruler of the world as Scrin, ;) )

Anyway, I think I'm fine for now. WAIT--Battlewalkers in 2142.
Yeah, I'm good.

The only thing you can do is keep driving and pray.

Honestly, I've heard massive amounts of people whine because of the Thresher Maw. I've goon through the game twice, for the different reactions and endings, and gone a bit in on a third run. I got to level 49 on my first run, so the second was just to reach level 60 quick, for the "Elite Gamer" at level 50, and "Hardcore Gamer" at level 60, or whatever the archievements are called.

Not once have I been bothered by the Thresher Maw, I've fought it loads of times, as you can deduce from the fact that I got to level 49 on my first run (I went to every single explorable planet in the game) - I died once that I can recall, and that wasn't from it spawning underneath me. It has been mightily close many times, where I was saved by moving constantly, but that is part of the game, isn't it?

When you fight a Thresher Maw, when it's surfaced - obviously, you move around because it is hella deadly, so the minute it uses "dig", you stop moving. "System Failure, Sir! When we cannot see the monster, we cannot move, we are powered only by the risc of death" ???

How is "You have to move around constantly" something to whine about? The monster is several stories tall, and can already kill you in one hit when you get close, so why the hell are you standing still?

Does it really anger you? Whenever I felt frustrated while grinding on WOW, I just popped to the nearest big city, and entered battleground.

If you're not referring to WOW, I have no say on the matter, as the only MMO's I've played is WOW, alongside DAOC (Dark Ages of Camelot).

The fact that Spore will have an install limit of 3 times, regardless of whether you uninstall it from a previous place.

Playing all the way through Super Ghouls N' Ghosts only to discover you had to play the game twice to beat it. Oh, those mean old school games.

By the way, the reference is from "Alice's Restaurant" by Arlo Guthrie. Good music.

Okay, my #1 pet peeve in gaming is this. You know when you play a racing game where all the bots have the same position in the race from start to finish in every race in the tournament or whatever. It means that the only variable in the race is you. Every bot has a preassigned spot in the race which means if you don't get first, then the same guy will get it every time and beat you, so the game forces you to win every race if you plan on winning the tournament. It pisses me off to no end because in real life you could win second in every race and still might come out on top, but lazy programmers just randomly assign everyone there own spot, forcing you to win every race.

How about in racing games where the only possible way to win is if you don't make a single mistake? Because you know, you KNOW that as soon as you see the finish line on the final lap... you will nudge a crumpled newspaper and go hurling through the air and watch all other races zoom past you to take the win.

And yes, they do in fact 'cheat' to catch up if you are winning too much.

Play the original Everquest and you will know the rage. If you played DAoC you should be familiar with the phrase "TRAIN!!" Everquest was the worst at punishing players for dying.

After getting through Mile High Club on veteran, finding out the hard way that I couldn't shoot the terrorist in the leg to get him to drop the hostage, then shoot him in the head, like I had done in every single other difficulty.

Lets see:
Call of Duty 4: Martyrdom
Star Ocean Till the end of time: Well, basically anything that involves Solo character challenge, and universe/4d mode.
KoToR2: The complete lack of an interesting story...not really that important, but much anger.

There is much more, I just cannot currently remember due to such massive rage.
