Had a few on multiplayer in recent days that made me think "What the fk are you doing you fking muppet"

Space Marines (awesome game btw biggrin ) : Was playing a multiplayer Exterminatus (I think it's similar to horde on GoW) and there were four of us fighting a few hundred orks. You have four team lives spare, so if you die you can respawn and use one of these lives..... one of the plebs decided he would use an assault marine with a jetpack and decided to jet his way into a hole four times (without even firing a shot at the enemy) resulting in no lives for the rest of us irked



Mass Effect 3 : Playing a gold level (quite tough), again there were four of us who were all experienced (or so I thought) and so three of us ran to a good defensive point on the map where we could engage the enemy in a crossfire...... chappy number 4 decided to play his own game leaving us one man down and he died within seconds of each new wave and called us all dicks for not backing him up, despite us begging him to join our position punch He then quit the game, not that it made much difference, telling us about how he was an experienced US Marine blah blah blah

punch




As for my personal facepalm moment, I managed to roll down into a pit of death when trying to evade gunfire on a versus game of Space Marine hehe The worst part was hearing my opponent laughing his ass off getmecoat

The number of times on Battlefield when I switch to "repair tool" but actually switch to RPG because the f****ng controls have switched from BF2 and then I "repair" the tank by blowing myself to smithereens.....

Or when instead of switching seats or whatever I eject by mistake......

Need for Speed, the first one.

Being new to computers, I knew drive was something inside a computer. So I spent ages working out how to start a race. Until I plucked up the courage to click 'drive'.

Not awful, but the easiest one to explain as it's on video.

I've also done a highly succesful grenade through window attack where the grenade bounces off the wall just above or below the window and comes back and sends me to hell!! (I may or may not have also done this just in time for 2-3 of my team to join me and get themselves killed)....

Facepalm pretty much any time I play any form of platform game. Much to Jinx's chagrin as he is usually playing Lego Star Wars with me when I throw all our studs down the nearest hole.

He has more than once asked "How, How can you be that bad" laughing much as I imagine someone about to be shipped off th the looney bin would laugh.

Hi My name is mark and I am the worst platform gamer in the world. that being said do you have any Idea how long it took to achieve this??

The facepalm came yet again when it sunk in how much of my life I had wasted trying to find the last red box!!!!!!!!!

Oh god, flashbacks. 30 laps on Suzuka, nearing the finish with a few seconds lead, decide to be a bit cocky and handbrake over the finish line backwards. Only to realise that it's infact lap 29. curse

Many times i have been playing as Assault on Battlefield and when i am having a lean spell i decide i will go sniper for a bit and change my profile, so at next death i will spawn in that guise.

I carry on in Assault and after a pretty good spell for me (about 15 mins as im terrible) i get killed. Respawn and decide to go back in to where i died as i can now see where the enemy is hiding. Get there and engage in a gun battle, only to realise i only have a sniper rifle and a pish poor pistol!

Fail. rolleyes

i did ring up to find there help lineclosed. after intensive swearing and rage i discovered i couldn't change it online either!

casually went on the playstation next day signed in perfectly! job done.

and the the suzuka comment. wow. and you still play GT5? last time i did something like that was toca race driver 3, did a complete australian supercars series on hardest level like 40 races, got to second to last one wrote the car off, so last race started dead last, and won the race, however because i failed to finish race before i was then 2nd in championship, and if he finished 10th or below i won.... i won he finished 9th. que never played it again.

I'm not saying anything about the time in COD4 we spawned at the start of a game and I immediately threw a grenade over a building to their spawn. Unfortunately, wind/gravity/throwing like a girl (delete as appropriate) made the grenade bounce off the roof, back into my hands and wiped me and 3 teammates out.... Got a lot of grief from that!!!
