I just love these kinds of topics, people always put funny stories here...

Post your weird/funny/cool/scary/WTF?-like/etc. video game (related) stories here, that's kind of a given...

As for me... nope, sorry. Drawing a blank. I might remember later, though.

Uh...I'll post one later. When I remember.

Stabbinator once did 1337 damage using Judgement on Tales of Symphonia. I linked to the topic he mentioned it at.

Oh yeah? I can beat that! Once, in SSBM, I got a character up to 1,337%!

...Wait...

On a more serious note, I was playing Gutsman's stage in MM1. Not pretty. Those lifts were absolute torture. Heck, there are several comics in BnG about T3H 3V1L L1F75. Which is why I went to Elecman's stage first and got the Magnet Beam. =)

Magnet Beam may be overpowered, but hey. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

My friend lost 100 pikmin to a....honeywisp....or some harmless creature, its been a while and I don't remember. But he was throwing pikmin at some harmless creature and he kept on throwing them over a wall and into water so he couldn't call them back. By the time he noticed they were drowing he had already thrown around 70. So he tries to call them back and it doesn't work because of the wall. So he runs around the side of the wall and tries to call them back. Stupidly, he left the last 30 pikmin with him. In the end, all of his pikmin died to a harmless creature.

>_< Ouch.

I have one...Pikmin 2...


OK. Bulblax Kingdom, one of the later sublevels. I tossed 5 reds(?) into a purple candypop bud, then left Olimar to watch them. Louie took the rest into a corner. I waited a couple of seconds to make sure that there were no traps there, then i switched to Olimar to pick the Purples. As I'm picking, my Pikmin count goes from 100 to about 50, so I'm like "WTS?" and I switch back, only to realize that the bomb rock had fallen AFTER I had switched captains >_<

Naturally, I reset, only to lose a purple to the a bomb rock. >_> I just went on with the cave.

Sure sounds bad...

I remember this one time where I had this weird Mario Kart DS related dream. I was playing in Shroom Ridge, and around the start, I drive on this... ridge (omglol) in a mountain, and it leads me to this secret place. The whole place just changed, but I think it resembled something out of SMB3. Chain Chomps and Pirhanna Plants were everywhere, but so were Item Boxes. The Super Mario Sunshine secret level music was playing. And in the same dream, I was playing in SNES Mario Circuit. The roads were all long and twisty, but there were short fences that you could hop over everywhere. The thing was that there was no map. Needless to say, I got lost.

Did I mention the time that I lost four races in a row on WiFi? (MK:DS)

Dalaw remembers that >_>

Hey, at least he told me about the shortcut he used <_<;

Er... no, I don't believe you did. Sucks, though.

But on what course did the shortcut take place in?

Oh, I see. That place is riddled with shortcuts.

As long as we're on the subject of MKDS, I once played against a friend. He snaked. I didn't know how to snake. I was not a happy camper.

There's a topic in Spam-a-Lot involving the race.

Speaking of which, I have a PM from Dalaw that was sent before the race. The subject of the PM was "Race. Now."

I replied to the PM (OK), and he replied (instructions on how to race WiFi against friends).

I just unlocked everything in Super Princess Peach. (I know this should've happened a long time ago, but I kinda just forgot about the game.) And let me tell you, doing that should generate a whole lot of stories.

Like in one of the extra levels in Bowser's Villa, the level was automatically scrolling to the right. I pretty much got myself down to one heart just trying to get to the other side. It was mostly the fault of anger and frustration, the level's actually easy. This game makes you get frustrated easily.

Now that I've unlocked everything, I get to play around with Endless Fever. It's really not that exciting though, especially after completeing everything...

I died at the first Goomba on New Super Mario Bros.

j/k

Anyways, when I was playing Metroid Prime, I was looking for 1 final expansion pack. I looked and looked and looked. I couldn't find it. Soon, I went to the place where Thardus was, went to where I thought I got a missile and SAW THE MISSILE EXPANSION THERE. So...stupid...

I was playing Castlevania: dawn of Sorrow last night trying to level.

I walked into a Room where Ghosts constantly Spawn, and Avtivated the Beur (makes Fire circle around you) Soul. I put my DS down, and went to sleep. Woke up in the morning and saw that I forgot to Equip the Chaos Ring (Gives pretty much Infinant MP) and died just as I picked up my DS.

I lost about 3 mill EXP and a ton of Levels.

Well, I have one...

I was playing goalie in NHL 06, Roloson for Edmonton on Beginner difficulty. I sucked and was scored on and Edmonton lost to Edmonton Phazon Primes (my created team). >_<

Edit: To tell you, I was a good goalie in Beginner difficulty. I usually only got 1 goal scored on per game. In this game, I lost 15-0.

In AW: DS, I was doing Turn Survival repeatedly to raise the ranks for some of my COs, on the first map, the one with the two Landers, two Black Boats, two infantry, and a T Copter, I took the Landers across, and when the bottom one was able to get to the island, I realized that I didn't load an infantry onto it...

The sad part is that this happened twice.

EDIT: I was doing Money Survival, and I was on the map Triple Threat. I was using a guide for it, and at one point, I was to wait until Grimm's Fighters and Stealths ran out of fuel. The day before the Fighters were going to asplode, I wasn't paying attention, and when I looked at the screen, I saw that I had bought a Black Bomb... >_<

Oh. My. God.

This was from today...

I can't believe what happened in Game 2 of the Semi-final playoffs of PRM (Edmonton Phazon Prime) and DAL (Dallas Stars).

Alright, so Ancient Evil/Darkness Demurk/Author Vhozon (forgot which one) scored a goal, giving PRM (my team) a 1-0 advantage. Then, at the face-off, Vhozon wins it and I always have it passed to one of my team mates. Well, it slid to Samus Aran (my 98 Butterfly style goalie, which is back-up for Kilza usually, but was the main goalie for this game) and he turns around, what I call "Crashing into the net" and the puck SLIDES BETWEEN HIS DAMN LEGS AND IT IS AN OWN GOAL BY VHOZON!!! That is crazy, my great Butterfly goalie fails...>_<

But another crazy one but good one for me is that my team gets called for a penalty. Once I touch the puck, penalty begins (or any offsides or Intermissions). Anyways, I slam into the person with the puck, and since the goalies always go away when a penalty to the oppisition happens, the puck slides into the empty net!!! And I got the goal. =)

Oh, and I wonder who programmed it so that you can score on your own net. I did that before without my goalie in net...=O

Okay, so yesterday, I was playing Kirby and the Amazing Mirror on my DS. Fine. Nothing unusual about that. Then, forgetting that closing the DS doesn't put GBA games into sleep mode, I close the DS and go off to do something else. This morning, I woke up, and I opened my DS to play AW:DS, and guess what? I had forgotten to turn off the DS, leaving it at Amazing Mirror overnight.... good thing the DS needed to be charged yesterday.

Alright, I definatly have a crazy story from The Sims. Happened with my sister.

Okay, my sister loads her family like normal. She does this and this and blah blah blah. Now, soon, her male adult, Bob, goes to fix up dinner. When he is at the stove, he puts the pot on the stove and soon THE STOVE IS ON FIRE!!! AHHHH!! =( Too bad I didn't have music for that moment, it would have been awesome. Oh well, I got the theme in my tune. Anyways, the female adult, who is named after my sister, goes and calls the Fire Department. Sure, you think they would come, but they DON'T. Anyways, Bob is screaming due to the fire then tries to extinguish it. The fire gets HIM, and the Grim Reaper comes. Dead. Now, the kids, Ashley and another girl, go screaming because of the fire (well, Ashley was eating before the fire got her attention). Now, the Fire Department hasn't shown up. Ashley and the other kid were burning in the fire. The Grim Reaper comes. Female adult goes and pleds. Wins, and Ashley lives. Other kid dies. Ashley is trapped and THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HASN'T COME YET! Now, soon, the female adult goes to extinguish the fire and is caught in the fire, and Ashley is also burning. Before they both die, we return to the Neighbourhood without saving.

O_o I seriously need to lay off the Advance Wars...

Last night, I had a dream that it was the first day of school, and I was going to my next class. I check my schedule, the teacher's name is Mr. Koal. As if that wasn't WTF? enough, I walk into class, and find that he's quite the fan of Advance Wars. Even has a drawing of Koal up on the wall.

Seriously, this is an actual dream I had. I shit you not.

Now, one playoff game in NHL 06, Edmonton (PRM) vs. Anahiem, I decided to get the game to overtime. Well, I got to the end of the first, then at the second, it listed that it was the 1st Overtime. >_<

EA really needs to fix that.

...I have developed a hypothesis. After two months of playing a totally addicting game, it seeps into your brain and eats your IQ.

For example, I was playing AW1 as Andy... and I move a Md Tank next to a Tank to attack it. The thing is, it was MY Tank. >_< *cringe*
