What are your unluckiest moments in gaming?I was recently playing Super Metroid and I was fighting Ridley. I lost to him the first time, but on my second try, I beat him with 1 Energy left, no reserve tank. I was so happy; and then im leaving Nofair (or however you spell it) and my game freezes on me. I was ( and still am) sooooo pissed off.So, again, i ask you, what're your unluckiest moments in gaming?

Me dropping my gameboy after playing 6 hours of Pokemon Sapphire. I wanted to see how long it would take me to beat it without saveing and so yeah I think you all can figure it out from there.

My worst gaming moment was in 1995, I believe...It was when I was playing Earthbound. My parents had already beaten it, so I had started my own file. When I got to (whatever the beach is called where everything is expensive), my brother, who was only a few years old at the time, stumbled into the system, which erased my game file. I also recall somehow knocking my Sega Genesis off of the 9th story of our apartment.

At the end of Kingdom Hearts, I was trying to beat Ansem in the last four battles. I won all of them (which was a surprise because I was a pretty low level), and was watching the credits when my PS2 froze.

My unluckiest moment in gaming was when i found out that I had to have 50 stardust to be able to fight the final boss in Legend of Dragoon. Of the 50 stardust I had 49 and I've went through the game about 4 times trying to find that one stardust but I still haven't found it.

Wow. Unluckiest moment ever? This may not seem believable but it happend. I was merily playing Super Mario Sunshine. I was doing a speedrun and trying to do it all in one sitting. Well, it seems my GameCube was a little hot. It burst into flames. This was after 10 hours of straight playing. I'd never played it before so i was PISSED. Had to buy a new cube which made me even madder. Watching it burn was kinda fun though. I saw the fire start and was like: "G******IT! ****ING S**T! SON OF A B***H! Oh well its f****d."Moral: Dont get up at 9am on a saturday and play Super Mario Sunshine until 6pmOh yeah, and me and 3 of my buddies burnt out my old 64 after playing Mario Kart 64 until 8am the next morning.

Probably had to be when I was playing Madden 2007.I was just two yards away from a touchdown, when my halfback fumbled the ball. The other guy ran seventy-seven yards after recovering the fumble, but he failed to score a touchdown. However, his team had to settle for a field goal as my team kept them from getting a first down.

most unlucky moment? well back when i was a kid i was playing Majora's Mask and my mom dragged into my bed i told her to save my game and she did something wrong and the whole file was wiped (guess i never saved) i was up to the Stone Temple boss and had every mask possible to get up to that point (except that Cow Mask forget the name) anyway i remember throwing my brother down the stairs after that yeah i was pissed i was 6 it took me 4 days too get there 
i didnt play the game till this year and it was pretty easy (7 hours) anyway other than that my other unluckiest moment is probably when my game glitched and Yoshi didnt appear when i got all stars in Super Mario 64

I remember one time, I was playing Paper Mario TTYD. Do you know the pit of 100 trials? If not, it's basically a mode where you have to fight 100 consecutive battles, the last being the strongest enemy in the game. One time, I got up to the 100th level. And then, I had a blackout and the game turned off. That sucked so bad, I was too frustrated to curse.

I found Raikou in pokemon crystal/gold (can't remember which) while training, I knew it was a legendary and that it was rare to find it, I didn't know though that once you've seen it you can track it through your pokedex, so thinking that 'what if you can only see it once' I turned my GBA off. my cousin later told me that I could've tracked 'em.

You are never going to believe this one but i was playing Final Fantasy 7 and i was doing just fine. I got every materia and last weapon for everybody, basically i was doing perfect. I got to the last sephiroth which is safer sephiroth in this case, and my game froze on me. Luckily i saved until i tried to load my game. When i tried to load my game, my memory card data for the game was erased. So i was really pissed off and i will never forget that day. Imagine how you would feel taking the time to get everything perfect and finding out that your game froze and erased your memory. wouldnt that tick you off?
