Hahah, you've been playing the crap out of the Metal Gear series, haven't you?
Since we're on that subject, I remember when I first played through Metal Gear Solid 3, I had no idea how to do CQC. I honestly didn't even know that it existed. And then I got to the first fight with Volgin. I got owned too many times to count. Looked up how to beat him, and then felt like a total idiot.

Yeah, been playin Mgs alot. I love the third one. But how did you not know about cqc?
if you like the sries, go to newgrounds.com, search Egoraptor. He's made a bunch of funny vidios called "Metal Gear Awesome". Pissed my pants watching them. Not really.

There was another couple of live action Metal Gear Solid spoofs that were absolutely hilarious. A guy dressed up like Solid Snake and went sneaking around in the Supermarket. He actually managed to get behind the counter without anyone seeing him. When anyone did see him, the video superimposed a '!' above the person's head. I don't remember the name of it, but I'll see if I can find it. You'll laugh your ass off.

It's more fun if you have a Nerf gun with you for occasional firefights with your friends.
Wal-Mart frowns HEAVILY on this practice. Along with playing soccer through the clothing section. And hiding in the large plastic tubs that are on clearance. Getting into the cooler and playing tug-o-war for milk customers are trying to get is also not approved by Wal-Mart management.

One of the Rainbow Six games, the first thing you have to do is pick a lock, and if you take too long, one of the bad guys opens the door and shoots you in the face. I got plugged ten times before I got past there, and I didn't get much farther before I lost interest in it. It gave me a new appreciation for Diablo.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Farcry 2 on hard.
'Twas a fine summers day with my GPS on and the sun on my face. My buggy happily trundled along the road and I neared my destination. From nowhere a force drove me onto the roadside, I quickly looked left and saw two men in a car pushing me off. I jumped out of my fallen vehicle and proceeded to fire my missile launcher where upon the projectile missed and flew sideways. Stunned I was killed by a nearby grenade.
Woken up by a 'buddy' of mine I ran to cover behind a wall where he then proceeded to run into the enemy where upon he was runover by that same car.
Jumping into a nearby lake I was happily met with a bout of malaria, and walked out to take a Malaria pill only to be met by another grenade.'
Cheap game.

its laughable now, but the first time i ever tried beating psycho mantis (i was like, 12)... took me almost a week to figure out that i needed to plug the controller into the other port
other than that, just about anytime i play my dad in Madden... its ugly, oddly enough the ugliness is reversed when we play the college football game

In Devil May Cry, it took me over a week to beat the first boss (which you get to in about 10 min of game play). The combination of jacked up camera angles, a very cluttered room, and not really knowing what I was supposed to be doing made is really hard. Once I killed him, the rest of the game was easy. Really made me mad though that the first boss was the hardest.
The other way to get owned really quickly is to play a hard song on guitar hero / rock band on a difficulty that's beyond you.

The last boss in CABAL. I don't even know how you're suppose to beat that thing without game genie. It launched more shots then there were open spaces on the screen.
sadly, my own "She Who Must Be Obeyed" will not allow me to get guitar hero
one game that somewhat kicked me in the junk, was Rainbow Six Vegas... but not as such, it was only in the 2 player co-op mode, fighting along side my dad.... I cant help it if im used to a 4 man stack for room clearing, AND he knows where all the enemies are stationed so gets all the glory kills.

All I do for fun is hope I get the Zombie game, then stab/shoot my unaware teammates!
