5. Beating my first RPG (FF9) and the ending cinematic froze right before the end. I was so pissed off.
I remember playing this game - I wish I still had it! The most common point in the game for it to freeze for me was the "airship chase" scene with that black mage. It actually would freeze here on several dfiferent disks, so I suppose this point was pretty prone to freezing unless your disk was in great condition(mine never were.)

The only MOMENT that I can really remember that was fantastic was beating Night Trap, just because it took forever.  I kept losing, and there was one time where I was about to get the last like...20 augs, and the game just told me I wasn't good enough and I lost.  In the middle of nothing.  I don't know what triggered this.  I was counseling a summer programming camp at the time and started going "YEAH!!!!" with a bunch of my campers around when I beat it, they had no idea what I was playing so they didn't know what I was excited about.  But, another counselor who had been watching me play was excited too so I wasn't completely weird.

Also, as far as just best pieces of games, the curling in Digmon World was better than the rest of the game combined and I loved it.  I'm gonna replay that game just for that.

My absolute first gaming piece, Game Boy, couple with Kirby my very very first game.  I still have Game Boy, Game Boy colour, and Game Boy Advanced. The next experience would be playing Star Fox for the first time on the Super Nintendo, I had a peculiar habit of purposefully trying to destroy my wings cause I thought the ship looked cooler without them. My third experience would be O2 from Kirby64, I mean when I first beat it the credits and end kinda baffled me a little bit (this was also the possible source of my enjoyment of the rough sketch Japanese Anime style) that they were so depressing especially the credits cause it was so subtle. It was only like a year later when I realised it was the Crystals when I decided to play it again, and when the whole ending changed I was really excited. I also enjoyed Ocarina of Time, irony for all of this though was I really couldn't read when I was playing it because my glasses were broken and I had to get new ones anyway so i was blind enough to not be able to read. So I had no idea what was going on but I still managed to beat it. And Hybrid Heaven the chase of good ol' Big Blue as I like to call him, I was still a game virgin at this point due to my ignorance to alot of game guides, and the fact that I was apoor and stuck with the games I got at the time with rarly ever getting new ones. So i stuck with Sega collection I had and still have.

Thats it, the most memoriable for me even if it doesn't do the same for me now then back then, the memories lives on.

I also hated Banjo Kazooie cause I fealt like en emo playing the game, or thats what I remember but it's feint fleeting memories and an old grudge so I don't think it counts.
A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.

I want to hear about that wedding chef
i kind of remember you being there. i guess you weren't. now that i think about it, i can't remember who all was there. ds, bart, jester, ramirez, bobjustbob, and probably a whole lot of other gw people were. anyway, for like 3 days straight this person with a chinese name was spamming in the dwarf city (i can't remember the name!!!) that they needed a priest for a wedding. i decided it would probably be exciting and funny to be a priest for a wedding, and i wanted to find out what was actually happening, so i decided to volunteer. they said i could be the priest as long as i had a tuxedo suit, so i had to get one. at the time i was like level 10 and had maybe 10 gold, so i had to spend all of my money on it.

anyway, they advertised this wedding for about a week and everyone on the server knew about it. i told our guild (it was called gw squad - this was before tailoring supplies i think) about it, and we decided we were going to show up naked and dance on the alter. so anyway, we decided to have the wedding in the king's throne room in that dwarf city and like 200 people showed up. they formed two long lines leading up to the throne, which is where i was, but it was super laggy and the server almost crashed a bunch of times, so we moved to the human city (i can't remember the name either!!) instead, where we had it at that big church.

there were naked people running all over the place and we really didn't get the chance to ruin it, since people were shouting and dancing everywhere. i made up a bunch of ZaNy passages from the book of goku or whatever and they were unofficially married. a lot of gw people jumped around on the alter and i guess they didn't realize that we were in the same guild. i also think the girl was chinese and the guy was american.

that was really, really funny. bort and i were in a pickup "baron group" to raid that city dungeon. panda told me the name like a week ago, but i forgot it, and the only thing i can remember about it was that there were zombies everywhere and the boss was "the baron", so i will just call it baron city. bort and i would come to this place a lot, but i can't remember why. there must have been something we wanted here, but i don't know what it was! i think we were just passing time.

one time we went there and i begged desperately in the raid for green chups. i would say "please guys, PLEASE, if [green ][/green] drop, can i have them?" and they would get kind of mad. eventually they told me i could have them if they dropped, but they were really angry at me! i can't remember, but i think that might have happened while we did this mecca thing too.

but anyway, bort and i told everyone there that we were iraqi freedom rappers who were jailed by saddam 15 years ago and were just freed by american soldiers. we were saying all these positive things about the war and iraq and islam, but one of the guys there served and i guess it made him really angry. he kept telling us to shut up and that he would kick us from the raid.

so anyway, eventually we told them that we had to pray towards mecca. i'm sure we gave them an ultimatum if they didn't stop, but i can't remember what it was! so they argue with us and we start praying in game towards mecca. we make up this arabic-sounding garbage and shout it while the whole raid just sits there. it's hilarious because this whole time there was this girl bowing towards us like she respected our culture. i think all in all we sat there for 10 minutes facing in-game to the east.

also panda is making fun of me but messing around and doing stuff like this was a million times  better than actually playing the game.

oh yeah top five

1. tfc, just after i started playing again after not playing for months and months someone recognized me and i felt really.. really good. felt like i belonged. then i sniped em in the head ^_^
2. ns!!! playing with friends!! i really just like playing games with friends. but a specific game well this one time on co_deimos... well we stacked as ns.players (ho ho great fun) and i think that was fun because no one knew who i was specifically and it was the only time i ever played with all those guys.
3. i was really bad at that resident evil game but it was really fun to play with gw people. also wizard wars. i don't know why i made people get that game but i'm sorry.
4. when an undead mage said i had really cute ears and kicked the ground softy. he would have blushed, but he couldn't. his face doesn't do that anymore. but no that's the best thing a wow person has ever said that i've seen.
5. all those times with the gaming club... you know who you are. love you guys.

actually just every time i have played a game with another human being, that is #1 to me. love you humanity.

my best moment is playing L4D with goat and we were both like thirty feet from the saferoom on expert on like our thirtieth try, and i turned around and wasted him because i thought he was a zombie and someone (i can't remember who) just started screaming AAAAAAaaaaAAAAGggGggggHHHhh!!!! on the mic really loudly.

i got killed because i was laughing so hard

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

That was me. There were no zombies around me, and we were all heading to the exit, and you just turned around and shot me and I was like AUUUUGGGGGGH
