Confess your dumbest mistake whilst gamimg here.. Possible spoilers !

Sometimes it's good just to get things off your chest by getting things out into the open, especially if you've kept it to yourself for years ! So take this opportunity and confess your dumbest mistake you ever made whilst gaming.. Right here, right now.

I confess that whilst playing through ICO for the very first time back in 2001, I was stuck on one part of the game for just under two weeks because I did'nt realise all I had to do was simply pull myself up from the ledge and climb through the whole to release the crate which blocked the fountain !! LOL

AHHHHHHHHHHHH... (Deep breath) I feel much better now I've got that off my chest, It was my biggest gaming secret ! LOL

The strongest individuals, are the individuals who can laugh at themselves !

Decades Of Gaming.

Your turn !

When I was younger I raced through Final Fantasy VIII without building new weapons or searching for for GFs. Because of this, the game will never be beaten, unless I decide to find an old Gameshark or play through the game again correctly. I almost did this at 15 with FFX, but thankfully I took a very long break from the game (about 4 years) and was able to correct my mistakes when I started again. Thankfully, the inexistence of patience and critical analysis were only short-lived products of childhood; the lack of which would have far greater consequences than stupid video game mistakes.

Ironically enough, I had trouble with that very same spot in Ico a long time ago.

I did something in WoW that I've never stopped kicking myself in the ass for, even though I stopped playing the game about 2.5 years ago. I had been playing the game for a few months as a warrior and while I was grinding some mobs an epic ring dropped. I saw it had some +endurance or something like that and equipped it without thinking about all the other stats on it (it was a warlock ring so it was mostly useless for a warrior). I was just thinking "Woot! Epic! This has to be better than anything else I have!". So of course my guild teases me about making such a dumb mistake and I get so pissed about the whole situation that I just fly off to another area and start grinding mobs hoping that another epic will drop, though I knew full well that it wasn't going to happen. Well guess what? It did. Same exact ring too. So at that point I was like "oh **** yes! This time I'm not going to screw things up, I'm selling it this time!". Well I did end up selling it...for six gold (it was easily worth 100+ gold, I just didn't know enough about non-warrior gear at the time and epics to realize just how much it was worth). Easily the most retarded thing I've ever done in a video game.

I got stuck in Final Fantasy 7 at the Midgar slums for a LONG time. I kept running around looking for what to do and all I had to do is run up this one ledge I kept passing.

Funny thing is, my friend came to me for help with the exact same problem.
