    Grin There's two hours I won't be getting back

    First of all, ow my thumb. Second of all I just got Geese in King of Fighters XI. For those who don't know, to get him you need to beat Challenge 40. That involves counter throwing the opponent. Five of his six moves were countable. One wasn't, guess which one he like to spam. But after two hours I finally lucked out and won. Then I took out my frustration in Endless Mode

    So has what's y'alls story of a time in video game where no matter how many times you got your ass handed to you, you just kept hitting retry?

    The only time I don't hit retry after failing miserably is if I die after level grinding without saving. I just throw a tantrum and turn it off. I'm normally persistant to the point of stupidity

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    Time Crisis 3 kept owning me at random points though normally I'm quite good at the whole light gun thing.

    Vagrant Story owned me so often it's not even funny...

    Halo 3 legendary campaign SOLO I'm about 50% of the way through and completely and utterly stuck but not giving in, there will be a way for me to snipe my way past this point.

    When I read the title i thought this would be about the first Harry Potter game for ps1

    A few of the Sigils in FF10 got me frustratingly obsessed but usually if i cant do something i just give up.

    DMC in the higher difficulties got me a few times. All of Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne did it. Seriously, the game over screen is the one you will be seeing the most in that title which is probably why its so fantastic looking. I also have fond memories of trying to unlock Evil Ryu and Shin Akuma in SFA3 as well as completing story mode in GGXX (GGX2).

    Lately, my real bane in this regard is trying to collect rare items from monsters in FFIVDS. By the time I got Goblin and Cockatrice, my party was in their 50's. They were in their 70's when the Mindflayer finally dropped and currently I'm working on the Bomb summon though I'm tempted to go after the Green Tail as well...

    The worst part is that I'm not backtracking, I'm literally farming once the creature who has the item appears. I'm 60+ hours into the game and just got Edge.

    Call of Duty: World at War Veteran mode

    Seriously though, the grenade spam on that game. They should have just had a screen say "Punch yourself in the balls/ovaries repeatedly" because that's what it feels like trying to beat this game on veteran mode.
