    Default Dumbest thing you've ever done playing a game

    Well?

    Mine is playing Tekken using the Guitar Hero guitar to control my characters.

    James Latimer Cockney Rebel's is losing to me 3 out of 4 times when I was using said guitar to control my character. :D

    Using the Dance Dance Pad to play Hotshots Golf.

    I have gone upwards of five-to-six hours without saving a single time while playing an RPG. Likewise, I have played strategy RPGs like Final Fantasy Tactics without saving before several key, and difficult, battles.

    As far as using game-specific controllers for games they were not meant for.. yeah. I haven't done that.

    I was convinced that if I shot at that dog who mocked me in Duck Hunt enough times, I would splatter his insides on the screen eventually.

    DDR pad + Street Fighter Alpha 3 = chaos.

    I've used the Gibson SG for Um Jammer Lammy as well but it didn't work at all.

    Being stuck for days on the Salvage Ship on FFX because I didn't want to go through all that crap with Rikku explaining the Sphere Grid over again, only to realise you need to talk to her to continue.

    I WOULD say using a DDR pad to play Megaman 8, but that was sweet. It would have to be when I jumped off the edge in SSBM for the 239908th time. However, I felt MOST dumb when playing Metroid for the NES. I was in Kraid's area, and those little holes that burp up balls of energy were giving me a hard time. One of them only burped 3 instead of 4, and I figured I was just lucky. He burped the 4th one right when I landed on the hole/platform it burps from.

    Playing Ninja Gaiden, that game has claimed the lives of two XBox controllers due to the game pissing me off so badly I threw them against a wall.

    Putting a twenty year old NES on the ground and jumping up and down when you finally beat Bowser for the first time.

    Running straight into the first mushroom of level 1-1 on super mario brothers
    Playing DDR with a normal controller, which can be challenging sometimes.

    Saving a new game over my FFVIII file when I was at the end of Disc 2. Did it again the same week when I got it back up to the end of Disc 3.
