Well I don't think I can NOT mention FF8

Don't have a video of beating Ultimecia (all 4 forms) without imputing a command because it took over 4 hours to do, but damn it was cool.

Beating Omega Weapon in the same game did get recorded, although I have done it quikcer since

and although if you have played Shoot The Bullet (TOUHOU FAG INC) then you will know this video is neither outstanding or anything (2nd level 5th section) but if you are used to regular Shooters then it is

First time I played Shadow of the Colossus.
Wow, it was like watching a movie XD

And then fighting my first Colossus. I know they were meant to be big. And do what they can to thrash about, but I never felt so pumped in a long while XD

I can never talk too proudly about SoTC mainly because my mum helped me defeat a few of them... ._.

Not an impressive feet but a gaming moment that really made me go "holy crap!" was while playing Metal Gear Solid 3.  You run into an area and all of a suddent the camera view changes to down a sniper scope.  Then suddenly your realsie that its actually tracking you!

Though my personal fave actually playing was during Burnout 2.  A flat mate hadnt seen it before and watched while i was playing as got so worried he hid behind his hands!  That was a great game for inter flat rivalry of who could get the longest oncoming distance.

Pretty much every new stage of God Hand. The gorilla in the wrestling outfit is a highlight, as are the aforementioned full house rangers

I have many great gaming moments... my most recent great moment was pwning some n00bs with the chainsaw on Xbox Live when playing Gears of War... I hate the game now, but the chainsaw still kicks arse. I got kicked from the game after the other team accused me of being a chainwhore.

Keep it sexy.

Gaming moments I'm proud of?

Beating Tempest 2000. And then again, on the ultra-hard "Beastly Mode". Jeff Minter is some kind of ancient pagan gaming god; if you look closely, he has horns and hooves somewhere (or those might just be the sheep/goats/llamas etc). "You had better have about six cups of tea after this!" it crows in the Beastly Mode ending screen. Ohh, it wasn't kidding. Oh, those last few white webs... those evil pulsars... There were a few "blockers", but somehow, that one time, it just flowed. It took hours of intense in-the-zone trance-like zen concentration. I was shaking (OK, with the Jaguar controller, that's not hard, but far more so than usual).

I won a Doom tournament once. That kicked butt. Especially as we fought the final round on Cathedral of Hate with nothing but those legendarily meaty shotguns. It was anyone's game, it was chaos, it was awesome.

I got a record time on the original uber–cheesy edition of Resident Evil (which was promptly beaten by a Korean, but what isn't?). And that's tough, because — as I worked out — the timer is real time. It does not pause for load or cut scene, zombie nor beast. Similarly my playthroughs of RE2 and RE3, and RE:Code Veronica were spectacular ownage after enough practice. It's sooo satisfying to blitz through them that first time with no saves, and when you have your technique down, so amazing to nail it. And it's so easy to screw up, like by getting poisoned by that spider boss in RE1 (which costs you so much time). Doing the Tyrant waltz after all that is just so much fun, and nailing him with the rocket launcher, just absolutely satisfying.

Getting the White Angel car on Ridge Racer Revolution (you have to beat it in a race). You get a running lap start, and then the race proper begins when the Angel starts... and passes you... that thing's a demon, feels like it's going twice as fast as you; if it gets one single opportunity to pass you, at all, it will. All it takes is one corner where you're not blocking, one tiny slip up; you have to drive perfectly, and with the considerable help of the twisty white neGcon, I did it, and it was good.

And I was pretty good at FF8 as well. You haven't lived 'til you've done a minimum-level playthrough.

There's just so much awesome in the gaming world, you wonder how some people miss so much of it.

Shooting a Khezu on monster hunter out of the sky xD Now, A Khezu is a big dragon thing, id pummelled it quite heftily and it tried to fly away to hide and heal. i aimed up with my bow, fired and was rewarded by it crashing to the floor xD Now, i figured aha ive got you now you git, but then it was dead! Quest cleared! Another time was when a Kut Ku (giant chicken dragon thing) just dropped dead, mid fight. I dont know how it happened, i sure as hell didnt hit it, it just collapsed. Oh how I laughed. I do despise the game at times but its moments like that which really make it up to me

Last night sparked a quite recent (only a few months ago) memory of Halo 3. I played a few games that day, and while playing last night and absolutley OWNING my sister and my brother I remembered this...



The reason I was chuffed with this game is that fact that while the guy was giving me a little of a trash talk in the lobby saying how he had been playing since it came out ect. He still couldn't beat me, and I'm not even a great halo 3 player. Another reason this is one of my favourite ownage sprees is that all that day I was coming in 1st and 2nd, during a game of Oddball on Halo 3, 100 seconds to win, I held the Oddball for 99 seconds, and Accidently jumped down a hole. May I add, I was the ONLY person holding the Oddball meaning the scores were 99, 0, 0 ,0. Because of my stupid jump, the scored ended up being 100, 6, 0, 0.

Keep it sexy.

Ah, I remember the White Angel on RRR.  That was one tough assed race!

\m/ I just killed a Leviathan with an Impact Hammer \m/

If you haven't played UT3 then this may not make sense
If you have then it won't make sense.

My greatest achievement was making it through the Okami opening story. XD seriously, its long, and the music and the weird jibberjabber talking drove my mum nuts. Then when I got into the game I discovered the bark  button, so tried to annoy her more by going:

"look Mog, look!" *bark bark bark* "look!" *bark* *bark bark bark bark* "look mog!" *bark bark* and so on. XD I was highly amused by the barking.

The maddest moment that still comes to mind in gaming for me is when I was playing MarioKart Double Dash with my brother in one of the main races. Somehow I passed the finish line with a computer at exactly the same time, even the little millisecond things were spot on.
