There are moments in gaming that leave us awestruck, whether it's the final blow given to that bastard you spent weeks trying to kill, the most jaw-dropping plot twist you witnessed, or simply a one liner that's stuck to you like a suicidal ex-partner.
So...what is your most precious gaming moment?
The final mission on Scrin's campaign, in Command & Conquer 3, would probably be mine. Or finishing the entire Halo trilogy on Legendary.
Share.

The time I so close in unlocking Dr. Boskonovitch in Tekken 3 that I almost flung myself downstairs in frustration?
The time I was playing the ‘Stain Removal’ challenge on TimeSplitters 2 when I went down to dinner only for my mum to tell me she wanted to divorce my dad, and I ran up to my room and cried and she came up and I kept thinking ‘How the fuck can I go back to playing this?’
I suppose mine would be pretty recent. In Banjo Kazooie: Nuts 'N' Bolts, there is a challenge where you are riding in a u.f.o., and are attempting to shoot a shit load of balloons, while travelling very fast. The weapon that you use is not very accurate, and it's somewhat difficult to control.
I spent six straight hours doing nothing but repeating this challenge over and over again, until I finally got both the jiggy and the trophy. The relief when it finally happened was unbelievable.
The fire pit escape bit from Portal. The theme tune kicked in, and I just thought: GLaDOS, you are insane. But then, I remember everything apart from important stuff.

I tried it and failed a few times, and won by a fluke.
All of Shadow of the Colossus
Despite the letdown, starting Spore. I was so excited for that shit.
Oh god. Pyramid head. Oh god.
The Telvanni towers in Morrowind, specifically Sadrith Mora. Also, chatting with Vivec and Dagoth Ur.
Figuring out how to do anything in Dwarf Fortress. (It's an ASCII game I highly recommend, but it's fucking hard as an elephant's cock without the wiki.)
The drugged sequence in the Fallout 3 DLC Point Lookout was fucking devastating.
Growing an extra toe and then having it removed in Fallout 2.
Fucking Forest and Water temples in Ocarina of Time.
Having to wear those fucking boots in Banjo and Kazooie so the acid swamp water shit didn't dissolve you. That, of all things, sticks in my mind the most.
Bioshock, of course.
System Shock 2, of course.
Etrian Odyssey. The most hardcore game ever, I returned it.
I never returned games.
Not only do you have to navigate dangerous dungeons, battle tough enemies, and find your way back, but you actually had to draw your own map.
And then there was the FOE.
FOE.
Do you know what this is? You don't need to.
There's a video.

Team Fortress 2, Dust Bowl. We're on attack and bulldoze through their defense in SECONDS. On defense, they don't, capture a single point. Attack again, we Steam roll to stage 3 and....spend the next 17 mionutes attempting to cap the final point.
I don't forget it because not a single one of the fuckers on my team had a mic except me.
Speaking of TF2, I remember the time most of my team was engineers and we somehow managed to build turrets in front of both the enemies spawn points. Good times.
Also on TF2, I was a Pyro on Badlands, and as I sped round the corner towards the BLU base, I noticed a cluster of sticky bombs beneath my feet. As they were detonated, I found I had not only survived, but was hurtling towards their Sniper deck, where I promptly torched the lot.

Pretty easy on Dustbowl 2 with either team. Just coordinate it right.
