What is Your Proudest Gaming Moment?

[BreakABone]

Since so few people are willing to admit they aren't perfect in video games, I thought it may be easier to list your great feats.

There are a few I can think of, but only one that really stands the test of time.

But shall start off basic with getting all 120 stars in Super Mario Galaxy. Not that it was tough, but finally beating Luigi's Purple Coins. And some of those no hit bosses. :lolz:

[Fox 6]

Beating the Prologue on Call of Duty 4 on veteran difficulty. All the enemies are very hard, you can only take minimal amounts of damage before you die, you only have 1 minute to beat it, and you HAVE to shoot the last bad guy with the hostage in the head or it will reset you.

[Dark Samurai]

Well, I dont know if you guys know your arcade games but I was playing Initial D 3. I was using a Silvia S14 and my challenger an RX8, racing on Akagi, (his choice, I dont fish). He was leading from the get-go, but at the dreaded V-turn, I passed him on the inside, everyone was stunned, and then cheers arose, and heads turned to see me and my victory over this guy... It was... amazing... you had to be there

[Vampyr]

Mine would probably be on Perfect Dark, the original N64 one.

My brother and I used to play against each other in multiplayer, with some of the highest difficulty sims on each of our team.

I was using the shotgun where the secondary fire option fired two shots in super fast succession. I came around a corner and ran right into my brother and one of his sims. I hit the secondary fire, got a headshot on the sim, then flicked the joy stick fast enough so that the second shot was a headshot on my brother.

Other than that, beating MW2 on veteran was pretty cool.

[Swan]

Playing L4D2 while a bit drunk right after I got it. Playing versus with some random people and a tank showed up. I started attacking it assuming my teammates were, when I looked around I realized they had abandoned me and it was just me and the tank. I kept on fighting him and got him to the point where he was running from me while I chased and melee'd him. Just as he is about to climb over a fence and get away I strike the killing blow.

Good times

[Teuthida]

Beating Sonic 2 for the first time.

[TheGame]

Had a lot of moments in FFXI, that was one really hard MMORPG.

[gekko]

Setting the world record on Valencia in MotoGP Online Demo. Wasn't my first record, but it was the first one everyone could see sitting on the top of the leaderboards.

[Typhoid]

When I was little me and my brother were playing NHL 94 for Sega, and we wanted to see how high we could run the score. So I pulled my goalie, we set it to 20 minute periods, and every time one of us got the puck we'd put it in the net.

The goals went up to 200 until the game decided to randomly substitute in symbols for numbers. I think the final score was something like #&5 to 0.

[TheSlyMoogle]

Going 22 and 4 the other night in Hardcore team Deathmatch on Highrise while slightly drunk and it was my birthday. I retired from MW2 that night. However after I sobered up I wanted to play more so I went back to being really bad at the game. Maybe I need to drink when I play it?

[BreakABone]

I haven't answered my own thread, go figure.

My proudest moment isn't really a moment but a series of events, known as the Streak. As I went 7 months, undefeated in Mario Tennis. Well over 100 wins (stopped counting because no one wanted to be THAT number) and over a dozen different opponents. Such good times.

Until that damn day when I lost... in front of like 6 friends... before I made it back to my room, I had a ton of reminders. :mad:

[Terraeon]

Getting All 120 Star In Super mario 64 and beating KH 1 and 2 with %100 On proud Sounds lame but hey it was hard and took awhile

[Seth]

Going 40 and 0 in Berlin map BF1942. I was medic and just gunned up 40 kills with the thompson. It was a clan game with full rosters. That was back in 2003/04. I took a screenshot of the final score and posted it on agb but nobody cared.

[dropCGCF]

(at the time) beating Diddy Kong Racing
(now) going undefeated for 6 years straight in N64 Mario Tennis

[uber_paddler]

Mine would probably be getting the Big Boss rank on MGS4, for beating it with no alerts, no kills, no deaths, no continues, no recovery items, all in under 5 hours and on the highest difficulty(The Boss Extreme). Yeah, that was tough.

[Joeiss]

I was unstoppable in Goldeneye against all my buddies. Nobody could beat me... That felt great!

And I had a couple nice runs in SOCOM to win some clan matches. I think I once sniped 6/8 or 7/8 opponents in the finals of a tournament to win it all. That was pretty cool!

Beating Diddy Kong racing was the shit!
On Peggle I beat all the challenges AND I cleared 100% pegs on every level.
Getting 120 stars in Super Mario 64.
Beating Legend of Zelda: OOT in less than 24 hours.
Going 30-0 in Counter-Strike
Going 70-0 in TFC (Engineer)
Beating Legendary single player Halo

For me, the biggest commitment is collecting all the gold metals or challenges in a game or unlocking all the stuff...and I like to do it, but only if I really like the game...like Peggle, which is like fucking crack cocaine.

I've tried for 100% completion in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, but I only got like 98.7%. And In OOT I think I hit 98 or 99 Gold Skulltulus, and fuck it all if I can find the last missing 1 or 2. :mad:

Otherwise, other proud gaming moments include killing sprees online gaming, or finding those nights where I hit that sweet spot and get in the zone. I find my biggest weakness in competitive gaming is consistency...which is why I don't compete.

[Zen]

My proudest gaming moment can be narrowed down to a single one because nothing else Ive done compares (at least to the feeling I had as a kid at the time).

-Beating Mike Tyson in Mike Tyson's Punch Out.
I could not believe my eyes when I saw mario going TKO and my opponent down on the ground.

[Soviet Stinger]

I beat every single metal slug game on the hardest setting in Metal Slug Anthology in one day.

I am done with metal slug forever.

[Professor S]

Hitting the kill screen in Donkey Kong and breaking Billy Mitchell's world record... only to have him screw me out of it with a shotty VHS recording.

The tape is no different than the rest of the arcade records. Besides, it says something about a player who is so good, his record can stand for that long without anyone but himself being able to beat it. I honestly think it was being saved for his last hoorah, but that's besides the point.

You know Steve Wiebe went on to beat his high score again later right? Which took Mitchell like 2 years to beat. Also Wiebe holds the record for DK Jr.

I respect Wiebe a lot more anyway, Mitchell is an ass, and Wiebe is all about helping new people learn how to play older arcade games. He teaches people how to play DK all the time. Cool dude vs guy who is a total dick. I pick cool dude. I do not respect people who hold video game secrets to maintain an edge over competitors.

1. Beating FFVII. To most it might not seem like a lot. But I started playing it during the March Break of grade 8, right after I moved to a new neighborhood. I knew no one, and I'd just gotten my playstation, so I didn't have a memory card. The game was a rental and I only had it for that one week, and I knew I had to beat it. There were a couple close calls, my parents would occasionally come rushing into the room to see who their child was threatening to skullf**k if they killed his last remaining character. But when Sephiroth finally hit the ground after the omnislash scene, I felt like I could do anything.

2. Beating Ninja Gaiden for xbox on hard. If there was ever a game that I could blame any of the mental anguish in my life on, this would have been it. For anyone who's played it, you know what I'm talking about. In most games, you will die a few times. In this game, if you haven't died within the past 20 minutes, theres a good chance you're going inthe wrong direction. I finished the game on normal and thought it a good idea to try it in hard.... Something compelled me to finish, god knows what. However, when I finally beat it, I felt that I could die having accomplished something in my life.... until i realized that it had all been a waste of time patience, and anything resembling a normal blood pressure.

3. Being able to do Legend of Maxx on heavy in DDR - while smoking.

4. Beating Through the Fire and Flames on hard in GH3. I never could get the intro for expert, which still pisses me off.

5. Currently: Being the best among my buddies at Mariokart Double Dash. I haven't been beaten in any level for at least a year now, and its truly inspiring seeing my best friends curse like irish sailors when I dodge a blue shell.

If I were a betting man, I'd put my money down that you don't know either Weibe or Mitchell. Too bad I'm not.

While I haven't met Weibe, I've spent some time with Twin Galaxies, and met several of the people in that video, including Mitchell. The video is meant to be entertaining. In reality, he's one of the nicest guys you'll meet.

Speaking of King of Kong, has anyone seen TILT: The Battle to Save Pinball? I haven't quite yet, but it looks like another quality arcade documentary. Here is the trailer:

I've met wiebe actually, super nice guy. Still rumor has it Mitchell is very secretive about his strategies, and wiebe was the tell all guy.

So maybe Mitchell isn't an elitist asshole, but he sure looked like one :D

Who the fuck is Steve Weibe?
