Me and my friend were playing a strategy game called Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11.

I thought that my land army was doing pretty well getting rid of his forces coming in.

He was still very confident, and I really wanted to know why. It turned out, while he was attacking me at my capitol, he also had a navy moving from a faraway location to a supply station kind of base I'd set up in a city, thus choking my capitol of important supplies.

My reaction?

That moment in Killing Floor where I'm playing a Medic and my other five team mates get wiped out while there are still about 100 enemies coming towards me.

The thing is is that I don't have oh shit moments in Killing Floor. Remaining nice and calm helps a lot.

But I do have a saying. "It's always a crawler." Either you get blocked by one escaping from a scrake or Flesh pound, or you got injured enough by one and a crawler finishes you off. Vast Majority of deaths are directly or indirectly a crawlers fault.

Well, considering it was the Doom level and I was funneled into a one exit room with 2 Fleshpounds and 4 Scrakes (Plus I don't even know what else) on my ass the whole way... You can probably see why I went "Oh shit".

Threshers are worse, especially in the second playthrough. Also, Badass psychos sound weird now that they have normal psycho voices.

The first time I tried to fight Keeper Z..whatshisname(it's been a while) in Dragon Age:Origins on Nightmare with my Spirit-build Mage. By that point I had Mana Clash and gotten into the habit to one-shot all enemy mages as my first action in a battle. So of course I tried the same with him. Being a boss on Nightmare difficulty, he survives with about 1/3 HP, and I get ready to clear out the adds first. That is when I discover that he is also a blood mage, and just never uses it because the AI only triggers that mode when it runs out of mana, which never happens, and without the mode active, it can't use the nasty blood magic spells. Except Mana Clash just drained him completely. So he starts glowing, and one second later my entire team is in stunlock and gets heavy damage, while the adds tear into them. Fastest wipe ever.

And the giants in Skyrim are why I toggle Total Immortal Mode on the console...

The first time I ran into a Thresher Maw in Mass Effect 1 here is a paraphrasing of what happened "Hmm I wonder what this exclamation mark is OH FUCK WHAT IS THAT IS THAT A WORM KILL IT KILL IT!!"

I HATE THRESHER MAWS

I HATE THEM SO FUCKING MUCH

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

You want to know why I hate them?

1. They pop out of the ground seemingly randomly.

2. They infest any planet, making me fucking paranoid about any flat lands.

3. Having them pop out from under you (which is by COMPLETE CHANCE and can happen if you're moving or stationary) is instant-death.

4. Being anywhere close to them results in a melee attack that kills you in one hit.

I hate hate hate HATE HATE HATE HATE Thresher Maws!

The material needs a defender more than the spiritual. If there is a higher power, it can defend itself from the material. Thus denotes 'higher power'.

I find the battle cry of "Shotguuuun rhinoplasty!" to be incredibly amusing.  If you've seen the speeling on any of the Bandit brand munitions, then you would think they wouldn't know A.  The word and B. what it means.

Most bosses and minibosses in Dark Souls first time you encounter them or even entering an area where it's obvious one of those will be. The latter are actually worse, since you know you are probably screwed but don't know yet what you'll be facing.

If we count tabletop gaming: I am a Paranoia GM for my gaming group. The players seem to have an Oh Shit moment anytime I smile or seem eager when asking them for their actions. Naturally, I'd never ever take an advantage of it to mislead them...

Ohhhh boy...

So, I'm playing World of tanks (In a Soviet scout tank.) and making a flanking attack with some of my teammates. Along the route we meet some hostiles and what follows is a battle along a narrow path, both sides trying to hide behind the canyon walls and rocks. Although we lose some teammates we are able to push forwards and one of the enemies trying to get out of our line of sight backs up and falls off a cliff... After having a good laugh I and a heavy tank try to lean on the cliff to get the enemy into our sight and although we finish him off we both fall down as well. (I get stuck for a while but manage to wiggle off... Unfortunately it just drops me lower.)

Pentele!

So, now two tanks are stuck on a narrow ledge between the river and the cliff. And enemy tanks start to show up.

Himputti!

We both take several hits, since we have no place to manouver and absolutely no cover and they are firing from an elevated position. Meanwhile our team is getting killed one by one.

Herttileeri!

Despite all odds we finish off three hostiles who against their better judgement stuck their necks out. (I still have trouble believing that.) Then again the last hostile was an enemy artillery piece that apparently forgot that he can use indirect fire.

Shit just got real.

So, the two of us are still stuck on the ledge, my tank is near death due to the weak armour and the five or so hits I've taken, we can't climb the ledge. We try pushing one tank up but that does not work. Finally we risk going into the river and despite getting the engines wet we just manage to go from one shallow to another untill we find a place where we can get back up.

Things seem to be improving. Except that at that exact moment the last of our teammates dies at our base. Just the two of us left against two enemies.

The heavy goes to guard our base while I charge at the enemy base, finishing off one of the two remaining hostiles on the way. And when I'm 5 seconds to capturing their base the other enemy shows up.

In a British heavy tank.

And he blows me to pieces with one shot.

Friggernaffy!

At this point the timer is close to running out as our heavy finally decides to show up and finishes off the last hostile winning the game with less than a minute left in the timer.

In retrospect staying together would have been the smart choice.

Not falling into a ditch would have been even smarter.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Particularly if you've been dickering around trying to distract the enemy and are now cut off...

Any moment in the Thief series involving Hammer haunts.  Just their ambient noises alone are enough to creep me right the fuck out...and that's before factoring in their incredible killing ability.  Though, setting one on a group of Mechanists has proven to be quite hilarious, also enjoyable.  Also makes for one hell of a distraction.

Playing CTF (capture the flag) in Halo 4 and running as the flag carrier with your shields all the way down with bullets flying around you.

One that I thought was kind of funny afterwards was playing a stealth run through of Dishonored where I teleported behind an enemy to choke him out, and as soon as I teleported he turned around, jumped in surprise, and shot me in the face.
