Whenever I see more than one Banshee in Mass Effect 3. One, I've learned to handle. It's multiple Banshees that trigger me into outright flight if I can, or desperately working my sniper rifle if I can't.

Playing any Command and Conquer game, campaign mode, and having a middle of the stage objective change that leaves me with my main forces a million miles away from the horde that just spawned right beside my base.

Kurkov turning on you in Red Alert 3, Soviet campaign, was one of them. You knew the asshole was going to do something, but he could have not done it while I was busy elsewhere.

I don't know if this counts as an "Oh Shit" moment, "That ONE boss" or a A Goddamned Boss...

But Doc Mercy.  Dear fucking GHAWD, Doc Mercy.  Not only does he have a shield-eating e-tech Bandit brand blaster, he's got fucking Transfusion Grenades.

I get killed.  Often.

Yeah, I thought I was set when I found a orange 7x split grenade just before I ran into him. It helped, but it certainly didn't manage the job all on it's own. Did open him up for a few good criticals though.

For me another moment is the first time I encountered a Super Mutant in Fallout 3 I had seen them before but never up close until I was heading to Big Town cause  my friend told me about the quest there. So while walking there one of those green bastards appeared with a rocket launcher and killed me.

A prolonged one in Civ 3

I'm very much an economic player. I tend to turn all my attention to money and tech in the hope of fielding a smaller but very advanced military rather than a massive zerg-rush military. There was me and the Aztecs taking up about 3/4 of the map, with a handful of tiny coastal countries, physically separated from the Aztecs by me, on my Eastern border.

I'd been trading and keeping these countries happy in my hippy economic strategy, when the Aztecs rushed a buttload of Crusaders into my territory. With my cities being minimally fortified and only a token standing army to bring to bear.

Looking like I was in the shit, I formed a coalition of the willing with my tiny friends, and pushed the Aztecs back into their territory until we'd driven a wedge into their country, splitting it in two. I then gifted all the captured cities to my little friends to keep the former Aztec territory fragmented and neutered whilst keeping my buddies happy.

Old school "Oh Shit!" time!

Legend of Zelda (1):  Walking through a door into a room so full of blue darknuts that the screen slows and the door closes behind you...
"                            ":  Level 6 and level 9 labyrinths--Wizzrobes!  Holy crap the wizzrobes!  Wizzrobes have never been nearly as dangerous in any Zelda game since, IMO.

I was playing Europa Unviersalis 3 when I decided to attack Portugal (I can't remember why now.) and France attacked me right after that. It was just like "Well, that was dumb of me. I should remember that France is lurking there, waiting to kick me ass."

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this one yet.

There's an obscure but very well-made horror game for Gamecube called Eternal Darkness.  One of the nicer aspects of the game is that you can examine just about everything in it, whether it's plot-related or not:





At first this seems useless.  Okay, you can see paintings.  But after you've found a few hidden Chapter Pages (i.e., levels) you start to realize how useful it really is, and next thing you know you're pressing B every time "Examine" appears.

And then this happens.

Gotta love that upstairs bathroom.

It's hard to believe the same developer would make such crap as Too Human and X-Men: Destiny.

The end of ME2.  Both my squademates were down, and I was out of ammo.  I jumped up to find more when Mecha-Cthulhu-Reaper popped right back up and glared down at me.  To say I needed new underwear is an understatement.

However, it turned into an awesome moment when I noticed heavy weapon ammo right in front of me and shot MCR right in the race with the Cain, getting the kill cutscene.

I've had some in my latest EU3 game - first, when Portugal colonized the Azores before me. That gave them a vital foothold that they could later use to colonize the New World. Then, when Portugal went ahead and started, the tension ratcheted up until I could finally colonize the Eastern Seaboard, giving me dominance of one of the most valuable regions in North America.
