h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

walking out onto Hyrule field on Zelda Ocarina of time for the first time n seeing just how big the game actually was

using the Brumak on Gears of war 2

defeating Ramon Salazar in Resi Evil 4

'I'm coughing up blood and it aint even mine'


Baird from Gears of War 2.

Finally getting to grips with how to play Protoss (StarCraft) was a fantastic feeling.

My favourite moment is from a face-to-face Diplomacy game, however. During the course of the game I had made some well timed and devestating stabs and severely damaged any trust between me and the surrounding nations.
However, in the last few turns of the game I managed to convince all of them to move forward against the one remaining powerful player, working as a team. One player distrusted me so much that he made me write my moves in front of him and give them to him to submit; I hastily wrote and submitted a second set (which is perfectly legal in the game) which meant that I made a final push and took about half of their combined territories.

I'm trustworth in real life, but in Diplomacy... not so much.

Starship Titanic had some great moments, can't pinpoint them right now because I haven't played it in a while.

The parrot yelling about a bomb drove me crazy though, so I stuffed it into one of those transport thingies. Later I discovered I needed him to solve one of the quests, but I had no idea where he had been transported *to*, so I ended up having to run all over the ship looking for him. Argh!

finding out the huge amount of space to play in in X2 and X3 was pretty cool. X3's graphics help as well and the planets are cool, proper weathers systems and you can burn up in the atmosphere

Hmmm...

The moment in "Deus Ex" when you realise UNATCO are not on the side of the Angels.

Winning the champions League with Argyle in FM2008 (my greatest ever FM acheivement).

Getting the Hookshot in Ocarina of Time.

Sensible Soccer. Period.

Playing "Rockstar Ate my Hamster" on a speccy emulator and realising it is as funny as I remember it.

Coming out of the Vault for the first time in Fallout 3.

Using the niper rifle to take out the gaurd in level one of GoldenEye.

Metal Gear Solid where you have to move the controller from port 1 to port 2.

ZX Spectrum on the first game which had an animated loading screen

Annihilating some civilisation that foolishly declares war on you for no reason in Civilization (who'd have guessed I'm a pacifist in real life? )

Unlocking Through the Fire and Flames on GH3

finally finishing Daggerfall after about 3yrs or something, man that was a big game. Not helped by it crashing all the flippin' time.

Realising that Morrowind was still pretty big but with much better graphics.

Finishing Oblivion (and all the quests) and watching the final cut scene using DX10 in a 42" monitor - way

Writing my first 'pacman' game and playing and completing it.

Lots of creepy moments in System Shock 2.

Playing Alone in The Dark alone in the dark with a decent sound system - yep, I jumped more than once

Realising that for all the wonderful graphics and convoluted game play and blurb for many games I have played, I can still waste an entire afternoon playing Railroad Tycoon 3.

>Unlocking Through the Fire and Flames on GH3<

And still not getting more than 90% on it...

Ictoan

Unreal Tournament first one i think. Defeating Xan at the end

On expert?

We play that on expert to see what percentage can be achieved. I've seen 3% max.

Oh gods, I'd forgotten how good it was to finally complete the HItchhiker's Text Adventure - six years after I first got it.

Dinging level 10 in Aion because that's when you get your wings and learn to fly - ah, what a sense of freedom, especially gliding on the air currents in big, swooping circles. Even though one of my characters has almost reached level 30 I *still* enjoy flying and do it as often as possible.

or would that be ?

I've not dared to try it on it expert, Robyn. I'd be toast!

It is a fun party game... Not for long, but everyone can have a go, even the non-players!

I can get 90-odd % on easy but haven't dared try it on medium. Not sure my poor lil fingers could cope!

Ahhh, getting the wings in Aion is great. Then you find out how much the level 30 ones cost...

Crashing Qix on an Amiga.

So do any of oyu guys like Zero Punctuation the online game reviewer?

I think my brain is about to explode. In the plus side it makes me feel more confident about buying Dragon Age: Origins.

But, dear God, I had to pause that endless stream of speech occasionally just to let my brain have a break. I never before realised how important breaths were in comprehending speech.
