Hint: When making fun of people who suck at Sonic make fun of them correctly. Its Ground Run, Ramp Run THEN Ceiling Run. Not Ground Run, Ceiling Run, Ramp Run. FAIL GR.

lol these are funny and me and my lil bros have probably done most of them between us. Also regarding the Snake picture, he has a full beard because it's an old pic from when kojima was still trying to get down Old Snake's looks, I think, I remember seeing it when I used to drool over the PS3s release =)

What about thinking that actually moving the controller to the right will make Mario jump farther. We all did it.

I'm pretty sure I've only done shoryukens instead of hadoukens on SFIV. Stupid controls.

My brother moved our xbox when it was on. With my Fable 2 Collecters Edition in it. And I couldn't afford to get game insurrence from the store I bought it from ('CAuse my store offers that kick ass feature). So i lost 70 bucks. I almost cried. Almost.

Come on, you've at least done one of these once in your gaming experience. I'm guilty of the "holding down the accelerator" quite some time ago.

I almost ruined my friends copy of GTA IV when he turned the 360 on with his controller while I moved his system to the floor. I wouldn't have paid for a new copy though...
