Gaming Moments: "F*CK YOU" Missile

THE SCENARIO:

The door opens, complete silence fills the room, a lone man stands in the middle, he turns around at the sound of the door opening to see Commander Daniel Shepard, he says:

-"So, it seems you are as capable as they say, those 100 soldiers you defeated on the way here were the best men our organization had."

As he speaks, his hand starts reaching for the sword on his back...

-"Still, they were just soldiers, unlike me and you Commander, we are not like them, we are stronger, faster, smarter..."

Grasping the sword, he slowly starts unsheathing it, the sound of the blade grazing against the scabbard is getting stronger... 

Because nothing says "intergalactic warfare" and "advanced alien technology" like a FREAKING KATANA.

-"We are superior in every sense Commander, we... are GODS!"

!!KABOOM!!

-"OW! IS THAT A ROCKET LAUNCHER?!?!"

Gaming Moments: "No brain" ledge


THE SCENARIO:

The storm rages outside the church's windows, Father Pain starts loading his holy shotgun, shell by shell, the thunder and lightning outside marks the rhythm for his motions, but while his hands are busy handling the weapon, his eyes are fixed on the window, staring deeply into the night. A lightning strike! the light it gives lasts for only a second, just  enough to remind him of the undead horde gathering outside his window, they are slow and stupid "gotta be at least a hundred of them shambling demons" thinks Father Pain, in his heart he keeps telling himself he'll be able to hold the church.

Fig. 1: Zombie Horde

As the last shell enters the barrel he falls to his knees and starts what could be his last prayer, he doesn't ask for anything, not even in this time of despair. He finishes his prayer and starts walking up the stairs, he has walked up this stairs every day for the past 30 years, but this time they feel a little bit longer, just enough for him to start regretting his decision, but he doesn't stop. Finally he reaches the bell tower, he used to love the view, as he watches the horde get closer he realizes he doesn't have enough ammunition, he knew that already, but he held some hope, now hope is a lost concept to him. As he readies his shotgun he notices a broken ledge in front of him, he gets close to examine it, he wouldn't want to fall, not tonight, as he looks down a thought crosses his mind "WOULDN'T IT BE AWESOME TO JUMP FROM HERE?!? DAMN THAT'D LOOK COOL" as the most idiotic thoughts of his life cross his mind all notion of logic and reason leaves his brain, he takes a step back, his body is ready, as he starts running, a little frail voice inside his mind says "you know, this is a stupid idea" but he cant hear it, for the loud and strong voice in his heart is screaming "LEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY".

Gaming Moments: Jump, shoot... grenade.


THE SCENARIO :

The helicopter has landed, and after a long cut scene detailing the apparently easy process of rappelling down into a war zone you are finally granted control of your character, looking away from your teammates in order to prevent a tragic (Although ultimately funny) accident, you start pressing every button on your controller in order lo learn their function, sure, you could have waited until the tutorial started, but you don't have time for that, you are Sergeant Bobblepatch, you are here to save your country from the nameless army that kinda looks like a real-world faction but that is totally a coincidence even though they clearly have a Russian accent... you are the only man who can do this, especially since you've done it like a thousand times before in other games with the same story (Seriously, why Russians?), you could say you already know how to play.

So, with all your knowledge and experience in hand (And i assume your controller) you press the sequence of buttons you always press, "X" to jump, "R1" to shoot, "L1" to... grenade?
