Any time anyone who isn't a friend sees you playing DOA Volleyball.

Boasting how great I was at Resident Evil 2 to my brother/stepdad, making them watch me play it then promptly dying after about 10 minutes of play... :D

Any time anything embarrassing happens, I just put Viewtiful Joe on. People love it and you get instant redemption.

Girlfriend always beats me in every fighting game known to man.

While im trying to be crafty with special moves, she's always "light kicking me" to death.

Also, when she kicks my arse in front of all our mates.

My 12 year old cousin being able to complete 150cc in mario kart, when icant.

offcourse the obligatory "lose to a n00b in a fighting game" has happend alot. Cocky kids at gamestands are the worst! grr..

when grabbing with my gamecube for vorspiel's(party before the real party, don't know english name) and people thinks I'm childish geek.

though it's always rewarded by a huge smile on my face, when I notice that we all are having a blast over mario party and shots of vodka on top of the telly :D

Playing P.N.03 with Vanessa in the Papillon suit and girls walk in. I couldn't even defend myself to my girlfriend and she's usually pretty liberal about these sort of things.

Playing anything on Xbox Live and someone who's not a friend walks in cos I think I look like a major twat with the headset on and talking to people about 'flanking the enemy' :D

Not embaressing for me, but when the PS first came out my cousin and me were playing Toshinden (Well maybe that's embaressing) and he was kicking my ass. He was a way to finish me off with a sliding attack when I jumped over him and he slid off the edge. Oh how I laughed at him. :D

I once completed a tricksy DDR song at the beginning of a party (with a couple of lucky observers). Stepping back onto the mat later the same night with a considerably larger crowd, and one too many units in me, I proceed to shamble around for ten seconds and unceremoniously loose.

It was like watching Roger Rabbit trying to find his footing on a floor covered with oil and ball bearings.

Early 90's playing Doom on the PC....Trying to peer around corners, and then almost jumping off my seat anytime something surprised me. ;)

Playing games at Ed Lomas's house. 15 hours of winner stays on Mario Kart. Which was fine. Until another friends sexy older sister and her mates turned up. I was the only one who even took a break from playing games and drinking very weak lager to chat to them, and even my gift of the gab ;) couldn't rescue the situation.

Fast forward about 6 years. Now at Uni. Gorgeous Italian housemates arrange huge house party. Me and my friends fill a bath full of beer and get some vodka. Then about 10 people spend the evening watching me and my mate Pete play Oddworld ABe's Odyssey.

The fact that I ever played Sam Fox's strip poker on the Spectrum, instead of paying 30p for The Sun....

And nowdays, anyone not into games who walks in during an EA meet. Particularly my girlfriends saucy MILF friend walking in with my gf, to find 8 guys sitting in drakness, backs to each other int he centre of the room. One set staring at a projector, the others at a widescreen, and all swearing, and shouting at each other.

Apparently the MILF turn to my girlfriend and said "Now I see why you wanted to come to mine tonight"

'Shake it baby', 'Shit' etc going into strip clubs..and when the baddies kneel down and beg for mercy im putting them down with the shotgun going 'eat that' and 'sit down you..melon farmer'.

Playing Donkey Konga? Well, it would be if I had any shame at all. And yeah, generic 'beaten repeatedly by little sister at Soul Calibur 2' tale.

Ooh, and singing an adlibbed song based on the gameplay of Spy Hunter (Spectrum) to the tune of Don't Cry For Me Argentina when I was a lot younger. Strange child.

Playing 'Kick It' at the arcade and completely missing the ball while being watched by a bunch of teenage girls. I was 31.

I refuse to ever play that game. I believe scientists have shown that there is a 95% chance of me spooning the ball in completely the wrong direction and/or falling on my arse.

About six years ago, I remember going out for a night out with my two brothers and guy from my work (who we didn’t really know that well). Time went by and we all got talking about games, the night was dull and I suggested that we go back and have a blast on my N64.

On the way home the guy asked if we had Goldeneye? ;)

Oh yeah I tell him, I’d had it for about a year and it hadn’t left the N64, every Sunday me and said brothers would play all afternoon and when not doing that I would be on the singleplayer; needless to say we considered ourselves OO agents.

He asked if we were any good… :P Oh yeah I tell him and for the rest of the walk home we espouse about how fabulous we are at GE, oh yeah DAMN good! He said nothing but I could tell he was scared…. B)

You know what happened next, this guy not only played out of his skin but we all played absolutely shite. We were useless, he won about nine or ten games in a row! I was so embarrassed I actually had to apologise to him saying something like “We’re not usually this bad…” :(

I then managed to up my game and won eight or nine rounds in a row myself but by that time the damage was done. Another lesson learned… ;)

When my mum walked in on me playing Donkey Konga. I felt such a dick. At first she had a look of "what on earth are you doing?" but eventually she was just stood there waiting for me to let her have a go.

I remember being in the arcades with my friends, and spotting a House of the Dead cabinet, I walked over, telling my friends how good I was at it (owning it on the Saturn) and I reckoned I could get to the end boss easy. After about 5 credits, I gave up on the second boss. I kept my mouth shut for the rest of the day.

When the first Playstation was released being a teenager I couldn't really afford one so I rented one for the night from a local video store.

When I got home I put the game in (Wipeout or Tekken I think) and it wouldn't work, just the memory management screen. So I went back to the store console in hand to complain... the girl behind the counter sets it up to see what the problem is and inserts the game... it's at this point I realise my mistake... you had to 'click' the CD down - I was merely balancing it on the spindle. I acted bemused and said I'd bring it home and have another go at it. ;)

Playing Zelda - swinging on the ropes when my wife came in & said "what the FUCK are you doing ??" - I was rocking back & fwds in time to the swinging rope like a complete spas.

Playing Time Crisis in the arcade and ducking from the hooks.. Both in the game and in real life.. But... But.. They're hooks! They might hit me!

Have to say I embarrassed one of my buds the other day - he still doesn't think I'm any good at games, for some reason, and he was sat with a few mates from work playing THUG - showing off his 35,000 point combos and stuff. He challenged me with a smug grin on his face, expecting to trounce me - I did one combo, got off the board and stood in a corner. He didn't beat me with about 1 minute 30 seconds of free play.

THUG was promptly switched off and the smug grin changed to be on my face. Star Bar.

Taking two of us about half an hour to work out how to start a co-op game of LOTR Return of the King.

I thought it was an unlockable extra so I even looked on Gamefaqs before I realised you just had to just come all the way out and select it from the the main menu :D
