The most epic fails you had in a game

Have you ever been playing a game when you suddenly had such an epic fail that you wanted to punch yourself? If yes, tell it here.

One day, I just caught a Golurk (or was it Golett, IDK) in Pokemon Y when suddenly I accidently dropped my 3ds and my saved progress was lost along with the Golurk (or Golett, whichever one). Luckily, there was no permanent damage to the cartridge, but I'm pretty sure the shock from the fall actually broke the system's internal workings, but I have a new and better one now.

Aw man, I just wanted to post this one too...

Anyway, back on topic I was just playing though a marathon of Mario Kart Wii, I was going to finish Banana cup on 50cc (I just bought the game today) and just before the finish line on last race, last lap, and then BOOM! I got lightning'd mid-jump. Thankfully I scored 3rd on the race and finished the cup on 1st with Rank A.

I just couldn't help but laugh lol.

In Super Paper Mario there's a "puzzle" where you have to hit 8 blocks, if you hit one then the block turns on but the others turn off. I didn't knew what to do so I was hitting these blocks for 30 minutes until I discovered... until I discovered that I just had to hit the blocks from left to right and not in a specific order

In the campaign "The passing" of L4D2, I and my companions collected the cans of gasoline to turn on the generator, we took half an hour to collect them all and a tank arrived. We tried to shoot it but in one of those shots we accidentally fired a gasoline canister and it was ignited and as all the gasolines were in the area all the others burned and it was a failure the campaign had to restart it. ._.

I had a similar experience, except that it was much, much worse. I never found out that you needed to hit them from left to right until my fourth or fifth playthrough.

sometimes at Egg Albatross (sonic heroes), after taking down a part of the ship, you find yourself in the abyss for no reason. Truly epic because you can't do anything about it but rage.

Any time I've ever accidentally grenaded myself. I don't even get mad because it's honestly hilarious when it happens.

The Sonic 3 barrel of course, also, falling asleep while playing Pokemon soulsilver on my DS and it running out of power and me losing my progress.

Mario Kart Wii. I'm in first place with around ten seconds to the finish line when suddenly I'm hit with LITERALLY EVERY ITEM POSSIBLE. Blue shells, bombs, red shells, green shells, star power invincibility, bullet bills, EVERYTHING.

I think my most epic of fails was when I was younger, I think around grade 2-4, I had Mario 64 DS. I had a save file with like 90 stars that I had put a lot of time into, and I had a second file with 20, and I accidentally copiedthe 20 file onto the 90 file, and I was so mad I started to cry. Then I had to go to school. Fun times!

When I'm trying to do something the unintended way in a video game and I spend 30 minutes getting angry because I can't do it but then realise the true, intended easy way.

Words can not describe the amount of pain, blood, sweat and tears this scenario has caused me.

Did you know that Mario Kart is also called "How to get from 1st to last in just 10 seconds!"? Well, it probably wasn't, but it is now.

You know, I should probably make a meme of that using one of the clickbait ads template and use the "See how this man went from 1st place to last place in just seconds with this simple trick!"
