The 25 Dumbest Moments in Gaming

Gudlyf writes "GameSpy has a multi-part series this week titled The 25 Dumbest Moments in Gaming, highlighting some of the biggest debacles ever to plague our beloved pastime. While only the first part of the series is present, I can already think of a few that the list wouldn't be complete without. Anyone care to offer their own picks?" Predictions for the Top 5 also welcome, we'll run another story at the end of the week to see how people did.

Why not go for the easy one

Ultime Online: Beta - Lord Britich is killed....

[malakai]

on-line, in public, after taunting a crowd "you can't kill me". The online character of lord british was actively being played by Richard Gariott.

Classic moment in online history. I remeber the kid who used the fire-scroll on him to that day "Rainz". Lord British (Richard Garriott), Blackthorn (Starr Long), and a few others were on a balcony as LB gave a 'speech' for the end of beta. Next thing you know, the balcony is incased in a fire 'field'. Then LB taunts that fire doesn't hurt him (""nice try..."). 2s later his corpse is on the ground.

Someone responds to LB's death by summoning 4 powerfull deamons, who slaughter the innocent crowd.

A developer had made a mistake and not flipped his invlunerability flag (Developer name: "Grimli" what ever happened to that kid).

Ahh the good old days.

Rainz was banned for it, but it was the end of Beta.

google for "Rainz" "Lord British" for pictures.
