When you were playing a video game, what was it and what happened in it that just made you jump out of your skin?
Some of you might remember Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. I was at the final palace, The Great Palace, and while I was going down a hall, this huge Bot (blue slime creature) jumped down from above. It just surprised me because they're usually small.
Oh yeah, I was fighting Mother Brain's final form while playing Super Metroid, and my cousin who was four at the time was in the room with me. He walked out of the room because Mother Brain scared him.
I only played a little bit of Silent Hill, and mind you this was long ago when it first came out on PSX. I distinctly remember the ghost babies...they were just there...you couldnt kill them...they were just there and they freaked the crap outta me. Eternal Darkness had its moments...of course we cant forget the bathtub insanity effect. I ran across an insanity effect most people dont run across, it was in the back room with the piano, you hear this creaking sound, you walk to the other side of the room and there is a guy hanging there by his neck...his eyes open and he mutters something...very scary.
Parasite Eve 2 (I think). Where, after you beat the hotel, you go to these mines with the awkward beasts. Well, I ran out of bullets so I used a tonfa and nearly beat it to hell.
The first time I investigated the bathtub in Eternal Darkness...... I think I jumped a foot and a half. Good god.
...........Have any embarrassing/scary moments to share?
