Figured a thread for your memorable gaming moments, or photos and videos of memories of it would be good. I have a few I'll post later, but I'll open with something everyone has done when updating a game.

Ever get stoned and play New Vegas? HOOOOOOLY FUCK!
It was the summer of 2013 and boy I was into the green like you wouldn't believe. I was also fuckin my girlfriend at the time a lot, shoulda been doin it more but it was the summer of maryjane, what was I to do? One thing I was heavy on however was modding NV up like a motherfucker, getting stoned in my backyard, or in my washroom, sitting down and playing what was and very well may be one of my favourite games of all time.
You haven't lived until you slaughter an entire platoon of raiders while Johnny Guitar plays in the backround while baked out of your mind at 2am.

One that sticks in my head, and yeah it a you had to be there and out of your mind with sleep deprivation for it to be as funny as it was.
It was late June or early July 2000, Summer break, I get back home around noon from 28hr shift at the restaurant and my cuz was there waiting for me, with a block case of Mt Dew to get me to do some gaming with him. For the next 24 1/2 hrs we pretty much just ate and played EverQuest and Counterstrike, and I think some Tribes. A break at 5am to walk down to the Dunkin Donuts... and then it happened at at roughly half past noon.... The whole memory is like some weird drug trip because of the sleep deprivation.
In the game, we both on a boat that brings us between continents, and at the time you could drop money on the ground (as the Monk class regularly did to reduce their weight and not have an armour penalty). I don't remember why but I dropped a single copper coin, into the ocean and decided to jump after it. My cousin said screw it and joined me. After about 30 seconds of looking for it, the graphics just swirled and we sorta froze and then loaded onto an island. We decide to explore and this huge fucking giant ass ape appears out of nowhere, still don't know how I survived the first hit, but muscle memory kicked in and I faked my death and the ape left and chased after my cousin. I'm laughing my ass off and also wondering WTF is going on. Finally get a GM to respond to us and we explain about chasing the coin and winding up here. Since we were glitched there he was willing to port us over to the docks to take boat to wherever we wanted. I kept giving him a bunch of coins as a tip and he keeps giving back, so then I started giving him ale I brewed asking him to drink with us to celebrate the safety and survival of weird whirlpool and giant apes. He was not amused but turned up 15 minutes later to drink and chill with us.
Eventually I passed out within the next 2 hours and slept till like 3am. I also found out about a month later that we fucked over a guild in the game. Turns out that ape was part of an epic weapon quest (which back then was not an easy task). And my random stumbling around pulled him from its normal path so the guild that was ready for him, it never showed up. Chasing my cousin wound him crossing the path of another guild that killed him for the hell of it, forcing the other group of people to wait like 5 weeks before they were able to actually get the chance to kill him again after waiting a month and a half already.

Oh and a modern one, that came about only because I kept fucking up but each time it worked in my favour, like Mr Magoo or something. It was in Battlefield 1.
I'm standing in this crater on the Sinai map (the desert) down by one of the capture points, I'm a scout, doing well, but then they started in at me. I accidentally went prone instead of running for cover.. just as I did there was a jeep coming from behind me that hit the crater edge and wound up going over me instead of killing me. When I went down I also accidentally switched my ammo to the anti-armor K-Bullet. I stand up immediately and try to shoot at the driver, and miss, and the vehicle was injured enough that it destroyed it, blew up killing him, his passenger and the flying wreck of the jeep wound up taking out someone charging at me.
I just sat there dumbfounded for about 10 seconds before I finally ran off. Where I proceeded to die 5 seconds later from my own team's aircraft that was shot down landing on my head.
