Ive done a few things but one of the best ones happened yesterday. I was playing Lost odessy on the xbox 360 and had been playing for a few hours done a few boss fights set up magic etc you get the picture and not saved it. So when it came to swapping discs to disc 4 what did i go and do? I Forgot to save it before opening the draw on the xbox because i was so pre occupied bragging to my brother and friends in an xbox live party that i had done a few secrets and made it now to the last disc. So now i gotta start back from last save again. What a donut eh lol.

I was playing Inindo and almost beating this game on a super nes and actually bumping the console and it glitched so I turned it off. When I turned it back on my file and the other was completely erased. Made me mad and I haven't played Inindo much since then.

haha a friend of mine was playing 360 and the game froze so he kicked it and the thing that reads the games made a big circular scratch on the disc

During the gaming I think the dumbest thing was I walked into a gas station with a stalk of grass in his mouth, and this was done in QP, so it was thick and substantial.

Took undies shots in Majora's Mask of one of the dancers in Clock Town when she was pacing upstairs in the inn with the boat cruise camera. I stood there for a long time trying to avoid getting caught by my mom until I got a good enough shot. Then I was showing off the game to my dad and sister and Was showing them how I could take pictures with the camera. The picture was saved to the camera and luckily it was zoomed in far enough that they didn't know what they were seeing.

I'm not sure if this counts, but I tried to put the Zelda 25th Anniversary Soundtrack into my Wii, thinking it was Skyward Sword.
If that doesn't count, I wasted my master ball on a wailmer in Pokemon Sapphire.

The dumbest thing I've ever done in game was probably during Bioshock, the whole "big daddy" thing always caught me poorly because of my lack of planning. Luring them near a respawn is also not a good idea.
Outside of gaming, the dumbest thing I ever tried to do was when I reshuffled my games collection into "genres" on my bookshelves, giving consideration to genre placement to make sense of overlapping categories. A HUGE headache.
I'm generally pretty careful with my stuff.

The only dumb thing that I've really done is in Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, there's a few secret areas over the edges of cliffs. When I saw something, I would just jump over the edge. Most of the time, it was just a bit of dirt on my screen. Lots of lives lost from doing that.

My dumbest gaming story is about one of my friends from when I was at uni years ago. We lived in an old bulding with lots of ghost stories. Anyway, after turning off the lights to go to sleep, he called me to say he could hear a ghost in his room. When I came in and turned on the lights, I found that the 'ghost' noise was his PS1 controller. It was rumbling accross the floor because he didn't turn off the machine and his skater on Tony Hawks 2 was still bouncing off the walls.

I was playing Parasite Eve, I got to the part where I had to swap discs, after swapping discs I instinctively pressed the power button, lucky for me my brother was in the room so I had him hold the power button so I could go save my game

I guess the question is not about what you're doing in games. It's about what you're doing while gaming..
As for me, I spilled my tea on a keyboard, it was a nervous moment)

I take big risks when a game seems too easy and that sometimes doesn't end well.

In Sonic 3, when I was on the barrel, I didn't realize you could go up and down by pressing up and down, I thought you had to jump on it.

When I was a kid and was playing pokemon gold I ran into a shiny pidgey legitly and ran away from it. At the time I didn't know about shinies xD
