memorable moments playing video games

1. the first time i played the final stage of pyro in Sacrifice. i dominated Ambassador Buta overwhelmingly. at one point, i got all his souls. and there he was, all alone. i thought to myself. HA! it's a easy kill! so i led my creatures in to kill him. as i approached him, he started to yell out a spell, and i was wondering... how's that gonna do you any good? then i experienced my first devastating power of the ultimate spells in Sacrifice. a pillar of lava shot from ground to the sky, along with rocks flying out of ground. most of my creatures are kill instantly! the rest died by the flying rocks soon afterward. my wizard was killed also. my gosh!!! that was one of the most overwhelming experience i've ever had in video games!!! and i have to say, ever since then, not a single spell effect in any other video games could impress me even a bit!

2. i love total war series. i like history. i think it's natural for those history lovers feeling overwhelmed when they found a game, where players could control army against another army on the battlefield. there are so many precious moments i spent in total war series. one of the most memorable was when i was doing Shogun total war warlord edition's tutorial. the voice directed me in the tutorial was a very good! he gave me a feeling of japanese speaking english. when i followed his direction. he praised me. but the first time i wasn't doing his bidding, he immediately lashed out! and suddenly, it felt like i was really in a training session in japan at that period of time! it was both hilarious and memorable!

3. one of the memorable moment in playing video game was when i was playing MDK. i think it was a very early level in the game. i was blocked by a huge wall. there's no way to go forward. i used my sniper scope to observe what should i do. then i saw it... i was almost laughing on the ground! the enemies was mooning me in a tower behind the wall! they were up there doing all the crazy gestures, laughing at me!

4. there's another very memorable moment in MDK. i think it's either right in the middle of the game, or right pass the mid point of the game. i felt through a shaft, or a hole. then i was trapped! i could not go forward much and neither were the other 3 directions feasible. the place looked great! with green pature and blue sky all around and above me. but i just could not go anywhere! i was so mad! i forgot now how did i come to the solution of that puzzle now. but it doesn't matter. because the solution was so outrageously funny! i just need to shoot! then, all the pastures around me was just pieces of cardboard, which enemies put there to confuse me!! that's the most funniest moment in games i've ever experienced!!

5. king's quest mask of eternity was a very memorable game to me! because it's the first game i've ever bought for PC, one of those decisions made solely by myself without regret! in terms of gameplay mechanic, it's a bit clunky. but there were few things i wish it could make to the other games, ie., the freedom of camera control. one the most memorable video game memories was from that game as well! it's a swamp level. i love the music in there. the music really made the atmosphere in the game! and somehow, the creatures in there were fun to hunt as well! the whole affair felt really like a swamp hunting to me! with a background music that was beautiful!

6. prince of persia sands of time was a very special game! when i first played it, i liked it. but the combat was kind hard to figure it out with mouse and keyboard. there's an important moment in the that suddenly put this game on my favorite list! the moment was in the sultan's bird cage. that where prince first conversed to himself about the feeling towards the princess! immediately, a light dawned on me! and i was thinking...i know...the princess was really something, wasn't she!!! that's almost felt like the first time i saw girls that i treasured in my memories of them!

7. tenchu 1. the moment was in the tutorial. the game's music was very very good. but the memory was when i first used stealth kills. before the first stealthy kills, i had to fight face to face with a few samurais. and those were horrible moments. so i tried to sneak without being noticed. after i got used to the control. i stuck to a wall around a corner. a guard came up without noticing me. i have no idea what should i do next. then, i pressed a button... the rest was history, oh, wait, the guard was history! the awesome animation and pixel blood was just fantastic.... the stealth kill animation of both ninja and guard really gave a tremendous satisfaction!
