Number 1 isn't just unlucky, it's downright disgusting and heartless
😔
Why, it’s not like he was gonna sell any of it. Hoarders gonna hoard. It’s just material
@@zakn5869That's beside the point, it's not her property to do away with. What, she couldn't have just called her son and ask if he cared enough to either take them or throw them out? Would you want someone throwing away YOUR stuff without your consent or knowledge?
@@ZT2ExtinctAnimals if he really cared that much about them, he would’ve stored them somewhere in which only he could access them, he obviously had the money… as for me, there’s nothing I’m not ready to part with. It’s easy when you don’t have a lot.
@@zakn5869 What if she gets cancer? Or what if it's her grandchild who gets cancer? And he decides he's gonna pay for all of the treatments, by selling his games. ??? That's not a fkn option anymore thanks to her smooth brain idiocy. Half a million dollars. Hoarders gonna hoard and stupids gonna stupid 🙄
I hope the mom from #1 found out the value of that collection and feels absolutely stupid.... Like damn. Painful is an understatement. I face palmed the half end of that story.
she could have brought alot of dish washers and french-door fridge with that money haha
I feel like there is more to that story. She must have been upset with him or something. First thing that went to my mind is sue... because that's an insane amount of money lost! I feel like it's more than some "accident".
I know right! I swear I almost cried.
@@michaellanctot7457what grounds does he have to sue though? It's kinda his fault for storing it on someone else's property.
Probably did when the son found out. She honestly probably didn’t know their worth and the dude probably left or moved and she was just clearing out stuff and just thought, well he Doesnt play these games anymore/Doesnt live here and they are taking up space, so I’ll donate them. Not malicious intent.
Same thing happened to my friends mom. His dad collected a lot of GI Joe dolls since he was a kid, and stored them up in the attic. The mom was clearing out boxes/old stuff and got rid of them without realizing she threw away action figures worth literally thousands of dollars a piece.
When I was 13 my family moved into a new place with three barns on the property. One of them had a few 45 gallon bags filled with old Nintendo games and controllers. Probably between 200 to 300 games. My dad threw them all in the dumpster
As for stories like #1: My father's step-mother sold over 200,000 worth of his old Magic; the Gathering cards in a yard sale. The step-mom got 50$.
She kept the money? That is disgusting
Getting that far without taking any hits in elden ring is still a massive accomplishment
Facts especially doing it twice so he should still be proud
It's not really hard for people like him or Gino, they both have done a ton of no hit runs with various weps, blindfold runs and crazy modded runs for all the souls likes including ER
Totally, it's the small things that matters.
Dunkey did that first time and with a steering wheel controller, while blindfolded.
it really is! but deep inside you'll still feel it as a failure lol
I hate hearing about things like entire vintage collections being lost because that's hurtful to the entire gaming community. A huge collection like that was guaranteed to have a few very rare items that are essentially lost forever now.
It needed to get bought in a museum, teah
The moral of the story is store your own collection if you value it. The guy had a job and used his parents as a storage facility for years. The guy was an idiot.
@@helvete983 Do you have any idea how difficult it is to move stuff in and out of homes in NYC? It’s not like moving into/out of a house, and NYC apartments are notoriously not very large, meaning he can’t exactly store them there. And these people going on about “He had a storage unit already bought out” are funny because there is absolutely zero proof or source of that.
@@AlqhemyA Then how about using some logic and simply saying to your parents "Hey mom, these are really valuable, take good care of them until I can fix something"
@@helvete983 Because "I have no idea what this original sealed thing is or what it's worth, but I'll throw it away now without asking lol" is using logic alright.
Something similar to #1 happened to my mom with her mom.
When my mom was younger, she had a collection of Cabbage Patch dolls. They can be worth quite a bit of money. One day her mom decided she was too old for dolls and threw them all out.
😅
My mother threw out my 1st printing of the hardback covered books of The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien box set. Couldn't believe it, that box set is worth a real pretty penny nowadays
I had thousands of dollars worth of vintage clothes, leather jackets and boots from the 30s to the 60s and I thought the stuff was safe with my mom, but my addict brother moved home after I moved out. He sold all my shit at pennies on the dollar for drugs, lied to my face about it, then made up bizarre shit about my parents spoiling me instead of him.
And get this - when I moved to the big city just outside my home town, I literally stepped into the elevator of my new apartment with a drug dealer who was wearing one of my old 3/4 length vintage wool coats.
He was such a worthless, and honestly, dangerous person that I felt relieved when he died of cancer a few years ago. Don't give a fuck. He never treated me well and he was even my closest sibling in age.
Wat
@@allrequiredfields if i had that shit happen to me he'd be dead before cancer got him
My daughter used to play minecraft on ps4 and had several large maps she had been working on for a long time. One day while playing, a breaker blew cutting power to the PS4 and TV. After restoring power, and trying to reload, she found that all the files were corrupted and she ended up loosing it all. I felt so bad for her, her little heart was broken.
Darkviperau is probably the unluckiest, he speedruns gta 5 but the stuff that has low chances to mess him up happens to him all the time but it's also crazy because he knows more about the game than anyone
😔
Matt is a legend
FOUR TEEEEEN PAAAYJIIZZZZZZZ HE WROTE FOURTEEEN MATICULOUSLY DETAILED PAGES!111!! neverforget
"There aren't cougars in missions."
Man, that run was insane by 2017 standards. I was so hyped and it was such a soul crushing ending. Insanely slow compared to modern day runs though ha, so much has changed. Current WR holder is unnamed1223 on Twitch, highly recommend checking him out as I am far from competitive these days.🎉
Seeing Darkviperau on here was a true testament of how much pain that game puts Darkviperau through.
MILLIONS TO ONE!!!!!!!!
BILLIONS TO ONE!!!!!!!!!
TRILLIONS TO ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
My man matto is the human example of true pain.
The Fact that he somehow nearly was able to beat the game in 6 and a half Minutes, while the WR is 6 hrs right now, is just crazy
On last: While I was in Basic Training for military, my mom ended up throwing out a mass of stuff she thought was trash that ended up including an old original stand-alone Pong system of mine, my childhood dream journals, and a series of binders containing a full language I'd developed planning to use it in writing projects in future. That... wasn't fun to hear after finishing training and going home to pack for first base.
Used to play EQ back in the day, occasionally talked to this guy who played an Iksar Necromancer. He put together the race/class combination and just called his character Necrosars, then at level 20 picked the surname Corpses because he was a necromancer (and just got a bit of a laugh whenever he had to run to his own corpse when he died). When SARS came out, someone took offense to his name thinking he was making fun of people killed by SARS... a GM forced a name change without speaking to him.
In this list: a crazy mom, an unfortunate internet outage, and 7 to 8 companies basically being complete 💩bags.
I had a character named 'Chairface Chippendale' (after the villain from 'The Tick'). A GM approached me and said I had to change it because the last name is used by a group of exotic dancers. So dumb.
Xbox won't allow him to keep his screen name "Gooche", but they sure as hell have no problem accepting it when he fills in his credit card information
Right!? Imagine your actual name, passed down from Gooche to Gooche, is too offensive for gamers to see that are playing gta.
@@J-Hudd You have to draw the line somewhere. ;)
@@tubensalat1453 The line is drawed just above the profit.
What's your point with this? A display name everyone sees is hardly comparable to confidential payment information that is encrypted. I mean Microsoft are a business after all; you gonna fault them that?
Plus payments are often processed by a different company.
@@Hirotoro4692 His point is that he used the same exact same name for both and they only had an issue with the username and not the payment info, only after they charged him for 2 years. If you're really too dense to see an issue with that and you're actually defending microsoft here then there's not much else to say. They let people say whatever they want while playing their games and there are countless examples of this happening so you're argument makes literally zero sense. You really love Gates that much? LMAO
The Russia story is why I never get rid of any old tech. I've always feared that happening
That's really bizarre logic -- this is only gonna be an issue with hard drives and SSDs. Nobody is gonna hack you through your old graphics card or CPU, cooler, mobo or PSU lol
And you can have hard drives properly wiped
number 6 is a perfect example of why digital only access to games is just bad. We don't even get to own a "copy" of games anymore, you are just access the right to use the software which can and will be revoked at any time, resulting in losing games and data.
Edit: number 1 is a perfect example of "if its important to you, take care of it!" JFC...that's heartbreaking, but seriously...if you moved out, don't treat your parent's house (main point its THEIR house) as your storage...
Number one hurts deep. My grandmother did the same thing with me. I had such a extensive Sega Genesis collection, between multiple consoles, including an X-Eye, and a CDX, but I probably had at least 75% or more of the games available in North America.
Never appraised, no idea what it was all worth, what I do know, it was worth a hell of a lot more than $40 at the flea market.
That's why I don't leave ANY of my stuff with anyone. It's dumbfounding when u can stand there and explain to someone how much something is worth and yet it goes in one ear and out the the other. Then they cheaply sell it, give it away of throw it away.
Someone does me like that, I go on a 'shopping spree' through their house for the value lost. Sometimes destruction of my newly acquired property is involved, if warranted. They seem to get big mad when it happens to them, but like... maybe don't be such a POS in the future??? You wanna rob someone like that, expect to get robbed in return.@@bunnygirlerika9489
The one about the mom trashing his games, I feel there's way more to that story.
Still... what could've "fairly" caused that reaction? Short of a murder attempt, the mom was nuts or stupid.
Seriously, you can be sure he was not storing all of that in a way that made any of it look worthless. I'm afraid this woman is just genuinely fucking stupid.
@@FelipeKana1 mum probably got mad of her grown ass adult son living at home working at a games store and collecting 500k worth of games instead of spending money on something useful and moving the hell out
Sounds fake you’d need a skip bin to get rid of it all
@@jheden9386 he must have done something right to afford all that stuff in the first place
Back in my N64 days, my mom sold my consoles and games without warning me for a very very low price. I was away for college and couldn't pick all my stuff yet, and she sold it. The N64 console, a Sega Genesis, a bunch of controllers and nearly two dozen games.
Not even close to what this lady guy lost but I kinda understand his pain.
Number 1 made me feel the pain of the highest level. I can relate to him, and that makes it even more painful for me.
I suffered #1 in my own skin, not half a million dollars, but my respectable collection of Mega Drive games, my mother gave them to my cousin for some reason. Now I miss them a lot.
Number 6 shows the importance of wiping hard drives. Just because you've junked it (or preferably taken old tech to an electronics recycler), doesn't mean it's gone forever. I actually removed the hard drive from my old laptop and have plans to turn it into part of an art piece at some point (haven't yet as I don't currently have access to the equipment for what I have in mind).
When I gave away my ps4, I uninstall my account first and full wipe it. Then use another device to change pw of that account so in case something didnt fully wiped, it still has no access
All of my old hard drives I break in half, after tearing the circuit board off.
If you need to quickly wipe a drive, there's always a hammer and a magazine of .22
Run over the old devices with a car.
Bro no one wants whatever nasty old pics/vids you used to get off to lmao. Great comparison though.
I remember trying to get all of the achievements from 'Condemned' on the 360. The only one I needed was collecting all of the crows. I played the game through about 4 times and each time I collected the last one, it wouldn't unlock the achievement. I later searched the issue and a lot of people dealt with the same issue. It really sucked.
That is fucking INFURIATING
That game was so dark and twisty, I can't imagine going thru it four times just for the crows. Awesome tho. I would've had a chip on my shoulder with Monolith.
All the Xbox screwups is why I don't like Microsoft tbh.
Nothing against people that enjoy the Xbox systems, but I'm staying away from those.
I think you should have added Philza, a streamer who died in his hardcore Minecraft world, killed by a baby zombie after surviving for 5 years.
That last one was probably, "Mom watched a hoarders show, saw stuff in her house, and tossed it." There was also that craze for a while of "removing clutter increases happiness," which a lot of people got swept up in. The problem is most people don't think of things that aren't theirs as potentially valuable if they don't understand it. Non-gamers don't understand why gamers play games and therefore put the value of games at $0.00 or even negative amounts.
That last one was less unlucky and more unthinking. EVEN IF you don't know what it's worth, EVEN IF you don't respect the fact that it's not your property, you can at least respect the amount of time and effort it took to assemble such a large collection and CONTACT the owner of the collection before doing something irreversible.
Bad parents don't care about what their kids are passionate about once they hit 18 and aren't already what they would consider successful. Then they end up alone and in a home wondering why lmao
Went to high school with a Chris Gooch. We also called him 'The Gooch' or 'Gooch Meister' if I recall correctly. The guy took it in stride and even embraced it. Good man, Chris Gooch
[Edit]: I'm really enjoying the etymology lessons in the comments
🧢
Gooch Meister is kinda cool
I still have no idea why that would be a name that would ban
@@Booneface ......??? What's wrong with his name???
@coco mo nothing. That's why I'm surprised story #6 was banned because of the name Gooche.
I know and understand the value of games, cards, and comic books. I wouldn't ever in my right mind throw any collection out. I love playing video games. Number one was just insane. I felt that pain before. I never really thought I'd go through that again.
I feel for the guy at #1, my room-mates moved out with my comic book collection while I was at work. Dying inside is the best thing anyone could feel.
I cant even imagine my reaction if that were my collection in no. 1 i would definitely have some unkind words to say
just unkind words? i would've taken a more physical approach
he had it comming
"found out that his collection was thrown out YEARS ago"
that implies that he just left his highly valued collection behind and did not talk or visit his mother in years
normal people would have a telephone conversation with their parents once in a while and get the news, that they plan to renovate the old beldroom into a new fitnes room. Then they go over and take their valued stuff
@@benjaminmeusburger4254That doesn't mean he doesn't communicate with his parents. I talk to my parents almost every day, but I've once gone home and found out they threw or donated some of my childhood stuff and didn't inform me because they didn't see the need to do so. Luckily, they weren't that important.
That's a really sh!tty take on this. You don't just assume a wall to wall, clearly organized collection of anything is 'just junk.' Even if the guy never reached out, the mother should have.
@@benjaminmeusburger4254 that makes it sound like the mother is an even biggest sack of beetle dung.
Similar thing (last story) happened to my dad in the 80s, not games though but still something that holds value. We live in South Africa and my dad collects model cars (Matchbox, hotwheels, dinky toy etc.) While growing up, they didn't have a lot of money, so he would do all sorts of things to make some money and buy himself a car to play with. Buy 1982 when he went to the army (which was mandatory under apartheid laws) his mom decided that he was an adult, and gave his humongous collections away to his cousins and whomever asked.
I guess you can imagine how he felt the first time he came home after 6 weeks basic training. He asked her why and she said "You are a man, why do you need toys?" He said that it was his F@#$ing stuff and he would've wanted to give it to his kids etc. She didn't throw away the Tonka Jeep she had bought him for his bday when he was 10 (Funny enough).
So he told her that if she touched anything again, he would sell all the living room furniture and keep the money. My gran never touched a damn thing again. Looking at the prices of vintage collection cars today, my father would've had a collection worth tens of thousands. One guy offered my dad 12 000 Rand for his Tonka Jeep once.
My mom would beat my ass if I talked to her like that 😂
@@KDB349 It's South Africa. That's them being kind
I once was playing a game called Monster Rancher on the ps1. At a point to summon a monster , the ps1 would let you take out the monster rancher disk and then put in any random ps1 disk, and it would generate a new monster for you and then you would put back in the MR disk. As cool of a concept that was, somehow, this process broke my ps1.
A couple of them really showed off how blanket censoring and “preventative measures” don’t work great and hurt people who live in areas or have names that have had a change in meaning or just unfortunate names. I’ve heard a ton too about people in different countries having trouble because their name is close to a naughty word or a slur in English.
At leaat its not as bad as Gravity banning an entire continent cause they didnt wanna change something to match new laws.
And the really stupid part is that they often don't trigger at all from some fairly horrible language in other languages... I mean, I'm Finnish and when I was a teenager in the early 2000s my friends and I would compete who could come up with the most offensive username possible in browser games like RuneScape etc... I think one of the worst ones was "Lapsen nussija" which literally translates to child... erm... "lover" in club penguin back in the day 😅
I'm still to this day able to swear like a sailor in Finnish in almost any game's chat if I so wish, unless that game was made in Finland basically, and the same apparently holds true for many other languages as I've heard similar stories from many other non-English speaking people over the years
5:13 I think I may have made this comment before, but...why didn't the people at Microsoft look for the city on Bing Maps?!
They didnt care, like most companies, they truly dont care about their customer, every company claims and pretends to care to certain lvl, but sometimes they just go "fkc it, what is the worst that could happen". There is reason why so many game companies have so bad customer support, it costs many and doesnt bring in money, so why bother investing more than bare minimum into it, once the community is upset at how bad it is, they might upgrade just enough to apeace the community bit and then move on until community gets upset again
@@legendaryjimbob7685 Umm...my comment was meant as a joke. The implication is that no one uses Bing maps...not even the creators of it.
#1 reminds me of how a few years ago we were moving and my mother randomly decided my case of magic the gathering decks was garbage and threw them out. I was looking for them like crazy and then I was told that. Luckily the trash hadn't been picked up yet and they were all in a zipped up carrying case so I got them back but
Legend of Dragoon on the PSOne had me stuck at one point on Disc 2 (or 3).
If I remember correctly, then it was a 4-disc game.
No matter cleaning the disc or the console itself, I wasn't able to move forward and finish the game.
The game would freeze every time I arrived at one location.
So, all saves and restarts didn't help either.
Bummer because it was a good game up to that point.
My step-dad's got you beat for number one, though it ain't video game related. He owned a Wayne Gretzky rookie card (comparable to 10 million dollars) as a kid, and when he went on his church mission for two years his mom dismissed it as just any other hockey card and gave it away.
My parents would never touch my stuff or my brothers' without our permission. I don't get people who invade their child's privacy in the worst possible way by selling/throwing all their belongings. It's like they don't acknowledge their child is a person with their own life and rights. No respect.
It sounds like they already moved out, feel like its proper to bring your stuff with you
@@cheshires_top_catbut it’s proper to say “hey your stuff will be thrown out in a few days”
11:15 DarkViper wasn't 6 minutes into the run, he was 6 HOURS into the run. Makes it hurt even more!
Number 1 sounds like one of my uncles. After my father moved away temporarily for military training he came home to find all the stuff he'd stored at their parent's house had been taken by the younger brother and sold off (including things worth a lot or that were very important to him. It goes without saying that my father never saw any money from it). When my uncle was confronted he just made excuses. It's many years later now, and I'd like to say my uncle has grown and matured since then but, well, suffice it to say that he used his elderly mother as free childcare and a free maid, but wouldn't lift a finger to help her even once, yet he thinks he's one of the nicest people in the world
I love gameranxs videos and I hope they do more videos like this. I can see a part 3 or 4
Will do 👍🏼
Impressive job of showcasing some awful luck without hurting anyone's feelings. You folks are the best!
🤝
Why would someone get their feelings hurt? Everyone needs to stop being over sensitive. We’ve gone so backwards as a society
@@lawrencetalbot8346 thst offends me
@@lawrencetalbot8346 Well too bad, humans have feelings. You can't expect people to not get offended if you are being rude to them. No one really got offended here because Jake is a nice person so there's nothing to complain about.
I think you are taking this too seriously though which is ironic considering what you commented. The guy's just appreciating Jake for being a gentleman because let's be honest, not many people are nice on the internet. Just let him be.
@@Vik1919 pepepopo
The banned xbox 360 wouldn't have happened if he kept his hard drive. The drive was removable. Never dispose of tech with the hard drive in tact, phones need to be wiped or destroyed if they can't be. This is exactly why.
👆🏻
Yep, always destroy your drives if you cant wipe or keep them
In reference to the X-Box with the red circle issue: every time I dispose of a hard drive, I hammer a spike through it. Case, frame and disk. In several places. Although you can "wipe" a drive there is still the potential to recover some of the data. But not if it has several big holes in the disk! You might want to do the same to an old X-Box.
It was cool to see you do a story on Matt, he definitely has run across some crazy GTA5 glitches but I doubt any stung as badly as that one. And number 1 physically hurts to hear about, if I was that guy probably only 2 ways I would forgive my mother for such an atrocity would be to replace everything, and with that not really being an option the more likely thing would be telling her to take out a huge life insurance policy so it would at least be repaid at some point down the road.
Yeah number 1 wasn’t a simple mistake thinking it was junk, that’s a MASSIVE collection of unopened games, that was an act of spite you can’t convince me it wasn’t, that’s heart breaking.
Even if you don't know the full value you have to know it's worth more than some scraps. Just watching the news occasionally you'll hear story about things like furby or comic collections adding up to a decent amount of money. Throwing stuff out like that is dumb even if there's some dispute going on
My jaw dropped and stayed down through the whole Number 1 story 😭all those games....all that money......actually heart breaking 😭
The last one hurts a lot. I had the same experience, my mom threw away my SNES, Game Boy, Sega Genesis, Game Gear, and PS1, together with the games, and manga which are all packed in boxes before I moved out. The most painful reason is that I left them in my room and haven't collected them back for years.
I mean if they're that important to you then don't leave them in your parents house for years after you moved out? Have some respect, it's not a free storage company.
If they really meant much to you, you wouldn't have left them behind for years. I'd say they were fair game after you abandoned them that long, treating your folks house like a free storage unit...
@@Hirotoro4692 Sounds like a salty response from a disgruntled parent. You're willing to throw away tens of thousands of dollars worth of games that were collected for years because you dont hear from your son as much as you'd like? L parents lmao. Then they wonder why they never hear from their kids and end up in a home.
I’d say an unlucky gamer I’ve seen was unlucky because of me. It was Battlefield 3 caspian border map. I was in a vehicle heading from spawn to the action at the border. I’m going down the road with tress on both sides focused on getting to fight, then out of nowhere an enemy runs into the road and I hit them and get the “roadkill” trophy on accident. I literally had zero time to react. It was hilarious I wish I could have contacted the person and had a chuckle about it.
My mom ended up donating my games to goodwill when I was about 24. This includes copies of FF II (IV), FF III (VI), Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Suikoden, Chrono Cross, and Revelations: Persona, to name some of the ones which make me cringe the most. Almost all of them with boxes. Nowhere near the amount lost by the last example, but it hurt.
The first one hurts on a whole other level. If it is just sitting with trash as I speak then that is beyond infuriating. She could have at least asked her own son but nope. I don't even think it's about money at this point but the effort and passion he put into collecting those games.
You don't know the context.
The guy was bumming off his Mother for years, and was very abusive towards her.
She eventually had enough of him and told him to get out.
He refused, and she warned him that if he didn't, she would throw his stuff out.
He still refused because he thought he had beat her into submission after all the years of dealing with his abuse.
Thank God that she ended up following through on her threat.
Maybe he learned his lesson, but judging from the fact that he went crying online about it, I'm gonna guess he didn't.
Good for her though!
@Genesiscoupe3000 The article linked doesn't match this story at all. The man having not lived with his mother for some time being the biggest discrepancy. Would be great if you could say how you got your context
@@Genesiscoupe3000 you made that shit up lmao

LMFAO!
@@Genesiscoupe3000I am extremely curious can you link your sources.
Demon's Souls was the only game that made me chuck my controller into a wall. I know of other gamers who have done that, but I've never heard of another gamer who literally STUCK the controller in the wall.
On a side note, my wife is also a gamer, and playing Demon's Souls caused her to curse using words I'd never heard come out of her mouth, before! 🤣😂
Number 9 is relatable to me. I used to play Burnout Paradise/Remastered online a lot. In an 8 player lobby years ago, we were doing freeburn and timed challenges. Traffic was heavy. 7 out of 8 players were using GT Nighthawks, the most broken car in the game, all color glitched. I was using the R-Turbo Roadster, one of the first stunt cars unlocked in the game. And I was destroying them in challenges. Getting to the locations first, doing the objectives first, etc. They were all tryhards crashing and trying to take me down for showing them up. They then kicked me out of the lobby for using a "slow car." 😂😂😂😂😂
I would like to see his mom's reaction when she realized that the "JUNK" She threw was worth $500,000
i have a story similar to the last one... not as bad though. Before i left to join the Air Force i put all my gaming stuff into boxes. i had a NES with about 40 games, SNES with about another 40 game, Sega Genesis with 25 games, Nintendo 64 with like 10-15 games, PlayStation 1 with 40-50 game and a Dreamcast with 10-15 games. Where i was stationed while in the Air Force, i didnt have room for all my stuff. So i left a lot of stuff back home. well one day my parents were having a garage sale and some one asked if they had any video games. My mom say yeah and sold everything for $40... she called me up and told me that she was gonna put $40 in my account. when ask why, my heart skipped a beat... i was so mad... but my mom didnt know anything about games, so i couldn't be to mad at her.... this happened 20 years ago and it still stings to think about it.
In the original Goldeneye for N64 I had the Runway mission down to 11 or 12 seconds lol (Though it was on the easiest setting)
For #8 and #7, Microsoft is still pretty silly about this... They recently banned a player on a three strike system for taking a few games recordings from BG3 of "camp fun times" where characters were nude. These were private clips, uploaded to the cloud for backup, not shared online. He got all three strikes within minutes of each other and review appeals were rejected.
That last one hurt, damn.
If it happened to me I would just up and vanish out of sheer frustration and anger.
I hope GameRanx puts together a top 25 most iconic sounds in gaming history. Like the Metal Gear Solid alert sound or the original Doom shotgun sound shooting and reloading. What would you put in the list?
AOE II being attacked sound.
“Hey, listen.”
This isn't quite what you mean, but for me it's the iconic sound that the pinball machine knocker makes when you earn a replay. (A classic metal on wood knocker, not the awful metal on plastic knocker some later machines had)
I would often replace the level up sound in MMO's with that.
Unrelated, but my high school guidance counselor’s name was Mr. Goochenour, and on his birthday we changed the school marquee to say “Gooch is older than dirt!”
fun fact, when I was a kid i had all the Generation 1 Pokemon cards.. all of them... in a folder organized. Looking back now if they graded anywhere from 7-10 which I think they would have it would have been a million+ collection. I went off to college and my mom donated them to a Goodwill because "I was too old for them" ........................... I can honestly say I have never forgiven her
I will leave a positive note.. at 3:22 I cannot believe BF1 still looks that good. that shot is unbelievable
I had a Sega Saturn with 75 games, and one day, it vanished when it was in storage well after its time. I found out later on my brother got rid of it and sold it. I was and still am mad about it 😆
Grandpoobear's Stomp is probably the unluckiest one I'm aware of. Doing side by side runs of SMB3 with Mitchflowerpower at GDQ, Poo got frustrated and stomped. This caused Mitch's NES to freeze.
Twice lol
#1 happened to me on a very minor scale. It still hurts thinking about it sometimes
@@robertsears8323 Man, after reading some of your comments, I’m feeling so much happier now, knowing that you’re not my Father. Lol
@@robertsears8323 you're just horrible then
@@robertsears8323I hope u have something expensive thrown out
number 6 is why, any time I have to get rid of any piece of tech, I rip out the hard drive and use it as a shotgun pidgeon before I get rid of it. Hackers can't use it if it's blown to hell.
Can't wait to play as *Rebecca Chambers* 👑 in Mercenaries mode for the Resident Evil 5 Remake that Capcom is planning.
🤩🥰🔥
Is this a rumor?
Nothing Is more unlucky than coming home and someone turned the console off 😭
I had a similar situation with losing saved data but I lost it for all of my games. I had about sixty games saved to a data storage device for my PlayStation four, and most of them were games I was still playing at the time. Well one day while I'm playing mafia II, my power goes out and I don't think it's a big deal. It comes on a few minutes later, I wait about twenty like I normally do, and then turn on my system to start playing again. During the data storage repair phase of my system rebooting, the power goes out again. And when it eventually comes back on, I discovered that all data on my storage device was corrupted and the device itself was having technical issues that made it kind of unusable. I didn't have the ability to back up saves due to poor Internet connection and had lost a good 5 years worth of game data.
My grandma threw all my dad's baseball cards and comic books from the 50s and 60s away when he went off to college. Some of them were in mint condition.
Mom from the number 1 story: “why can’t I see my grand children?”
I mean a grand child also cost’s around 500,000
I am betting the guys in Cockermouth are not having the best time logging it either :-P
the fact that record runs in big games are so much in hype is because it takes into consideration of all the glitches that come through during the process
and trying to achieve a near impossible levels the attempt is commendable but yes they somehow felt glitches wont happen it is bad luck but its a part of the process and we have to respect that
games are afterall a computer programme and they are never perfect .
I think the reason LilAggy took hits after he got back in the game was because at that point he was already out of his zone. It's like finding that perfect position in bed where you sleep flawlessly through the night, but once that position is Disturbed you can't get back into the same sleep mode no matter how hard you try😢 I feel like if he didn't lose his internet connection he would have aced that challenge 🤘
Shout out to Kotaku for continuously dividing the gaming community ❤
Used to be good, now complete trash purposely dishing out bad takes for the reaction, the best thing they do is act as a source for other better places
I forgot how little freedom early gaming had
I still go back to the kid who had a 360 that had autographs from programmers at Bungie, Microsoft, and Roosterteeth, along with a dual wielding Master Chief drawn by one of actual artists from Bungie. The thing was one of a kind and beautiful. He got the RRoD. He contacted Microsoft for the repair and begged them on phone, email, and physical letter in the box to not touch the case, or send the case back to him if the system was beyond repair. The console had been scrubbed clean. All that was left was a couple smudges.
I have a friend that has been searching for those fancy wings in Diablo 3 you can only get when finding a rainbow goblin, and he doesn't have them yet after finding over 3000 rainbow goblins.
Corporations have lost the plot man
I feel like there's more to #1. As bad as my relationship has been with my parents, we've never gone as far as to throw each others' things out without consulting each other. $500k worth of items is a lot. A phone call would have been simple.
I definitely think there's more to that story too. Maybe they told him to move the collection, so they could have the space back, and he refused? Maybe it was some other disagreement, who knows, but no parent would do that just on a whim. It would take some effort to get rid of a collection with that value.
@@Elwaves2925 there's definitely quite a few parents that are that f×cking sh×tty to put it lightly.
Some parents can just be oblivious. But he should have been warned
I remember someone playing Doom Eternal on Ultra Nightmare and dying right towards the end of the game.
this made me think of two gamers who got unlucky doing speedruns:
someone doing a speedrun of Portal 2 had a VERY unlikely thing happen where one of those "boxes with legs" stepped on the button, which locked the door.
it's not supposed to be possible, they move randomly and are supposed to avoid the button, one must have PUSHED another onto it.
(in a normal run, you can just restart the level, but this was against the rules of the speedrun)
and a Mega man X player got very unlucky with the boss "armored armadillo":
at the beginning of the fight, the Armadillo curls up and bounces around the screen for a random number of bounces, and he's invincible until he uncurls.
BUT, this time it bounced THIRTY-THREE TIMES!
this slowed his run down by over a minute, ruining his until-then-record-setting time.
I was actually banned around 13 years ago on one of my favourite Quake 3 Arena excessive+ mode servers (I think it was a Polish one), and I was just really good at my game T_T
these lists have gotten 100x better since last month great job gameranx team and community for the entertaining list ideas
They're the same as always.
Btw pro tip to avoid the number 10 issue, you can stream and record in most streaming software, OBS included. If you're worried about performance or disk space, record it in like 480p or something. Still enough to prove your achievements if your stream fails, but won't strain your system.
The entry on DarkViperAU was actually 6 hours 33 minutes, not 6 minutes & 33 seconds.
A 6 hour speedrun wasted hurts much more.
I remember doing a RE3 speed run on Inferno difficulty only for Nemesis soft lock my game by not chasing me in the rooftop fight :')
Yeah, I'm glad I'm a single player gamer.
I died at the very very end of Outlast 2 on Insane (no battery reload) by Marta cutting me off in that destroyed house. I ran it again right after and succeeded but that moment made my heart sink. In that moment, I was streets behind
I have one to share about the master chief collection. I was playing LASO playlist with my friends and we completed the playlist and the mission in Halo 3 “the ark” showed that it was incomplete but all the other missions are completed.
Tried to contact 343 but got nothing.
Shout out to Kotaku for gathering examples and literally nothing else
Or more likely finding a list compiled by someone else
Number 1 got me crying
This reminds me of this one time where the neighbor across the street was tossing out her son's old record collection. She had not heard from him in a while and decided to do some spring cleaning so she put all the records by the side of the road in a pile. Naturally being the smart guy I am I managed to snatch some of them before the trash truck came as it was trash day but I remember him coming home a month later. I could literally hear them yelling and then he just vanished. Never heard from that neighbor either though the house did go up for sale a couple weeks later. Alas the albums were not to be mine for long as not long after a family member gave them to a friend whom as it turns out later on was a cocaine addict so likely they ended up in a pawn shop instead of a record collection.
🤦♂
Along the same lines as #1 on this list, I have only this to say...
I could have been a millionaire until mom threw out nearly all of my comic collections.
Why didnt you mention me on the list ?
Yea
Loser
Who are you
I would move out immediately if my mom threw out my entire video game collection.
RIP to all the memory cards that were hit by the 2008 Holiday Demo Disc for PlayStation 2
Great video as always!
👍🏼
I wonder what number 1’s mother thought when she realised that she threw out what is half a million dollars worth in collections? That family could of been rich if sold in auction. It’s like throwing away what one thinks is a dud lottery ticket but is a winning ticket.
I'm sure there was more to it than mom just throwing out the games. If he had been collecting for years, she had to have known what they meant to him. Chances are she had threatened to do so numerous times unless he removed them from her home, he tried to call her bluff and, she did as she said.
That still doesn't make it right.
Google it, some articles say he found out 2 years after they were thrown out. Others say that there was no communication about the collection, he never told his parents it was valuable and his mom didn't ask him but cleaned out all of his stuff that she considered not valuable. Not everyone understands that things that don't have value to you have value for someone else, or in this case quite good monetary value. You have that thing too, and you probably don't understand how one of your friends gives something so much value/time too. "Why do they waste their time/money on that, they are stupid", if there's something that comes to mind and you understand why it's wrong to think/say that, now you understand why he lost his collection, congrats. "Oh he spent $200 on that game" "oh she got an expensive car that looks good, why does it matter mine costs 10 times less q'd does the job of getting from point A to B" "that's stupid, they spend their whole free time tuning their cars, such a waste of time" and such
How could you possibly know that? That's a possibility. It's also a possibility she just wasn't interested into games and when he tried to talk to her about it she ignored him so she really didn't know. Or maybe she had some ideas, but she threw it away because she was angry at him for not calling. Or maybe she just wanted some extra room in the house. Not nearly enough info to say anyone called anyone else's bluff.
I sympathize for the guy in #1. My dad went into the navy in the late 1960s, and his mom threw out all his comic books - including the first issues of Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, and The Avengers - all of which are worth millions today. Mothers are the worst lol
This is so sad, he was so sure there aren't cougars in missions, but then, the invevitable happened.
I have a friend where he had 149 Pokémon in Yellow Version (yes the classic game boy), who he decided to train every single pkmn to lv 100. Bro had a caterpie, magickarp, ditto etc at or almost 100.
His nephew got it without his permission and decided to start new game and save it cuz he didn’t want to lose his data…
This was also like 15 years ago.
I had fire red and was saving the master ball, only for a friend to use it on a cubone.
