Scary video game moments

What was a video game moment that honestly scared you?

There are some times when I get so immersed in a video game, something scary comes up and nearly gives me a heart attack.

Geas has done this to me too. The first time I really encountered a dark-elf was one of the scarier moments I've had in a video game. The second that room went dark in the nibbler hut my heart started pounding. I was so focused on running away I didn't even aid until I got past the gates of Arborea. To this day adrenaline kicks in when I see the room go dark. ( As a side note, we need more baddies around)

In Geas? Walking in on a completely slaughtered Cumberly and there being no one awake as far as Arwenth could tell and actually knowing OOCly that I was as far as I could tell the only person online. That and getting a death threat I'd say.

In other games, I played the game The Darkness and it had a few moments that got me.

And on a note that will seem completely lame in Trauma Center the first time a patient flat-lined it got to me. But that's partially because I'm a nursing major I'd say.

It's hard for me to get scared in video games or real life. Nothing much bothers me. But there are certainly times I have gotten my adrenaline so high that afterward i was literally shaking for a few minutes after.

In geas when I was hunting for some Sathonys a long time ago it happened, it was my first time i gathered up enough balls to give someone a challenge. But after I learned I could recover from a death in a few short hours, I rarely got the rush anymore.

A friend and I used to play Counter Strike 1.6 and Source alot and we would try to get up behind someone and knife them and that was always a rush because at any time they could literally pop up behind you and kill you. Probably the most exciting times doing that is when you sneak up behind someone and they don't notice you behind them and start moving up and pushing an assault and you follow them with your knife out... ahh good times.

I don't know about being "scared," but I was genuinely disturbed by Fallout 3. It gave me a series of eerie dreams those first few days of playing it.
