    Sonic Adventure, all I did between stages was wandering around 'adventure stages' in hope of triggering the next floorplate/story event (because at some moments where you were supposed to go wasn't even hinted). besides the random hidding spots of some items (yeah, visit the sewers so you can get a new pair of shoes)

    Well, I got stumped on Mirror's Edge because I couldn't figure out where to go. That was 4 years ago and I still can't be bothered.

    Collecting enough currency in Psychonauts for a Mind Cobweb Duster. I always forget to spend a great deal of time saving up for what turns out to be a 100%-necessary-to-continue-on-to-the-best-levels-in-the-game piece of equipment. So, when I get to the guard outside the mental hospital, I have to turn around and spend a couple hours smashing everything just to save up cash. It's a tarnish on an otherwise excellent game.

    And I want my milk, damn it! It's it wholesome and delicious! Just make the Duster cheaper and I can be a happy bunny.

    What's this? You wanted to know how to play? A tutorial? Instructions?
    Pfff, what are you, some kind of elf?

    I envy people who can get enjoyment out of Dwarf Fortress.

    It happens a lot in point and click adventures. One that comes to mind is in Hotel Dusk, to read a faded inscription on a pen you were suppose to rub chalk on it. It mad me literally said it, out loud.

    Oh, Dwarf Fortress. I remember a dog on my savings lost all it's bones, but became undead- I ended up with a sack of flesh sliding around my fortress, attacking my dwarfs. That was odd.
    I think I also remember my female dwarfs going insane and hitting one another with their babies.

    I need to play this game more.

    Just recently with the Fighting is Magic Tribute Edition. At the title screen, no less!

    Turns out that U is the start button. Or maybe I, I don't even know anymore. Honestly, is a simple readme.txt listing the basic controls too much to ask for?

    @rexhyuga Dwarf Fortress is somewhat like wine; the more you have, the more fun it becomes, and the worse it eventually ends.
    @DoDo1234 Personally, I find it rather annoying when my dwarves get disemboweled by yak hair, skulls and pelvises.

    Pokemon fire red. That part where you have to get tea from the old lady and take it to the guards to get to that one city. I actually beat all of the other gyms before I got there...

    Playing Phalanx Underwater level
    See powerups. Need powerups.
    Touch powerups
    Powerups suddenly grow legs
    Suddenly dead for no apparent

    Why's it always the water levels?

    Final Fantasy X

    Bevelle Cloister of Trials. I dare you to figure that place out without a walkthrough.
