Scariest Gaming Moment?

 For me it's the first enemy encounter in Penumbra. Nothing tops it in my opinion. You're in a mine and it's pitchblack. You know something is around, but you don't know what. The game tells you in the beginning to avoid combat. It also tells you that seeing the enemy can make you whimper and give away your position. This lead to me standing in a corner with my eyes on nothing but the wall. The enemy could find me and murder me at any point and I wouldn't be able to see it. But I didn't want to risk giving away my position.

 You have no idea how stressed out I was in that moment. I was near hypoventilating.

 So, what is your scariest gaming moment? 

 Also, wtf pixlbit? Not only did this become a draft, it posted 70 blank blogs called draft...

I'd have to go with whenever a clicker discovers me in The Last of Us. It builds up really well, I'm sneaking around trying to remain undetected, then it starts making those creepy noises as I try to get away without it hearing me. Then when it screams is such a great "Oh shit!" moment.

This is exactly what I was thinking about.

Definitely Eternal Darkness pretending to erase my memory card and really that game itself, even when it wasn't trolling.

I remember when I played Haunting Ground with a friend and we had gotten to the final stretch of the game. You were finally meeting the person who supposedly tryed to help you but was actually being a big ass creeper. He is in a wheel chair but fucking crawls to chase you, I almost had a fucking heart attack at that point. Being defenseless and chased scares me so games that use that sort of approach normally tend to do the job in freaking me out.

Oh shit! Haunting Ground! I forgot that game. I remember loving it ages back... I should play it again if I can track it down...

I never finished it though, so I can't say I encountered the horror you did.

Those dogs that jump in the narrow hallway in Resident Evil 1. All you have to do is dodge them. It's more of a jump scare, but it still gets me.

Ah the ultimate gaming jump scare. Although the zombies coming through the window in RE2 used to get me pretty good as well.

Dead Space. Whenever the little freak creatures would pop up and the anticipation of knowing they are most likely going to pop up out of a vent freaked me out. Hated that...but damn that game was good.

The thing I like about Dead Space is that whenever one of those motherfuckers tries to scare me, I can just blow its limbs of. If only I could do that when my 10 year old cousin thinks it's such a fantastic joke.

I generally don't play scary games. That said, I had a moment in a point-and-click horror game that made me jump and scream, believe it or not. It's at the end of the first episode of The Last Door. Suddenly, there's a crash and all these crows bust through a window at you. In my defense, the music is very eerie.

The moment in PT when the ghost first kills you. That hallway in and of itself is scary.

Never played PT, but watching PT is still fucking intense.

I don't really play scary games, so I don't have anything to share really.  But as a kid, I loved to play the games in the Adventures of Lolo series on the NES.  There were these enemies that were like Medusa statues, and if you passed one without anything between you to block them, the statues would turn you to stone.  But they made a sound as they shot a ray at you that was loud and all of a sudden and went "SHOOOM!"  It would always make me jump!  I hated the stages that had the Medusa statues in them!

My brother was playing Resident Evil 2. I was watching him. The lights were off (cue dramatic music) He was walking along some random hallway, passed a boarded up window, when out of nowhere muscular green arms shot out and grabbed him! We both screamed and ran out the room lol. It's funny to think about it now, but was terrifying at the time.

Never really been scared in a game. But I do get anxiety from being in creepy games for a long time. Playing Bioshock over and over again for achievements started to make my hands shake because those splicers were always so hysterical.

My scariest gaming moments is when I'm playing a game for hours, the electricity goes out, and I didn't save.
