I know we all must have some funny stories concerning video games. Whether it's ridiculous things you did on a game, or things your friends did, or things you were misled to think about the games... you can tell about any funny experiences here.

Here's one of mine. When I was very young, seven or eight, I got Pokemon Yellow version. My little brother really wanted a Pokemon game, but he hadn't gotten one of his own yet because he couldn't read well enough to enjoy them fully. However, he liked watching me play sometimes. One day, after I had gotten pretty far in the game (past Saffron City at least), he asked me if he could play for a while. So I let him have my GBC for a little bit when I went off and did something else.

When I returned, he proudly told me that he had caught a Pokemon for me. It was a Ratatta. Now, I already had one of those and really didn't care for another, but he looked so happy that I just told him, "Good job!"
Unfortunately, I didn't ask him which Pokeball he had used...

So later on, after I had already done a lot of other stuff and saved it, I was going through my inventory when I realized something was missing. My Master Ball. Uh oh. Panicking, I looked in my PC to see if I had put it in there by any chance, but it wasn't there. That's when I realized what had happened.

I asked my brother if he had used the Master Ball on the Rattata. He said he didn't know... he hadn't been able to read the first word and could only make out the word "ball."

So that's what happened to my first-ever Master Ball, the unfailing surefire capturing tool, which I had been planning to use on Mewtwo... it went to a Rattata.

Of course, I was really mad back then, but looking back... I think it's rather funny.

Mine was whan I was playing SSBM with wavebirds. I yelled at my friend for throwing things at me like cheetos and the like. He got really angry paused the game ane threw the wavebird at my face. I threw mine at him and it got him. Then we got into a huge fight and I ended up with a black eye and $200 in brocken hardware. (He threw the gamecube into a wall

may it Rest in peace)

Any adventures involving multiplayer Timesplitters or Four Swords, I swear those titles were created for the sole purpose of causing disputes. This in an example from Timesplitters in which myself and three others are "TEAM DINOSAUR" :

"What the heck, why did you shoot me?"
"Sorry about that, I thought you were a dinosaur."
"I was a dinosaur!"
"Then that explains why you got shot."

I won a match in SSBM with G&W, and i was just standing still just pretending to make G&W dance, and i won against both of my bros because they got in the negatives.

i once had all my data erased on kazooie by one of my cousins. I cried myself to sleep for a few nights (I WAS LIKE 6) and my dad finally got me back to where i left off (gobis valley).

While playing SSBM, I (Yoshi) smashed a crate open and a ReDead appeared. We all spazzed and stuff, and we started attacking it like crazy. XD Not that interesting but it's the best I can remember.

I was playing Timesplitters. I was on a team with my friend, and we were about to enter an area infested with enemies. A CP allie was with us, so we sent him in to the room. We didn't see what happened, but 3 seconds later, we saw his body fly out of the room, dead.

In Four Swords Adventures, my friend tossed one of my Links across a cliff to activate a switch that requires two Links to activated. Well, he doesn't throw the other Link across, stranding me there. Obviously, I got mad at him. I repeatedly used my boomerang to drag him into the hole between us until he gave in to tossing another of the Links over the cliff.
