Back in overwatch's first Chinese new year event with the capture the flag game, I went as Sombra and placed the teleporter in the middle back room. I then went invisible and went to grab the flag. It was protected by a junk rat trap and a Bastion. The bastion was shooting at me and I teleported once the junk rat trap let me go. I had actually taken the flag. I then ran over to my team and got us a point. I forget if we won or not

i remember doing this with my older cousin, and since i was so bad everytime he died i had to go someplace hidden so he would respawn
resident evil 4, one of my buddies ran out of ammo on all his guns except his pistol and a horde of monks and zombies appeared on the opposite end of a bridge, so he just started shooting his pistol like crazy, and by sheer luck shot a rocket that that just been fired by one of the monks, blowing everyone up.
if it was me I would have tried to ran away or tried to run around them, either way I would have died

As a child: carrying my gameboy everywhere while playing pokemon, and playing games like mario kart 64 with friends and brothers.
Teenager: getting into jrpgs, playing and replaying FF games.
Young adult: playing tf2 for thousands of hours on my favourite servers.
Recent years: played lots of good games, but no memories in particular are fond.
My friends and I got together to play some third gen pokemon together, link cables, wireless adapters and all. Sometimes I would bring my Gamecube over and we'd use my copy of Gale of Darkness to battle in 3d. Shit was so cash.
My brother and I playing Goof Troop together, watching my dad play Secret of Mana, and defeating my first endgame boss in my first mmorpg, with my friends.

Leading my gang of niggers in a SAMP server taking over the hoods and killing cops, amazing how no game could even get close to what CnR/RP servers did
I made lots of friends in GTAIV free mode. Since I'm mexican, I would usually be fond to speaking with those who talked in spanish, then it would often end up in me befriending that feller. I made lots of friends, not only latin americans, but also people from the US. We would have lots of fun griefing, doing shootouts, taking turns at the swingset glitch...
It would even get as ridiculous as having fun by making our character land on his balls on a railing near some stairs at the airport.
It was all fun because the game was wired for everyone to have the same posibilities of winning or losing, because weapons were scattered all over the map and quality vehicles would spawn randomly (with the exception of the helicopter or the tank). Unlike GTAO, you didn't have to spend a jarring amount of time on having an advantage over other players.
Thus, online was a blast. I remember going from one area to another in a buzzard in order to save a friend from half the server ganging up on him and cornering him by a pier, only for another friend, who was piloting another buzzard, to rain missiles at pinpoint accuaracy upon the chasers and blowing them up. The friend that was being chased thanked my other friend at the buzzard, and since the second one was a total jackass (in a good way) he sent him flying by tilting the helicopter and hitting him with the propeller. He obviously ragequited.
It lasted 3 years, more or less, until GTAV arrived and the whole gang joined once more, hoping to have those same moments to occur once again. Turns out we were all dissapointed, as the loading screens were mind-numbingly long and boring. Those weapons and vehicles we once had at reach now were locked at a paywall, which hinted that we would have to use real money to have the same amount of fun we had back then, but turns out that latin americans are statistically prone to have less income, and thus we refused to pay for all that malarkey. It wasn't the same, and the fun didn't last.

Playing Halo 3 with friends. Shit was cash, especially when XBLive came around
Playing games before YouTube and internet spoilers and trailers where you don't know what to expect and unveil the plot as you play. Same with movies, it's rare to see a movie without knowing spoilers or the general plot line

Halo 1 LAN parties at my buddies place back in 01, would have other guys from school gaming with us. 4 guys on one tv, 4 on the other. Also 4 player Crash Team Racing with my friends.
i never really had much fun with gta4 online, but me and my friends used to go street diving. you take a chopper and fly down long, straight streets, then jump out when you're at a certain angle and distance from the ground. if you're good, you can bounce 4 blocks and fly through the air without dying

i'll give you one specific one.
my cousin and i have always and still play games together, pic rel is us in GTAO. but we still somehow always find new ways to entertain ourselves in SA. one day years ago, we were fucking around in the 2 player mode on ps2, which lets you do virtually nothing, and i just said, "fuck it, lets sail around the map". so we did, and it was magical for some reason. we took our time, stopped in a bunch of places we never saw, and eventually circled back to the hood. we were smoking and shit while we did it (nothing new there), but i still dont understand why such a simple little waste of time stands out so much in my memory
I never played them because I could never find a good ROM
good taste, all of them
Going on 24/7 hightower servers and making new steam friends on them, just old tf2 in generall I guess
Anytime my sis would introduce me to a new game. There was this special period of her showing me the ropes, then me trying it out on my own to get better, and then us working together or competing. First example that comes to mind was this Incredibles beat em up thing on the ps2(?) that had a 2 person co-op campaign with the titular character and frozone. Playing through that game with her was such a fun blast, trying to not fail on taiko drum master or rock band, and messing around in the sound menu for smash... I want to go back
When I saw that the pcs for that game snipperclips were an older sis and a younger bro, I immediately purchased it out of nostalgia.
Playing King's Field (JP) for the first time comes to mind. When I played open world RPG games I would usually ignore the story since it wasn't why I wanted to play, I just wanted to explore dungeons or whatever. King's Field was the first game that made me feel like I got what I was craving in that regard.
Playing the Syphon Filter demo for the first time and lighting a nigga on the roof on fire with the long tazer line
Me and my cousin playing couch coop twisted metal ps3 shortly after it came out. One of my fondest memories was we were playing on that map with the storm drains, I was playing as Juggernaut and he was playing as reaper. I remember I was getting ducked in the drain, couldn't really escape cuz I'm slow and bulky. I remember saying "BRO, I'M DYING HELP!" He goes "I got this". He pops the wheelie to charge up the chainsaw attack, boosts over top of me, throws the thing mid air and kills the guy fucking me.
Man. Good times.

Fuckin Col. Renard and shit.
Raiding Karazhan for the first time. I was 13 and my guild snubbed me despite the fact I was the first to sign up on the forums. So I started a pug and led the thing with a world of warcraft guide book in my lap. Stayed up till 2am because I had to go to six flags the next day for a school trip.
Honestly would have rather stayed up till 6am than go.

Split screen timesplitters with the girl next door when I was a kid. Sometimes we’d play gears of war. Also really enjoyed dynasty warriors 3.
Oh and playing jak and daxter
The golden COD years. Get home from school, boost on mw2 with buds, talk shit in lobbies, watch the usual COD youtubers. It was a good time looking back. Now everything is lonely for me, nobody else to play with
