One of my favorite gaming moments happens while I’m playing Fortnite. I’m in my prime, feeling locked in, and there are only a few players left. I manage to eliminate three opponents back to back, and everything feels perfect.
Then suddenly, my FPS drops hard at the worst possible moment. My screen stutters, and I end up getting eliminated. What makes it funny is how I get one of those eliminations — I somehow hit a headshot behind a staircase, a shot that feels almost impossible.
Even though I lose because of the FPS drop, I can’t help but laugh. Moments like that are exactly why I love gaming.
One day, during a competitive Counter-Strike match, I found myself alone defending the site, with minuscule health and almost no time left on the clock.
The enemies thought they could easily rush me… but I had a plan.
I managed to pull off an absolutely insane 1v5 clutch, but the craziest part is that I did it without firing a single shot. Yes, without firing a shot.
All I had was a smoke grenade and my knife, and I used sounds to disorient my opponents.
I lured them one by one into tactical traps, while giving precise information to my team via the mic.
In the end, I won the round by cleverly trapping them—and the video became one of the most shared on CS forums because nobody believed you could win a 1v5 without firing a single shot.
Have so many memories BUT, I’ve had one event that I actually recorded and posted on YouTube. It was battlefield 1 and I was pretty good at doing bomber runs and I had 10 kills in one run and felt so great. The video is on my small YouTube page with the same username if you want to watch the quick carnage!
One of my favorite gaming moments happened on DayZ. Me and 2 of my best friends were setup at the airport waiting for loot to respawn and players to spawn in to take out for more loot. I was hiding in one of the small hut/buildings next to the air strip patiently waiting for another player so I could take them out for loot. Well in real life I’m stuffing my face with a bag of Doritos! Well I had a big mouth full of chips and someone logged in right underneath me. I panicked and started to yell inaudible words into the mic to my buddies well reaching for my mouse and keyboard. The player logging in tries to communicate with me but I light him up in the panic not wanting to lose all my gear myself. At the same time my buddies are yelling back what? what? what!?. The players tried telling me to wait, but it was too late I unloaded a full magazine into him taking out his character. The player said whatever man thanks a lot and logged of.
Next my buddies run up to me and I tell them what happened. They are just laughing at the whole interaction. I then said I felt bad and we agreed to contact the player to give his gear back. So I looked him up on steam, messaged him apologizing, and telling him I wanted to give his gear back. He came back to the airport. I dropped his gear on the runway and told him not to try anything funny. When he asked why I told him to look left and right. He had no idea there were 2 other players with me.
After giving his gear back we all started to chat and laugh at what happened. He ended up joining our DayZ crew and becoming friends with all of us. My buddies didn’t let me live down the mouth of Doritos filled panic for months. Made some great friends over some of the dumbest, or funniest interactions, but the Doritos panic on DayZ has to be one I’ll never forget.
