Some Of My Favorite Video Game Moments (Spoilers)

So I decided to create a blog, and the topic of favorite video game moments is something that interests me. These are just some of my favorite, as the title suggests, and they are in no particular order. This list will contain some spoilers, so read at your own risk.

So I decided to create a blog, and the topic of favorite video game moments is something that interests me. These are just some of my favorite, as the title suggests, and they are in no particular order. This list will contain some spoilers, so read at your own risk. Also, feel free to post your own!

1) Gears Of War 2 - Inside The Riffworm
If the thought of riding a Brumak in Gears 2 was ridiculous, wait until you ride inside of a giant worm. After Marcus and the gang fail miserably while trying to escape a city, they find themselves in the belly of a colossal worm. The next 30 or so minutes of your life is spent trying to find a way out as your cut and slash your way through membranes and arteries until your finally burst out in the biggest stream of blood and guts I have ever seen. Yummy!

2) Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - The Freakin' Atomic Bomb
I think everyone who played through the campaign in COD4 had their blood pumping after running to a downed chopper while getting shot from every direction to save the doomed pilot inside. After trekking your way back to the escape chopper you sit down and let out a sigh because you think it's all over. You hear a voice over the radio. It sounds like a warning. Nah, that can't happen. No way. Next thing you know, the sky is lit up, and you're spinning out of control. What's even greater is the fact that after that, you take control of your fatally wounded soldier as you climb out of the wreckage and spend the last minute of your life limping around the ruins before finally collapsing.

3) Fallout 3 - Leaving Vault 101
While many people may overlook this, I sure didn't. I've spent hours and hours and hours playing Fallout 3, and the first time I left the Vault and peered upon the ruins of DC is something I won't forget. Because you've been living under a Vault for 19 years, it takes a few seconds for your eyes to get adjusted to the sun. After they do, you see the Wasteland for the first time and as your jaw hits the floor at the sheer beauty of it, you hear a somber tone playing. The sign ahead that reads "Scenic View" makes this moment even more awesome.

4) Rock Band - Beating The Endless Setlist
It sure did take awhile, but all my friend and I needed was a few hours after school and several energy drinks and we were all set. With the guitar on Expert and the drums on Hard, we beat the Endless Setlist together. For those that don't know what that is, it basically means playing every song in the game with very little break all in a row. After we beat it and wiped the sweat from our brows, we slowly put away the plastic instruments and went our seperate ways to do our homework. Awesome.

5) Gears Of War 2 - Completing All 50 Waves Of Horde
Same friend, same time after school, same amount of energy drinks. We pulled this off on Casual on Day One, and believe me, we spent HOURS doing it. The amount of time it takes to totally beat Horde was beyond our expectations. Sure, we died several times and argued on multiple occasions throughout due to one of us doing something stupid and ultimately making us fail, but we pulled it together and went on as champions! Oorah!

So, if you have any favorite moments in video games, feel free to share them!
