Everybody has that instance where they come so close to achieving something, but fall short... What is yer most memorable occasion of such a happening?

Mine was when recent, on New Years morning, at like 3am XD Me and my mates were trying to get past a certain drag race in NFS: Underground, and, well, it was my turn up racing. Bloody hell, me and the com were neck to neck, i'd already used my nitrous and the finish line was right ahead of me... Then suddenly the dude speeds up a bit, not a nitrous shot defintley, he'd already used it, and beats me by 0.01 seconds! Bloody HELL! I haven't touched the game since xD

Yeah...with the game to get Tidus' sigil. We eventually got the sigil, but a lot of times me and my brother tried, we missed like one or two balloons.

Most recently, in FFX-2, calibrating the 7th tower on the thunder plains. I had the 29th number entered correctly, but....I never made it to 30. *groans*

Once I almost complete D&D: Warriors Of the Eternal Sun for the Genesis, but some monster came and killed three of my party leaving one badly wounded. I was almost at the Beyonder, only that the monster was blocking the way. He only had a +1 bow equipped (I think), and it didn't do very much damage at all. Then the monster caught up with me. Game Over.

I accidently saved over an almost completed save of FF7. I had completed almost all the side quests and aquaired alot of rare materia. ANGER!!

Gran Turismo 3... Trying to get your license! Gah! What a pain in the ass. Everytime I'd be doing just fine and dandy until the last curve or something and I'd screw it up.

I hear ya on PES3 Zel...boy dont i know it...

For sheer frustration though, Tidus Sigil as Destructo says, can make you tear your hair out..You get hit..then hit before you move...ARGGHHH...especially when you think youve crossed the finishing line too.

I second that!
Same exact tower, same number of processes, but I failed the last one. However, I got it eventually.
