The 11 Biggest Facepalms In Gaming

Posted on Tuesday, March 27 @ 15:06:41 Eastern by


5) Where Do I Hit It For Massive Damage Again?


Double dipping in the Sony E3 2006 press conference seems so natural when you're putting a list of epic facepalms together. Who knew Sony had a whole lineup of dudes ready to shove their foots in their mouths on stage? While the battles in Genji might not have been as historically accurate as originally claimed, the pain felt real after gamers everywhere collectively slapped their hands to their foreheads.


4) Peter Moore Pumps It Up To 11 On Stage


"Dude, what the fuck man. We had a totally perfect score going on here. If we're ever on stage again playing Rock Band you'd better not fuck our score up. OK, man? Now start packing the van, Peter." - Actual quote from Alex Rigopolous after the stage performance

"Face, meet palm." - Everyone watching.


3) Anything With The Kinect


This is not the time, nor the place for stuff like this. C'mon, people! You do rehearse this stuff right? You realize what it looks like, right? Also, that Kudo guy just seems like such a douche, right? I'd slap him if my palm wasn't so busy keeping my face warm.


2) Uh... Um... This Guy.


Oh, dude, c'mon.... just stop. When you were born the doctor didn't slap you or your mother. He was too busy hiding his face from the shame.


1) Xbox Live


All parties involved need to be removed from the human genepool. Let's just hope their personalities will naturally take care of that for us. I just... I can't keep going. Thank God, this is the end of the list.

    I debated putting them on this list. Let's say they're number 12... tied with Metacritic user review scores.

    The Skyrim and Wii one are more laughable than facepalmable for me. And what actual man buys those Angry Birds clothes?

    You forgot something. Multiplayer on PSN I dare say the whole premise is a facepalm within itself

    You're right. Not initially providing every douchebag and little twerp with a mic is a complete fail.

    extra this, plus an obligatory PSN>XBL, nothing like paying to unlock the multiplayer of a game, then while paying them a fee, still having your dashboard have ads on it, Yay! gotta love ads with a pay service /facepalm.

    Theres a reason we don't have ps3s... We like good live service and want our information kept private. You get what you pay for... At least you get a Blu ray player

    keep on paying for nothing, maybe with the next xbox they will up the fees and give you even less.

    also, your a fool if you think any company is immune to hacking, and FYI, people have had accounts hacked on xbox live, and iinformation stolen, so have fun paying for for that too.

    I like how everyone assumes all the people that play on consoles are from the northern hemisphere.

    I'm surprised Jamie Kennedy during Activision's conference wasn't mentioned.

    Couldn't find a video clip. They've erased it from the history books.

    does every one of these kinds of lists have to have "kids on xbox live" as the top pick? yes, we get it, they're annoying, put something else at the top that not only applies to peoeple who love playing online and come up with an original list

    I love how the mum steps in to try and reslove the issue on a moral basis, however has no issue with letting her 10 yr old kid play an 18 rated game, if people took notice of those ratings then maybe we could once and for eradicate the annoying little kids on mics in these games!
