We all have been bound to have played at least one game, so difficult or simply, so annoying that it has made you want to kill yourself or something for not being able to beat it. We've all been there. For awhile, I had Halo/Halo 2 on Legendary, Halo 2 I have not yet beaten due to a lack of commitment to actually play (got to Outskirts, got past all the one-shot KO Jackal snipers with a bit of ease, but got sidetracked trying to find the IWHBYD Skull - y'know, stuff like that). I have now found my nemesis..
Abadox.
Most of you might have watched the videos from Gamespot of 'masoumi' and his unsuccessful attempts at trying to play Abadox, and so have I. I heard he eventually beat it, but the general knowledge of the game being at a nigh-legendary amount of difficulty was made well known. So, I figured, hey, this doesn't seem too bad. I decided to give it a try.
...
I spent three days trying to beat the first level. THREE DAYS. I could have been writing during that time, but no, I was trying to get past the first level of the game. I don't know what makes it so hard - I just can't put my finger on it, but it freaking irritates me. I'm currently on stage 3, or whatever the hell it is called, my shirt is soaking in sweat from a combination of the heat wave around my area and from having to constantly dodge all the little enemy...balls...things...whatever the freakin' hell they are called...When I close my eyes, I can see myself fruitlessly trying to dodge and shoot at those alien...enemy...things...ARRAGH!!
Damn you, Abadox! Leave me alone! Stop taunting me! AAARRRHH!!

So, what about everybody else here? Any horror stories to swap? Any achievements or noble failures? Discuss.
