Retarded_Clown_: Feb 18, 2012

So naturally I'm spending my Friday evening watching PewDiePie videos all night as I'm known to do, (PS: Check out his new series on YouTube called Scare PewDiePie! He's gets into all sort of crazy funny adventures bros!) http://youtu.be/MsplPPW7tFo (PAID ADVERTISEMENT) and it got me thinking: there are some pretty epic jump scares in video games! :spooky:

Slender, FNAF, Alien: Isolation. There's a lot to choose from. Scary games are hot right now. :bandwagon:

Especially now a days now that horror games are being played by YouTube superstars like PewDiePie and Markiplier (my two personal favorites.mseriously, if you've never seen their channels check them out).So, I guess what I'm asking here is What were some of the worst for you, pimps?? Let's hear some of your most memorable jump scare stories.

-The dogs jumping through the window in Resident evil. :gonk:

When this happened, I had to simply put down the controller, lie down, try not to cry, cry.

-Pretty much all of Doom 3. :russbus:

John Romero did indeed make me his bitch with all the times I was scared shitless in D3. Now matter how many hours I played, I still would be surprised by a closet opening and an enemy coming out after picking up an item. Scary stuff. Not to mention how dark it is. I had to listen to the Spooky Scary song on YouTube for a few hours just to calm down. :yohoho:

-Cliff racers. loving...Cliff. Racers. 'Nuff said. :derp:

Let's hear some of your hair-raisingest tales of game Jumpscares that made you not sleep at night. :morning:

If you're looking for a truly fresh take on the horror game experience, check out Slender. It takes an already terrifying premise and revitalizes the horror genre with outstanding gameplay.
