When does that happen? I’ve played through that game a couple of times but I don’t remember that reveal. It’s cool seeing someone mention it though! I feel like that game doesn’t get enough love but it’s in my top 3 RPGs.

There are many for sure, but now that I thought about it a bit, the strongest has to be me booting up and logging into World of Warcraft for the first time. Gave me such sense of wonder. And the world opening up more and more with every zone...
It's beem years since I played it the last time but the game still sticks with me anyway.

The first time a Reaper Leviathan attacks you in Subnautica.
The first time you launch a rocket in Factorio.
The first time you do a bunch of stuff in KSP.
Landing on the Mun was the first time I've ever jumped out of my chair and done a victory dance while gaming.
All of these are great picks. I'll add:
"It had to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong."

The number of people that actually remember this line from playing the game, and those that just heard it are probably very different though. Not sure the distinction matters.

The name of the friggin' gnome in the original Kings Quest on the IBM PC. Turns out I had a version with a bug in it and a spelling error.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Neither am I. It seems unique because it’s actually become a tiny part of pop culture, which, to me, is what fits the definition of “memorable”. Nobody cares about some old guy in a cave distributing wooden swords.

A certain sythe sweep near the end of Grim Fandango.
The dip in the river near the end of Bioshock Infinite.
Jumping into the thing near the end of Outer Wilds, and coming down where you come down going through what you go through.

Time to reach into that icebox for that cockatrice corpse, since pit traps aren't a thing there

wrote last edited by [email protected]That time I was playing Quake and I said 'I'm cocked, locked and ready to rock' and someone else said "You shouldn't lock your cock. Cocks should be free!"
It technically happened in a video game and I will never forget it.
But also getting Strogified in Quake 4.

Lifting the Master Sword in Link to the Past
Beating Melenia in Elden Ring
Jumping through the first painting in Super Mario 64
Bad:
Playing LoL the first and only time
Playing Burning Crusade for WoW at release and picking up the first blue item in the first area that made my Tier 3 items I worked months for, completely obsolete.

I remember playing Hollow Knight lost in an area really needing a bench. I found a coin slot in a room and put a coin in. A bench popped out of the ground and unfolded for me. Then a speaker popped out the wall playing some mellow music. There was a little glass window with fish swimming on the other side. I really liked the game. After that I loved it.

Glados's anger in Portal

It's such a heavy and beautiful moment in a game with a pony called buttstalion.
