My proudest moment is probably when I first played Maokai in LoL, after having been one of the players who participated in the forum RP that established his backstory.
My best moment - ever - in gaming was when I played Final Fantasy VII on the Playstation - both my kids played it too, and they had the habit of "helping" Mom play through difficult bits in other similar games. BUT I played the game totally by myself, and I BEAT Sephiroth - after 35 tries (the last boss fight)!
My proudest moment in gaming was beating New Super Mario Bros on the Wii with my 9-year-old daughter. This was last year (yes, I still have and love the Wii).

When my daughter was around 3-years-old, I decided to teach her how to play video games. I believe video games promote hand/eye coordination as well as teach problem solving skills. I chose New Super Mario Bros because it's fairly simple as far as the controls go, and I knew the music and brightly colored characters and scenery would entertain her. I taught her how to hold the Wiimote and use the buttons. I would play with her and try not to run off screen or get killed while she jumped around or (more often) ran straight into enemies and died. That was the way the game went for a long time.

What do you expect? She was three.

She did, of course, eventually get the hang of the game. Neither of us are huge gamers, but over the years we would sit down together one or two nights a week and continue our game wherever we left off the last time. We would laugh together, get frustrated together, and laugh together because we were so frustrated. It was a great way for a father and daughter to bond.

Last year, we finally beat the game we started when she was 3-years-old. The look of accomplishment on her face (probably mine too) melted my heart. We laughed and shouted and danced around the living room. It wasn't until later that I realized we had never once restarted the game. From that very first time when I put the Wiimote in her hands and cupped them in mine so I could show her how to press the buttons, we had always just continued the game. We had been playing the same game for six years, and we finally beat it together.

That was my proudest video game moment. And one of my proudest moments, period.
My proudest gaming moment was when I finished getting every achievement in Celeste earlier this year. It took over 50 hours and 17k deaths, but I managed to do it all, without using assists. The moment when I finally finished chapter 9 after hours of trying the last checkpoint is one of my favorite gaming memories.
My proudest moment when gaming was when I played DOOM Eternal and killed a huge monster while jumping between platforms and turning around mid air.
My best moment would definitely be every time I play as the Serpent Clan in Battle Realms. Amassing musketeers and having them occupy key locations in the map has been a stellar tactic . Any living breathing creature gets annihilated as soon as they get in range of the musketeer sniper rifles. I enjoy it most when my opponents try to rush with horse, in which the sniper scope is most effective against. And even if some get closed enough to threaten my positions, I have a few cannoneers with smokeballs to stop clusters of enemies for a good chunk of time for my melee to swarm them. As for the bulk of my melee, I employ swordsmen to remove battle gear from enemies, like for instance the samurai with their battle gear that negates missile damage.

My proudest moment was when i could afford to buy a pc or gaming laptop. been stick with intel g41 since 2010 to 2016.
wllmy childhood times was in internet cafes playing an online mmos and learning languages and having friends. that since 2002
dreamt to have pc until. 2010 i bought g41 which had integrated intel. gpu too. i couldn't play any games like call of duty or battlefield. tried many times playing with 9-12 fps on low graphics

when i finally get an gaming laptop i couldnt afford to buy games since they are really expensive. and either make a living to eat and do my responsibilities or buying games.
life not fair sometimes i know its hard for most peoples especially those who taking care of themselves and there no one to look. up to.
by any chance will bannerlord be discounted or give away?
My proudest gaming moment was many years ago, when I managed to beat Wolfenstein 3D using only the knife. Kind of personal challenge, since there were no achievements back then.
My proudest moment ever was ---- when i went head to head with my cousin in tekken on an arcade machine --- back in the day. He was a tekken champ, one day he bet, if i can beat him up in tekken he would buy me a PS1, i was not as good as him on tekken, so i went to practice, hardcore. After two weeks we went to nearby arcade shop as promised, we both tried hard, it was a very close match but i won. I was so happy that i finally beat him, i also won my first console, PS1, that day!!!
My proudest moment was when I worked out my ass for 2 years and got a high rank I my exam and my father bought me a gaming laptop and I played my first next gen game ever.. I had only played gta vice city till I was 18 and now I am 19 and I played gta 5 and valorant for the first time...
A summer quite some years ago, one of my best friends and I discovered the game Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword.

That summer the expression mount and bladed was born for us. It's when you hit immersion level over 9000! For 3 straight weeks that game was life. My friend and I even met an evening during this period for some beers at a pub, but after one beer, we both looked at each other and said. I'm way to mount and bladed to do this, so we both went home and played that game. It was warm that summer in Sweden aswell, so we both missed out on a lot of nice weather.

But it was one of the best gaming summers I've ever had. The summer I got Mount and bladed. And during the gameplay of this time, when I got my first castle with one village. That was my proudest gaming moment.
Talking about proudest gaming moment, I remember that last year I played a horror FPS called Metro: Last Light. It was my first time playing horror FPS but I enjoyed its atmosphere very much and I felt that I was really inside the metro. Every time I escaped from the emeries or monsters, I was very proud that I defeated all the emeries by myself. I have defeated the fear, both the fear from the emeries and from my mind. When the story came to an end, I felt like I had a great adventure by myself and I was the strongest now.
Well my proudest moments in memory were definitely achieved over 33 years ago playing Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards with my best friend on his older brothers i80286 with pc-speaker sound and cga screen. As kids with very little knowledge of the english language but great hormone driven curiosity towards naughty stuff in computer games, we were proud to finally pass the inital questions to enter the game (with a lot of trial and error and asking the older brother) and be considered "adults" by the game. We did all the adult stuff we could, drinking, flirting, getting the knack of gambling, calling nearly every possible numer in the telephone booth and expanding our english vocabulary beyond what kids our age should know.
I may have done bigger and better things in a lot of games but Dark Souls is on another level. I managed to complete the whole game without any cheats or aides but I've never had a physical response to a game as much as I did when I played Dark Souls. In particular, when I finally got the ability to fast travel around the bonfires I almost cried with relief and joy. I didn't even feel that moved when my kids were born so that's got to be worth something :)

That's pretty cool! Seeing a character you helped make come to life on the screen must be a lonely moment to see.
