This Troper once spawn in Madagascar in Pandemic II. I didn't spread anywhere else and didn't have the points to be deadly.

This troper's driving test. Specifically the parking. Whether or not he pulls it off seems to be randomly determined by some form of higher power.

This troper has to agree. He passed on his first shot, but just barely. And the driving portion only lasted ~10 minutes.

Earlier, while playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, I had a particularly unlucky situation. Going from one floor into another, only to land directly in a Monster House (If you've never played it, think 10 enemies all attacking you at the same time...), and then be unlucky enough not only to have my attacks repeatedly miss, but the enemy's attacks to repeatedly hit! Needless to say, I ran out of almost all my Reviver Seeds and Oran Berries, but managed to just about survive. The worst bit though, is that only a few floors after that I ran into ANOTHER Monster House and was easily defeated. It really felt that Arceus had it in for me there...

In Pokemon Leaf Green I was trying to get Zapdos. After a few tries (one where I KO'd it, one where it was one turn away from struggling and only had 1 hp, and one where I accidentally ran away) I was really getting annoyed. I did the same thing as before (beat it almost to death and False Swiped it down to 1 hp) but didn't bother using hypnotize (it didn't seem to help). Then I tossed an Ultra Ball... and got it on my first try. This was good, except now I have Moltres and Articuno left and know it's possible to get them without a status effectand it's also possible to catch them with a regular Poke Ball tossed at the beginning of the match, which doesn't make things better.

I was playing OregonTrail II and was only a few miles from the Rogue River Valley, when I got really unlucky and the wagon tipped on a steep hill five times. Wagon train morale plunged to zero, and I got fired.

And on a more recent journey, I died from an accidental gunshot on the first round of hunting. The rifle sheath apparently does nothing.

Reminds me of my first time playing Oregon Trail III. Decided to hunt right after setting out, had a ricochet, died immediately.

During one of the Missions of Blood Wake I was provided with nothing more then a fast speed boat with pathetic armaments, had to race into the middle of an enemy harbor, bristling with very powerful turrets and a patrol boats, grab 3 chests, and then race back out. If I got hit by the turrets, the shockwave would send my boat into the air, and if that happens it's virtually impossible to get any traction when I land and avoid the other 10 shooting at me. Plus, the chests are situated on ramps, which have the potential to do the same thing, OR throw me onto the pier, which is an instant game over if I'm not careful. And yes, the small boat has very little health, with only a few health crates situated around. And that was on the ''easiest'' setting.

This troper has a literal and a tabletop wargame example. The literal one: whenever he takes command of a boat, whether he drives safely or like a drunken lunatic depends on how focused he on the task, which can vary RADICALLY. The tabletop wargame one: the chances of him winning a game seems to depend on how unlucky his opponent is. Before people point out that that is how wargaming works, consider that the number of times he has won can be counted on one hand, and he has been playing said game for two years, it seems that his luck is hilariously bad. Not even joking, it seems that Friday the 13th is a LUCKY day for him (I was bored and rolled 3 dice. All of them came up the same number. On one roll). Surprisingly, he is very good at card games, even with less than reasonable cards, which seems to make up for the dice.

This Troper was playing RedFaction: Guerilla, mission "Ashes to Ashes", when the artillery fire (which is supposed to only be thematic) destroyed my objective. No less than 5 times in a row (ok, 4 and I got killed by a Marauder, sue me.)

This troper distinctly remembers playing a round of Mario Party 3 with 1 player vs. 3 [=CPUs=], and watching, incredulously, as one of the aforementioned [=CPUs=] rolled the die and got a star on the first roll of the first turn. Needless to say, the N64 got turned off fairly quickly. Oddly, much like the example on the main page, the [=CPU=] who received the star was Luigi... I'm calling a plumber conspiracy.
