Hey gamers, apologies for the by week and the late question. I'll be holding this one till Sunday to give everyone more time to respond. If you're new, I hit up the PC Gamer staff and forums for their answers to a regular Weekend Question and publish the answers in an article on the site. If you'd like your answer to be considered for this week's question, please share it in this thread!
This week's question is: Has anyone walked in on you during an embarrassing moment in a game?
I often find myself haunted by an observation from former PC Gamer editor Samuel Roberts on The Back Page podcast: there is no sight more unwholesome than that of an adult lit only by the light of a computer monitor. That supremely gruesome vibe is only maximized if someone you love ever has the misfortune of walking in on you when two "choombas" are bumping uglies in Cyberpunk 2077, or, god forbid, you're Naked Raiden getting choked by his stepfather who was also the president in Metal Gear Solid 2.
I have always been supremely tactical about approaching such content when sharing a house with someone else, but there have been some close calls. Have you ever had someone stumble in at just the wrong time while you were gaming?
