The Worst Journey in the WorldAspley Cherry Garrard was the youngest member of the Scott Polar Expedition when he and two others lost their tent to the winds of a night-time snowstorm. They spent hours in temperatures below -70°F stumbling about the ice floes hoping they'd bump into it as it was their only hope of survival.
OK, so that was bad, but we reckon you've had worse. We know how hard you lot are.

the worst "virtual journey" of my lifeSpent about 6 months playing World of Warcraft. Started off as an undead rogue in a graveyard, then going out and discovering brave new worlds.
This was all well and good, but as my journey progressed, the areas got less and less friendly. The enemies become more and more evil, and the money and quests become harder to achieve.
To make matters worse, the other players started turning into "l33t5", where they'd brag about finding anything slightly rare, and insult the newbies (or n00bs as they were named) until they left the server. It was a world of biased pisswater, and no mistake.
But I stuck at it, and eventually myself, in the middle of a farm at about 5 minutes walk from where I started, and 6 months worth of playing later, I hit the elusive level 60. No fanfare, no congratulations message, no ending. Just a small announcement on the bottom-left corner in yellow, and I'm still standing in the field.
I turned the game off, and immediately went down the pub. Haven't played since.
