What's the best way to die in a video game?

[skykiii]

Video games are a good way to die without getting yourself killed.

So what's the best way you ever died in a video game? (Also go ahead and post funny youtubes or whatever)

 

[A Cat in a Minefield]

Mostly fall damage

 

[Grub]

In GoldenEye I used to like piling as many remote mines as I could on the computers in that snow bunker level and blowing up the entire command room with me inside of it just to see how big of an explosion I could make.

Rance games/ being killed by a succubus, I suppose?

IF YOU DIE IN THE GAME YOU DIE IN REAL LIFE FRFR NO CAP

dysentery

 

[Street Peter]

Jumping off an apartment building in DayZ after searching 13 other apartment buildings and finding no loot..

Any gut-wrenching, unforgettable tragedy you could have prevented 5 turns back while staring at the stairs to victory in your classic roguelike of choice.

Funniest one I've had while playing ADOM was deciding to manage my inventory by zapping un-ID'd rods to see what was worth keeping, with the third one turning out to be a rod of lightning bolt. Instead of being asked which direction I want to fire it towards, it shits out a bouncing bolt in a random direction which happens to be perpendicular to the 1x1 hallway I'm standing in. RIP Bossman the Ratling warrior, winning a 9x electric jackpot in one turn.

I decided to dismount in Skyrim shortly after loading a save. It launched me across the province face first into a mountain.
Similar death in HL2 MMOD with gibbing enabled, a grenade I threw propelled a brick so hard it made my character explode on contact.

In Obi-Wan (XBox) I stubbed my toe on some garbage and died.

Similar death in HL2 MMOD with gibbing enabled, a grenade I threw propelled a brick so hard it made my character explode on contact.

Almost reminds me of a player in Halo 3 getting splattered by a trafic cone. Now that was a great way to die in a video game.

I don't think I played much of ADOM but I recall Nethack was a goldmine for dying in hilarious ways. I think one thing that happened to me was I drank a potion and got turned into a lizard, and then got killed by the crushing weight of my armor... Actually I can't recall if that's a thing that can actually happen, and it may have been in some text adventure rather than Nethack.

In Grand Theft Auto V: Steal a plane, take it as high over Los Santos as you can, jump out without a parachute, enjoy the temporary freedom of floating through the world, hit the pavement face first.

Aim rocket launcher at your feet and just end it all.

 

[Book Thief]

I've always been fond of adventure game deaths, particularly that of Quest For Glory's. Seeing all the different and unique ways you can fail, and being given a description of how badly you screwed up makes finding the ways to get yourself killed half the fun.

 

[WarrenZHarding]

Getting murdered by a guy after you fuck his wife in Crusader Kings.

 

[Meth Dick]

In GTA IV I remember getting killed by cops shotgun going off after he dropped it, that was pretty neat.

IF YOU DIE IN THE GAME YOU DIE IN REAL LIFE FRFR NO CAP

So if you die in real life you die in the game?

 

[Back me up!]

Dropping a 500K bomb on my feet to take out as many Enemies as Freedom as I can so the rest of the squad can get away with the samples.

Best way to die is getting physics launched into a wall at Mach-Fuck ala Helldivers
