In L4D I TK'd Bill while I was trying to shoot a tank. As Zoey and Francis went to help Bill, I threw a molotov, which TK'd them too. It was me against the tank. I did not win.

I was playing medal of honor frontlines, and I was crawling through a vent, I came to the end of the vent and there was a group of germans in the room so I toss a grenade at them, however the grenade bounces back, lands in the vent and blasts me into oblivion.
Surely this award goes to The Campaigner from Turok, who saw fit to take on a man armed with a nuclear arsenal of village-flattening weapons (one of which the Campaigner helpfully left around the levels in bits for you to find) armed with only a pickaxe, some furry pants and what can best be described as a Dale Winton tan.

Perhaps "Leeroy Jenkins Award" would be appropriate, given that dying in a video game has no effect on your ability to reproduce (thankfully).
Anyway, I remember this one time I was playing TF2 in Steel; we were attacking point A, and you know how there's a tall wall right by the point, with a hill going up to the top of it on the attackers' side... anyway, I was a Demoman standing about halfway up that hill (because I'm not suicidal) blindly popping grenades over it hoping it might cause some chaos and clear a path for the others or something. Anyway, I've been doing this long enough for the RED team to notice that I'm doing it at least, and then this Scout pops up out of nowhere just in time to get a grenade right in the face, killing him instantly.
I wish that game had instant reply or something. Like, keeps the last ten seconds or so stored in memory so you can press a key to save it. Wouldn't have to be screen caps; just model position data.

It's really too easy to stick a plasma grenade on yourself in Halo... -_-
Okay here's the story:
I was playing through Halo 2 on Heroic mode, I had made it to the big arena room in High Charity and there were a lot of Hunters and Silver Elites about. I had a couple of really bad weapons with me so I stayed outside of the room and shot at enemies when the door opened. After about half an hour of this I threw a plasma grenade, it bounced on the wall and stuck to me...
Play me out Keyboard Cat!

Picking a wallet out from a very dirty toilet with HIS BARE HAND! - James Sunderland - Silent Hill 2
MMOs are WAY too easy to find stupid people in; Left 4 Dead too as I've had more than a fair share of people who start "horde" events before we're ready, jump on cars with alarms, get puked on by every single Boomer, startle every Witch, and die every thirty seconds or so - basically the "Leeroy" mentality. On a personal note, I went to rifle-butt a zombie off a teammate in L4D near the edge of the top portion of the hospital level so we could watch the poor bastard fall to his death - I hit the teammate instead, sending HIM to his death. Luckily we both laughed it off in voice chat.Glaceis said:
I'd also personally like to nominate Edge from Star Ocean 4 for essentially single-handedly blowing up the planet Earth for his failure and every single person in WoW who bought my own bullshit suggestions in the same vein as Glaceis (that guy I sent into the World Tree area of Winterspring looking for Archimonde's corpse probably still isn't happy with me).
I was playing BattleField Vietnam, and there was a bridge between two islands, somebody left a tank sprawled across the bridge, with no way to move it without taking a dive into the river. Two of my team mates rolled up in another tank, but instead of something smart, they tried to drive over it. They flipped over and landed upside down in the river, exploding after a few seconds, with them failing to get out when it hit the water. Then as I watched their tank explode, two more of my team mates rolled up in ANOTHER tank, and tried the same thing, killing themselves in the same way.
