Strangest way you've died in a Game

[Therumancer]

Would be hard to pick a way considering some of the Adventure games I played during their heyday, some of which were intended to be humorous in the way they killed you.

Having an Antwerp fall on you in Hero Quest (later renamed Quest For Glory) sticks in my mind however.

On at least one occasion, a situation would come up in Fallout 3 where I'd brush past a wrecked car, causing it to fly hundreds of feet into the air. I actually killed a deathclaw when one of these cars crash landed on its head. It was like something out of Looney Toons.

My worst death was in Stalker, where I was bitten by a wild dog, propelling me into the skybox.

In Morrowind I was walking in Vivec when I fell through the floor to magically reappear in the sky right before falling again to my unavoidable death.

I used to keep a flash drive of screenshots in games when I did something cool or strange. This is possibly the weirdest of all. I got this while playing Deus Ex.

I don't think I need to say anymore.

What about you? What is the strangest way you've died in game?

Maybe it's just me, but your image doesn't seem to be working and you've made me really curious.

OT, playing the Mercenaries 2 demo, I crashed a helicopter into a billboard, blowing the chopper and the billboard to pieces. I fell to the ground, magically unharmed, stood up, and before I could move a giant chunk of the billboard fell on me and killed me. It was pretty funny, because the way it landed my head was sticking out from underneath.

Might as well use someone else's death message for this.
Look at the last few lines of text, starting at "latest messages". [http://alt.org/nethack/userdata/UltiMike/dumplog/1211469330.nh343.txt]

However, the weirdest death was in the demo for (Peter Jackson's) King Kong. The game doesn't work right with multi-core processors or hyperthreading. It would have been a great option for speedrunning if the game was interested in more than just horizontal acceleration. Those stairs in the opening of the game.. got 2 steps up before I got launched through, I managed to get halfway up once but then I got stuck and crushed by an invisible wall.

Dungeons and Dragons, two times.

1: My portable hole carrying all my arrows got disenchanted (I hate disjunction) and all the contents were ejected. Naturally, a full 10ft diameter 10ft deep hole of arrows began spraying out of it.

2: I cast sleep on a giant spider directly above me, it fell and crushed me. Curse you 6 str and terrible reflex saves >_>

randomly falling through the floor has happened to me in far too many games over the years. Not necessarily strange though annoying was being hit by a stray no scope attempt in MW2, only way that it can be considered strange is the sheer amount of luck required for that kind of kill.

In Re4 before you get on that boat. I was shooting those fish and then... That big mother-fish came out and ate me. WTF?

Lol, yeah I just tried that half an hour ago after reading that and the same thing happened to me.

Oh and on Resistance Fall of Man I shot my Auger at a wall and ran around to the other end of the wall and the bullet hit me and ended up killing me, lol.

I was playing Borderlands and was in a gunner seat for a car, the driver I was with drove up to the edge of the map then hit me off the cliff killing me. I raged, then lol'd.

 

[rezboyjoey]

Only random/funny death I can think of that wasn't the result of a glitch in the game was when I was crushed by a helicopter I had just shot down in MW2.

What about you? What is the strangest way you've died in game?

So I saw that your image wasn't working so I took the liberty of fixing that for you.

The weirdest way I've ever died is just tripping and dieing once in BC2. I dunno what happened I just dropped dead.

The image works perfectly fine for me. It's probably just you.

 

[mooncalf]

Can it be someone else? Because I once saw the wreckage of a BF2 F-18 fall out of the sky and crush a friendly troop who never knew what hit him.

I was teleported into a wall in spelunky, without using the teleporter

It still doesn't work for me.

Whether it was me, or your mother, or that squirrel or a stack of waffles, it wasn't working and I fixed it... So there.

GTA: San Andreas had quite a few humorous ways to die, the most annoying being the infamous parachute failure glitch.

Let me tell you, though, it's been 6 years and planes falling out of the sky randomly STILL doesn't get old. You can't really be mad when one falls on top of your car, it's just so darn funny.

Oh, and GTA IV's ragdoll physics get fun when Niko flies across the street and dies from ball crunch when his crotch hits a lamppost... *sigh*, we're too violent sometimes.

Call of duty 3 eder dam backed up to far and fell through the map

I don't remember being killed oddly, but during the "protect the shopkeeper" fighter's guild quest in oblivion, one of the bandits walked in and like died of the plauge or something. he walked in and just sort of fell over. I killed the other bandits then my brother and I started thinking up funny ways he may of died (heart attack, liver disease ect.)
