Strangest way you've died in a Game

[Teddy Roosevelt]

Halo 3

I was playing with my friend on Valhalla, and he decided to be a smartass and floor it with a Warthog up a man cannon. I was running across the map and was spontaneously crushed by a falling vehicle.

I remember playing Grand Theft Auto IV online with a few friends and a friend wanted me to see this car he stole. So I waited on a corner and then from behind me I get hit by a car sliding around the corner. I fly in the air and get hit by a truck and die and big surprise, my friend was the one in the car.

whats that mediocre game that when you died then an angel came down out of nowhere and scooped you up? i cannot for the life of me remember. Well anyways, first time i saw that, i knew that would be the strangest death sequence i have ever seen. Can someone reply to me with the name of that game? its quite recent

You are thinking of Too Human, I do believe.

Probably any of the many deaths that can occur in G-mod due to hyperactive ragdolls. Both myself and many NPCs have been killed by walking too close to a body or pile of bodys that flailed violently enough from the incidental contact to send a person flying, themselves ragdolled.

Halo3...

I got killed by a traffic cone.

Someone shot a rocket next to it and sent it flying, the traffic cone hit me and I was killed.
It was sad.

In Duke Nukem Zero Hour, for the N64, I got killed occasionally from opening a door! That's right, if you open a door and it folds back towards you, it's rare, but there's a chance you can get caught,and it squishes you, draining your health to zero, even if you had full health! A terrible glitch, but I've done it a few times.

In The World Ends with You I have been killed by crabs, penguins, sharks, bears and kangaroos, all of which have tatoo appendages (as in the arm is a tatoo is doesn't just have tatooes)

I stabbed a sign in that xbox battlefield game it fell on me and I died

 

[Vishnu Namboodiripad]

in uncharted, at this library level, I jumped onto sullivan, who was just standing there. Then, I kept on floating above the npcs head and the falling animation kept playing. I was frozen in midair, falling down nowhere. I apparent hit something and died. Even though I was 1 inch above an npc's head. his has also happened in numerous ratchet and clank games.

 

[zHellas]

glitch in Ratchet& Clank 1 where i fell through the floor of the first planet, onto the final boss. because it wasnt activated yet, there were no platforms so i just fell and died.

That must have been a spoiler!

I was playing search in cod4 and some guy shot his gun through two walls and killed me. He was actully aiming for me. A close call came in MW2 i was playing search with a friend and as i stood in a spot guarding a plant site i decided to crouch. Just as i hit the button a bullet from an engaugment came through four walls and was where my head was seconds ago.

 

[Inco]

I was killed my a mudcarb.

It was dark and I panicked Okay! Its the games fault for the overly dramatic music at a mudcrab encounter. I thought I was being beat by a troll, I never even looked down!

Now why does the line from the game "I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than you!" Seem to come straight to my mind when reading this?

Halo 3, not my death, but a friends. We had just beaten the scarab on 'the ark' and instead of running away as it is set to explode, we thought it was a good thing to throw down a bubble shield right next to the exploding vehicle and stand there, laughing at the poor convenent running for cover. The Scarab blew up, killing everything in the radius that is pre-determined but leaving us thanks to the sheild.
Of course, we didn't see the leg of the scarab fall in our direction and killing my friend in the other half of the sheild, but missing me by centimetres. I was laughing so hard at my friend for his bad luck.

 

[GhostPhantasm]

Gta4 i was run over by a flaming car, rolled with the car, car explodes, i glitch through the street into nothingness and explode again

 

[rt052192]

boredom, while playing final fantasy

 

[carzydude1]

this didn't happen to me but i did this weird kill. i sniped a guy through the head with the M95 sniper rifle and just as i pulled the trigger his buddy spawned behind him and my bullet went through the head of the first guy and into the other killing them both.

I was killed by a Semtex Grenade stuck to a teammate in Modern Warfare 2 on PS3. There's even a Challenge for that so that guy apparently achieved it. Was kinda funny too.

I fell through the floor of an elevator in Sonic Adventure DX on the Gamecube. Then again, this shouldn't be surprising.

I fell through a bridge in Bram Stoker's Dracula for Sega CD just like the Angry Video Game Nerd did. Apparently he was right about that spot.

A bird flew into the tassel of my helmet in Leander on the Amiga. (I know it's just basic sprite hit detection but it was a little weird in context.)

Dying from diarrhea in Oregon Trail for the Apple II. (If anyone is old enough to remember this...still funny shit.)

 

[gostchiken]

In a D&D campaign we were teleported to a random location, which happened to be in the middle of the ocean, I fail to get my platemail off in time and drown. Very lame.

 

[meowman]

I can't remember what game this was, some sandbox I played at a friend's house. Possibly GTA.
I was standing at the top of a skyscraper with a rocket launcher, aiming at a helicopter hovering directly below me. To get it in my sights I had to siddle up to the very edge of the skyscraper. Then came... a bird. It hit me just as I fired the rocket. I fell and hit my own rocket, got blown sky high but miraculously had a tiny portion of health left. That is, until I hit the helicopter and got minced by its whiring blades.
It was so funny I almost cried.

I was playing Oblivion on a friend's PC for a bit. After getting bored of swimming, I got out on land, and started running. For some reason, the breath bar kept draining. I was out on flat ground, could swing my weapons, etc, but he wouldn't FUCKING BREATHE! The result was seeing his final choked gasps as he fell dead on the ground from dogged determination to hold his breath.

Runner up goes to San Andreas, when I was in Grove Street, gathering homies for a particularily brutal assault on enemy territory. After collecting my posse, I began running toward the car which spawns in front of CJ's house, ignoring the sirens behind me. Lo and behold, an ambulance came out of nowhere, splattered all my gang members, and me, then drove out on the same fucking road in on which it drove! It came all the way over to Grove Street and did a U turn just to make my life difficult. I did survive, but I still feel it's worth noting, as none of my gang did.

 

[FaithorFire]

playing Mario Galaxy (not my Wii), And I long jumped around a thin cylindrical platform. I got stuck orbiting the bar for about 20 seconds and a bastard mushroom ran over to kill me.
