The most embarrassing thing you've ever died to in a video game.

[FalloutJack]

Embarassing death, you say? Alright.

Heh, let's see... Ah yes, the bomb gambit. So, I was preparing the biggest explosive trap ever in...well, I do this in alot of games, actually...and what happens is that sometimes, I do it wrong. The inconceivably-large amount of explosives set in one place either gets the target or gets me or both. If it gets me, it's because I hit the wrong trigger and BOOM. Hoisted by my own petard. If it's both me and the target, it's because I misjudged the blast radius of fifty explosives ready to pop.

 

[The Giggling Pin]

my own predator missle (MW2)

I've done that, I just facepalm and pray that nobody noticed.

As for myself, the most recent that I can think of would be dying while trying to cross the road in GTA4 to get a much needed hot dog. I should have looked both ways...

I do that almost every other time i get that weapon. I also seem to have a habit of shooting myself when i am the heli gunner or in the AC-130....I don't think i should be allowed killstreaks.

Barrels 'o' Fun in Doom 2... nuff said.
A trap in the Oblivion starting area.
Falling having my levitate spell run out in Morrowind somewhere over a valley between two very high mountains.
Realizing why the guy that you get the scrolls of incarion flight from fell out of the sky.
Death by the Boots of Blinding speed.
A bloatfly... of course it had just killed 3 enclave guys 2 giant radscorpions and a deathclaw, but a bloatfly is what did me in.
Somehow I once blew up Megaton while I was in the town, no fucking clue how but I did it.
A radroach in the vault... I had it on very hard and had just used all of my ammo killing some of the vault police.
I was once killed by my own horse in Oblivion.
I killed myself with a rocket impacting the back of Sheva's head in RE5... earllier tonight in fact.

I was playing L4D2 a couple of days ago I was playing Versus mode on Hard Rain and in the first Safe Room I fell through the floor. I felt really guilty because 2 of my team-mates rage quit leaving one guy to finish the rest of it by himself.

One time I died in Brawl by falling through a solid platform.

Just about every single thing in I wanna Be The Guy especially when playing it near other people (one time I was playing it at school because I finished an assessment early, I could hear the people behind me mocking me for every death).

 

[Outright Villainy]

killed by the companion ball from portal

This right here. Oh sure, the companion cube is your friend, but the companion ball is the harbringer of death if you're not careful!

You know, it's heavy and stuff...

Also in Gta: vice city I went on a huge rampage, maybe 5 or 6 star wanted level, only to die by tripping over a step. Yeah.

 

[Timeslament]

A Companion Cube in Portal if I remember correctly, or doing a back flip in OoT and falling to my death.

 

[Indecipherable]

Myself from my own explosions, countless times.

 

[Distorted Stu]

Assassins creed, whent to jump assassinate a guard. While i was in mid-air, the guard started to chase a theif or something, ending in me complete overshooting my target and swiftly diving into the water behind him.

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

A Bloatfly in Fallout 3

my own predator missle (MW2)

I can 1up that, my own care package

 

[Harold Donchee]

A box. I ran through some red smoke on MW2 and thought, "Oh good. A teammate has a supply package. Maybe it'll be something good for him." I keep running then BOOM! Head trauma.

 

[Totenkopf]

my own predator missle (MW2)

I can 1up that, my own care package

Oh boys, I can back this too, my own semtex...

 

[mexicola]

Probably... beaten to death by some pedestrian in San Andreas because I was already bleeding my guts out from some previous shootout.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

See Halo's Traffic Cone on page 33.

 

[MONTGOMERYWOODRUFF69]

That would have to be the time I dropped a grenade at my feet playing GTA-4, oops just didn't quite cut it.

 

[Nicolefranklin]

Was playing Neverwinter Nights with a few mates, one of them had completed it before, so he was guiding us through it. I hadn't played a PC game for a good ten years at this time, so I was doing very poorly, trying to figure out the controls. About half an hour in, we find a trap door, I got asked if I had the skill to open it, goes up to it, finds out that's a no, and then instead of exiting the little pop-up menu thingie, I activated the trap.
Facepalming all around, and I quit.

 

[Kramcake2516]

Has to be my own mortar strike on Badcompany 2 called it in not seeing i was aming it on the leaf from the tree I was sitting under so dropped it right on my head ............ EPIC FAIL

 

[AnAngryMoose]

my own predator missle (MW2)

I can 1up that, my own care package

I've done that with my VERY FIRST Care Package. And numerous times after. The most embarrassing though was when it landed, rolled over and fell on my toes.

Oh, so YOU'RE the number 2 P.A.B!
