FF13. Just made it to Pulse, and out of the mountains. See my first Adamantoise.
Me: Surely that thing's not an enemy. Maybe it's a mode of transportation.
Run up to said 'tortoise
*battle start*
Me: Oh, sweet monkey Jesus. *paradigm shift to SEN/MED/SYN*
'tortoise: *stomp*
Insta-death. Fairly embarassing, if only for the futile paradigm shift.

Someone's never played zelda...Quite possibly the most embarrassing death is being mobbed by the feathered fiends.Spiner909 said:
Either that or running over myself in a couple of games. You know how in some you can get out but the vehicle keeps moving, and can in some cases crush you? That really sucks
I'm pretty sure everyone's gotten bored and decided to see what happens when they attack the chickens, and then died in a mass of feathery rage.Calatar said:
As for my "most embarrassing" death, the first Goomba in SMB3.
Oh, thanks, that really narrows it down. /sarcasmantigodoflife said:
OT: Most embarrassing death was when i got killed by an alleycat while playing Moria (Nethack/Rogue clone). I hadn't even gone into the first dungeon yet.
Oh, and Zork 1. Not my fault, but every time that stupid thief came through and stole my ivory torch after the lamp died. Damn grue.
[sub]hah! wonder how many people will remember that one![/sub]
HIM!
He's the new boxing champion in my saved game... 150 victories... and 3 defeats... I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE JOE!

Fell down some stairs comes to mind, though there are far worse ones I am sure. Many stupid errors in my behalf, others glitches in games... this is just what is in mind right now.
I was running down a flight of stairs in BF2 and the game gave me lethal falling damage. All I can assume is the character tripped and broke his neck.

I can't count the number of times I've bounced a grenade off a friends head and had it land between my legs.
Grenades are my nemesis...when combined with my friends head.

Recently, I was playing Banjo-Tooie on XBLA, on the Hailfire Peaks level.
I had died as the snowball, so I knew I would respawn at the entrance to Humba Wumba's Wigwam.
So I held up on the control stick, thinking I would go immediately through the door.
Instead, thanks to the control setup for the snowball transformation, your character does not move immediately in the direction that you tilt the stick, but instead turns while moving, starting from the direction he is facing until he is rolling in the direction you are pointing.
He was facing down(ish, looking towards the screen), and I tilted up, so my snowball made a quick turn (at full speed) counter-clockwise and careened straight into a fire. Died instantly.
So that life lasted for about a second.
It was pretty hilarious and infuriating at the same time.

I have died in a number of embarassing ways, too many to count.
Although, I did humiliate a guy in MW2 a couple hours ago. I went AFK for a minute or so and as soon as I got my hands back on the controller, a guy rushed me with the knife and I got an awesome quick-scope kill on him. I honestly don't know how I did it, considering the fact that I have dead-cat-like reflexes.
