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

[Theron Julius]

Failing a jump across a lava pit. I thought I was supposed to jump on that thing that looked like a rock and jump the rest of the way. Ends up the rock wasn't meant to be stood on, so I fell in. Apparently you were supposed to just sprint and jump right over.

TF2 - Rocket jumping to get on top of a building, overshooting and landing right on a moving train...

Probably back in the good old days of Runescape(you know you used to play it too.) i was lvl 40 or so at the time killing like a goblin or something really low level and had to go(emergency couldn't log-out), I accidentally clicked to move away from it a little when i left and guess what? Didn't have auto-retaliate on. Lost like 20k loads of money for me at the time.

My own grenades. Just think of any game that has grenades, a grenade launcher, or rocket launcher. Somehow, I've killed myself with them.

Also, in Modern Warfare 2, I somehow managed to kill myself with my own throwing knife. Don't ask me how, I'm still trying to figure that one out.

in B:BC2 I took out half my squad with a grenade when someone ran in front of me, also in MW2 I had my own supply crate land om my head, not as bad as yours but close.

Shoot A Rocket Launcher Into "Andrew Okionny" Big fat Shit-flinging monkey Ass

 

[Anoos]

A rat in oblivion.
Got stuck in a corner, rat attacks and staggers me. Rat attacks again and staggers me.
Repeat for 2 minutes of being stuck and slooooowly being headbutted to death by a rat

For me, it's the time where I hit a Banshee with a charged Plasma Pistol in Halo ODST Firefight, and it fell on top of me.

 

[Jewpacabra]

having a tiny bit o' health left and on bad guy in a group left in arkham asylum. you miss countering his attack and die by way of kick to the shin

 

[nohorsetown]

I died on the first goomba on the first level of the first Super Mario Bros., like, 3 times in a row. But I was a little kid, so I guess it's forgivable.

 

[XMark]

Goomba number one gets everybody at some time or another. He's a sneaky bugger.
Also, everybody who plays Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer learns that supply crates are fatal the hard way.

 

[Koganesaga]

Demon's souls, I had finally hacked my way all the way to the boss portal, and I was about to step inside, when I see something around the corner, so with reflex I roll back, and off a cliff to my death and restarted the whole level over again. When I got back to that area again, I discovered it was just a bloom effect that caught me by surprise and cost me 4 hours of work.

 

[AMMO Kid]

I think playing swat 4 for pc when an enemy would pepper spray you and handcuff you was always pretty humiliating

 

[Revolutionary]

Missing the first note in a long antcipated GH duel.

 

[Willwillwritehiswill]

Deus Ex... All I did was light a cigarette and then BLARG! Dead.

Needless to say, I learned my lesson.

 

[CommyGingerbreadMan]

Saboteur: Put a fusebomb on Nazi object, turn and get hit by a car, staggering animation + getting up= longer then fusebomb time.

Just Cause 2. Made my way to the top of a building, Raised alarm. Jumped off, and a snipers red line sight caught my eye, I titled the camera to look where he was. Needless to say I remembered just as I saw a bush, I was falling, hit parachute and nailed ground, no dmge done, but my character continued to fall down a little slope for a second. This whole time I could see and cringe at the Sniper lining up with my head, just as I am able to move BAM dead.

Same game, Running from Gov't police. Driving actually in a motorcycle. I think Im smooth, so I crash it into a police jeep, turn around and cook grenade to throw at car. Motorcycle husk falls down and knicks me. Hard enough for my character to get knocked down AND drop the half cooked grenade near my head.BOOOOOOOOM

 

[Altaries]

If you're like me and play Mabinogi,You experience new embarassing deaths every other day

Ever been killed by a Gray Town Rat?

 

[Christemo]

got pushed through the floor in Darksiders. well, i didnt exactly die, but when im stuck and have to reload my last save file, i consider that dead.

fell off stuff scores of times in Dantes Inferno. dodgy jumping...

a CPU in Brawl got Star KO´d when Frigate Orpheon did its infamous 180 degree spin. i wasnt even near him.

died to JIGLLYPUFF as Captain Falcon. seriously, i was THE superman, and i lost to something entirely made of air.

 

[Omegatronacles]

About half an hour ago I ran through a mortar strike and C4'd a tank, only to be killed by a smoke grenade in Bad Company 2.

I have never gone from elation to chagrin so fast in my life. My squadmates thought it was the funniest thing they'd seen all day, which didn't help.

 

[Christemo]

also, not necessarily died, but in MW2 i'm forever finding new and exiting ways of flash-banging/stunning/fragging myself... bouncing them off bars, friendly team mates, enemy's, bits of map that don't actually have a texture just a physical presence... you name it iv probably managed to screw myself over with it

i seriously do that (only with flashes and stuns tho) all the fucking time in COD4, and then some random jerkoff runs by and shoots me. i think thats responsible for about 1500 of my 17000 deaths.
