What game do you want to die to?

[42manZ]

I noticed an article about people dying while playing video games. My question is, if you were to die while playing a video game, what video game would like to die playing?

 

[ElephantGuts]

I'd be honored to die playing GTA4 by a criminal in a huge police chase driving his car into my house and maiming me, then me getting caught in the crossfire as he has a shootout with the police.

Just like I was doing in the game.

Um, I meant dying from malnutrition or a heart attack, or more matter on what game you are playing.

No contest here: Tetris. XD

 

[Aries_Split]

I would like to die by taking a bullet for my best friend, WHILST playing Guitar hero,

 

[Jumplion]

I would want to die while playing Galaga. Oh Galaga, you bring back so many memories.

 

[Theo Samaritan]

I had a heart attack while playing DDR... Well In The Groove at any rate...

The song I died to. [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4D8zLXSmEos]

Yes that is an official ITG song. It is seen as the third hardest official release (i.e. not leaked from unreleased) song on the planet. A 13 footer, a bit like the European Extreme mode of Bemani =/

Probably the only game I'm likely to play that long in one sitting is Titanion [http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/windows/ttn_e.html]. Nonsensical as it sounds, I just cannot get tired of pissing off a big bug and getting a scary amount of bullets shot at me, but then killing him in the middle of it and turning all the bullets into one huge-ass bonus.

I'd like to die during a game of naked Twister with a group of fine ladies. But if it had to be a video game, I suppose I'd want to die playing naked Wii Fit with a group of fine ladies.

 

[Donstheman]

Playing the game they call life. Whilst wining preferablly.

 

[Meet_Your_Doom]

I'd like to die just after finishing the only quest I hadn't done in a fantasy RPG, like Oblivion, simply because it would take me FOREVER to get to that point. Either that or with a 20:1 Killeath ratio on an online COD4 deathmatch.

 

[mjhhiv]

I'd wanna die while playing Fallout.

Not only because it's a great game, but for ironys sake too.

 

[Daiquere]

I'd probably want die playing Tales of Symhponia. That way if Tales of Asperia or tales of Symphonia 2 come out and are terrible, I wont have too focus on them.

Or maybe Fable. I'd be trying too contain my excitement for Fable 2(and fail, then die).

I'd like to die while playing Final Fantasy 8,544 thank you very much.

 

[Logan Westbrook]

Wow, this is a grim topic!

Still, for me it would either be the Shadowrun game for the SNES or Vampire: Bloodlines.

 

[42manZ]

Wow, this is a grim topic!

Yeah, it is, but the people in Korea who die trying to enter the competitive sport of gaming in Korea fascinate me. So does the story of the people in China who's baby died because they were at a cybercafe playing WoW for several hours.

 

[Unholykrumpet]

I wouldn't mind dying from the joy of beating my friends in NFL Blitz 2001 for the N64, arguably the most competitive game the world has ever seen.

Also, dying playing an N64 with a 360 and ps3 sitting in your dorm room collecting dust is just a powerful statement.

Edit: 42 Manz, my personal favorite horror story is the student in China who threw gasoline on a classmate and set him on fire, then danced around saying he was a fire mage from wow. Morbid, but comical in its own way.

I would love to be found dead while watching the game over screen of Total Distortion.

I would love to die having ignored the fact that my thumbs would be bloody stumps whilst playing Battletoads with the intent of finishing it (or any other similarly imposible game) okay maybe just an aneurysm from the pent-up rage I'd have at the gaming system.

I think my backup would be (since I lose all motivation to play it all the way through) every Pokemon game starting in the chronology from the blue version up to whatever the newest ones are whilst filling up my pokedex and then dying of eye cancer from all of the squinting I'd do at the tiny, low-res screens on the gameboys.

And I'd have the name "Fagballs" while my rival maintains the name "????" in each game by the way...
