Worst way you have died in a videogame

[Brannigan1]

If you've ever fallen into an infinite cycle of death you know how shitty it is. You quicksave right as some bastard of an enemy lobs a grenade at you, and die, then the game instantly reloads and you have to watch it happen over and over again until you get a chance to quickly bash the menu button.

The same thing has happened to me in StarCraft. I think I've got my base running strong, so I save my game, only to have it turn out that a swarm of Zerg are 10 seconds away from assaulting me and destroying my base and/or essential characters. Reload that game only to find out you can't build any defences in that time, no matter how hard you try. <_<

Halo 1, quicksave just before i accidentally drive off a cliff in the warthog. Loads again, but i have too much momentum to stop, and not enough time to get out. Sigh

Being killed in multiplayer after just finishing someone and being left with no shields/health just to be killed by a n00b shooting spray fire who was waiting at the sideline for a cheap kill.

Also when you die in a match with a really shitty connection.

I killed myself when alyx was stabbed by the hunter.

Same here, I got so depressed that I downed myself in the antlion cave.
2 more are;
In fallout 3 a skeleton was glitching and vibrating rapidly, so I walked on it and was killed.
In Left 4 Dead on the very end, I was jumping towards the helicopter when a Tank hit me out of the air then off the edge.

Death by forgetting to put on the lens of truth and jumping into a pit after a skulluta knocked me in. Damn shadow temple. Oh and my friend and I were on forge and I went up his tower with a ton of fusion coils, and golf balls. He detonated the fusion coils from afar. Launching me halfway across the map where I died from a golf ball landing on me :<

 

[Pimppeter2]

Killed by a mudcrab

/facepalm

 

[oppp7]

Getting screwed by the physics in Battlefield Bad Company. Apparently you can't see the end of your gun going through something.

 

[Yukinari]

Probably in any game where a small enemy like the size of a goomba lets say, would kill me.

 

[Numb1lp]

My cousin and I did a suicide mission in Battlefield 1942 online. He put satchel charges on my wings and I took off, and when I flew into the enemy outpost, he blew me up.

 

[duchaked]

hiding (or stuck? hmm) in a basket in COD4...got blown up
and of course the basket survived intact

 

[1MPUR1TY]

I died of dysentery

stupid Oregon trail game


EDIT: Oh wait, I remember the first time I used the "kill" command in console. heh, I hadn't saved in over 4 hours *twitch*

 

[Robert632]

i was palying l4d on the boat rescue from the death toll campaign (i think) i was running along the bridge to the boat when a tank threw a chunk of rock at me, i turn to shoot at him(damn me and my fps instincts) and was subsequently pounced on and killed by a horde.

 

[ma55ter_fett]

falling through a glitchy floor, and jumping off of a halo 3 map (by accident of course).

 

[dududf]

As a hunter in L4D versus, the tank was in front of me just about to punch a survivor to death when he turned and punched me just as I jumped, I then some how glitched so I was flying every where in a pounce jump, just glitching all over the place, I then some how landed on a survivor while still glitching all over the place, the survivor died with me on top, I then landed on another survivor only to have the game un-glitch with that survivor with me and we fell off the no mercy hospital with me still on top. 2 for 1, not too shabby


Supreme commander, I was turtling with a Human and another fella in multiplayer, sending experimentals every 5 minutes, and the game wasn't going any where. so I started stockpiling nukes. It was practically 2 v 2 I never saw the third guy.

After 100 nukes stored, I then proceeded to launch every single air craft I had over his base to find his command unit and just when I find him I see that HE IS DOING THE EXACT SAME we both launched all of our nukes at the same time, I quickly got all 80 of my mobile shield generators and my ACU a safe distance from the nukes, I got my shield guys to use their shields and I was safe. I casually looked for the enemies base to find that all of their nukes have launched... BUT he wasn't targetting my unit ooooh nooo, he was just nuking everything on my side of the map, He died of course.... but little problem, just when a nuke goes off over my ACU (keep in mind that if the Armored Command Unit dies, you die) all of the shields broke and half of my units died but my ACU lives on. Suddenly, I hear "Tactical Missle Launched" I look to see that the nuke is coming down, ...Right where my ACU is, I then ask "WHO THE HECK LAUNCHED THAT?" the guy I was fighting for the last 4 hours said "I 'unno" I checked the player list and totally forgot about the third guy. I move my ACU as far as I can, but the it couldn't move far enough and I lost to the guy who just hid under a stealth shield for 4 hours building a single nuke. My ego died then and there.


Garrys Mod, I made a elevator, that secretly has a pop can nuke in it, and when you hit the "Up" button on the elevator, it activates the timer which waits 10 seconds, which is about 3/4 up the elevator shaft. I also added a feature where half way up, the walls that you can't no clip through appear, and slowly beging to contract.
So just before you are squished to death you are nuked.




Yeah Cool Story Bro!

Im a good player in cod4 but I have an annoying habit of managing to kill myself with my own air strikes, it tends to happen alot, like the plane will come in at just the right angle to hit me with them if its anywhere near me. Also fuck the chopper, that damn thing has an anti-me gun, I swear it will hit me across the map in cover

 

[brutus3933]

I was playing runescape (not that bad, actually). I had a full set of barrows and my ogre bow. I was on Karmaja doing the second ogre quest and I got poisoned. I forgot my antipoison, so I had to run all the way to the bank to deposite everything. I died talking to the bank teller.

 

[old account]

I was playing World of Warcraft, and since I was frustrated being killed by murlocs trying to start a human character, I decided to kill this bunny hopping along the road. Turns out that the bunny was a flagged PvP Lv 80 Horde in the bunny disguise left from Blizzard's equivalent to Easter , and since attacking it made me flagged, he killed me. I quit playing for a week. fml xD

 

[sarahvait]

Probably from getting my head raped by one of the Abstract Daddies in Silent Hill 2.

My most embarrassing death would be flying directly into a torpedo in StarLancer.
