[Yoink]

I started playing XCom Enemy Unknown, since a friend gave me it for free.
I lost my first game (which was actually going fairly well) to my PS3 being unplugged, and then started again on the same difficulty (classic). I don't know what happened, but for some reason the new game seemed so. Much. Harder. I went from failure to failure, and counted a mission that ended with some troopers surviving as a victory.
It certainly seems to remain true to the difficulty of the old games, as far as I can see!

The thing that eventually inspired me to ragequit, though, was losing a squad to a strange glitch that made me unable to control three of my soldiers- and the VIP I was rescuing. One died there, the rest got put in critical over the next couple of turns due to ridiculous amounts of reaction fire. Lame.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

[Akura]

Decide to play a few rounds before trying to call my sweetheart.

First launch, I hit Mutou, Yuuko, then Shizune.

Second launch, I bounce on the ground once, then hit Shizune.

Third launch, I crash straightaway into Shizune.

Katawa Crash. I think the game was trying to tell me something. Namely, to stop playing games and call that girl. Didn't work though, her phone was turned off or something.

Also, I have all but three achievements, namely April Fools!, Bizarre Adventurer, and I'm Here to Save Flash Gaming, and no idea how to get any of them.

Was dicking around in Goldshire on my rogue, a level 49 human hunter flagged himself for PvP after seeing me sap an NPC, at which point I shadowstepped over to him and instakilled him with ambush. Then I got hit by about 9 different AoEs from the clump of level 85 alliance players duelling ten feet away.

Totally worth it.

WoW: Cataclysm.

[Darvi]

Freaking goddamn dwarves and giant lizards and rocks and magma and fire and shit.

Magicka

[Graknorke]

Not a death, but I think I have that bug in mission 5 of Deus Ex.

[wer6]

accidentily set fire to a pair of shorts underground in a shelter, and then promptly died of smoke ((this was a old build))

Cataclysm DDA

[Culise]

Coming off of a successful evaluation and a perfect coverage grid finally set up, the xeno scum staged an attack on our base with their infiltrators clearing a path.  I was a little worried, but it's not like they'd drop everything on you all at once in the first wave, right?  Well, that's what I thought until three Mechtoids dropped on top of me in the first wave, along with a smattering of Chrysallids, Sectoids, and a Sectoid Commander.  With two shots per turn per Mechtoid, even my sniper couldn't keep them locked down long enough to turn the tide.  To be fair, they didn't drop everything on top of me in the first wave; it took the second and third waves, including two Cyberdiscs and some Seekers, and two more Mechtoids to finish off my forces.

Haha I actually used to hang around stealthed in full cat druid pvp gear in that one newbie town in the barrens afking and playing something else in another window.  I would listen for sounds of combat and then ruin the bored alliance player's day pretty much the moment they showed up to cause trouble.  Once I even pounced into a 2v1 and the other alliance player didn't even notice til I ate his buddy.  Then I sat on their corpses in bear form, as is WoW PvP tradition.

Good times, good times.

Khezus are really, really dangerous when they're pissed off.

Caty DDA

[tryrar]

Not so much die as "Make me ragequit" but I was moving my colonel sniper into position....only to trigger the cyberdisc's overwatch, which not only hit her hard but caused the car she took cover behind to catch fire, which promptly exploded, killing her.  I was planning on botting her next month too

XCOM, Enemy Within

[Wimopy]

After farming some green titanite shards to upgrade my Winged Spear from +5 to magic +3, I decide, maybe it's time to leave the Depths, especially since I doubled my damage (2x-2.5x more, in fact). So, I go to the boss, the Gaping Dragon. Who promptly one hits me with a charge. And a fly up and fall. And a smash that wasn't even near me. And a tail swipe that just passed through my char without even any reaction, just noticed that I lost 1/3 of my hp.

That's my last loads-of-deaths. I learnt that using lock in against him only works against me (it's nice to have help aiming, but damn, I can't dodge with that fixed camera.) The game's combat system really isn't my cup of tea, but I'm suffering through.

Dark Souls

At least MH3U is going well.

[PTTG??]

Not me, but:

"Saw one of the other survivors trying to light a gasoline-soaked rag on fire and throw it into a field of dry grass. When I grabbed my knife, he threw the rag and grabbed his bow. Everyone saw the standoff and I told him to drop the bow or I'd grab my gun. He said he'd shoot me if I tried. I tried.

My last words were a cryptic prophesy that came true that very night."

GURPS campaign I (PTTG) am running with a zombie twist. The PC who died was a homeless 14 year old named Cassandra who had slightly prophetic nightmares. The guy who shot her was an olympic-level archer with schizophrenia who's going off his meds. The players are still best friends; that's just the way they roll.

Cassy critically failed her dodge roll, by the way. It was hilarious.
