"Hey I didn't realise there was Alchemy in this game, this could be just the edge I n"*Very loud and deadly explosion.*

ADOM: The game that makes me think that I am getting better at roguelikes and worse at roguelikes at the same time.

[Yoink]

Friend and I came up against a freakishly skilled, highly coordinated group. He had connection issues and had to quit at the start, leaving me to deal with this with just a couple of mute strangers on my team.
This one guy with a bow was a major nuisance, he was constantly popping up behind us and taking us down before we could react. When I finally got around to putting a bomb at one of the places he'd often climb, one of his teammates came up via another path I'd forgotten about, surprised me with a smoke bomb, and stabbed me in the throat.

Still, I managed to get a few (incredibly satisfying) kills, notably when the latter guy came at my hiding place in the upper story of a building, took out the bomb I'd set and threw one of his own at me. It rolled down the stairs so I was able to avoid it, come up as he jumped in through the window, and take him out with a shot from my crappy pistol. I'd already wounded him, I guess. Then I took the time to walk up and shoot him dramatically in the head, because screw that guy.

The match ended with me, the last one on my team, charging out into the smoke-filled courtyard where the enemies were and chasing one of them around in circles, both of us trying to knife the other from behind. Then one of his buddies interrupted. With a two by four. Into my face. >.>
I downed about six enemies and only got a measly three kills... sad thing is I was the best on my team.

On consideration, putting an unidentified rune onto my Bleed III sword was a bad idea. It was a teleport rune. Bye-bye, Kladenets. Hello, orcs.

Edit: forgot about the meteors. It was indeed Red Rogue.

[itisnotlogical]

Is that the one where you're on the orbital platform? Because I'm sure I've cleaned the place out.

It's on a platform, yeah. There's two huge Confederate bases, and an ion cannon on the other side of the map with a little strip of unclaimed territory leading to it.

gonna prevent any meteors and say this is probably Red Rogue.

Sounds fun. Looking up.
Edit: Wait, it's already on my computer? Huh. Must have done this before.

Were you using the Auto-Pillock too?

Anyway my last death was on the field of battle in Normandy.  Then I realize I hadn't changed my chosen successor to my infant son and my dwarf cousin (who had a couple of counties in Wales) is now the King of Ireland. The joys of elective monarchy.

Crusader Kings 2.

[Akura]

Mixed tension room. There's a quickling at the forefront. It shrugs off a frost bolt that otherwise kills off half of everything right behind it. I manage to finish it off with Burning Hands, and another frost bolt to deal with the survivors behind it. There's still a lizardman and an ogre, and I'm down to one hitpoint from a female dark sage who first berserked, then panicked, then threw an energy bolt(she was killed by my second frost bolt). I back off a bit to recover a measley few hitpoints, then kill the lizardman. I take a swing at the ogre and he swings back.

"You miss the ogre. The ogre hits you. You die."

ADOM, playing a Candle-born Troll Elementalist. This was in the Uninteresting Dungeon, after having done the Puppy Cave. To that point, that damn quickling was the only thing to have ever done any significant damage.

Oh well, I still have a backup to before heading to the Small Cave. Savescumming is really goddamned tedious, though.

[Mephisto]

Not to be outdone by the WWII-era Americans in mainline, I constructed three nukes and loaded them in my newly-constructed aircraft carrier in preparation of my impending invasion of China.

Setting off nukes is a sure sign that the crap is about to fly, so I stationed my sizable (and nearly free - thanks, city-states!) army just outside of China's territory. For some reason, I thought I would signal my attack by stationing a unit of infantry in the foothills near Shanghai. "Surely they're far enough away to be okay."

As the research quote says,

"I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

Three nukes later, China is hurting and that infantry unit has single-digit HP and is near an angry Shanghai.

All's well that ends well, however. The only casualties are the aforementioned infantry and one squad of AA guns. They were gifts, though. No big loss.

Spoiler: TLDR (click to show/hide)

Jewish Brazil converts some of Buddhist Egypt to Judaism. I retaliate with Buddhism, which they denounce. I declare war and assimilate them, which makes China denounce me. I get my buddies to all denounce China, at which point I let the nukes fly. Everyone now hates me, but I control the eastern half of the continent and I have nukes. Then Buddhism becomes the world religion. Never mess with militant Buddhists - Gandhi ain't got nothing on me.

Civ 5. It's my first game, so I went with settler difficulty. I'm going to have to up that. This is more of a success story, but it involved the death of my people so I think it counts.

[Sirus]

Not...really? That sounds more like a moment of owning, since one would expect to lose more units than you did.

[IronTomato]

My brother barely ever plays fighting games. I play them all the time.

The other day, he agreed to play Mortal Kombat with me. He played as Baraka, I was playing as Kabal. He damaged me to the point where one more hit could have killed me by spamming uppercuts. Luckily, I managed to block one, and quickly hit him with several extremely long combos. I was about to deliver a killing blow, but he blocked it and hit me with one more uppercut.

"TOASTEEEH"
"Baraka Wins!"

Mortal Kombat 9

[kisame12794]

I finally make it through Sen's Fortress, and am about to fight the Iron Golem. I cross the fog door, run at him, block his air slashy attack, and begin to circle him when a massive blast of fire envelops the area, killing me. As I look around during the "YOU HAVE DIED" screen, I see a golem on top of a building, hurling bombs at boss area. Hrmm. Maybe I should kill him first...

Dark Souls.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Definitely go kill him first. And also, to the right of the fog door (before you go through it) is a small bridge to a single-room tower. If you're human, there's a fairly strong ally you can summon in there.
