Various causes of death in Batman: Arkham Knight:
Batman decided that I wanted him to aim with his hacking device instead of dodging the katana that came at him.
Batman aimed at the guy with a stun stick out of the three possible enemies in the direction I pressed.
Stun attack somehow managed to hit two guys on each side of a.. erm... brute, are they called? but not the brute itself, who smashed Batman.
Trying to hack a gate from under the floor so I can call in the Batmobile against a heavy turret. Possible outcomes: Right click instead of aiming, makes Batman try a stealth takedown in front of said turret and 8 heavily armed guys. Other outcome: I right click BEFORE I get close, then try to left click to hack. Batman starts a fear multi-takedown. I already have the device AIMED, why can't I fire that instead of doing a takedown?

Of course, this usually requires one to have low hp at a time, but little things add up. Generally a fun game though. The Batmobile might be an enforced thing, but I think another Arkham game where you only beat people up would be awfully boring because of the repetition.

...Is it hard to stay on the Scarab?

I don't remember it being hard. Maybe if you are trying to get a vehicle to stay on it. Otherwise physics are just as normal as they normally are. You don't even really need to shoot the legs. If you aren't concerned about loosing your hornet, you can just jump out of it while above the scarab.
You want a difficult way to take out a scarab? Mongooses. I think you can use them on each level a scarab apppears. For sure on the Ark and The Storm. On the Storm it is easy, you just have to wait for the scarab to appear right in front of that huge crane. On the Ark, there is a very specific jump you have to make on one of those hills. Only ever done it once.

Goddamn beautiful. :'3

My 700 day "doing quite well" Swadia save of Mount and Blade: Warband corrupted, with no backups besides one that was itself corrupted due to realistic mode.

Aaaragh.

An expert bot got an awp, and showed off his superior robot aim.

Traded bursts with an insurgent on the back of a technical. Killed him. Found another insurgent, killed him. An explosion a second later vaporizes me. I get stuck with a 6000 second respawn time.

Battlefield 2: Project Reality, playing around on a botmatch to learn the controls. The manual says the longest respawn timer is 5 minutes, it says nothing about a respawn time of over an hour and a half.

[EnigmaticHat]

Fuck your casual bullshit, in real life it takes three days to respawn.

If something has "reality" or "realism" in its name that generally means it's boring, grindy, pointlessly complicated or any combination of those, in my experience.

Got my first ever tank-kill. Felt great, was cheering. A rocket was fired. These are my exact words:

WOO! YEEAAAAH-OHFUUUUUCK-

It was a hard fight in the Ion Storm. My ship had 3 Heavy Lasers ready to spit death, but the Rock Ship had a Flak gun, an Artemis Missile and a Heavy Ion. Evidently, the Rock Ship also had an ace pilot, as they dodged several salvos while I struggled to do the same. It was a near run thing, with my own ship down to its last hitpoint, but the Rock ship hailed us and offered to surrender, offering desperately needed fuel and just enough scrap to buy my third layer of shields. There's plenty of sector left to explore for the shop...

...except I hadn't realized I had jumped into a dead end. The only way forward was back through 2 systems wholly controlled by the Rebel fleet. Needless to say, my next fight was much shorter.

FTL. Still haven't won on Hard mode.

My fingers froze when I was thinking.  I will eventually clear this hardest level of play.

Not quite a death for me, but I figure it still counts.

My colony got a brand spanking new warg from an exotic goods trader.   His name is Camis.  He is a good doggy.  He protects my best hunter Casey from violent rabbits and squirrels.  He is the colony mascot.

And then one of the other hunters piss off an entire herd of muffalo.  Camis and Casey as well as the medic respond to the scene and provide backup for the hunter fleeing for his life.  Camis is released and leaps into action against the woolly beasts and....

Immediately gets shot in the back of the head by Casey.  Brain shot.  Dead. GG.

And now a bonus fail that isn't a death!

I got a new prosthetic leg from a trader.   The head cook lost a leg to a tribal raid a while back, and the combination of peg leg and bad back is not doing him any favors.  I order the medic to upgrade the peg leg to a simple prosthetic leg.  lv 11 medicine, that should be a fairly simple procedure for her.  And my only better medic is the cook himself.

Needless to say she fouls it up terribly, despite the sterile room and vitals console.   She apparently managed to cut open his torso and stab him in the heart and spine while installing the new leg.   To make things worse the piece of wood that originally made up his peg leg is now nowhere to be found.   I'm guessing she managed to lose it inside his chest cavity while installing his new leg... somehow. 

Fortunately he managed to live after I forced her to fix him.  She poorly bandaged all of the damage, and then went to go have a beer.

Both are Rimworld.
