[Akura]

Killed by someone whose tank, watching them on the replay, was sliding sideways along the ground and even floating in the air a bit. Prior to that, I shot out the track on someone else before they could round a corner, then as they rounded the corner anyway I shot out their cannon breach, then they shot me with their cannon anyway.

The one sliding was a Russian tank, the other a US tank.

War Thunder.

Heh, last one has happened to me several times too. It seems that there is slight chance of gun functioning normally with broken barrel or breech, but I, for one, have never been able to shoot with damaged gun- Half the time I've been destroyed by it.

My last death- Working my tier 4 italian medium at center of a town map, I reverse sidescrape (useless for bouncing, but good to minimize exposure for front-turreted tank) and deal with 5 tanks at the same time, without support. I kill one medium but his +1 tier heavy pals finally find their man-pants and rush at me when a Covenanter gets hammered next, firing HE at my turret front from 6pdr and going down to 15hp by my return fire. And, when I've died, the team's heavies one by one poke around the nearby corner getting rekt by the enemy.

World of Tanks

[Telgin]

Assassinated by my carriage running over a cliff, which followed my previous character being assassinated by being shot by an archer.  At least I dealt with the troublesome duchess I believe was responsible for both when my daughter took charge.

Crusader Kings II.

[Yoink]

Some idiot got pregnant and subsequently starved to death. Use a condom or something next time, hey?? Tf you tryna bring some poor child into this doomed little crapsack excuse for a village for anyway?!
Some people. Jeez. That was the first person I've had die in this game, though. Sad times.

At least we figured out an effective means of birth control.

Rise To Ruins

[milo christiansen]

I (foolishly) agreed to help an MR 10 clan member (I'm also MR 10) with the boss on Sedna. Now, I had never run this boss before, so I took my best gear, and expected a tough fight. For the first and second time through we picked up a pair of randoms, and won without too much trouble despite most of us having no idea what we were doing (or at least it seemed that way). The third time through both randoms left, and we went in alone.

Turns out the clan guy was practically useless. He did basically no damage, leaving it all to me, and he didn't seem to be able to avoid damage from the boss either even though he was playing a Limbo (Limbo has a really easy move than basically makes him invulnerable).

I'm pretty darn tanky in my Rhino, but my DPS sucks. Still, I managed to carry us to the last stage of the battle before losing my last revive. I really need a better weapon or something, but even so we could have won without too much trouble if he had either A) Concentrated on staying alive and reviving me or B) Made sure to bring a weapon with decent DPS and do hit-and-run strikes on the boss.

Anyway, so far the Sedna boss is by far my least favorite, since you need to do some special missions first to get "points" needed to pay for access to the boss fight level. It makes farming her part drops very slow.

All this WOT talk reminded me to finally upload this video. Although i'm not sure if it will be death or own. But well, for me it's certainly death.

To clarify - i'm sometimes being accused of playing on laptop and then complaining about lags, but i do play on desktop, and it's probably a lot weaker and less suitable for running games than quite big part of laptops. 

And this is totally death in Touhou Hisoutensoku. Against bot, yeah.

[Murphy]

Died during Armageddon (the last day of the season when all limits on attacks are lifted and everything drowns in a glorious free-for-all before starting the game cycle anew).

It was less glorious in practice because 10 most powerful players happened to be allies and did not fight each other but systematically killed off everyone else. GG.

The Reincarnation (one of the earliest browser MMOs)

[Yoink]

My highly-successful adventurer died a pitiful, unexpected death to a certain noisy bastard.

Spoiler: IVAN spoilers - not exactly late-game, but if you don't get the above reference, don't click! (click to show/hide)

Died in melee combat with an enner beast. Now I know various sources agree that is a bad idea, but in the past I would usually take him on hand-to-hand without too much trouble, and with characters that I would consider far less powerful than my last one.

I'm beginning to suspect that they had high lightning resistance and that the beast's cries count as electrical damage, though I could find no mention of that on any IVAN wikis I looked at. If that turns out to be the case I will be kinda salty - I had plenty of rings and could have easily chucked on a couple of electricity resistance if I'd known. Bah.

Stupid death. Annoying. Much lame. The enner beast is usually easily dealt with in my experience.

[AzyWng]

This game is hard.

I keep worrying about the ever-increasing difficulty and keep hitting the teleporter too early.

One more recent death is when sacrificed my health to a health shrine on the second stage.

I didn't have very much of it left.

When I attempted to use my Bustling Fungus (HP regen if you stand still), an enemy teleported next to me. I don't recall if it spawned or had already been following me.

Yeah... This game will take some getting used to.

Risk of Rain.

[Egan_BW]

Hah, my problem is the opposite, in that my thirst for loot is much stronger than my fear of time limits.

[Kagus]

There's a balance to be struck... Waiting too long will make later enemies too powerful to mooch loot off of, but rushing the teleporter will leave you without items to kill off the later obstacles.

Or you can just do what I do and focus on getting the glass and command artifacts, and then steamrolling the rest of the game with an unstoppable force of cheese.

My very first win was with the bandit. I don't even like the bandit.

[Akura]

The second form(first one only lobs a few Holy and Dark attacks before pissing off) of the final boss completely wrecked me within two turns. Wasn't a total wipe, but I had only the one reserve guy left standing, and he was pulled in in the middle of the enemy turn.

Spoiler: I don't think this is spoiler worthy really, but (click to show/hide)

I mean, its *possible*, but I do think its pretty unlikely that's the case and no one noticed. You could figure out if it is though pretty easily via just saving before the fight and then dying to him over and over on purpose until you have a decent sample size to determine if your theory is correct.

And a sample size of one death is a pretty small sample. He is indeed super nasty at close range, and while he is also very squishy and thus easy to kill with good luck (eg over 3 turns) with bad luck he can last significantly longer.
Not only that, but his damage output is also highly variable. Unlike many other attacks it targets every part of the body at once as well as also having a large damage range, so any given attack can be fairly low damage or require you to drink a whole potion of healing to counter.
Thanks to his super high damage output at melee range the difference between him dying over 3 turns and dying over like 7 turns is also super significant.
