Gotta go off-topic for a second here.

SPACE IS NOT COLD!

You're quite mistaken. Space is just a couple degrees over absolute zero (over, because of the backround radiation from the creation of the universe), the only reason it takes a while for anything to cool down is because there's little to transfer the heat to. But yes indeed there is still stuff to transfer the heat to, be it space dust or the occasional gas particle floating around. Space isn't perfect vacuum. The Hollywood version where people freeze in seconds is only wrong in that they show it happening in seconds, when really it'd take a little while.

Yes, this. The suffocation would probably kill you first, though.

And radiation if you're near a sun.

Au contraire. Space is not 'a couple degrees above zero'. Space is not any temperature at all, and whilst matter the is floating in space will eventually become a few degrees above zero (barring any significant outside radiation), space itself still cannot have a temperature.

This isn't exposed though. This is indoors, where any dust particles can't radiate energy away, actually they will absorb radiation from the walls!(presumably the station's internal walls are not significantly below 0 degrees C)
It's like being between the layers in a Thermos! No air, but what matter is present is not magically close to absolute zero.

Regardless, we now know that the room was filled with very cold coolant gas instead of normal atmosphere, and therefore unbreathable whether or not it had oxygen in it.

Nobly sacrificed myself against a rogue cyborg with a lightsaber, and I managed to dent it. It tried to go into a cryogenic sleeper, but it had no effects. The escape shuttle made it successfully.

Space Station 13

[Aptus]

I shanked a prison guard with my shiv only to get noticed by a camera and riddled with holes by a turret.

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape form the really long game name. Finally managed to get it to run in proper 1080p on my computer, 'tis a fun game.

[quinnr]

First, I summoned three giant mushrooms on top of each other in the form of stairs. I climbed up to the top of my makeshift staircase, and then sent a barrage of exploding mushroom nukes down on the people below, sending them flying into the abyss. Except for one, who managed to kill me with something slashy before I could kill him.

Saved Pierce and was heading for Shaundi and had the van she was in at quarter health. Car I'm in is about to explode so I jack a car and begin driving off after the van only to get a message saying I'm about to leave a follower behind, and sitting right there in the passenger seat is a masanko gunning down my gang members not caring that the head of the gang he was killing was driving him around. Stopped the car and was about to get out when a group of 5 saints began to unleash lead on the car while I was still in it just to get the masanko still in the passanger seat. Survived the explosion, but not being set on fire from the flaming wreckage. Way to look out for your boss guys. Saints Row 2.

Got my first total party kill. Was exploring an island while screwing around on my awesome new magic boat, when I ran into four imp-looking things that loved to dance. They were faster than my party, could knockdown or confuse everyone with group-hitting dance attacks, and would even attempt to use an instant-death attack that could also hit all four party members if unlucky. Cue ten minutes of me swearing in frustration at the TV screen as my party slowly perished.

Dragon Quest 7. The AI cheats so goddamn blatantly in that game, seems like half my playtime consists of me muttering curses under my breath.

[Haspen]

My 'stored' Action Points got blasted away by few cards, making me unable to attack, and then poison and a basic bow card killed my mage.

Wow, I did a quick Google Image search on that, and it looks like it would be right up my alley. Can you really completely customize your character's head?! Because I am a major sucker for character creation.
A pity I don't have a powerful enough computer for such things, but ah well.

Hrm, to keep this on topic... Well, my last game death was a savescum, so that's not cool enough. Lemme just open up IVAN...
Edit: Okay, Bartus. Let's see how good a dungeon crawler you are.

Edit: FUUUU, not even off the first level and I'm down one arm and my dignity. I'm a bit out-of-practice, it seems...

Edit:
Poor Bartus. Who put all those rats in that drinking fountain? Some people... 

[Greiger]

Not so much me dying but I have this odd obsession with saving everyone.

Spoiler: Warning, contains relatively minor Tactics ogre LUCT chapter 3 spoilers (click to show/hide)

Boed Fortress some rebels that I was somewhat cooperative with were apperantly wiped out by some dark knights.  I rush to save them but I'm too late and only the leader is left.  She is disarmed and the enemy leader casts a spell on her to slow her, taunting her to try to escape him and his small army of templar knights.

I show up and shit gets real.  She uses the opportunity to punch a templar and corner herself.  And quickly gets destroyed by mages and the enemy leader.  Crap.  Reset!

She punches a templar and corners herself again, but this time I used a swiftness spell on my local neiborhood winged hero and he gets up next to her and starts shoving powerful healing drugs down her throat.  She still gets wrecked by mages and the enemy leader, it just takes longer, but still not long enough for my land bound party members to get anywhere near support range.  It's like climbing a mountain.  She actually kills HERSELF by punching the enemy leader and taking a counterattack axe to the face.  She must be really stupid.  Reset!

Punches the templar, corners herself.  I get Canopus up there again but this time the enemy leader crits her, which in this game causes knockback, pushing her off of the top of the fortress.  She takes most of her life in damage from the crit and then the fall damage but she lives.  And she is much closer to my party now.  I get my dragons nearby to support her, protecting her from the enemy melee knights with their rampart aura. (prevents enemies from moving past them in one turn) and see that the mages can no longer target her with their missile spells because she is no longer in line of sight of the top of the fortress.  I'm just about to celebrate and kick these guys asses with my extremely overleveled party, when a plucky mage pulls off an impossible missile spell shot that absolutely had to pass through the floor to hit her.  It finishes her off.  Crap.

Tactics Ogre PSP  The Neutral path fight to save Cerya early in chapter 3.  Yes, I am refusing to use Chariot.

I was murdered by a Barbershop Quartette.

That's... pretty bad RP there.
Protip: A real person will just about never kill themselves, or put themselves in a situation where they would experience physical pain.
Exceptions are the mentally damaged or people who have gone through years of emotional things to make them fail to care. But I don't think that a comapny sending people to space would hire anyone as emotionally fragile as either.
