 Hey, a ghost person! I've got a bit of health, I can probably take him, if I'm lucky.

BOOOOM

And thus, my first experience with Seekers.

Fallout New Vegas: Dead Money

[varnish]

Killed in glorious battle with the heathen! Or rather, died of old age while battling the heathen. Either way, it's how the duke might have wanted to go.

Crusader Kings 2, VIET

That dingo must have been rolling natural [whatever die DF rolls internally], because he tore my throat open as soon as he got in melee range. Granted I was playing a Peasant, but I'm still usually able to survive a single dingo.

What game?

But it was so accurate on the science!


While I didn't die, I was playing Tropico 4 and was on the mission where you are managing the penal colony.  Due to some early game fuckups, I ended up with all my sources of revenue dead when a volcano blew, destroying my logging camps.  After that it was a battle of never being able to get out of the red, barely surviving.  I eventually restarted and invested in a iron mine and a weapons factory.  Those thigns are gamebreakers.

ToME, playing as an alchemist.
I die to the Shade only to have my golem finish the job, and get the life restore potion as a drop... But golems can't identify things so I can't use it. Fucking ironic...

Gamebreakers until the Environmentalists get pissed (no landfills + rampant pollution + faction leader that loves liberty and housing  ) and proceed to blockade your mine. Damn it guys, I'm trying to expand my industry! If you'd let me make a little money, I could buy some nice environmental... things, instead of pouring money into the army to counter the insurgency you've started!

Now, I didn't actually die... in fact, no one did. But as the game was saving, at the tail end of an epic house party, it froze. I was fucking horrified. I had saved recently, I had been careful like that in case of freezes, but I'd only had the one save file. I hadn't anticipated this. Thoughts of corrupted save data flashed through my mind as I restarted the PS3... to find my last save, seemingly fine.
Just as I was filled with relief, thinking "Not a big deal, only a few minutes playtime lost," I clicked on someone to talk to and the action disappeared instantly from the queue. Try again, same thing.
So no one could interact with anyone else. At the start of a house party. Which needed to be a success for one of my sims to complete a couple of wishes. Another problem was, when attempting to center the view on a sim, the game told me they were in another part of town... When they were right next to the cursor.

That was last night early this morning.. I slept on it and went back to it this morning afternoon when I woke up, the problem was still there. I assumed this whole issue would be fixed by going to a different zone, but I wasn't about to let this party be a failure, so I dipped into my large pool of karma points to cheer everyone up despite this awful glitch.

Cue a very, very strange party where everyone turned up, stood around awkwardly for an hour or two and then left, murmuring under their breath about what an awesome time they had and how they were "all partied out".

Of course, as everyone started to leave I decided to try desperate measures to fix this glitch. I blew up an armchair, set the kitchen on fire, dropped a meteor on the front doorstep... And only then did I think of choosing 'yes' when the game asked me if I would like to travel to another zone to center on my sim.
Of course, after all that silliness, I discover that that was all that was needed to fix it. -_-

I don't think I'll reload the game, though- that was so bizarre as to be quite amusing.

War of the roses.

[Fniff]

Got beaten to death by bandits. Well, less beaten and more like "got a broken rib from one crowbar while those idiots stumbled around and fell over, then died from internal bleeding as I curbstomped the bandits into nothingness".

Neoscavenger, a very DF like roguelike that's post-apocalyptic.

[Markus]

I put Exploding Barrels in the Stuff launcher and tried to fill up a hallway before the Combine came. . .

Then one of my antlions stepped on a barrel. *BoomRiiiiiiiiiiiiiing~ ~ ~*

*Beep Beep Beep* Blood loss detected. User fatality-

Me:No kidding.

Wrestling matches in DF are only !!FUN!! if the opponent can breathe fire and you can't.

Funfact, even if your APC's cabin is bullet resistant, it doesn't mean they can't take out your engine block.

Going to have to invert this one, due to the nature of the game.

Finished the game. Talked Clem into making sure I didn't turn into a walker. Hopefully that was Christa and Omid in the distance.

I contemplated it a few times but never rewound any decision. And while it's tempting to start a second playthrough to try some other paths, I actually don't think I will. A story was told through the choices I made, with regrets and doubts and what-ifs along the way, and replaying would probably ruin that.
