Dodged a kobold attack and landed on top of a tree in the caverns. Now I'm stuck here until I starve. I hate this fucking bug.

Won't help. Make your adventurer's species a [FLIER] and gently swoop down.

[Vorthon]

A grenade propelled me off of the Bespin platforms, which typically spells death within several seconds.

What I did not expect was slamming in to the windshield of an X-wing, instantly destroying it. That explosion blasted me back up to the platforms, where I died of I've-been-in-two-fatal-explosions syndrome.

Star Wars: Battlefront

Christ, X-wings must be really poorly built if somebody falling on one can cause them to blow up.

[Haspen]

So I was digging out a side cavern for my flourishing establishment.

Suddenly, three wolf-monsters, they rushed after a miner and into main cavern and ate all of the seven guys I had there. I didn't even made a single tent yet :I

Intrusion 2. Hard mode. Got cornered with the first one you find and it kept grabbing me.

I think the x-wing was rather low on health. Collisions between falling units and vehicles do cause some small amount of damage, however miniscule.

In other news, I tried retrieving the sword with the magnet. However, I wasn't able to retrieve it in time to slay the green dragon sneaking up behind me.

Adventure. Probably the best Atari game ever.

[Xantalos]

They spotted my whole fleet, or so it seemed. The shots rained down, each one striking a critical hit while mine whizzed off into the dark, never to be seen. Eventually they had my last ship pinned down with one hit point left. I finally hit one of their ships, however, before I died, spitting in the eye of the titan that was the enemy.

Adventure. Probably the best Atari game ever.

As soon as I saw "retrieving the sword with the magnet" I thought of that game. I got it on a disk of "80 Atari classics" or something like that. A big emulator gallery / manual/article browser. Lots of cool material there. Adventure. Winner of the "Most obscure easter egg" contest for a long time (ever?). You can't keep a programmer in a cage. They are proud, willful creatures and will scheme patiently for a long time for the finest shred of recognition.

For the uninitiated, there is a (invisible) pixel in a dark room that you can pick up if you grind yourself along the wall to clip to it. This can be placed in a certain room with a large number of other objects (in itself dificult) to render an "end-of-level" barrier ineffective. Beyond this? A room with the programmer's name written on it.

A lot of Atari programmers hid thier names or initials in the games in bizzare, convoluted ways so that they could receive some recognition, in spite of the policy at the time to avoid getting people hired away by keeping the programmers anonymous.

[Silent_Thunder]

Misclicked with the US Infantry Division's offmap artillery support, shelling my own HQ into oblivion.

[MrWillsauce]

Surrounded by goblins, who beat me to near-death. As a last-ditch effort, I drank an unidentified potion. It turned out to be a potion of descent, which created a hole underneath me and allowed me to escape. This would have been perfect if I had had enough health to survive the fall.

Brogue

[Xotes]

This group of bandits is planning on ambushing a party of neutral folks to make off with their goods. I ask them if I can get in on it, so they say yes. I then immediately double-cross them by telling their targets they're going to be ambushed, but since the bandits don't suspect a thing I plan to go with them to the ambush point.

However, I've got some cash on hand from previous jobs, so I go upgrade my old AK47SU as well as my double-barreled shotgun. Then I go along with the bandits on their hit-job, and I sneak along with them for a bit. When their 'targets' open fire on them, I toss a pair of grenades at their feet and run. Alerted to my treachery, one of them chases after me as I move to get to cover. I pull out my rifle, wait for him to round the corner, pull the trigger and CLICK

As it turns out, upgrading your weapons also unloads them. This left me staring down an angry man with an assault rifle while both my guns were completely empty.

I go for my knife, and he shoots me in the face.

STALKER: Call of Pripyat

[itisnotlogical]

I left a three-tile-wide tunnel in to the heart of my fortress for trade wagons. It did not take long for a necromancer to show up. Did I mention that I completely forgot to build a military up till now?
