I charge a Stormtrooper with my lightsaber. Just barely out of lightsaber range, right when I'm swinging it to disembowel him, he shoots me point-blank in the face with a Flechette Cannon. Instant death from full health(though no shields).

Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. Kril'dor platforms, I was using my lightsaber on the guy simply because it was a little boring just throwing everyone off the platform with Force Grip and Lightning.

Captain Blyant, over the radio: *whisper* Oh god, I'm going to die here...*whisper*

One guy was already driven to suicide by Chemist Alina Koch and Director Kaylee Moon. Those two were insane and I was one of the five crewmen left counting them. Kaylee is also a mad bomber.

Later on, the geneticist stole one of Director Kaylee Moon's bomb components and stuffed them in his locker. I made him give the part back and returned it to Kaylee. She puts the bomb back together, dumps it in front of the cloning machine, and detonates it while I stand next to the morgue wall about six tiles away. She apparently had the wrong bomb, the one she used was way bigger than she thought it would be. Said bomb puts me into critical and I get pulled onto a space tile by air movement and promptly die. Since the cloning machine was reduced to scrap and pod people are broken, I was never cloned.

Utterly destroyed in a few hits by a random person wandering the streets of some town at night. I don't know if the game is supposed to be this hard or if I just didn't build my character right, but damn is it tense every time you need to restore HP.

Xom, the god of chaos and randomness, thought it would be funny to take my kobold chaos knight's +2+2 short sword and replace it with some random club. The goblin standing right next to me was more than happy about the magical trade from a mad deity, and promptly killed me in two hits, from full health of 27, with my own sword.

Now I know that a bored Xom is a threatening Xom, and knowing is half the battle! But hey, at least it wasn't an orc priest!

I accidentally alerted a mutant-dog-thing to my presence and it ate my face off.  3 times in a row...

Oh man I remember that round. It was fun.

Xom: your #1 source for hilarious deaths

[Lukewarm]

 All right, so I'm playing Dark Souls.  I'm just coming off the 'finally killed Seath, no more crystal hollows' high and deciding that rather then try and run back to the Demon Firesage, I'm going to run to the Catacombs. Halfway there my brother shows up and inquires about what I'm doing.  Every time he's done this previously I've been knee deep in needling something to death with arrows, so he does not have the most shining opinion of this game he's never played. Anyway, I tear through most of the catacombs with relative ease. We spy a fog gate with a long bridge leading under us and he suggests the obvious.
" Hey, I bet if you jumped down over here you could make it. "
 I know what you're thinking. You're thinking: "Hey! He hasn't even played Dark Souls! How can he assume that it's going to be so simple?"
If you weren't thinking that while reading the sentence then you should have been. Reread it and think the appropriate thought this time.
Done that? Good. Anyway, I have a single humanity on me, so I don't really want to kill myself but suicide is easier then trying to persuade my brother off one of his amazing ideas. 
I humor him and jump off, getting pushed off by the spikes that are on the bridge. I got my humanity back, though, so nothing was lost.

Exploring some ruin or another in Morrowind (Sixth House temple I think? One of the long, rounded rectangle buildings with multiple levels) I come across a ring on a table. Now, I'm hearing moans and groans from nearby ash monsters, and I'm rather worried because I just saw this place while lost on my way to Balmora from Seyda Neen. Brand new level 1 character reporting in.

Now I'm playing on an Xbox, on a rather small TV as well, and you know what that means where Morrowind is involved.

Yep, it's time to try and center your crosshair on exactly five pixels by scooting around in the tiniest increments possible! While ash monsters are bearing down on you!

TES III: Morrowind. Saying farewell to Xbox Morrowind before my friend gives me his PC Morrowind discs. It's been fun, but I absolutely will not miss the hassle that comes with trying to pick up single pieces of gold or alchemy ingredients.

My pretty darn cool axe warrior traipsed into this bandit camp, and I see this spearman.  No biggie, I think.  Cue spearman stabbing me in both feet, crippling my guy for life.  I manage to hit him a couple of times, and I also took out his leg, which meant we were on relatively even footing.

I wrap my right upper arm around his throat, just as he cripples my hand, causing me to drop my great axe.  Both hands have been stabbed at this point, but my guy constricts his arm around my enemy's throat, knocking him out.  I then proceeded to rip open his throat with my guy's teeth, killing him.

After waiting an hour ( to heal my guy's only serviceable hand ) I pick up the copper great axe that has served me so faithfully, crawl over to a nearby tree, and set myself on fire.

A truly honourable death.

I got appendicitis. I got operated on and had my appendix removed. Later on that round, I get appendicitis AGAIN despite not being cloned or having another one put it. Not actually a death, but enough of a failure against all odds that it might as well go here.

Way to let me down sunbro. Summoned him for the Biggie & Smalls fight because Solaire is awesome but he didn't follow me through the fog gate leaving me to face the dynamic crime fighting duo all by myself. Sunbro, do you even praise the sun?

Got them to the second phase (ornstein last) but then I realised my winged fire spear did roughly 50-60 damage a hit on smostein. Did no major mistakes in the fight but eventually he whittled away my estus flasks and got me when I misjudged the distance on one of his jump attacks. (I like to roll forward and get a few hits in when he does his jump attack, but this time I had just rolled back to avoid another attack and was too far away to make it.)

Other than the pitiful damage I did I actually think the first phase is way harder, seeing as well... there are two of them. It gets alot easier albeit less forgiving when it's just one of them.

Aquired a catastrophic morale penalty after trying to clear a school with just a longbow. After awhile, there were just so many zombie children, and I was running low on arrows and couldn't make more due to the morale penalty, I just decided to set the whole place on fire.

Shortly afterwards, I was ganked by a giant ant.

That's also how I last died.  Except that I wasn't paying attention to my arrows, and when I realized how low I was I couldn't craft any.
