Well, not a death, but I am stranded in the orbit of the moon with only a RCS jetpack for propulsion.

Kerbal Space Program. I think I overestimated the capacity of my lander.

EVA jetpack should be enough to escape Munar orbit. Once he's back around Kerbin, send up another craft and rendevous with him. Use remaining jet pack fuel to board the craft, then fly it back home. I just did this yesterday, coincidentally. Rescued Jeb after he was stranded around the Mun for 4 years.

Not death per se, but I've failed several times to drive from one end of the city to another. There's a timer, which is not affected by difficulty. An accident of any type, not going max speed through all of the twists and turns, or just not having a fast enough car spawn next to you result in you not having enough time to finish.

Twice I've gotten to the mansion courtyard, only to have the timer expire. If you've got a map marker in this game, driving into the general area is usually enough for a success. This time, however, you have to get out of your car, run up the lengthy stairs, and ring the doorbell, in addition to the issues I mentioned previously.

Nope, Jeb's EVAing the entire thing back home. It's only a couple of science pods and goo pods anyway. But it's got a decent amount of science in it. And it should be possible to get the whole thing into an aerocapture with Kerbin.

Okay that's it, I'm redownloading this.  Last time I played the Mun had just been added and I couldn't reach it.

Wait, you can fire the jetpack while on the ladder?

Who said anything about a ladder? I'm literally making him push the thing.

[WillowLuman]

How do you make sure he doesn't slide off or past it?

[Graknorke]

How do you make sure he doesn't slide off or past it?

By having him push against the flat surface at the back. When he goes into the command pod to recharge his RCS pack, I realign the craft to be pointing forwards again. It works pretty decently.

[WillowLuman]

Well, seeing as you can push without sliding off, and can recharge by going into the pod, then I think it's safe to say that you have discovered a miracle. This consideration makes many missions I have been struggling with now feasible.

One could adjust their apses with "getting out and pushing", then save the fuel/RCS for adjusting inclination and landing.

Enjoy your Nobel Prize. Or the Kerbal equivalent thereof.

The mental image is fantastic. "I've got to get this lander back home, it's chock full of SCIENCE!"

Trying to do all the arena quests. Starting off with the solo-only ones. I decide to take the quest to kill everybody's favorite, Plesioth.
He boxes me into a corner underwater and just spins like a jerk. I think I've figured his game out though: you can't fight him on the same level. Either drop down from above or come up from below and you should be able to dodge most of the attacks.

...not that anybody cares because nobody has this game

[Thexor]

I spotted a cluster of roughly 6 well-armed guards, ripe for the punching. I scoped out a nearby rooftop from which to plan my assault, and started gliding towards it. Moments later, no fewer than three ruby-red laser beams locked onto me; the resulting sniper blasts easily tore though my maxed-out ballistic armour on the first round, then finished me off with a second round seconds later as I desperately tried to get out of their range.

Guess I should've checked the watch towers before assaulting the main guards.

Batman: Arkham City. If you owned the Steam version previously, then you can download the GOTY edition for free - including all DLC and the replacement of GFWL with Steamworks. Bad news is, it's a pain to transfer save files/achievements... so time to earn them all again! 

[HFS]

In hindsight, bringing Acheron and a Graviton Charge to an Undead Danger Room was a really stupid idea.

Ha, that's funny. I took so long getting around to buying the DLC I don't even need to buy it anymore.

Hm, last time I died...

An army of the Free People of Eriador besieged my city of Northern Thorbad, sadly my armies were elsewhere preventing Rohan and High Elves from picking away at my borders so I ended up losing the city... again. Ugh, it's leave a city with a minimal guard and the A.I will travel through hell and high water to take it from you regardless of where they start from.
