"Here lies Sabin, lawful human monk
killed by kitten, while helpless"

Nethack

How dis hapen?

I have no idea. The gamelog went something like this:
Quaff fountain? (y/n) y
The water is contaminated! You are temporarily blinded!
You faint!
It bites! You die...
Do you want your posessions identified?

* Sabin falls over.

Kitty: "Ooh, something fleshy and not moving!" OM NOM NOM.
Game over.

The Loopy took piss for damage when I used my savvy, and the Catch of The Day just wouldn't die. They killed Vermis, then Mondo, then Gingiva.

Gingiva

[WillowLuman]

I thought I was doing well. I made it into some kind of caves, got a pickaxe to mine through stuff, and punched a lot of gnomes and dwarfs to death. Then I punched a "yellow light." I got blinded, fell through a trapdoor, and was set upon by an army of question marks. I punched many of them to death, but in the end, their numbers were too great.

Nethack.

Yeah, being blind in the Mines can be brutal.

Fuckdamn liberals keep sending assassins even though the bar is friggin green on their opinion of me.

 I blame the trade unionists. Here I am fighting for the poor and they're still concerned about a sweatshop scandal from three years ago. I bet they share a lot of folk with the liberals and socialists too, which is why the libs are now sending assassins on a turn by turn basis. It's kind of annoying, really. I have no idea how to make the unionists not pissed without setting off the batenburg group, and the capitalists never miss, ever. So I am repeatedly assassinated by John Lennon because if I'm not adam smith hates my guts and Bill gates bombs me at a elementary school or whatever.

Goddammit Democracy 3. You're too accurate for me.

Playing a fairly successful game of Nethack, as a Gnomish archeologist, trying to do a protection racket. "Oh, hey, a wand. I know I'm supposed to be going pacifist, but surely testing this out on that newt couldn't hurt."

The bolt of lightning hits the newt! The bolt of lightning bounces! The bolt of lightning hits you!
Do you want your possessions identified?

Screw you, Nethack. Screw you.

[WillowLuman]

A dwarf with a wand of magic missile. Goddamnit.

Nethack.

I was chilling in my home, dissasembling a chair when a dude with a rag wrapped bat came in and informed me that this was his territory and proceeded to take all my stuff.
I of course took offense and started to go all tiger style on his ass, as I happened to be a high skill martial artist.

...unfortunately flaming bat + bulletproof vest + army helmet > facepunch.

Cataclysm DDA

(I ended up finding him still in my old base after rolling a new character.  Since I was significantly faster than him, instead of wasting bullets on him I decided to kite his incredibly well armed and armored ass into the middle of the city, honk a truck horn a few times and take cover.  Not only did he clear a good chunk of the city for me, I also pulled his gear off of his cold dead corpse.)

Killed by exploding gnomes. I can easily kill monstrous jungle trolls, terrifying Gargantuans, giant spiders, and even annoying unicorns. But a handful of gnomes managed to accomplish what an entire army failed to achieve.

Overlord II. I walked the wrong way, missing the statue that would've blocked the gnome hole. By the time I realized my mistake, my health was nearly depleted.

[kisame12794]

Shot by a hitman as soon as I enter the area.

Shadowrun SNES version. Goddamn these games are addicting.

[flame99]

I'd finally, finally reached Minetown with a protection racket archeologist. I'd a large pocketful of gold, and several gems to make it larger. I was selling my gems to the general store, and OH BTW THIS IS A BONES LEVEL AND YOUR OLD LARGE CAT JUST KILLED YOU IN ONE HIT.

Nethack. Seriously, screw you, Nethack.

[itisnotlogical]

I wore a helmet in the Mines without checking it. It was cursed, but I thought I'd see what was ahead before retreating to remove it.

Turns out, it was a bunch of 'peaceful' watchmen. I guess Nethack's idea of 'peaceful' is 'beats you to death while you have a 95% fail chance on Force Bolt, your only offensive spell'.

Nethack. This is what happens when you spend a lot of time with nice, comparatively forgiving games like Battletoads.

[Thexor]

Not so much a 'death', but I failed at bed-making, taking 85 seconds instead of the requested 55. My excuse? Not one, but two eggs hatched, and apparently the timer keeps going while the egg-hatching scene is playing.

At first I thought you were talking about making a bed IRL. Then I was like OMG who is going to be a exacting as demanding you make a bed in 55 seconds?!

[Greiger]

I actually had a boss at a hotel during training that timed how long it took one of her housekeepers to make the bed and then asked me to make one. 
I remember it came out to some odd number.  I didn't come close, of course, but since I was training to be the night houseman I wasn't expected to clean rooms often or quickly.   I think she was just making sure I knew how to make a bed in case it came up.
