I thought the half-game boss was bad? Actually not so since I beat him with a few seconds of shooting with the shotgun but that's beside the point:
These fucking mercenaries. They just won't die. So many bullets into them and it does nothing.

Enjoy the final boss

Spoiler: I left it vage because spoilers, but you may want to see this to avoid having to do the whole game again or having to speedrun a certain part of it (click to show/hide)

When you go to a space station, SAVE IMMEDIATELY IN A DIFFERENT SLOT. No, seriously. If you forget to save, or save too late, it may end up unwinnable.

I've already been exposited to about the space station, so yeah I know that'll be a thing.
As for saves, I've been making each one in a new slot, as is habit in older games. You never know when you'll be fucked over by something that happened before you last saved.

My fort had 57 dwarves with lots of good military and miners. Things are going well, with an abundance of just about everything. Suddenly... "The dead walk! Run while you can!"

I walled off the fort as soon as possible to try to get the necromancers to leave (so that I could deal with non-reanimating zombies), but a few dwarves were locked out. They died to the zombies, causing everyone to be unhappy. To add to this, there was a place in the fort that they could see zombies and panic. For the next few months, it was a continuous cycle of tantrum/insanity -> randomly attacking stuff -> dying -> tantrum/insanity. In the end, most dwarves had a few kills each, all other dwarves. Eventually, I decided to kill the zombies with the remains of my military, so I opened the bridges near an edge of the map. Immediately, several dwarves run out and are slaughtered by zombies. A few seconds later, my last two military dwarves who still have legs show up, kill about 20 zombies, and also die. At 11 dwarves (with most too injured to walk, and a few more insane), I abandoned to reach to inevitable end.

"You strength has broken."

Fukken game. So, I was on the second of the Triad dudes missions(Zhang?). We have to stop an alien battleship from bombarding a city by placing transmitters on a train, and sending it off. I enter the train, and dash along, with my sniper on top of the train, providing long range brain surgery, my assaults handing buckshot out like candy, and everyone else providing a lead wall. A support gets critically injured by a Muton, but I'm able to stabilize him. Killing enemies as I go, I make my way to the end of the train with two turns remaining. I dash my assault into place. Nothing happens. Dafuq? Can't click the console. Huh. Okay, next turn, exit zone, re-enter zone. MISSION FAILURE.

Why did I set MANA LOCK to 7? I could have beat everything else if not for that.

Happy reunion with my sister for two weeks. "Let's hunt Savage Jho!"

4 failed quests later, we said screw it because I got a crook and that's good enough for me.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

[Jack_Bread]

Just escorting a dude across a forest, hoping to reap the sweet, sweet rewards he gives you. I've been having trouble keeping this damn people alive when I'd escort them. They usually get ambushed from behind by a couple of rare enemies while I dealing with the enemies they were panicking about or they'd run from the enemies they're panicking about and get cornered by other enemies and die. They're pretty dumb.
Anyway, I was doing well, keeping him alive and acting as a meat shield for him while in these narrow passages in the forest.
Then, from the sky, A METEOR FALLS. The impact doesn't kill either of us, but the otherworldly abominations that were joyriding in the meteor wanted to change that. I fought them valiantly, but then the target the guy I'm escorting for some reason and kill him. Then I die shortly after because of the lava ground the meteor left behind in it's crash. God damn it...

And no.  Not when Im that close to him and I have a lake/2 corn.  On the coastline.

Seems like it's generally not a great idea to try to fight a warhorse that killed its own rider and a couple more goblins.

Incursion

[tryrar]

My factory was churning along very nicely, so I decided to load up on rockets and try to take out a couple spawners in my car. Fun fact: running into things, including trees, damages the car rather severely. Guess what happened right next to the spawner. Yup, ran into a tree, blew up my car, and GOT MOBBED BY A BUNCH OF CREATURES >_>

Factorio. My last save was several hours ago, to boot.

[Mr Space Cat]

Got stung to death by a hummerhorn wasp. Had no armor except some filthy rags I looted off some orc scout, and I couldn't run away because the wasp moved too quickly. Not only that, but the wasp attacked several times a turn, and if the attack hit, it could confuse me. So that's fun. Most of the fight consisted of me swinging at thin air while the wasp stung me constantly.

Classic roguelike death. DYWYPI?

Sil

an Angband-like with the theme of being way more tolkein-esque.

[kisame12794]

Not so much a death, than the beginning of the end. I've lost enough countries to run into debt. I'm great at the missions, not so much at the base planning. A lack of power and Satilite uplinks has left the base pretty much the same since the beginning. It's gonna be a long slog now.
