Not a personal death, but an enemy wizard with that silly-named 4th level fire spell got a cheap shot at Frederick, knocking him down enough for the rest of the army to gang up on him and end him.

Fire Emblem: Awakening

Chapter 20, woooo

It is to be expected. Frederick ends up rather weak towards the end of the game.

NEVER

MYSELF, MY DRAGON WIFE, AND FREDERICK WILL POWER THROUGH, CRUSH WALMART, AND SAVE THE UNIVERSE AFTER THE LOOSE ENDS FROM CHAPTER 13 ARE TIED UP

LONG LIVE FREDERICK THE GREAT

I still can't drop him, because I already lost most of the people you meet before the Arena Ferox level.

WALMART/Anna should totally have been a thing in-game.  Prices aren't the only things being cut.

...she is.

She's a Trickster, recruitable through the Paralogues you unlock by enabling Spotpass. She gets her own little story! It's under Menu -> Wireless

Also, Tawarochir, who did you lose?

Yes, but she doesn't have supports with anyone except the main character, Tiki, and her child Morgan.  That's a distinct lack of supports with WALMART Walhart after you recruit him, hence my little joke.

I last died by slipping off a mountain in Skyrim.  Herp.

True, but the Valkyrie class gets a skill that lets anyone paired with them have the same benefits as an A-rank support. Of course, you don't actually get the character interaction.

Jeeeeeezus. So assuming who you lost, you're going to be able to recruit all of the paralogue characters except Yen'fay. Second gen characters you will have: Inigo, Noire, Nah, Morgan, Gerome, Lucina. That's... less than ideal. Morgan's going to be tough, but that's really it. (Tiki is a better mother for Morgan if you gotta have a dragon though.) Also, you're missing Panne!? Woah, woah. Panne's okay on her own, but her children are far stronger. Yarne usually ends up one of your strongest meleers.

Here's who I lost:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

-Frederick
-Lissa (though I recruited Owain before I lost Lissa)
-Henry
-Tharja (and thus Noire)
-Libra
-Cherche (and thus Gerome)
-Cordelia
-Sumia
-Owain
-Cynthia
-Vaike
-Miriel (and thus Laurent)
-Whatsisname the swordgirl from Chonsin, and by proxy her brother Yen'fay
-Severa, as I failed to recruit her before she promptly got herself gutted by bandits.

On the plus side, I do have Emmeryn, Priam and Walmart in my party. Emmeryn in particular is pretty good, as she's got the highest MAG of anyone in the game (capping at 50, +2 from mage, +5 from Tomefaire, +4 more from Rally Mag every turn).

Priam's a melee powerhouse, comes with Sol, Luna, high base stats, decent growths, and three Breaker skills (You can grab Bowbreaker if you reclass him, but you lose out on Sol or Luna).

I really like OFP's air combat, because it makes you think about 3D space. Using the alt key, you can look around without changing the direction of your plane. It's great for confirming kills.

I was chasing down a radar contact when I heard the loud crash of yet another midair collision and used the free look to check out the damage. I notice way too late that the contact was heading towards me, rather than away.

There are also many times I've clipped a tree and exploded because I was too busy chasing a target to notice that I was losing altitude.

Operation Flashpoint.

[Mech#4]

Clicked on a chain until I got levitation. I tried to levitate up a level but somehow got magicked in midair. Died.
Opened a door, saw a warrior and an imp and a burst of magick. Died.
Tried to jump through a window. Fell through the floor and into the void. Reload.
Jumped onto a lift, fell through the lift and into the void. Reload.
Fell down a hole and into water. Surrounded by four slaughterfish. Died.
Jumped by a Vampire at level 1. Died.

And yet I keep coming back to play it occasionally.

After some 18 hours of gameplay I've reached an unwinnable position. The council decided to give me the stupid whale mission on the US 3 times in a row, which of course I turned down because I didn't have a prayer of completing it. This raised the panic level in the US up to 100, but luckily I had a satellite that would go up 1 day before the council report, reducing panic levels. However, the day before the report a high-flying UFO shoots down the satellite (without it even going operational). The US withdraws, dropping my net funding levels to a grand total of 8 credits per month, stopping me from actually buying the cool new weapons I desperately needed. With 6 countries withdrawn, no income, and aliens upgraded enough that they can 1-shot me but I can barely scratch them, it's time to admit defeat.

On the subject of humanity not actually waiting for results before slashing founding and offering their rotund buttocks up on silver platters . . .

I set up shop in America, because just to shake it up a bit (I dont do American starts usually, Im actually fond of the ME area) and the aliens slammed into Russia and Europe, destroying my funding as Im desperately attempting to erect a base there.  Now, we start seeing mid-range baddies, and my soldiers dont even have a set of upgraded armor for each man (24 for 3 bases), let alone a plethra of laser weaponry.

what's that?  for an extra million dollars funding you can save the world?  Have a net profit of 400,000.  Ugh, that last base is what did me in, but I was hoping the extra cash from improved relations/crashed ufos would pay for it.  Not the case . . .

Xenonauts.  I just watched us spend all of our grenades nuking chryslids, because our guns wouldn't do the trick.  Half the squad because a reptile dude came up our flank.

I walked off a floating island while running from harpies. And my grapping hook decided to miss.

Oh whoops, I accidentally picked up the dice I already threw. Better put it back down.

I'm doing the /vr/ Retro Game Gauntlet. How it works:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- A web generator gives you a random game from a retro console's library, starting with the NES.

- You have 3 days to beat that game, or up to a week if it's a JRPG or other notoriously long game. For games with no ending, you have to beat the high score set by the last participant who played that game.

- If you beat that game in the allotted time, you move on to the next console, and so on until you fail to finish a game or complete the gauntlet.

- All throughout, post about your experiences and the game you're playing in the current Retro Gauntlet thread on /vr/.

The game I got was "Little Ghosts", a Japan-only action game where you tie up tomatoes in pink boxes using a rope while avoiding turnips with sunglasses, flies in top hats and orange off-model Pacman. The game is stupidly easy until you meet the fly, who follows you non-stop and will take any opportunity to maneuver in front of you. I game over'd three times on the first stage you meet him on.

Little Ghosts.

I remember doing well in Spelunky. Stole a shotgun, shotgunned the storekeeper and murdered all the other ones that appeared at the exits. Then died on the ice levels since slippy.

World 3 is pretty much the worst. I used to try to get through it as fast as possible but then I realized that rushing in a slippery level means that you're more likely to fall to your doom.
