My last death was due to getting overconfident in 7 Days To Die.
I'd occupied an "Information Center", which I can only assume was for zombie tourists. It was all going relatively well, as the Information Center was surprisingly defensible, but the Day 7 Horde hit hard and I ended up having to use my hunting rifle to kill some of the dogs.
On the plus side, my mine was producing potassium nitrate and coal in abundance, so I devoted a bunch of time to making ammo the next day. Then suddenly an enormous, ridiculously huge horde came shambling through and I had to bug out. I should have realised then that I'd made too much noise and was attracting attention, but I was too enamoured of my new shiny ammo supply and made my way back into the Information Center by sniping hornets and dogs and waiting for the rest of the gargantuan horde to bugger off. Which it eventually did, just before nightfall.
By this point I was getting hungry so I headed in and started up the cooking fire. It didn't occur to me that perhaps having the cookfire and the forge running at the same time when the area was already too "hot" and my spike defences were still trashed (as I'd been spending most of the day hiding) was not the best idea ever.
Suddenly the whole damn place was swarming. A large zombie started smashing at my door, but I couldn't see any others, so I figured I could open the door, snipe the head off the fat one, and close it again...
Dumb idea. It was after dark, and they get fast after dark. There were about 6 of them, and before I knew what was happening I was being torn apart.
I could have respawned but I play a kind of hardcore mode, so I've started again from scratch.
