There's a way to disable that Ragnarok attack, but I can't remember what it was.

I know, I wasn't actually fighting him when he had it, as per my original post.

The turrets in Mothership Zeta sure do shoot fast. They're not TOO powerful, but my DR is usually ~17 and, coupled with that glitch that makes it impossible to target a turret in VATS makes them... Kinda formidable. And deadly.

Fallout 3

[Donuts]

So MGSV had some big update or something, I went in to check it out. Turns out it's just a few new items and some FOBstuff. I died a bit inside.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain... I really got phantom pains from this game alright.

Well, some FOB stuff also means that players won't automatically alerted to your presence as long as you don't make the base go into alert mode.
So the sneaky approach is actually viable.

Jumped into an instant-death river to dodge a rocket, with the intention to teleport out before I hit the water. Shot teleporter pad, it lands safely on bank. Pressed teleport bu... "Incoming Pass". Caught bomb, which happens automatically, and blocks use of weapons, including teleporter. Hit water.

UT2004. I died a lot more, of course, but this was the one that stood out.

[Steelmagic]

Not really a total death, but a Spanish plane put a hole in the hull of my North Korean sub, so I sent a guy to fix it. Turns out North Korean sailors have no sense of self-preservation, and he drowned because the entire room was filled with water. And the room that flooded was the hall to the equipment storage, so I couldn't get him a breathing mask.

I have to congratulate your dying water elemental on giving orders even as he expired.

Playing a NationGen game and I have sacred giants who turn into water elementals when they die. EH here countered my "send buttload of nigh invincible units" strategy by murdering my commander-prophet with a slew of seeking arrows from the map screen. But the bastard didn't go down without fighting, as noted by EH himself

Hungry massive spiders in a cave. Ate my soul. Ark SE is a fun game.

[EnigmaticHat]

I dropped everything in my inventory that could be identified except the one thing I wanted identified.  Then I picked up my potions one at a time and drank them.

Or at least that was the plan.  First potion I drink: "I sink down through the floor!  It was a potion of descent."

Well shit.  There goes all my stuff.

Infra Arcana

The helicopter in ARMA 2 is much twitchier and a hell of a lot faster than the choppers in Cold War Crisis, or at least it appears that way. I went flying past the training target at 200 miles per hour. I went into third person to see the orientation of my helicopter, which caused me to lose control and fall into the ocean.

ARMA 2. So far, I'm... not really liking it as much as Cold War Crisis, even though they're basically the same game.

If you order someone to get equipment even if the storage room is flooded, and they can get to the storage locker in time, they won't drown as long as you get them the mask in time.

[Mephisto]

Immediate existence failure.

I was scouting around in my (quite expensive) mining ship that required me to dismantle all four starting ships as well as a few passersby to construct. While scouting, I ran into some derelicts. I didn't have the components on hand to join the derelicts to mine so I decided to deconstruct existing bits to do so.

I dismantled one bit of ceiling and died. My only guess is the derelict spawned with the properties of a Prince Rupert's Drop as I didn't see anything when I died.

Space Engineers. I never found the miner again. After that loss of resources, I deleted the save and restarted.

Lessons learned: Write the gps coords of home on a piece of paper in addition to making a mark in-game. Put a medical bay on all large ships so I can respawn at them and fly home.

[Rolan7]

Got my ass kicked by lovey-dovey J-pop ("Make A Difference" by Lala Moore with... CoCoRo*Co.  That's what it says, I swear.)
This flipping song.  Long story short, it keeps setting up step patterns then switching to different ones...  And doesn't seem to be following the music very closely.  It's also pretty long, and I keep losing on the very last section where the steps go wild.
I also think I have to get every hold right, because it says that's the challenge.  Even though it doesn't boot me when I miss one...  Just when I run out of 4 lives (no energy bar for you!)

Also I was a bit too desperate to hit a step and lets just say I'm sitting down for a while.

Still it's kinda amazing.  All the rage and quasimasochism which made me waste hours and hours on N, They Bleed Pixels, and even that piece of crap Super Meat Boy (not to mention countless other crappy flash platformers) is pushing me to work out.  Just like the old days.  It's got that "one more try" thing down good.

Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2
On PS2, natch.  I like to relax with Rez, but even that can be a workout.  Like trying to relax at a discotheque.
I lost my copies of Frequency and Amplitude though ):

To actually relax, Disgaea.  Grinding levels or item worlds is mostly soooo repetitive, great way to fall asleep.

[itisnotlogical]

My team walks two steps and goes prone... Two steps, prone... Two steps, prone... And while I'm just standing around at 4x regular game speed waiting for them to catch up, a grenade lands at my feet and blows me up.

ARMA 2.
