[Sloppy Jimbo IV]

[Magnum]

good thread



WWII game called Mission X

died in a fiery B-17 Bomber crash

[jim]

Saints Row, run over by a cop.

[SubSane]

Call of Juarez. Sliced up by a crazed man wielding a hatchet after he stormed out of an outhouse.

Awesome game.

[gonz]

the last video game i actually played was a homestar runner one, so i guess it was in that.

[RJF]

sonic advance.
Knuckles went all silver and fired some crazy rockets at me.

[Tino]

Halo 2.
Some guy killed me with a sword, but you tend to die a lot in Halo.

[Nebuchanezzar]

Sadly...I cannot remember. I haven't played many character games in quite some time. :(

[SubSane]

But surely there is some form of violence or destruction that befalls the protagonist ship/car/thing/pixels?

[Ninjendo]

Metroid Prime Hunters

Stupid Dark Samus killed me while I was looking the other way :silly:

[kupomog]

Stupid Dark Samus killed me while I was looking the other way :silly:

I dunno why but that made me laugh.

Tomb Raider: Anniversary for me. Numerous jumps timed wrong, numerous falls into lava pools. Poor Lara.

[General Jack D. Ripper]

Super Paper Mario in the final boss fight. Stupid Dimentio, kill me will ya?

[RJF]

Super mario bros.3
Got eaten by one of those giant fish.

[Gunstar]

Blew up by some random prick with a grenade launcher in Syphon Filter 3.

Oh man. I hate that fuckin' fish so much.

Yep I've just been doing that, of course turning into gold is awesome.

[Jims]

Mega Man 2. Man, I hate Quick Man's level.

[skittlebrau]

Pulled out my Nintendo looking for something and just had to play Friday the 13th (yes, Friday the 13th) for fun. I actually made it to the third level until Jason finally killed both Mark and Crissy, leaving me with the slowpoke ass lame counselors. Needless to say, I turned it off and put it away.

Before that, numerous falls from mistimed jumps and camera changes in mid-air which sent Lara plummeting to her doom in Tomb Raider: Anniversary. Ahh, St. Francis' Folly, how I missed you.

[Kuje]

Accidentally got into a shootout with the mafia while trying to kill a Triad in St. Marks.

[SubSane]

Pulled an all-nighter with CoJ on XBLIVE, so the last death was probably from some bitchass sniper hiding on a hill somewhere.

Also, when did they start letting little foul-mouthed kids play online?

[Gatorgod]

Last night,...playing A CGI Tron (http://www.gltron.org/) light cycle game, choose a floor level angle to fight on instead of an overhead view, plus I choose the interior of the cycle view instead of riding behind it. You cant see the vehicle your in, but it gives you a more realistic, scarier, In the Game feel.

I was doing well, I forced my Blue opponent crashing into the arena wall, and the yellow cycle went to pieces when it T-boned against my jet wall. ...But I foolishly followed the Red cycle into a maze that after a few seconds of hair pin turns, I quickly found the red devil had choked off the exit and sent me to cyber-heaven. :(

[Sniper Squirrel]

Rocket Knight Adventures, that fucking lava mirror level

[BigButtSkinner]

Jimbo I just love how you put the "in a video game" part in parentheses :D

That damn 3-headed thing killed me in Super Paper Mario, but that's okay because that is the MOST. AWESOME. BOSS FIGHT. EVER.

[Magnum]

died on stage

that damn third solo in Institutionalized

[Stackhouse]

gears of war, some guy's chainsaw

[Wonderboy]

Shadowrun demo, I forget exactly how, but damn is it fun.

[Dental Plan!]

Uh....I think in Comix Zone. Damn, Sketch dies easily.

[Gatorgod]

I always wondered what was going on between Pacman and those Ghost monsters? ..No back ground story that I'm aware of. If there isn't one, somebody should make one up. Pac ain't getting shot at, and the Ghost don't appear to eat him, He just whithers and dissolves from merely touching a ghost. ...A bad case of nerves on Pacman's part? are the ghost poison?

[Henrik P]

In GTA: Vice City Stories, I was shot by Mendez.

Pac Man accidentally ate the ghosts' grandparents, while on a morning run. While dieing, their Grandpas last wish was to avenge his death. So the ghosts coat themselves with poison, and chase pacman into and around a cleverly designed maze. When Pac eats a power pellet, the ghosts poisonous coating mysteriously vanishes, instead replaced by their original blue coating. BUT NOT FOR LONG.

[4 Alarm Chilli]

in san andreas-blew up in aircraft accident!

[moneychair2003]

got killed in gears on xbox live

[Sniper Squirrel]

Fatal Labyrinth, starved to death

[sacrelicious]

Twilight Princess - fell into a pit too many times while snowbording against Yeta. Of course being a perfectionist, I didn't save it so when I pass the game I will have died 0 times. :D

[H Thompson]

You not going to get any reward based on that, you know.

Anyway, last time lara died it was from two sliding walls crashing together while she was trying to balance on a pole, although oddly she was still in perfect shape when the walls came back apart.

[Sloppy Jimbo IV]

thank god. if theres any video game character who's open casket material its lara croft

i havent died recently in any games. i finally beat dracula the other day though. bloody bastard

[vox]

[AngryDad33]

GTA: Vice City Storys-Car blew up.

[Kiyosuki]

If you've never played European Extreme mode in Metal Gear Solid 2, its worth it just for the initial experience.

[sacrelicious]

Can't beat that, but it sounded like such an intriging game I played it a few times. Best I've gotten so far is 4:03.

[The mayor of Albuquerque]

Civilization III - my country was overrun by the damn bloodthirsty Germans.

That happened to me a lot in that one glitched vertical structure in the Obelisk of Khamoon >:

Such a fucking horrible glitch, you can't land on the pole and when you do you always lose balance and if you DON'T then you just plain won't have enough time to jump anyway because you can only get it to register when the walls have been open for a bit. But the solution is so simple to pull off that it's not too bad.

GUoal5VQ00A

I miss Lara's REAL deaths, stinking Teen rating :(

[Tab]

So out of curiousity incase I play it myself, what was the bypass?

[H Thompson]

It's passable by just retrying, but it's just a little frustating, the grapple hook can be annoying too it often doesn't register that you've pressed it. There's been quite a few glitches in it actually, you'd almost think it was deliberate and part of creating a nostalgic feel.

[kupomog]

There's no point in trying to jump on the pole at all. Even if you're not glitched there's no point. The bypass is to just double jump over while the wall is closed and mash the Interact button so that Lara grabs the ledge. If you don't push the button, she will not bother grabbing. It's way easier and way faster than anything involving trying to jump on the pole to begin with. And do the same thing on the way out. Makes Time Trial a breeze...at that part.

Gears of War. A locust inexplicably appeared through a wall I was standing against and slaughtered me.

[Greased Scotsman]

Had a Smash Bros Melee marathon today, so I died about 200 times in various forms.

[NegaDuck]

Hitman: Blood Money

I was setting up the bomb on the piano in the alley on the Mardi Gras level so I could detonate it and make it fall on that girl. I ran up there and set the bomb, but I saw her start walking. I panicked, pulled out my gun and jumped off the ledge I was on.. Only to fall about ten feet and die, all while seeing her standing RIGHT under the piano as I'm dying, even though I saw her walk AWAY from the piano. Stupid crazy AI...

[grissom]

Rockets only match in Halo 2. I died many, many times.

[gonz]

gears of war - i'm fucking stuck because i havent got any ammo and the only way i can kill this bunch of grubs is by chainsawing all of them. after sneaking all the way up to where the grubs were attacking, i managed to kill about two of them, and was then gunned down by about 5 more that came into the room

[sacrelicious]

Cave of Ordeals, Twilight Princess.

Man that was harder than I thought it would be. Just going to bulk up again and go at it.
