Alright people, post the nastiest/weirdist/funnyest ways to kill or be killed in a videogame, whatever it is from getting your ead' sliced clean of by a muppet with a chainsaw to being kissed to death... there's allways one way of kicking the bucket that shocks you (or in somecase's, you makes you drop on the floor laughing.)

So... to start. Being defeated by someone using a paintbrush as a weapon (Soul Calaber 3)... "Paintbrush of DOOM!!!"

Pick a Sierra adventure game. Any of them.

Seriously, the Space Quest series stands out for the gruesome, yet hilarious, ways you could meet your maker. From inhaling fumes that melted your head, to being encased in Jell-o or any of the other bizarre manners of death lurking in that series.

when ganon is inpaled in the head with the mastersword, Then turns to stone...

Too add insult to injury... He saw it coming!

Fps doug eat your heart out.

Here's a funny way to get a game over...

In Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, when facing the final boss they ask you if you want to join them. If you agree, the game ends and you're treated to a short message about how the two of you took over the world.

Haha! My favorites were "decelleration trauma" (the fall wsn't so bad it was just the sudden stop at the end!) and When the giant battleship approaches and you choose to do nothing about it, "Duhh... You died cuz you were stupid!"

I remember the "Escape from the Haunted <insert location here> custom games on WarCraft III. They weren't official maps, but damn were they hard. Touch anything and you die, getting a message explaining your death to you.

Examples:

Touch a rock: "You stub your toe on a rock, trip, and get impaled by a pebble."

Touch a tree: "A tree fell on you. What are the odds..."

Touch a car: "Looks like soccer mom took her road rage out on you."

etc.

My favorite ways to die were in those point and click games Shadowgate, Uninvitied, and Deja Vu. Basically any time you made a wrong choice, or your torch ran out, or you were too slow at something, BAM

You have died

Sometimes you got a little bit of extra animation

Ooh, the old ICOM adventure games. Those scared the crap out of me when I played them! Especially Shadowgate. *shivers*

Goddamnit that was a good game.

Aaaaw, I was going to say that!

Look at my avatar, that's actually one of the deaths from Uninvited.

Ghost, begone!

Wasn't there like... a giant tomato in the garden that would eat you, or something?

The ape's in Monster hunter freedom 2. they can take a sh*t in a middle of a battle and that can kill you. Damn dirty apes!

Clocktower.

Look up a chimney? Something pulls you into it and you die. Open a door? Fall off of a cliff that the door for some reason opens onto. Open a drawer? A fucking severed hand jumps out of it and strangles you to death.

Seriously, almost ANYTHING you did on that game would kill you. :/

The first Monkey Island game features the only way to die in the entire series. What happens is a bad guy ties Guybrush to a golden idol and throws him off a bridge. If you wait there for ten minutes, Guybrush drowns.

Blasto. A button says "Do Not Press". I press it.

I disintegrate.

The Sims 2

Go out skygazing during the day only to have a satellite fall on you.

If you're a real slob who doesn't clean house and too cheap to hire a maid, you'll be food for the fly swarms gathering in that messy kitchen of yours.

Oh... and anyone who moves into the recently deceased slob's house will really be scared to death. If not from the huge mess inside, then from seeing the ghost of the guy who left it there.

The sims was full of all sorts of interesting ways to kill people. I still think the most pathetic was the guy who came over to my house to hang out. When I didn't answer the door, he meandered out into the middle of my lawn and starved to death. I guess he decided to go on a hunger strike until I let him in.

I also liked to wall in the thief before he'd get into my house. Starving to death in a pool of your own urine was a pretty common thing in my games. Plus I'm sure everybody built at least one house full of wooden furniture and a stove.

"I want to be the guy", a flash game that is glitched up. (havent played it but seen videos of it), Just think megaman but Bloody hard...Litterary...

Falling apples kill you

Falling star's kill you

ryu from Street fighter will pop out from the ground and kill you...

I'll post more...I might go play it...

Okay maybe not the file is huge and i got other important things that i cant do if im dead...

I don't think it really counts as "glitched up" since it's supposed to be ridiculously hard.

Oh Phil Hartman, where are you now?

Oh yeah, the Sims has great ways to kill people.

The weirdest thing that ever happened in one of my sims games was that the same moment a baby transformed into a kid, some other game notification (go to work or something) popped up. Then I got twins, neither of whom I could control or interact with. They were breaking stuff and making the place dirty and making food ALL THE TIME and they wouldn't go to school so my only solution was to kill them. Because I didn't have a pool, the only thing I could do was wait til they went into a non-necessary room and delete the door. It took those terminator kids WEEKS to die. It was kind of weird. The parents would 'think' of the kids occassionally. Meanwhile they were urinating all over the floor while they slowly starved to death in the bedroom.

So... what? The game glitched up and gave you realistic children?

I know that too but if your recording it you got through some platforms aswell.. Plus go through some walls...

Yes, and killing them was the most reasonable way to deal with them, haha


I'm sure there was something else wrong though because I've never been a sims micro-manager, I usually just let them do what they want. It must have affected game performance somehow or interfered with objects or something.

hmm... I'll say Thrill Kill: gratuitous and hilarious violence for the win! it featured some really sick finishing moves

I remember playing King's Quest - I forget which one - and I was walking out of a house, and looked away from the screen for a moment - and then I looked back, I was tumbling down the absurdly tall, cork-screw shaped mountain to my inevitable, gory death. It was... sort of unexpected. o.O

Arnt all WTF type kills unexpected?

Just before the starting level in saints row. i just walked to the saint's church and a random police car went and ran me over. killing me...

All i said was "TIME PARADOX!!!"

Honestly I always thought it was funny when Lara Croft died in games, particularly when she fell a long way...she'd just land with a "crunch" and look completely mangled. XD

Perhaps though it's only funny to me and my sister...

It was kind of funny when she drowned, too.

Zork is the name of this game, I think...

Walk around in a cave without a candle, and you get eaten by a grue.
