How did you last die?
« on: December 26, 2012, 04:14:12 PM »

Tell us how you died in the video game you were most recently playing. Place the name of your game into a spoiler. More than one death in a single post is acceptable. Detail is encouraged. Try to avoid posting deaths from Starfarer too much, as I'm sure we get plenty of that in the rest of the forum, but if you think your last death was particularly ball-busting (it wasn't) and that we'll just love to hear about it (we won't), that's fine too. That is all.


Impaled by a violent Zoa (icky plant-thing with a spike on its head(?)), then fell into a pool of acid.

Lead an epic charge which I knew I could not win against the combined kings of Calradia. 253 men, trained to the edge, against nearly 2,000. We fought to the last man, with them victorious with but 24 soldiers left.

Stalking the streets of Chernogorsk at night, with a small force of rag-tag scavenger types, flash-lights carving through the claustrophobic darkness. A small *thwip* was heard from the abyss then a thud and the screen turning a deep red. The end.

Cut off a minotaurs head but at the cost of (wait for it) an arm and a leg. I then bled out, but at least my death was not for nothing. The town of beertrousers will be safe.

Commanding a steam-powered corvette against another, I had 13 guns, the enemy, 12. My one gun advantage could not match their explosive shells, especially in the fog. The enemy closed in before we can do any serious damage and started pounding on us with explosives. We overheated our engines getting away and got most of our ships burned off. Recovering just in time to see the enemy ship coming up next to us and preparing to board. The men surrendered soon after.

Was leading an assault when the first force made contact with a Goliath tracked mine and resulted in a cascade explosion that destroyed half of my assault tanks.
