The weirdest way to die in a video game?

[shaolincowboy]

Hi guys,

Here's an article on strange video game deaths. Covers 1986 to now. Pretty funny.

The seven weirdest ways to die in a video game - Killscreen Poetry

Also raises the question – are there any weirder deaths?

Interesting find.

I'd say the weirdest way would be a physics error like being caught in the plane of a wall [a clipping error i guess is what you'd call it].

I've not seen any friendly fire in video games, that'd be a weird way to go.

Preparing to toss a plasma grenade when a Grunt runs straight into you and you plant the grenade on his head instead of tossing it away. With the stupid thing stuck to you.

In what game could that happen??

Assassin's Creed: Killed by being pushed by an enemy into an area that the main character can't remember.

Crysis: Killed by touching a dead body(I think this was fixed with the latest patch, though).

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Killed by loading the last save game. There were no enemies nearby, and my health (and armor) was full. I was simply standing by a wall when I saved the game. As soon as I loaded it - "Game Over."

Just about every FPS: Death by crotch shot.

Repeatedly being shot in the foot. 'Nuff said.
