I stand corrected. Still, it seems none of these people qualify. Some of them might be worthy of an honorable mention though.

To qualify for a Darwin Award, you would have to die. So this is just a list of silly people doing silly stuff.

That Discworld reference. :) At least I'd like to think it was a deliberate reference to Rincewind.

What I find kind of sad about the evolution of the whole Valkyria Chronicles series is how it has shifted from firearm based combat to everyone swinging a sword around. This started in VC2, where they added an alternative anti-tank weapon in the form of a giant hammer, apparently in VC3 - which...

Oh, if that is the case, It's far more reasonable than I first thought. If they manage to deliver good quality I won't complain about paying for 20$ DLC.

I think these changes are mostly fine, I'm a bit iffy about making weapons unbreakable, but it's not a major issue. What IS a major issue is the whole "splitting the game into different versions to get more money" thing. It's not satisfying to play a game and finish it and then think I'm...

I really dislike how they made strike craft so weak they are close to useless for the HW1 campaign. Multi-gun corvettes are the only useful corvettes, against large groups of fighters, when your larger ships would take too long. Only fighters of any use are bombers and even those when your...

I think the taboo of incest is overblown in modern culture. By this I mean consensual sexual relationship between close relatives, not any kind of sexual abuse. With the ease by which pregnancies can be prevented these days, the risk of children can be pretty much eliminated, so I would have no...

The latest that comes to mind is in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I had just beaten the second to last boss and as soon as I was in control again, I walked into a frag mine I had just placed there myself. Luckily the game autosaves right after bosses.
