Coolest video game player death?

[mrhappyface]

In my experience with video games, there are many strange ways to die. Getting turned into a gold statue, getting decapitated and having your head replaced by a parasitic alien, or glitching through a floor and falling to your death. Do you, members of the Escapist, have any particular favorite way to end your mortal coil?

Getting turned into a gold statue

What game is that? Sounds awesome.

OT: Massive explosions and falling from really high up. There's just something so entertaining about them.

Death by fork. Damn you fork of Horriptulation!

in CoD4, on District in hardcore team death match, we spawned as marines. me and my friend went to the right. he threw a flashbang between the buildings into the ally on the other side and direct impacted a guy in the head with it. it was the funniest death id ever seen. needless to say, they used 203s the rest of the match, thinking it was a n00b t00b. we still won.

in STALKER shadow of chernobyl, if you wish to be rich at teh sarcophagus, a nail fall in his hand, but he's hallucinating and it looks like a gold coin, so lots of nailsstart falling but they look like gold coins to him, tehn he looks up and smiles and tehn gets crushed by part of the roof, as he dies he clutches the nail/coin. epicest

Blowing yourself up with a pile of mines in Fallout 3.

The Gold Statue death was from the first Tomb Raider

This post is very original. It is completely different from those posts about "coolest character, coolest bad guy, coolest final battle, etc" posts.

There were some pretty cool ones in resident evil 5 *Cough* Having ol' faggotwank pierce your stomach with his bare hands *Cough*. But hands down, though I can't really think of much at the moment, flying up to the highest point the programmers will allow, diving out of your helicopter and getting skewed by the proppellor blades in GTA 4 is fairly hard to beat. Oh, and there are many funny, awesome and just overall cool deaths in I wWanna Be The Guy...Like being crushed by a gigantic Dr Mario pill. Oh and just for the record, Faggotwank is the name me and my friend gave Albert Wesker when we were playing through well, resident evil 5.

Oh so many cool videogame deaths. It's nearly impossible to choose! Are we talking about an enemy, or for yourself? I

n RE: 4 Those Regenerators had cool deaths. They kinda popped, like balloons. Only, you know, they blew up first.

And in Grand Theft Auto, I once jumped out of a helicopter going at full speed and smashed into the side of a building so fast that the camera didn't even follow me, and instead kept going forward with the helicopter. I died off screen.

In Deadrising, there are lots of fun squishy ways to kill zombies. Like jamming a shower head into their necks and watching blood poor out of their heads, or rolling a bowling ball at them and watching them crash. The Soccer-ball was kicked at a high speed, and knocked over tons of zombies like a flying death ball. And the giant swords cut people in half, diagonally.

In Fallout 3, the wide variety of gory death could be seen everywhere. A particular favorite was putting an active mine in the pants of a super mutant, and watching it panic. Personally, I played through a game once, and there was a point in the Germantown Police HQ where I hid behind a piece of broken wall, and shot the head off of a super-mutant talking to another super-mutant, and his head just popped. And the other super mutant didn't even care, and just stood there, waiting to get his head popped off too.

Videogames have a habit of making death exciting. Like every "FINISH HIM" in mortal combat.

Saint's Row 2. First time I fly plane over Stillwater, I shoot up as far as I can. The plan was to leap out and play around with the skydiving feature. Unfortunately, the plane was vertical when I jumped out, so my guy clips the wing, which just makes his body completely limp and lifeless. I watch helplessly for about 10-15 seconds as he plummets to the ground.

One that happened to my friend was on Battlefield 2. I forgot what map it was, but it had an carrier for a spawn point. Every time my friend spawned, some guy would just fly over to the carrier in his jet and hit my friend right off of the carrier. He never shot him. He just flew ultra close to the surface of the carrier and hit him right off.

Surviving a nuclear explosion and fall of a helicopter, only to crawl through a dead, radiation-soaked town for a few seconds before you finally die alone, far away from home.

Tidus did it with real style.

Taking a running dive off an airship, high-fiving his dad on the way down before joining him in oblivion.

Really sad to see him go.

Quest for Glory had a slew of them.

Using lockpicks to pick one's nose...to death!

Getting killed by a spazzing corpse in FO3. The spazzing corpses themselves are common enough, but it's rare to see them kill something, let alone myself.
