oh, and the

beheading of Ned Stark. It sets itself up like so many other fantasy executions that I was sure a last minute rescue was imminent and he would survive. Seconds later...
It got me as well.

Doesn't help that Sean Bean is one of my favourite actors and they keep killing him off.
Did he ever survive a movie?
Silent Hill and When Saturday Comes are all I can think of off the top of my head.

What surprises me is he survives an entire war against the French in Sharpe.

Dexter

Brian Moser's Death at the end of season 1 left me distraught because he was the. Best. Antagonist. Ever.

Bioshock

I felt really dirty and used after I rammed the putter into Andrew Ryan's skull.

Scarface

I got all misty eyed when Tony Montana bit the dust at the end of Scarface.

The two fictional deaths that i remember crying to were:

The Lion King (I didn't even get close to crying at bambi's mother but this gets me every time.)

Bridge to Terabithia


I also cried at the deaths in Grave of the Fireflies and Marley and Me but they're not fictional so i guess they don't really count.

Weirdly Modern Warfare 2 & 3 had a couple of moments

When Ghost and Roach are murdered in Modern Warfare 2... They fight through all that only to be shot and burnt in an unmarked grave.

Soap's death just after he gets injured and your dragging him through the street, an I just realisation of how much blood he was losing. It made my heart just sink.

Zelda: Twilight Princess
Technically, she did not die, but when Midna broke the Twilight Mirror in Zelda: Twilight Princess, I was really, really sad.

Mass Effect 1
Ashley in Mass Effect 1. I couldn't decide between her and Kaiden...I felt like a total jerk afterwards...listening to Kaiden whine about her being the one...why wasn't there an option to kill off both characters? They both stink! :D

Mass Effect 2
Legion's dead in Mass Effect 3 was...actually, now that I think of it, not that bad. Sad, but at least he was going places, right? Assuming you got all the good outcomes...Mordin, I guess, was also sad...but I actually liked Legion more than him, so...

Neverwinter Nights
I was a young child when I played it, but Aribeth's death in Neverwinter Nights was super, super depressing. I really quite liked her. And then I learned years later that you can actually persuade her not to fight you...but then she's executed by Lord Nasher. What the hell, man.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!!!!!! He was the best character in the whole game, a complete and total badass, AND THEY JUST END HIM WITHOUT SO MUCH AS AN IMAGE?!!

Other than that, it would have to be when soldiers under my command die or innocent civilians die in any game I play. Call me sentemental, but I personally try to be like the ideal of the perfect military commander. I have a personal policy of "Save the civvies, bring all men/women home alive, screw the politics/orders." If civvies die, even if it was just an accident, I will take full responsibility for what happened (and with me, you can be 100% sure it was an accident, even in games like GTA and Saints Row). If men under my command die, then I will train a new recruit, then go back and work out my stratagies to make sure it doesnt happen again, or at least miniumize them if it cant be helped. To that end, while MY armies usually have very low casualty rates, I am downright RUTHLESS to enemy armies. Unless they surrender or retreat, expect no one to live. This is reflected in one of my favorite stratagies being what I call the "Kill Box."

Step 1) Send forces to meet enemy head on.
Step 2) Send more forces onto enemy left and right flank, unseen.
Step 3) Launch ambush on now surrounded enemy. Beat them to death with guns, and air support/artillery if available.
Step 4) Laugh as they run for thier lives screaming.

Sonic Adventure 2
Cried for hours when Shadow died. It was probably the first time I ever saw a heroic death and the tears just kept coming.

Mass Effect 3
When Mordin died, I had to put the controller down and just sobbed. Then when Thane died after his little prayer, my sister came up to me to give me a hug because I looked that depressed. Killing Kai Leng was satisfying just for what the bastard did to Thane.

Damn, I need a tissue just thinking about it.

Mordin's death in Mass Effect 3. I kind of new it was coming but... Yeah I was almost at tears! One of the best characters of the ME series.

"Had to be me someone else may have gotten it wrong!"

Cheers to Dr. Mordin Solus!
I preferred it when his final words were something like "Would have enjoyed testing those seashells" calling back to an earlier conversation with Shep about retiring to a beach. It reminded me of everything I loved about that guy.
If he'd been romanceable my femshep would have boffed him all the way into the middle of Mass Effect 4.

The death of Eli Vance. It was just so sad. ;~; Plus, the fade away when you hear Alyx crying is just so... saaaaaaaaad. D':

In Bioshock, the murder of Andrew Ryan is different but hits me hard either way. You get so far into plasmids and he still uses a gold club. >,>

And in Bioshock 2, all the innocent people used to make the Big Daddies. Well... before the not so innocent came around. Like the very first one! Big Daddy Delta. Poor guy.

Honestly? The one that hit me the hardest was probably Knight_Peculier from Shadow of Israphel, the Minecraft series by Yogscast. Why? It comes out of nowhere, and he's been with the series forever. That's in terms of series, I suppose. Games, probably Acro, the horse from SotC. Yeah, yeah, I know he doesn't really die. But I thought he died originally.

Omfg that was sad man, I miss the old yogscast that wasn't "acted" but that was a huge bummer.

And it was just so sudden too.

Captcha: Father Time... Damn you Father Time.

Dumbledore's death. For a while, I disliked Snape for his involvement in said death... boy did I feel like a jerk when I read the last book... Hell, Snape's eath in the last book was bad too..
Man... when I saw the movie of part 2 in the theatre, about a year ago from today infact, and Harry looked into the memories from his tears...

So much sadness...

For games:
Carlos. It wasn't that he died (he was a relatively minor character after all), but it was the manner of his death. It's pretty heart wrenching to watch.

I won't list my book or movie/tv choices, they've been pretty well covered already.

Mine would be the Hunger games if read the book or seen the movie you would see what I mean I was litterally in tears for a few min.
