I do think about death a lot when killing people in games.
I try to imagine characters last images and thoughts when I do whatever. It's...odd.

It doesn't feel depressing but it feels like it should be.

For this reason I always prefer a sneak kill, where the victim never knows what's happened.

I think about death quite often. I'm the sort of person who sits around contemplating why, if you play the sound file for the zombie head crabs in halflife 2 backwards, they say, "help god oh god help," so of course I think of death a lot. I think of the reason for death, how to prepare for death, mortality, the loss of family, and a shitload of other things. I'm a man of thought. I'm way too much of a coward to be a man of action. Also, I pace while I think. That pisses off my twin sister, and is therefore worth it.

More than I would like to that's for sure. I hate thinking about my death, and in games, I sometimes think of all the NPC's I have to murder to complete a mission in a RPG game, like if they had a family, and what would they think about me.

Oh occasionally, especially when I read something that sparks that line of thinking.

Who will I meet? What will it be like? Will it be painless? Will there be pie or cake?

These questions need answering!

Only when I get into my "What's the worse that could hapen?" scenarios.

So fairly often. I tend to over think things.

Mommy and Daddy told me that Grandpa and Grandma went on a very long trip, so I haven't experienced death yet. And I probably won't. Ever.

Except when I put a Colt .45 inbetween someone's eyes. THEN there's a chance they might die...

Define "death". Death as in death itself and the possibility of an afterlife, Death as in when you might die, Death as in how you might die or Death as in suicide?

I think about all four every now and then. I find death fascinating. It's mankind's last adventure, into the darkness of oblivion and eternity ...

I used to think about it often and be paranoid of death... But now? I actually haven't thought of it for months until I saw this topic.

occasionally, but in a not morbid, or depressing way.

my mind makes absolutely no sense and sleeping pills don't help.

Pretty simple question, how often do you think about death and what reasons do you have?
Well, I never said it was MY death I was thinking about.

Odd question. Uh, think about it alot more than a teen probably should, but I'm freakin paranoid of everything ending in the worst possible way. Plane rides are fun!

Not too often anymore; I went through all my existential crises and profound contemplation of reality a few years ago and pretty much figured it out; not in the sense that I have solutions, but in that I know what I believe and how I feel about it and what is important. Death is something you can't do anything about, so why worry? What happens will happen.

What I find more interesting is the concept that we could be the last mortal generation. my children might be immortal. Is that not crazy?

On topic: No, I don't think about death much, there is too much life to think about.

Everyday as it seems to relate to everything else I do in one way or another. I try to avoid thinking about it when I'm depressed though.
