Strangest deaths

[TerribleAssassin]

So, people of The Escapist, what are your strangest video game deaths?

Mine? Walking along the side of a train tracks, as in the waiting place, on GTA IV, a train came and hit me and killed me.


lulz were a plenty..

The countless times I have just fallen over dead in many, many games. Absolutely no reason to die, I just do.

Erm, can't remember any notable ones right now. I'm the master of bouncing a grenade around a room, and have it land at my feet, though.

Oh, and in Q3A the space map with all the lifts - I'm fantastic at quad-rocketing myself - collect quad damage, launch self back towards main area, fire rocket, land, rocket catches up.

In Fallout Three I was in one of the tunnels fighting a deathclaw, only to randomly explode as if a mini nuke went off. turns out Charon had picked up a nuke for the fatman I didn't want to carry. That's about all I can remember.

The swing-set on the first island in GTA4.

if you drive on to it and place your car next to it, it will launch you after a little while, i did the same by accident with Niko, I almost made it to the second island, i landed on one of the bridges and died.

Recently in Red Dead Redemption a bear slapped me off a ridge and into a river. It was pretty funny watching Marston flailing around in midair as he fell >

Just had one in mount and blade warband (although technicaly not a death but a knock out.) I was in a siege defence, in a crowd of my own troops I jumped to try and score a hit on somone, I ended up being lifted up onto the heads of my own troops then passed along about 20 yards, held there for about 20 seconds, took a crossbow bolt to the back before finaly being dumped off the castle wall and knocked out.

Clearly my own troops conspiring agaisnt me, those bastards!
