Ahh yes, the good ol' "burrowing" tank round. I also liked the ones where you change screen focus to look at them just as they fire, and the less-resource-intensive direct shot realizes it's being looked at and suddenly jolts itself back into an arc, which is clearly visible by the fact that it trails smoke through the whole affair.


And while rangers are all well and fine, I always found the real use of the infantry commander was to lay down as many howitzers as possible and blow up the world... Not necessarily the best use of resources, but I had fun.

Eaten by the alien in Alien: Isolation because of the unskippable and painfully long ending animation to the hacking minigame.

"Hmm, there's this horrible, inhuman screeching coming from the hallway to my left.  And it sounds like a monster weighing a quarter of a ton may be rushing my way, judging by the thunderous footsteps.  I certainly shouldn't hurry up and put down this hacking tool so I can grab my flame-"

That death was actually pretty much unavoidable.  The alien was in the vents and being quiet when I moved up to the door, and I didn't know it was nearby until I heard it exit the vent in the hallway right next to me while inputting the last code.  I was hoping the hacking tool animation would end before it got too close, but no luck.

Actually, I guess if I were paranoid and trying to go for the achievement for not dying I should have tossed a noisemaker in an adjacent room before hacking.  But that's such a hassle.

A body I wanted to loot was in a precarious position, on a steep slope next to some lava. I inched as close as I could to it but couldn't loot it. I took one more step, slid off into the lava and died in seconds.

Try getting Pelinal's armor out of that one, Knights!

Absolute fucker of a Yiga ninja threw my horse off a cliff. It wasn't until after I went back to the stable that I realized that your horse can in fact permanently die.

Skyrim would’ve been a decent shout too.

Was getting together a mediocre-but-lasting band of mercenaries; when local contracts dried up we took a two-skull escort deal with a merchant caravan. Get attacked by 6 brigands -- not so bad, we think, except that none of my guys can hit their two swordsmen. My one axeman (armed with but a peasant hatchet) destroys the first shield only after two of my better fighters are cut down. Things fall apart quickly enough after that.

Tried to shoot a Fenrir Wolf at point-blank.

The shot was deflected in the gun struggle, and the agent wound up shooting her colleague instead.

Thankfully, the wolf did die after backing up and then shooting.

I picked Warcraft 3 back up where I'd left it, near the end of the Undead campaign. Having forgotten how to play, the first Orc attack caused such damage that I preferred to restart rather than rebuild.

I was hoping maybe I'd actually beat Archimonde's Ascent this time, but I don't have high hopes after that.

Warcraft 3.
