    In Death and Taxes, you’re a reaper who decided who lives and who dies. One of the profiles you might come across is your own. Curiosity got ahold of me, so of course I marked my profile for death.

    My favorite own stupidity deaths are in outer wilds. You have the classic "forgot to put on your spacesuit before getting out of your ship death", and you can set your ship to autopilot, but if you are trying to get to a planet on the otherside of the solar system, your ship will just steer you into the sun.

      Can’t even necessarily call those “game overs” as your story doesn’t necessarily “end”. Funnily enough tho, my absolute favorite game over does come from outer wilds. In the high energy lab, when you mess around with time and get the broken spacetime ending. The way my heart sank to my ass when that happened….

    I can't believe they had disco elysium on the list and didn't even mention how one of the first things you can interract with can kill you. If you built your character with only one Psyche point, and turn on the light as soon as you wake up, it gives you a heart attack and an immediate game over. Guess who just so happened to do that on their first play through...

    Super Paper Mario has a few good ones, most of them from repeatedly saying "No" to a "But Thou Must!"-type scenario, where the only way to advance the plot is say "yes". The first one is right at the start of the game, where you can refuse to go on the quest to save the world and get a game over. The second is where, after going to space, you refuse to put on your helmet and suffocate and die, while your companion fairy judges you for your life choices. Or, life ending choices, I suppose.

    The cult-classic point and click adventure game "Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist", like most of Sierra's games of the time, was loaded with hilarious ways to die. Few, however, were so richly deserved like the one you get if you decide to eat horse poop.
    Yes, at one point in the game, you have to pick up some "horse apples" from the road as an inventory item to solve a puzzle. But, one of the things you can do in this game is attempt to eat items that are in your inventory. So, naturally, it's possible to pop the "plop" in your mouth... but if you do, that dung won't be the only thing that's "dropping", if you catch my drift.
    As you might expect, "ingesting horsey products that was never meant to be ingested" is not good for one's health, and in fact ends up being quite fatal (especially since, you know, it's the Wild West and modern medicine isn't a thing yet). The death message that you get for doing this dirty deed says it all: "Caution: the Surgeon General has determined that you've gotten EXACTLY what you deserved."

Nancy can be blown up, electrocuted, drowned, asphyxiated, buried alive and literally killed (strangled, shot, stabbed) by the villain she's usually running from in the final act. However, it's most often her own self-doing because she (the player) insists on doing something stupid like using a lighter in a dimly lit room filled with leaking gas vapor, for example.

    Hitma and the flipping proximity explosive... you know the one you forgot you put down and then go back to later... doh!!!
    Oh and since watching this, I've woken up with the 'Stupid Deaths' song from Horrible Histories running through my head.

      Any particular favorite games in the series? "Scarlet Hand" was always my favorite, but I liked a lot about "Ghost Dogs" as well.

      ​@@AileilI freaking loved "Scarlett Hand"! Two favs though are "Deception Island," and "Haunted Carousel," because one is set in my home state, and the other references a carousel designer with ties to my city.

    The Soul Caliber entry starts off by clearly demonstrating, via the lake jumping, that if one character dies and the other dies moments later, that's good enough for a player 2 win. So without the context/title of this video, I absolutely wouldn't have guessed that the Colossus falling on you would matter.

    For real though, ND and the Shadow at Water's Edge is a legit horror game!

      You are absolutely correct. Yeesh, but that one is scary and Yumi's apartment is clearly cursed.

    What about Planescape Torment where you can die right at the beginning by constantly choosing to plummet to the ground

      That's actually Tides of Numenera.
      In Planescape Torment, you _can_ get into a staring contest with a medusa with predictable results.

      I both love and am scared of that forest around Moon Lake. I was so grateful that Red Knott was usually around at night to make it feel less lonely.

    Honestly, the Nancy Drew series is FILLED with stupid game overs you should’ve seen coming. I’ve never played Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, but I’m surprised you didn’t put in the game over where Nancy falls through the rotten floorboards in the cabin. The biggest question I have is if the floorboards were rotten, how did Sally put the note up warning that the floorboards were rotten? And Nancy doesn’t even get to read the whole note before the rotten floorboards break under her.

      Making a jellyfish and ice cream sandwich in "Deception Island" is one of those things that is just so tempting to see what will happen, but really should have been a no-brainer.

    Possibly the most "I should have seen that coming" game over is in the Neverhood, where after draining a lake the hole you pulled the plug from has several big signs near it warning "Danger!" and telling you explicitly not to jump in the drain. However, if you insist on doing it anyway, the game doesn't actually SHOW you dying, and there's some precedent in the game for people doing similar things and surviving, but at the very least you have removed yourself from the game area, and you get a "The End" screen.
