The moon rocks thing is actually really true. Lunar dust will shred your throat and lungs because it's basically clouds of tiny razors. In Earth, wind blows dust around, causing particle to knock into each other and rub together, wearing the particles smooth. Since there's no wind on the moon though, the dust particles don't get smoothed out and stay all jagged points. That's one of the reasons why researchers working with it have to wear hermetically sealed suits. It'll cause massive unpleasantness no matter where it touches you and extended exposure can be lethal.

To be fair James wasnt really murdered by his creation cause he purposely sacrificed himself to save the remaining people unlike the rest of the idiots who call themselves scientist in this countdown.
The Lutece twins also didn't really die by their own creation in the traditional sense of the word either. they died due to the sabotage, not their own hubris.
Does anyone else think about the wizard from Morrowind who created a Scroll of Icarian Flight and died from slamming onto the ground because he jumped EXTREMELY high? I feel like he should've been on here.
Timothy Graham yeah, he should. Especially if you read his journal and see he made the scrolls just to show all the other wizards he was better than them. I always loved that huge amount of gold I got from selling his shit. Between that, not finishing one quest, and going about another quest in an order to keep a bunch of extra gold, I could have a sweet amount of gear or spells depending on what class I played.
I think Dr. Braun's fate in Fallout 3 is both more ironic and more deserving than your dad's. He created a VR simulation for the residents of Vault 112 to be trapped in forever as his playthings, and then at the end is trapped there himself, alone and bored until the power goes out countless millennia later.
+Fallout Junkie Well that is only if you chose the good karma option. the bad karma is doing what he asks, and he keeps his playthings. while your dad's is scripted and unavoidable.
thats the whole egsistence of them they have been permamently mashed into those suits have their vocal cords mauled by some "vocal operation device"(fancy meatgrinder if u ask me) aaand they reek of some pheromones took from somewhere i luckily forgot coz it was something sad or bad or gross ...
Big Daddies were not homicidal. They're only wish was to protect the little sisters, if someone harmed them the Big Daddies would kill them. If you don't go after a little sister they are sad passive husks.
At some points they would think that relatively harmless actions were threats, and kill an innocent person, not homicidal but would kill anything it deemed as a threat (a lot of things)
1. The Quarians created the Geth who then turned around and killed scores of them due to enslavement and attempted genocide. 2. The Leviathan created The Intelligence who then killed its creators. 3. Binary Helix created the insane Rachni who then slaughtered them. 4. TIM re-created Commander Shepard who then killed him. 5. The Krogan created the atom bomb and then promptly used it on themselves. 6. The Project Overlord scientists created the machine that linked David Archer to the Geth. That same machine that David used to command the Geth to kill all the scientists. 7. The Reapers created the Citadel which later turned out to be the key to killing them. Wow... Mass Effect has a lot of these, doesn't it?
Technically the Citadel wasn't made to destroy the Reapers. That's only one ending (and my least favourite since it makes peace with the geth impossible and also kills Joker's girlfriend.exe). It was designed by the Intelligence to break the cycle, offering to Destroy the Reapers, Control them or achieve organic/synthetic Synthesis for whoever reaches it. Oh, and you can also shoot it and let everyone die in the ultimate "fuck you" ending by Bioware.
David Coyle Yeah, all the endings sucked. Bioware may never live down the disappointment over ME's endings. The point though, isn't that they made it to destroy themselves but that they created it only for it to become instrumental in their downfall. Either they die, become eternal slaves, or have the very fabric of what they are become irrevocably changed to be more like something they view as barbaric and inadequate. Every reaper in the game viewed organic life as an infestation to be controlled, like an insect that you need a certain amount of to pollinate your crops but if you have more than the absolute minimum they ruin everything. The last thing they wanted was to be like that. So in the Reaper's eyes, no matter what they were being destroyed by a thing they had created to help insure their superiority over the galaxy.

Since Dr. James sabotaged his machine to irradiate the room with the Enclave hit squad (and himself) so you could get away, that is more "heroic sacrifice" than "ironic comeuppance".

One of the many great things about the Portal franchise is just how self-aware it is of the common tropes of the sci-fi dystopia without degenerating into self-conscious meta. So Cave Johnson isn't your standard-issue Evil Genius done in by his own creations. He's a shower curtain salesman who became a gazillionaire after WW2 simply by standing in the cold war federal money spigot's general direction. (Heh, kind of like Donald Trump's dad being a pedestrian builder of middle-income housing units becoming a gazillionaire by standing in the general direction of the FHA money spigot enabled by the GI Bill.) So Cave Johnson doesn't know the first thing about "science," nor does he care, nor needs to care; he's got his hired lab boys for that. He equates "science" with "the thrill of danger." He isn't an actively evil presence, just someone whose astounding lack of self-awareness and station in life prevented him from outgrowing his adolescent Buck Rogers fantasies. Sure, the history of Aperture reveals that Cave very quickly evolved into a functional sociopath -- "disappearing" astronauts, waving pathetic amounts cash at homeless guys for allowing them to do unspeakable things in those vitrified chambers, keeping a step ahead of all manner of authorities, blackmailing his employees into "voluntary" testing. But unlike all the other video game Evil Geniuses referenced here, Cave is neither an idealist-cum-megalomanic nor a Machiavellian with a consciously evil agenda. He's a normal guy of his time who simply never questioned the scientistic meta-narrative ... Which makes his death from moon rocks (doubtless helped by all that asbestos which corrodes the respiratory system in similar ways) tragic, and more in line with long-term smokers of his generation. He simply never stopped once to question the bullshit. And that makes Cave -- despite being an uproariously cartoonish caricature played brilliantly by JK Simmons -- a genuinely relevant and thought-provoking character in a way that your standard-issue Dr. Frankenstein wannabe just has no chance of ever being ....
MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR BIOSHOCK INFINITE (that is if the millions of trolls on the net haven't already spoiled it for you) Booker Dewitt was killed by Elizabeth, who was technically his "creation", right?
If you want to get super technical, Booker created Anna, not Elizabeth. They are and aren't the same person. Technically speaking, it was Comstock who created Elizabeth by kidnapping her, even though it was both of them who caused Anna's finger to be severed (or head to be decapitated), and Booker and Comstock are both the same and not the same person. So yes, and no. I have a feeling this one might have been on the list, but it would've been too difficult to explain and in some ways, untrue. Levine, you genius.
TheOctavariumTheory But Elizabeth does kill Comstock,if you play the Burial at Sea DLC. (A Comstock that went back to calling himself Booker but still the baptized version of Booker).
+thunderstudent Why cheer? Seemed to me like he was coding those guys to protect them. I know there's a metric ton of lore i'm missing behind why, so can you give me the TL:DR?
+The Solo Operative Uhh... well... Suchong did disgusting things to children to psychologically condition them into doing certain things... Maybe go look up the Suchong Puppy recording here on TH-cam... And know that "would you kindly" is not a polite request...
***** I've played the original, i know that much about it, because of how big of a plot point it is. I just never used to pay attention to the lore, so anything not forced into the main story was lost on me. I will say that i don't know what's nastier though, him being stabbed in that clip, or the trailer, with the hand grind and the chest grind.
Looking back on old videos, the productions quality has really gone up over the years without seemingly much changing. Great improvement in delivery and pacing
Stone Fight now that you mention it, 50/50. Half of the people got killed by inhabitants. The other half got telleported to feeding grounds, alien ships, asteroids, voids, or just space in general. There was even a tear in the training grounds of the tutorial that some people got sucked into.
also the actual blowing up of the machine caused most of the facilities technology to blow up or malfunction, killing people, and just in general, it killed about 12 scientist when it blew up
Stone Fight but still. It technically caused: All the people who died in the black mesa incident And all the people who have been killed by combine, since thats what allowed them to come to earth.
As far as the Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite villains go, having names that are only a few letters away from being "Dr. Schlong" and "Father Cumsock" just makes it more painful for them.
***** Thank you for taking your valuable time for providing this feedback. I hope now you can move on to better things in your life, other than providing worthless feedback on lame jokes on internet. :)
I'm surprised that Caridin in Dragon Age: Origins wasn't mentioned on this. (He created a major tool that allowed easy ways of transferring living souls into Golems. The transferring process, however, is extremely painful, as in order for it to be done, the subject is put inside a giant suit of armor, and drowned in molten lyrium. Eventually, the greed of the king who ruled over him resulted in him being put into the body of a golem as punishment.)
I have a theory that each time you go through bioshock infinite, it's set in a different world, because sometimes Booker says heads, and sometimes he says tails
3:39 I'm surprised that they didn't retcon the fact that all the Wesker Children died other than Albert and Alex. Would make for interesting future RE Games if Spencer lied to Albert here and had the others scatter to multiple countries around the globe. Not to mention Alex is still out there.
Lord Vader Don't give me that face. Atleast you redeemed yourself in the end by killing the Emperor. Woah wait. Emperor was the creator of Darth Vader, to which in turn Darth Vader created Luke Skywalker. 3 way killing.
Funkyfish 001 It works both ways. The Emperor fried Vaders breathing shit or whatever. Vader nearly dead, he passes out from the lack of oxygen. Luke grabs his body goes down to the planet full of those giant hamsters. Roasts Vader then all the sudden you see Vaders ghost appear. With Obi Won and Yoda. Because in that moment Vader died while being cooked. I was hoping he would yell out NOT AGAIN!!! as he was being burned.
Honestly, Harlan Wade at least seemed to be genuinely remorseful of his actions towards the end. "It is the way of man to make monsters, and it is the nature of monsters to destroy their makers."
+YaezaTheCasualGamer it is the way of man to make monsters yet the real monster was a man who tormented a poor lil girl to the point that she became like him ...... a monster
James killed himself on purpose. Rosalind and Robert dont die... Suchong wasnt the only one behind the big daddy, fink was too. Great video regardless.
The Lutece twins definitely met the same fate as Professor W. D. Gaster, the head scientist of the Undergrouns from Undertale, yet not actually physically encountered to our knowledge, is rumored to have. As in split across everything.
Definitely the funniest item on the list, because of its irony is Dr Yi Suchong and the Big Daddies he created to protect the Little Sisters. The idiot forgot to include any programming which might've stopped them from attacking their master and creator. What did he think was going to happen, with such an overprotective bodyguard?
Long (and frankly hilarious) story short, Suchong wasn't the one who figured out how to program Big Daddies as bodyguard the Little Sisters. He gained access to a tear and got into a thieving war turned uneasy brain trust with . . . whoever programmed Songbird, but he only ever got the basics from them.
And The Atom Smashes By itself that just unexpected. Irony would be for a politician to tell the truth in order to do the right thing, then get voted out of office.
Okay, non x-box player here, not even a console at all. But I somehow stumbled across these videos and really like the trio and find the "7, 8, 9 whatevers" lists enjoyable, even though I think the format is completely overdone (but kudos not sticking to a "we always choose 10" formula). But the "raiaiain on your wedding day" delivery gave me a favorite. Whatever that's worth.
Doom 2016: Olivia pierce. She created a portal to hell therefore flooding the UAC with demons and then she went to hell (argent tower mission) and at the end she died to (or transformed into) the spider mastermind.
In battlefield there was some boss who killed himself by falling down the stairs. I don't remember. But assuming he built the stairs then we can say he built his own death
+SuperEagle720 but, Shaun freed you, in a way, setting into motion the events that change you from a normal veteran/lawyer to a wasteland warrior who fights for the little guy... or kills and devours anything in his path because players are psychopaths. He could have had the institute take you and keep you out of the manipulation of the wasteland... of course, I suppose metaphorically speaking, ol' Kellogg and the original institute created you both, and both die.
+noobmaster117 Shaun could have made the institute take you in. But not stopping something is not the equivalent of creating it. The main character turns himself or herself into a monster by their actions in the wasteland. And while all players are psychos i never got that vibe from either of the main characters in any dialog option, you could be an asshole but never really a monster.
SuperEagle720 then you clearly have not been taking in the adventures of Capain Richard Ravager III. He murdered all of Vault 81 over a kickball, starting with poor Ashes, is a complete racist against synths, and ate his own son.
+noobmaster117 Those are the actions of the player in control of the character, and as we both have agreed on all players are psychos. But as soon as you enter dialogue with someone you are just a parent looking for their son. So while you can role play as Erik Ear-eater who murders anyone in his way and then feasts exclusively on their earlobes it never reflects onto your character.
how about the engineer from teamfortress 2 he can get shoot by his own sentry if he is in the way of his sentry fire while upgrading or reparing it from the front
Ah, Dead Rising 3.. I hope they make a fourth. 3 got a lot of hate and it wasn't amazing, but definitely gave me hope for a fourth one if they make one. :)
i liked the third one better it didn't have the fact that you have to look for zombrex which is really hard to find and the third has a lot of let me say creativity and you have 5 days to get every thing done and the days are really long so you can do a lot of screwing around and also BRING IT :D
i think fontaine deserves to be on this list. he genetically modifies you to follow instructions and help him take over Rapture, but instead you kill him.
Ironic (and confusing) Death: Technical Suicide 1) Create clones of thy self 2) Copy and paste your conscience into everyone of them 3) then have the clones rebel (I dunno, revoke their xbox live?) 4) Clones kill you in the process 5) transfer your own conscience and memories to another body (surprise backup plan!) 6) Return to a post apocalyptic world overrun by yourself (which actually doesn't sound too bad) 7) Massacre all your clones 8) Sit down in front of a statue in your likeness and ponder this whether this is suicide or not (as a bonus, go into the future and kill your future self then ponder if this is suicide)
BATMAN ARHKAM ASYLUM/CITY SPOILERS: I think that Joker from Batman Arkham Asylum/City should have been an honorary mention, because of the Titan formula that he used. He didn't directly make it, but he did fund and eventually complete the production of it, while it did kill him in the end.
My sister couldn't find a blouse she liked while shopping but found it while watching this....is that irony? Would she be able to Google Image search the blouse so that she can buy it? Does this comment have a point? Find out in the slightly interesting adventures of SOME GUY ON THE INTERNET!!
James Schmidt Its a coincidence that she found the blouse as she happens to be shopping for one. Its an irony that she didn't find the blouse whilst browsing and window shopping but did while watching a gaming channel.
What about Mordin Solus in Mass Effect 3 (I checked to make sure it was before the video)? He created the genophage, deployed to Tuchanka to release it from The Shroud tower, and then went back to cure it (to catastrophic effect if you play like the overwhelming majority of players). It's another example of creating our monsters and then the monsters killing us.
The thing I find more alarming is that Miu Iruma's (DanganRonpaV3 character) colour scheme is similar to Dylan's from Dead Rising 3 and her personality is also very...well perverted. Both franchises also have the same abbreviation: DR. Such a nice coincidence XD.
the confusing part is since they use people for big daddies then...are the big sisters little sisters but all grown up (and more badass)? like seriously i might be wrong but i may be correct too! if big daddies are just guys that are hypnotized or something and big sisters are grown up (and badass) little sisters.QUITE A BIT OF A PICKLE EH? o.O
No you're actually right. The Big Sisters from Bioshock 2 are the grown up Little Sisters from Bioshock 1. I think they mentioned that in the game somewhere

My first thought when reading the title of this video in the list.
This may sound kind of weird, but I find the way the big daddies protect the little sisters, oddly adorable.

***** I've played the original, i know that much about it, because of how big of a plot point it is. I just never used to pay attention to the lore, so anything not forced into the main story was lost on me. I will say that i don't know what's nastier though, him being stabbed in that clip, or the trailer, with the hand grind and the chest grind.

Looking back on old videos, the productions quality has really gone up over the years without seemingly much changing. Great improvement in delivery and pacing
0:28 God, I love you Jane for that Alanis Morissette nod to her song "Ironic" lmao
I just love the Luteces.
All the scientists of black mesa. And they were so excited for trans-dimensional travel.
Liam Myers Their invention didn't kill them, the beings from the other dimension killed them
Stone Fight now that you mention it, 50/50. Half of the people got killed by inhabitants. The other half got telleported to feeding grounds, alien ships, asteroids, voids, or just space in general. There was even a tear in the training grounds of the tutorial that some people got sucked into.
also the actual blowing up of the machine caused most of the facilities technology to blow up or malfunction, killing people, and just in general, it killed about 12 scientist when it blew up
Liam Myers Yeah only 12 of thousands of people
Stone Fight but still. It technically caused:
All the people who died in the black mesa incident
And all the people who have been killed by combine, since thats what allowed them to come to earth.
Fallout 2. That kid who invented Jet was killed by a Jet addict.
Who could have foreseen that.
As far as the Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite villains go, having names that are only a few letters away from being "Dr. Schlong" and "Father Cumsock" just makes it more painful for them.
I just imagined Dr. Suchongs last thoughts as "I just realized my name is dangerously close to Schlong.Damn"
I guess Dylan Fuentes...*puts on shades*...died hard.

What's up with that
“Elizabeth, why is your mother a ghost?”
I'm surprised that Caridin in Dragon Age: Origins wasn't mentioned on this.
(He created a major tool that allowed easy ways of transferring living souls into Golems. The transferring process, however, is extremely painful, as in order for it to be done, the subject is put inside a giant suit of armor, and drowned in molten lyrium. Eventually, the greed of the king who ruled over him resulted in him being put into the body of a golem as punishment.)
How about Joker in Arkham city? He basically poisoned himself and destroyed the antidote, because he couldn't stop messing with batman.
"Medical skills, BB-gun repairing skills, party-throwing skills" So you're saying that James has a particular set of skills?
I have a theory that each time you go through bioshock infinite, it's set in a different world, because sometimes Booker says heads, and sometimes he says tails
Didn't you get to pick what were you gonna say? I think you did, although I could be wrong.
KamikazeeGecko you are wrong
You got to pick
You never get to pick between heads or tails in the game. Booker's choice is random.
Oh yea! Is there a consequence to that choice?
3:39 I'm surprised that they didn't retcon the fact that all the Wesker Children died other than Albert and Alex. Would make for interesting future RE Games if Spencer lied to Albert here and had the others scatter to multiple countries around the globe. Not to mention Alex is still out there.
Let's not forget that one guy who invented a sky high jumping spell in Skyrim who forgot to factor in the landing part of it.
in Morrowind you mean not Skyrim
Prince Teclis he was in the Dragonborn DLC as well.
Sora Mizuki the original version and creator of that spell was from Morrowind though
Prince Teclis I realize this. I first encountered him in the game Skyrim, so that's how I regarded it.
"Hubristic boffin" is the greatest phrase I've heard this week
Luke Skywalker killing Darth Vader.
>:(
Lord Vader Don't give me that face. Atleast you redeemed yourself in the end by killing the Emperor.
Woah wait. Emperor was the creator of Darth Vader, to which in turn Darth Vader created Luke Skywalker. 3 way killing.
the emperor killed darth vader, not luke
Funkyfish 001 It works both ways. The Emperor fried Vaders breathing shit or whatever. Vader nearly dead, he passes out from the lack of oxygen. Luke grabs his body goes down to the planet full of those giant hamsters. Roasts Vader then all the sudden you see Vaders ghost appear. With Obi Won and Yoda. Because in that moment Vader died while being cooked.
I was hoping he would yell out NOT AGAIN!!! as he was being burned.
Nolan Hickey xD
You've gone a week without making a monster? Why does that strike me as a lie?
0:37 was more of a sacrifice than ironically killed by his own creation
Honestly, Harlan Wade at least seemed to be genuinely remorseful of his actions towards the end. "It is the way of man to make monsters, and it is the nature of monsters to destroy their makers."
Umm, Bossfightswe?
+YaezaTheCasualGamer it is the way of man to make monsters yet the real monster was a man who tormented a poor lil girl to the point that she became like him ...... a monster
I heard the entire team behind viva pinata where killed by an army of paper mache animals. Unfortunate but more common then you'd think.
James killed himself on purpose.
Rosalind and Robert dont die...
Suchong wasnt the only one behind the big daddy, fink was too.
Great video regardless.
Fink wasn't really behind the creation of the big daddy but his work did help its development.
Without fink there would be no big daddy.
TheCraftPack
There would be a big daddy. There just might not have been a bond.
Without bond little sister cannot live, without little sister no big daddy, no big daddy no little sister.
That means the big daddy needs the ADAM of the Little Sisters to keep living but that had nothing to do with the act of creating the big daddies.
Suchong's death is from Burial At Sea 2, which came out in March 2014
Well, it was first mentioned via audio log in the original Bioshock.
MrFirewolf18 Truuuuuuuuuuuuuue
You can also find Suchong's dead body in Bioshock 2 in the same place with the drill still in his body.
.-. Don't you mean Bioshock...? Bioshock 2 never had suchong in it...
lola14672 DLC.
Suchong's fate is quite ironic, he made a conditioning...and then forgot about the conditioning...
The Lutece twins definitely met the same fate as Professor W. D. Gaster, the head scientist of the Undergrouns from Undertale, yet not actually physically encountered to our knowledge, is rumored to have. As in split across everything.
Why is watching Suchong die so entertaining?
+Nicholas Grefe because he was a dick to children.
+Nicholas Grefe Because it's A) highly ironic, and B) happens to the biggest dick in Dicktropolis.
+Mike Reniew (reallitup2) yeah dood. I could never hurt little sisters.
+Terastas lmao very true.
+Nicholas Grefe my theory is its always entertaining to see a man get killed with a drill
The Aperture Science Crew... GLaDos. Yehhh (-.-;)
Yeah.

Sion Harris Not all of them. (Ratman)
They were not very smart.
@@glados5065, 😂😂😂😂😂
2:47 Is it just me that thinks that he sounds and possibly looks like Palpatine/Darth Sidious from Star Wars?
Imbecile
He IS Palpatine
Definitely the funniest item on the list, because of its irony is Dr Yi Suchong and the Big Daddies he created to protect the Little Sisters. The idiot forgot to include any programming which might've stopped them from attacking their master and creator.
What did he think was going to happen, with such an overprotective bodyguard?
Long (and frankly hilarious) story short, Suchong wasn't the one who figured out how to program Big Daddies as bodyguard the Little Sisters. He gained access to a tear and got into a thieving war turned uneasy brain trust with . . . whoever programmed Songbird, but he only ever got the basics from them.
Dr Suchong's death reminds me of when you accidentally hit a villager in front of an iron golem in Minecraft-
Rain on your wedding day, and 10,000 spoons when you need a knife, are not examples of irony. Those are just unfortunate events or coincidences.
I looked it up: it's a song quote
tronayne Jane knows. That's why she said these things were "more ironic."
Jordan Sinn the use of words for something other than their literal intention... now that, is, Irony - Bender, Futurama -
+TR, irony is more like politicians telling the truth.
And The Atom Smashes By itself that just unexpected. Irony would be for a politician to tell the truth in order to do the right thing, then get voted out of office.
Okay, non x-box player here, not even a console at all. But I somehow stumbled across these videos and really like the trio and find the "7, 8, 9 whatevers" lists enjoyable, even though I think the format is completely overdone (but kudos not sticking to a "we always choose 10" formula). But the "raiaiain on your wedding day" delivery gave me a favorite. Whatever that's worth.
Addition to this list: Professor Ort-Meyer from Hitman: Codename 47
Doom 2016: Olivia pierce. She created a portal to hell therefore flooding the UAC with demons and then she went to hell (argent tower mission) and at the end she died to (or transformed into) the spider mastermind.

Matthew Foot I did. I have played ME1, going on 12 hours in 2.
But the Geth didn't totally exterminate them, came Damn close admittedly.
In battlefield there was some boss who killed himself by falling down the stairs. I don't remember. But assuming he built the stairs then we can say he built his own death
Are you talking about borderlands 2 ?

You killing your son in Fallout 4
That would be the creatior killing the creation.
+SuperEagle720 but, Shaun freed you, in a way, setting into motion the events that change you from a normal veteran/lawyer to a wasteland warrior who fights for the little guy... or kills and devours anything in his path because players are psychopaths.
He could have had the institute take you and keep you out of the manipulation of the wasteland... of course, I suppose metaphorically speaking, ol' Kellogg and the original institute created you both, and both die.
+noobmaster117 Shaun could have made the institute take you in. But not stopping something is not the equivalent of creating it. The main character turns himself or herself into a monster by their actions in the wasteland. And while all players are psychos i never got that vibe from either of the main characters in any dialog option, you could be an asshole but never really a monster.
SuperEagle720 then you clearly have not been taking in the adventures of Capain Richard Ravager III. He murdered all of Vault 81 over a kickball, starting with poor Ashes, is a complete racist against synths, and ate his own son.
+noobmaster117 Those are the actions of the player in control of the character, and as we both have agreed on all players are psychos. But as soon as you enter dialogue with someone you are just a parent looking for their son. So while you can role play as Erik Ear-eater who murders anyone in his way and then feasts exclusively on their earlobes it never reflects onto your character.
3:12, SOMEONE REMEMBERS THE RESIDENT EVIL: OUTBREAK GAMES!
4:29 I really, *really* hate to say this but...isn`t that Kaneki`s mask from Tokyo Ghoul? o.o

Yea
+Pasta Master when you say it that way, you make it sound like an m-rated game.

Well that's exactly what happened lol
Pasta Master Oddly enough, that didn’t actually kill Grodus. Somehow. Because Nintendo logic.
how about the engineer from teamfortress 2 he can get shoot by his own sentry if he is in the way of his sentry fire while upgrading or reparing it from the front
Rip in pepperoni
Not really storyline
Ah, Dead Rising 3.. I hope they make a fourth. 3 got a lot of hate and it wasn't amazing, but definitely gave me hope for a fourth one if they make one. :)
Yea the setting was bad. I liked the casinos malls and flashing lights much more.
Lil Wang Yeah, I would have set it on a cruise ship - casinos, malls, restaurants and all the water related fun and games you can shake a stick at..
i liked the third one better it didn't have the fact that you have to look for zombrex which is really hard to find and the third has a lot of let me say creativity and you have 5 days to get every thing done and the days are really long so you can do a lot of screwing around and also BRING IT :D
Yea it'd be cool if they made it for ps4 too... Not just an xbox exclusive
michael wagner yeah i had so much fun playing it, also playing it with a friend is fun as well
6:53 I would love to see a Timeline where Rosalind caught wind of their plans and she fled to another Reality.
i think fontaine deserves to be on this list. he genetically modifies you to follow instructions and help him take over Rapture, but instead you kill him.

Ironic (and confusing) Death: Technical Suicide
1) Create clones of thy self
2) Copy and paste your conscience into everyone of them
3) then have the clones rebel (I dunno, revoke their xbox live?)
4) Clones kill you in the process
5) transfer your own conscience and memories to another body (surprise backup plan!)
6) Return to a post apocalyptic world overrun by yourself (which actually doesn't sound too bad)
7) Massacre all your clones
8) Sit down in front of a statue in your likeness and ponder this whether this is suicide or not (as a bonus, go into the future and kill your future self then ponder if this is suicide)
I had to look up what hubristic boffin meant. I'm not ashamed to say that. Thank you outside zbox for expanding my vocabulary.
BATMAN ARHKAM ASYLUM/CITY SPOILERS:
I think that Joker from Batman Arkham Asylum/City should have been an honorary mention, because of the Titan formula that he used. He didn't directly make it, but he did fund and eventually complete the production of it, while it did kill him in the end.
I played Bioshock Infinite three times and never knew that the twins died. I need to watch the side stuff more.

Boishock: it would be ironic if a little sister killed him
No, he didn't create the Little Sisters. Brigid Tenembaum did, she discovered ADAM and the seaslugs.
My sister couldn't find a blouse she liked while shopping but found it while watching this....is that irony? Would she be able to Google Image search the blouse so that she can buy it? Does this comment have a point? Find out in the slightly interesting adventures of SOME GUY ON THE INTERNET!!
Here you have it, youtube in a nutshell
Tdog redman this guy definitely had an idea, lost the idea, then filled in his blank idea with a bunch of nonsense, brilliant!!
Nope, Mate. That's a coincidence.
James Schmidt Its a coincidence that she found the blouse as she happens to be shopping for one. Its an irony that she didn't find the blouse whilst browsing and window shopping but did while watching a gaming channel.
-shrug- To me it seems more one than the other.
I don't remember seeing that Bioshock scene of the Big Daddy killing the scientist and I played the game not long ago. Is that from a dlc?
+MrBX5 I believe it's from the Burial at Sea - Episode 2 DLC for Bioshock Infinite
bioshock 2 i think
It is bioshock infinite burial at sea episode 2 dlc at the very end.
The ironic puns are A+++

Dishonored 2 Kirin Jindosh that can be killed to his own creation the clockwork soldier by shooting off it's head.
What about Otto Wolfgang Ort-Meyer, the creator of Agent 47 and other agents with different chromosomes and models?
Yeah, they could have showed that instead of Bioshock again and again.
Portal 2's Cave Johnson is the best character in gaming, I wish they did more Portal games, I want to learn more story!
Best character in gaming who exists solely in pre-recorded messages, that's a big 10-4 good buddy ;)
Terrific host and hostess. I appreciate the subtle humor and concise information. /Salute.
where did the suschong footage come from? I remember bioshock and that was just an audio log
Since when was Darth Sidious in Resident Evil?
Never played Bioshock, big daddy and little sisters sounds like something ironically inappropriate to me.
The Leviathan of Mass Effect 3, anyone?
What about Mordin Solus in Mass Effect 3 (I checked to make sure it was before the video)?
He created the genophage, deployed to Tuchanka to release it from The Shroud tower, and then went back to cure it (to catastrophic effect if you play like the overwhelming majority of players).
It's another example of creating our monsters and then the monsters killing us.
2:24 he sounds like darth sidius from star wars
What about Alex Mercer in Prototype 2, being absorbed by Heller at the end of the game
Dang it, A spoiler, Eh nvm I watch spoilers for a living.
so nobody not going to mention that the boss they talked about in dead rising 3 has a mask that kinda looks like kaneki
well it's a gimp mask as in a thing used in real life
I know that I just wanted to bring anime into this
"this rpg reminds me of of sao, this sniper reminds me of gungale, this phone reminds me of eden of the east"
The thing I find more alarming is that Miu Iruma's (DanganRonpaV3 character) colour scheme is similar to Dylan's from Dead Rising 3 and her personality is also very...well perverted. Both franchises also have the same abbreviation: DR. Such a nice coincidence XD.
never thought of that when I was watching tokyo ghoul and it's all ruined
the confusing part is since they use people for big daddies then...are the big sisters little sisters but all grown up (and more badass)? like seriously i might be wrong but i may be correct too! if big daddies are just guys that are hypnotized or something
and big sisters are grown up (and badass) little sisters.QUITE A BIT OF A PICKLE EH? o.O
No you're actually right. The Big Sisters from Bioshock 2 are the grown up Little Sisters from Bioshock 1. I think they mentioned that in the game somewhere
Don't you see the little sisters grown up as big sisters in the good ending of the first game?
ln t those are the sisters that you were "able" to save there are still plenty left in rapture. even their creator stayed with them
anybody else notice Gordon Freeman's cameo in the video at 05:44
Master Kongha from BOTW wasn’t really a genius but at the end of his fight he spawned a huge metal ball that brought him to his death
Roberts Dane I don’t want to make a huge argument with Kongha he was killed by it because Link didn’t get the final hit on him
