Hi all, recently Deluxe and I have tought of making a video of this, lot of games have players that make videos like this, and I want to make one like this, I'm the one who's recording, I've thought of some funny ways to die, but I can't make 101 ways to die all by myself D:

While some deaths can be done randomly by a noob failing (like me), or by myself (like me), some others gotta be well prepared, so i need players to do some "acting". I alreday talked with some players in-game and they were really looking foward to it, well, so do I! :)

I'm sure the ones who work with me for this will have fun (if everything runs correctly and in order), i plan to use FRAPS for recording program, it's easy to use, and delivers great quality and speed in recording, but, if someone can suggest another program go ahead. Oh by the way if someone has an idea of "dying" post it too (post the title, the wad were can be done and explain it!).

I don't plan to make a fail Movie Maker video, I'm aiming for something more professional, if someone knows how to make nice effects and else, would be appreciated! It will feature my music too! who cares. I'll talk later to do more preparations, but first, let's finish that list.

So, any thoughts?

id be happy to help, and even give suggestions if you havent come up with 101 yet. the first one that really comes to mind is

"Trying to rocketjump"
It can be done in pretty much any wad with a RL, basically shooting the RL at your feet and jumping to try and reach a higher spot. Doom doesnt allow for vertiacal RJs (as far as i know, but it does have horizontal ones) and this would probably gib you instantly in most cases.

EDIT: is this limited to just doom, or is it going to include other doom engine games like strife?

I was thinking to add Megagame but nah... Doom is Doom :P

Should we suggest some here or...?

101 exotic ways of dying is gonna be tough indeed, but I already came up with some

another question, is this limited to real possible things? or are you open to doing joke scripted events or ones that would require video editing (like in those 100 ways to die in halo videos)

Jumpmaze, volcano hallway. Go.

Well, i don't think this is the main post (but i can edit it of course), the real one (just in case this will not be) will have the members in it, and the death list, each death and the one who suggested it.

Oh by the way, think on some creative ways, it's okay with the normal deaths, like RJ fail, telefragged and else, but also don't forget strange ones, like this one i made:

"Infiltrating a party" (CTF/Team DM)

One player acts as a bouncer, and stands with a SSG in a door, there will be a row of players entering in the room (party), the bouncer and the ones who will be let in the party will be from the same team, the infiltrator will be on the another team, when that player comes by the side of the bouncer, bouncer looks at him and kills him with a SSG.

Or something like that.

Whatever that can be done! :D

-DeathMatch: kill someone by shooting him with the Rocket Launcher close enough to die (preferably while you have 100hp/0armor)
-Jumpmaze into a lava pit
-D2MAP08 fail to beat the exit room (aka die in that inescapable pit)
-Kill yourself with the BFG10K
-RocketJump suiciding (with freelook)
-WallRocketJump suiciding (force nofreelook, no crosshair)
-Get squished by a crusher
-Have the vile targetting a coop partner who hides behind a wall before the attack is completed so that you get killed
-Hide behind a corner with low hp while having someone with invulnerability standign by you, shooting a cyberdemon with a plasmagun (can be done esily in plutonia map32)
-Get backstabbed by the murderer
-Get killed by some bertholite
-Get killed by shotgun traps
-Get killed by a bomb you placed (heretic bombs or doom's equivalent if any)
-Die due to fall damage (possibly while using a jump pad)
-Die due timeout (jumpmaze race mod or whatever that is called)
-Die due to a monster spawning on you (spawned by Icon of Sin)

Good luck with the video :)

Okay well here we go:

- Lost Soul charges into a barrel that explodes and kills you

- running at a group of monsters on MAP30 firing your BFG when suddenly you get telefragged

- failing a Vile jump and falling right into a -20 damaging floor

- radiation suit leaking on a -20 damaging floor when you have 20 or less health

- throwing yourself on the Soulsphere on MAP20 only to die on the lava when right next to it

- dying to the Cyberdemon on E2M8 and then watching him get killed by a Lost Soul (does the level end if you're dead? pretty sure it does but I don't remember)

- shot by a Zombieman when you're about to press the exit button

Co-op. Spamming rockets in a hallway. Suddenly your teammate appears in front of you.

That's the death we're talking about. The legend.

Reason why coop/surv/invasion sucks - you can't use rockets. That's patcheable, I think.

- Failing a rocket jump (just record me accidentally flying into a pit of lava while trying some big jump in rocket jump extreme)
- Making a rocket jump (me putting one too many rockets into a jump, and flying off into the distance while dead)
- Forgetting how to rocket jump (me blowing myself up and moving a whopping 15 feet)
- Forgetting what a rocket is (me firing an ssg at the floor and jumping into a pit of lava like a dumbass)
- Forgetting what a rocket isn't (using a rocket launcher at point blank range)

edit for some more:

- Cyberdemon shooting you (no shit)
- Cyberdemon shooting cyberdemon at you
- Rocket shooting cyberdemon at you
- Forgetting how to handle weapons (rocket launcher explodes in hands for no reason)
- Forgetting how to handle ammo (pick up rockets, explode)
- Forgetting how to handle health (pick up medikit, explode)
- Trying to be Michael Jackson (slowly moonwalk backwards into a pit of lava)
- shotguns
- Be outside in DBZone (railgunner from across the map!)
- Be inside in DBZone (ssger around the corner!)
- Be playing DBZone (a marine killing you while yelling "YOU HAVE HORRIBLE TASTES")
- Playing Oneshot (sudden death mode, have ANYTHING shoot you)
- Not playing Oneshot (a marine labelled "Ijon" unloading 50 rockets into you while yelling "APPRECIATE MY MODS")
- Fixing Oneshot (stare at computer, explode)

typing kill in console
mdk on a voodoo doll
getting telefragged while you have godmode on
accidentally pressing an exit with sv_noexit 1
suiciding as a terminator (worth 10 suicides)
going rambo in survival
idling
lagging/desyncing
friendly fire on
loading a bad saved game
thinking you are good at doom

Haha, most of the ideas are pretty nice, im listing them later!

Possible ones:
-you shot a rocket, straferun happily accompanying rocket in its travel, suddenly a sector lifts/door closed, rocket is not so friendly any more
-death by a troll chaingunner shooting you from a tiiiiiny window just above the ground
-when you're low on hp, you run towards a huge powerup, you got shot, your corpse gracefully slides on it and this round face of mega/soulsphere opens and closes its mouth on your deathscreen mockingly
-when your skill is so big you try to dodge in an epic way and run exactly at someone's rocket in dm
-when you're afk-ing in a safe place during survival, suddenly a zombieman opens door and slooooowly bares you of your megaarmor with his peashooter
-when you're playing on a map with bad player starts, flags are set badly and you have to shoot your ally while being stuck in a same place as them
-when you play oldschool, engage in an epic bfg/plasma/rl showdown and suddenly you walk into a shotgun just about when you were shooting your lethal shot

impossible ones:
-getting telefragged by a corpse of a monster you just rocketed into a teleporter
-pressing taunt so many times you suffocate to death
-ceiling fell and you were trapped, not able to kill, and you are the demons, and then you're a zombie
-playing on megaman rp server as a doomguy and everyone teams up on you
-choosing a map in duel32 and you fall through a map picture

-Teammate's BFG blast pushes you into an inescapable pit of lava.
-You open the door. Suddenly, Cybie surprise and kills you before you can react.
-Someone SSG's you into the enemy, but the enemy is still alive and kills you.
-Commander Keen telefrags you.
-When you think the lava/nukage/blood is safe to walk on due to past map usage, then die.

-Troll SSG's you off a cliff into inescapeable nukage in AV.
-Trying to Pistol your way through Doom 2.
-Trying to Fist your way through Doom 2.
-Trying to beat Doom 2 walking backwards Turn180'ing only to fire.
-Trying to beat Doom 2 walking with Turbo 1.
-Playing with Gravity 99999 with Falldamage on.
-Playing too much Hexen and thinking you have the jumpheight of Neil Armstrong.
-Playing too much MM8BDM and thinking all monsters only shoot projectiles.
-Being a true "\cjPlayer" and binding Turn left/right rather than Strafe left/right.
-Turning the Gamma scalar all the way up. (MY EYES)
-Turning the Gamma scalar all the way down. (I CAN'T SEE SHIT)
-SV_samespawnspot on an instant killfloor.

Some seem plausable to others with handicaps (Gamma & Turning), but most are asking for death.
