Most video games might let us respawn upon death, but that doesn't mean dying has gotten any easier over the years. By far the most common mechanic for ending the game or losing, death in video games is an inevitable occurrence that every gamer will be more than familiar with. Deaths in video games are as varied as they are frequent. You might bravely leap in front of your ally to save them from incoming gunfire, so that they can deliver that game-winning flag to your base. There could be a full team of five enemies charging into your base, with only your lone support hero there to suicidally hold off while your carries wait to respawn. Unfortunately, the vast majority of deaths aren't quite as heroic. From accidental stumbles to outright terrible plays, there's nothing worse in gaming than an embarrassing death. And, thanks to the wonders of the internet, there's a good chance your embarrassment will be available for the entire world to see! This list takes a look at the 10 most embarrassing ways to die in gaming. Whether it's in an online arena right in front of your mocking foes, or a private shame during a single-player action title, these are all shameful fails that most will be all too familiar with.
