De Vermis Mysteriis appears in the 1992 video game Alone in the Dark . Unless the player character is standing on a pentagram tile, reading it will result in instant death; an additional warning, in Latin, is prepended to the original text in reference to this: “In nomine invocatoris, si non sanctificatus es, cave.”
Having an actual squish animation makes me less anxious about getting pinched somehow
If I’m on my 3rd boulder in a round of dig dug I’ll do a suicide attack. I’ll touch an enemy while the boulder is wiggling above us(if it doesn’t wiggle it won’t fall until you’re alive again), killing ourselves before the boulder falls keeps our corpse unpressed even while being dragged down with our self satisfied enemies(if there’s one advantage to sacrificing ourself for a squish combo it’s that our enemies won’t move out of the way while the boulder is falling).
Everything about Beyond Forbidden Forest is beautiful and bizarre. The death scenes are no exception.
jesus christ the noises
How is there no video of all the death animations in Ninja 5-0? It’s the first thing I thought of.
L-l-l-Lali ho
the Bomberman series has a ton of great death animations
Super Bomberman implies hard that he’s a robot and his eyes are a TV visor projecting an image with its death animation (timestamped)
How could I have forgetten
Everything you ever wanted to know about gibs but were afraid to ask
Those mouth sounds when you get cannibalized
This game is ass, but I have some warm feelings for it. I love that there are weird ass games that almost everyone seems to know, it makes me appreciate even more how great a game Super Mario Bros. is
Speaking of, I remember thinking about how weird Mario died. Time freezes and he becomes transient, doing one more pathetic jump before disappearing into the ground(hope he does this in 3d one day). Maybe he’s going to hell because he killed so many transformed toads, or maybe he’s scared to go to heaven because there are teeth in the sky
I’m glad a lot of us can look back on SMB1 as taking place in a hell world full of terror and not some cute “woo hoo mama mia” place to be.
