Think about it for a moment: Videogame characters die all of the time in all types of horrible ways. In “Mortal Kombat” someone may rip out your spine and show it to you. Crazy Climber falls 1,000s of feet. Jill Valentine is regularly eaten by the undead. Dig Dug gets crushed by boulders. And there’s more eating, burning, shooting, maiming going on.
So, put yourself into the shoes of any videogame character and tell us which death would suck the most. Imagine that – like in the arcades – you’d have to suffer this indignity three times before “Game Over.” What would be – in your mind’s eye – the most painful, obscenely evil death sequence to suffer through?
For me, it’d have to be Pac-Man. What? That doesn't look too bad? Picture it. When he dies, his mouth opens up to the point where he TURNS INSIDE OUT. Now open your mouth as wide as you can. Wider. Now grab your top jaw and lower jaw and try to fold yourself in half. Gruesome. (It reminds me of T2 when the T-1000 fell into the molten steel. At one point it opens its mouth and turns inside out Just. Like. That.)
