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.
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.
Ozwell E. Spencer: •looks like palpatine •sounds like palpatine •says "ironic isn't it" •is killed by his own super soldier (like palpatine) •is definitely palpatine
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.
"So...I've been thinking...When life gives you lemons,don't make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back!" ...How...??? "I DEMAND TO SEE LIFE'S MANAGER! I'M GOING TO BURN LIFE'S HOUSE DOWN,WITH COMBUSTABLE LEMONS!!!"
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)
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).
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.
SharTaur Lol, takes all the cool and mystery from him, doesn't it? I also call my hamster The Illusive Hamster. I'm pretty sure he has a full Shadow Broker layout in that shoe box he lives in. He and his rodent operatives keep tabs on Cerberus and run counter intelligence operations. I'm sure of it. lol.
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 ....
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.
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".
sag asdg Wow, the intellectual level really plunged there. I don't even understand what you're saying bro. EDIT or wait, has ASCII jokes come back in style?
At first I was all "noooo, but yaaaay you killed that colonel guy!" then I saw the colonel take a dose of what I guessed was some kind of super Rad-X and I hated him even more. Made the final confrontation not so much of an anti-climax.
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.
+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 RU-vid... 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.
***** 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. :)
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.
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
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 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
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.
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.
+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.
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.
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
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.)
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.
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
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)
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
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.
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
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.
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.
None of those are ironic. The thing she said at the end would be more ironic if she said "that was more ironic than a room full of spoons when all you think you need is a knife but you truly only ever need is a spoon" Seriously look up the definition of "ironic"
It's a reference to the Alanis Morisette song, which, yes, consists of mostly unfortunate coincidences rather than actual irony, but that wouldn't make for as good a song title.
Cave Johnson kinda reminds me of Adam West. Does stuff that seems like a good idea at the time until put into practice. It reminds me of that one Family Guy episode. Where Mayor West got the bright idea to jump in toxic waste thinking it could give him super powers. Instead he got cancer lol!
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.
