NetHack (DOS) (Fastest death) in  

Autopickup was turned on and a cross-aligned intelligent artifact was generated on the same square as @. It's automatically picked up and it blasts the player for 4d10 damage (because it is an intelligent cross-aligned artifact).

Losing the game before even gaining control of the character? This has to be some sort of accomplishment.

@kinkkku I quote the submission text: «A female Tourist comes into the dungeon, finds a shiny artifact silver saber (Grayswandir) on the stairs she entered by [...], picks it up (the default options pick up all items you come across), takes damage from touching the artifact (a 1 in 4 chance for an unintelligent crossaligned artifact like the lawful Grayswandir for a neutral Tourist; [...]), and dies from the damage (around a 52% chance for a starting Tourist [...])»

RIP Headphone users

"This *was* a tool-assisted recording." Ha!

I've almost had this happen. I had Greyswandir spawn 2 squares away from me.

And this is why you ALWAYS disable autopickup.

If this character was lawful, oh boy, that would have been an A-MAZING run!

This needs a frame by frame replay.

Have you tried playing the lotto?

lol "do you want to see your conduct {ynq} (n)" *dead* on those types of encodes the speed should be slowed down, maybe encoding it at a faster speed then replaying it at slow motion or slowing down the emulator can help

NetHack is awesome. XD

HOW DID YOU TOUCH GRAYSWANDIR WHEN DID YOU OBTAIN GRAYSWANDIR.

Do not pass GO, etc.

@xMisterEpicx I imagine. Most likely because TAS is serious business.

Unhappy April Fool's Day.

Oh, wait.... What? What the fuck just happened?

I actually figured out what happened by using the HTML5 beta to slow the video to 0.25 percent. Had to play it three times to comprehend though.
