Top 10 Most Bizarre Ways to Die in a Video Game

08. Death by Ring Out (Soul Calibur)

While there are a lot of really bizarre ways to die, Death by Ring Out has to be among the most annoying and frustrating bizarre ways to die in a game.

A Ring Out Death happens when the players are battling in a ring event, and one player hits the other in such a way that they fall off the edge of the battle area - or ring - at which point they instantly die, with the game narrator's voice announcing quite cheerfully “Ring Out!”

Not only does that result in a death, but the game has a very wide selection of what players call “Ring Out Calls” - many of which are, well, amusing. Or maybe we just have this really twisted sense of humor?

A selection of the more memorable - if unexpected - Ring Out Quotes includes:

Dammit!

How can I?

How dare you?!

How embarrassing...

How uncouth!

I'm too young to die!

It can't be!

It's still too soon!

It's too soon!

Nice aim!

Not again!

This is not fair!

You foil me again!

You planned this!

You'll pay for this!

What?!

There are so many - though some seem to repeat more often than others - that it is pretty common for players to not only spend a lot of time doing Ring Outs, but they record them for YouTube, which also makes this a rather lame Let's Play theme as well.
