Brandi: Completely unrelated, but the phrase 'death by misadventure' sparked a memory, and I had to dig up this gem from the late 80s/early 90s, so thanks for that! youtu.be/AuOB0hVOOXM?...

Sometimes, you just wanna be witness to a murder.

"I'd say it's death by misadventure, officer."

'Death by Misadventure' by Lenny and Ziggyyoutu.be I want a death by misadventure Wanna die face down in some dude's pool Not gonna kick in my sleep lyin on my dentures When I die Jack it's gonna be real cool...

Nice! It's the best sounding cause of death, because it feels like it's implying morbid hilarity.

It totally does. I've had a couple of IRL close calls that would have qualified, and it's a combo of 'this is gonna hurt, but not for long' and 'this'll make for an interesting obituary, or a good story'

back when i played Destiny all the time maybe 50% of my deaths were from miscalculated jumps or falling through some random piece of geometry that was borderline out of bounds and i became very familiar with the "Death by Misadventure" screen and the hilarity of someone being Bad at Platforming
