** The final chapter is full of this.

** The fate of {{spoiler|Bula}}. Combined with [[Nightmare Fuel]].

* Several in ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'', although given the [[Kill Em All|premise]] of the roleplay, that isn't really surprising. One example is the death of {{spoiler|Andrew Lipson.}} He is {{spoiler|hit by lightning, and survives, however, the electronics on his wheelchair are shorted out. This leaves him attempting to arrest his descent down a slope, an endeavour in which he fails, causing him to fall from a cliff.}} ''He doesn't die'', and is {{spoiler|left, immobile, on the beach below as the tide comes in, causing him to slowly drown}}. The fact that he was talking to his best friend on the phone when {{spoiler|the lightning struck}} makes it even more saddening.

** Also, {{spoiler|Hawley Faust}}'s death - giving in to his injuries after days of struggling to overcome his wounds. The emotional reactions of the other characters around him are what makes this especially upsetting.

*** The ending of v2 counts, too. At least what parts of it have come out so far.

Line 114:

* ''[[The British Railway Series]]'', a [[Thomas the Tank Engine]]-inspired [[YouTube]] series showing the lives of real engines, has its share. The biggest is in {{spoiler|''The Legacy of Gadwall'', when Gadwall, the first engine to have been renamed Sir Ralph Wedgewood, dies during the bombing of York station. Carly Simon's version of Danny Boy is used to great effect.}}

* The end of [http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/416434 Alfred's Playhouse] (NSFW!) in which Alfred confronts his mind. In fact, the whole series. Something about the sexually abused dog who desperately retreats into a fantasy world in order to escape the trauma really gets to me.

* One of the most tragic scenes in ''[[The Salvation War]]'' opens chapter 29, when the [[Kill Em All|decimated]] survivors of Abigor's army return; there are only 3 to 4 hundred living daemons out of ''400,000'', and many of those survivors were left cripples maimed by human weaponry. More than any other this one scene, with female daemons desperately searching for their mates among the survivors on a parade ground, drives home the extent of the [[Hopeless War|futility of the daemon incursion]] that never made it past the first, only, and decisive battle on Earth.

** A subsequent scene also starring Abigor is when {{spoiler|Satan}} punishes him for his failure by ordering him to make another attack using his entire clan (including mates and kidlings) and the army's survivors, which is so obviously a forced suicide that he ends up ''deliberately'' bunching up his rag-tag "force" in hopes that the inevitable artillery shelling will kill them instantly instead of leaving them horribly maimed. {{spoiler|Fortunately, the artillery barrage is targeted ''around'' them, and he is allowed to surrender}}.

** Perhaps even more tragic are the scenes in Chapters 70 and 71 of Pantheocide following Uxhalar, an angel who survived the nuclear strike on Elhmas' army, as he dies of radiation poisoning.

Line 136:

*** True, and there's a few theories out there already that say he's either alive and ordering hits on clones, has come back as a grunny, or will come back in the future. Still, he wasn't exactly {{spoiler|crazy enough to inject himself with his own experiments}} this time around as far as anyone knows, and Gino {{spoiler|wasn't around this time so that even if Johnny was that crazy they couldn't meld together like last time.}} And assuming he didn't have any [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|rings]] on him, he probably isn't Dazed and hiding out in the Null Chamber. And if he ''does'' turn out alive by the end, it's gonna be one of the [[Ass Pull|cheapest cop-outs in storyline history]]; any attempts to justify it [[Voodoo Shark|would be similarly cheap]].

* [[New York Magician]]: {{spoiler|The death of Michel's grandmother.}}

* Laugh all you want, but [http://icanhascheezburger.com/2008/04/24/funny-pictures-why-no-one-comes/ this] [[~~LO Lcats~~]] image...

* [[The Game Overthinker]] episode 7 perfectly describes the feeling of a new Nintendo game.

* [http://vimeo.com/4220803?hd=1 Leave Me.] The saddest film ever. Words do not do it justice.

Line 162:

* There's one in [[Marble Hornets]]. Jay's Twitter post on December 25, 2010 reads: "Lonely holiday, but not as bad as last year. At least I didn't have to climb a rotting tower this time." More than anything else, more than the stalking, the attacks, the disappearances, the hotels, all that driving, even the apartment incident, this drives home the idea that this is his ''life'' now. He doesn't ''have'' anything else, and he's alone in the world; the rare few human beings he encounters, including old friends, have questionable intentions at best. All just because he wanted to find out what happened to Alex. [[Curiosity Killed the Cast|Curiosity Ruined The Cast's Life]], indeed.

** Also, entry 35, in which {{spoiler|Alex and Jay find out Masky is Tim, and}} Alex ends up smashing Tim's leg. Poor Tim. And it's entirely possible that he was trying to HELP Alex and Jay, but instead, Alex attacks him. In fact, if it weren't for Jay, Alex most likely would have ''killed'' Tim.

* There are ''plenty'' in [[Everyman HYBRID]], mostly due to every character becoming [[The Woobie]] at at least one point or another. Of special mention, {{spoiler|Jessa's implied fate and Jeff's reactions,}} as well as Alex's refusal to accept {{spoiler|his parents' deaths}} and how broken he seems to react to {{spoiler|[[Evil Detecting Dog|Sparky's]] death}}, and some of the Corenthal letters. All mixed with healthy doses of [[Nightmare Fuel]]. And Jeff's tweet after mother's day: [http://twitpic.com/4vofvm (spoilers)]

* [http://www.powerstrike.net/Tehkan/mamelove.html Mame Love], set to a song by Chinese singer Li Li Fen. Also from the site is [http://www.powerstrike.net/Tehkan/mameforever.html Mame Forever], set to Alphaville's ''Forever Young''. Try not to cry while watching these Flash animations...

* And oh, if you think Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody is tearjerking as is, singing the song to the [[Engrish]] that is the [[Zero Wing]] European [[Mega Drive]] intro takes it up to a whole new level. It may seem [[Narm]] at first, but once you get to the ending... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE6emvdmg-M See it here].
