Lifthrasil: Yes. Cracked is bad that way. A huge time-wasting trap, paralleled only by TVTropes! :-)

snowkatt: or wikipedia i once went from bees on that website to biplanes to diodes to cpu's to video cards to the macintosh

LOL. I know that wiki-madness well. I once went to wikipedia to look up a certain dinosaur and then spent the next 2 hours studying geology and rock formations, all because of the extinction events and the relation between Earth changes and biology. Wiki-madness will drain your life.

Emob78: Cracked is like a million other websites. It discovered what it was good at and proceeded to do the same thing forever. Its biting commentary is now replaced by laggy, unfunny videos and forced fed social agendas masked as satire. Remember back when Ebaums was the talk of the town? Can you remember the last memorable thing Ebaums did? Cracked is going along the same path. Fuck, 90% of the internet is going down that same path. Same reason that the most watched videos on youtube are videos of fat people falling down escalators or funny things cats do.
Yes, cracked has been going down hill lately... But their video games related articles are still very good.

No list of "game over death scenes" could ever be complete without including the bulk of Sierra's "Quest" series games. King's Quest & Space Quest, especially. Police Quest, not so much, but KQ and SQ were entertaining as hell.

Mentalepsy: I always wondered why the Prince kept messing up his story so badly.

"And then I fell into the spike trap and DIED! Wait, that's not what happened."
I remember that, lol! :)
I always feltt it was more like an annoying listener anticipating the Prince's next moves, instead than him messing up.
"And then you killed yourself slipping over an edge?"
"No, I didn't die. Let me go on..."
"And then you were torn to pieces by a circular saw?"
"No, no, no, it didn't go like that! Let me tell you again..."
"And then... etc, etc"

It did not add a sense of guilt like in other games, but surely it let you feel like a troll! ;)
