Blowing Yourself Up With an Explosive
Cooking a grenade takes skill and great anticipation, throwing a perfectly timed grenade that blows up as soon as it gets near an enemy is one of the most satisfying ways to kill an opponent, especially during online play. One of the most unsatisfying and embarrassing ways to die is cooking a grenade for too long and having it blow up in your hands. It’s one of the least honorable ways to die on the battlefield.
Instead of ensuring progress toward the next area, you die by your own hand. These ridiculous video game deaths are not just for bad grenades throws; they can occur with poorly aimed RPG’s, poorly timed C4 bombs, or shooting a red barrel that is next to you. What adds to the frustration sometimes is the fact that you sometimes have a chance to run, but your brain is so upset with you, that it keeps you from moving away from the blast radius and makes you pay for your mistake.
