Sunday Funnies - Death, Dismemberment, & Beheadings

As gamers, we watch a lot of our favorite characters and villains get killed on television and the big screen in many, many ways.  We sometimes chuckle about it, which is probably wrong to do.  Today is one of those days.  To start us off, The Nerdist had a fine article here recently on how to build your own Star Wars Severed Limbs collection though I dug around a bit online and found a complete one to picture for this blog post.

Of course, to get the full picture, you really need to go to starwars.wikia.com and the entry on Dismemberment which recounts the total severity of lost limbs here.

Finally, what discussion of genre fiction would be complete on the subject without "A Brief History of Beheadings on ‘Game of Thrones’" here.

Humor, often gaming-related,
to start the week with a chuckle.
