Ending five years of anything is Danielle Staub homemade Sex tape Celebrity videohard, but you'd ideally like to go out in a blaze of glory.

It's not quite the situation that saw the unlucky end of a five-year run of Minecraft, reportedly the longest known on the game's hardcore permadeath mode.

As Polygon reports, talented Twitch streamer Philza ended his lengthy five-year run after being attacked by a dreaded zombie baby in magic armour, and finished by a spider.

"No! Really? That's how I die?" said Philza as the screen suddenly flicked over to 'Game Over.'

"Of all the things, I knew it was going to be something stupid."

Playing for that amount of time in permadeath mode — once you die in the game, that's it, there's no respawning and the world is reset — is truly impressive feat, but that doesn't make this moment any less brutal.

In case you're not across Minecraft's hostiles, baby zombies like the one that depleted Philza's health are simply younger versions of zombies that can move faster than their grown-up counterparts.

Nonetheless, five years is one heck of a run, even if it was ended by an undead toddler and its eight-legged friend.
