Six Cruel Things We've All Done in Video Games - Video
Video games allow players to do all kinds of things that we can't really do in real life. Some of these things might be a little sick and twisted, but it sure can be fun! I know I'm guilty of that kind of stuff, especially in the world of games like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. Zoomin.TV Games released a video that points out six cruel things that many of us might have done in video games.
Gaming lets you do all sorts of things you could never actually get away with. It's the perfect medium to act out your fantasies even if they are a little dark. Here are 6 cruel things we've all done in games! I'll admit, I'm guilty of all of them.
What are some of cruelest things that you have done while playing video games?
1. Torturing Sims
Everybody who has ever played the Sims has at one point tortured them. Whether you tried to set them on fire or drown them in the pool, we've all been there. The more heartless bastards would simply build walls around their Sim and let them starve to death. Burn, drown or starve? The choice is yours.
2. Making rollercoasters crash
What is more fun than building a rollercoaster? Building a rollercoaster and then letting it crash of course. We've all built horrible rides that go way too fast and only serve as death traps for the people brave enough to ride them. That will teach them for complaining about the price of fries.
3. Blowing Up Megaton
Few things are more evil than dropping a nuke on innocent people. Yet lots of us did exactly that in Fallout 3. We didn't mind destroying Megaton due to the whims of a rich guy who thinks it gets in the way of his view. And afterwards you can talk to the people that got exposed to radiation because of you. Talk about an awkward conversation.
4. Shooting enemies in the balls
Doling out headshots has become second nature for most gamers. But the more cruel kind of gamer will go for the much more painful ball shot. Shooting an enemy in the balls is always good for a laugh even if it's only to see if the developers have made an animation for it. I feel your pain guys.
5. Locking the butler in the freezer
We all loved running around in Lara's huge mansion in Tomb Raider 2. And locking her butler in the fridge was one the most fun and cruel things you could do. There were countless rumours that if you left him inside long enough he would actually freeze to death. That wasn't the case but still we feel bad for poor old Winston.
6. Tying people up
Call us cruel but we love tying people up in Red Dead Redemption. You can drag your victims behind your horse or just straight up kill them if you're done playing with them. The game even rewards you with an achievement for hogtying a helpless woman and leaving her on a railroad track. Now that's just cruel.
