Ikanna loved Black & White when she was three. Her mom threw it away because she tortured anything that moved quite happily.

Mandemo is suprised Game/EvilGenius is not mentioned. Let's face it, is there anything more satisfying than putting female agents into greenhouse? Or howabout some laser operated groin surgery? Even better, minions with low loyalty can be (literally) brainwashed back 100% loyalty. Best part comes with super agents, who refuse to die unless specific trick is used on them, meaning you can torture them again... and again... and again...

This Troper used this constantly on the Zoo Tycoon 2 and its expansion, dinosaurs, which had fully animated dinosaurs who had an animation eating a human. They basically asked for Video Game Cruelty, I simply provided. First, Hatch about 3 T-Rexes. Wait till you have a sizable amount of people. get them all in one place, then lower the terrain so no one can escape. Unleash all T-Rex's into said pit using corrals and a ramp down. While this occurs, put medium boulders in a mazelike formation that ends in a dead end, so when running from the T-Rex they will get stuck in a dead end and be consumed. Naturally, leave the T-Rex in the pit till it starves as well. The other variation of this idea is to get one of each species and as many humans as you can in your park, and just press shift + 4. The gates deteriorate, releasing all the animals simultaneously for a supremacy death match. HilarityEnsues.

This troper, while playing Black and White 2, usually gets his Creature to take on the enemy troops, and gets the Creature to eat the resulting enemy dead. Not to mention if he's taken over a village and the Creature is occupied elsewhere and his own troops aren't nearby, down comes a fireball miracle. The little side-quest when the random villager accuses me of interloping with his daughter? A rock on your shack and on you, if this troper doesn't feed you to the Creature...

Another fun trick? Buy the multipickup. Grab about a hundred villagers at once and laugh your ass off as you throw them into the sea.

This troper had to take pictures of a Secreatary Bird in different poses. This was veary hard and I got fed up and put the bird in a exhibit with a lion, a lioness, a crocodile, a wolf, a cheetah, a jaguar, a komodo dragon and a nile monitor. It didn't end well.

This Troper is EXTREMELY fond of torturing her villagers (even more so, my enemies' villagers C:< ) in Black & White . It's just too funny burning, electrocuting, throwing around, drowning, crushing, and siccing wolves and/or my Creature on all the tiny, helpless people and their buildings. She also has an easy method of taking over villages by killing everyone off by either the previously mentioned violent methods, or the slightly more-or-less underhanded tactic of poisoning food supplies and letting everyone slowly die of food poisoning, followed by replacing them with a few of my own villagers and throwing a rock or two around. Of course, you can do some of the same things in the sequel, but I've currently only played as a Good God, so I've never really tried anything out yet. But, in both games, there's also the hilarious act of forcing your Creature to eat his own poo, then watching him vomit.

This troper is a particular proponent of the Morrowind Killing Spree, although the world is kind of lonely with that damned Argonian in Mournhold being the only one left alive (because once Asciene Rene is killed in Ebonheart you can't get to Mournhold to kill the Argonian on the other end of the portal.)

Why didn't you kill the Argonian, then use a Recall spell to return to Morrowind?

@/{{SharPhoe}} has a friend who had recently started playing Fable II, and "for a change of pace" decided he was sick of being the good guy and chose to be evil. Not legitimately evil, mind you. StupidEvil. As in "from the get-go, I'm going to slaughter every single person who so much as ''dares'' to '''exist''' within 5 miles of me. Because I can." Needless to say, watching someone bludgeon poor, defenseless townsfolk to a pulp without so much as breaking a sweat kinda gets old after not too long. But he was enjoying himself, so I politely kept my trap shut.

Unless Fable II has a lot more evil missions, you have to be stupid evil even to be moderately evil in the game.

Am I the only one who played as a robot on Time Splitters 2, set all the bots to Snowmen, and then made the only weapon flamethrowers?

This troper was playing X-com and wanted to see how far he could level grind his best soldier. After starting a Terror mission, the troper fed all of his squadmates to the Chrysalids, while the remaining soldier used jetpacks to stay out of reach and slaughtered all of the Chrysalids, his zombified former teammates, and the Chrysalids that popped out of their corpses, ironically doing so still gives you a good mission rating since your kills are still greater than your deaths. Unfortunately, the soldier didn't improve very much, so this troper was merciful and reloaded.

The only redeeming value some recruits have is that you can name them things like ''Dead Man Walking'' and ''Cannon Fodder'' and let them take point. Preferably with a primed grenade in hand.

I have been known to make the guards of MetalGearSolid 4 suffer greatly, shoot the soldiers in the legs, added with the emotion grenades and a couple of nutchrushes later and you will make them wish they were dead.

Also, declining an enemy faction's offer of surrender for their side in ''AlphaCentauri'' is very satisfying when THEY started the war!

Same in ''Spore''. Aliens bubbling frightened in Simlish as your fleet is poised to wipe their race from the universe is IMMENSELY satisfying (or maybe I'm a CompleteMonster). My race are also Zealots. For the glory of Spode!

Playing Spore, I tend to go the aggressive way, building up super-powerful empires using heavy weaponry. I also tend to play as a scientist, for the ability to destroy alien presence on a planet with one shot. So imagine my chagrin when a rival zealot civilization attacked me, and then their allies attacked me as well. The first civilization I drove back to a minor terrascore 0 planet, and made peace with them. The other civilization managed to take some of my planets, until I drove them back, and accidently made peace with them. Then I blew them and their buddies off the map with a planet buster. All this time, I was shouting "That's what you get for fucking up scientific progress!"

I think I might have wiped out a race by accident. Somewhere within my empire, another race had made it to Civ stage. Bored, I paid them a visit and abducted a few of their citizens. When I checked back a few days later, they'd gone back to Tribal. Then they weren't even there and I colonized the planet.

Also, there was that one time I uplifted two races in close proximity to each other--one became a Warrior and the other became a Shaman. They are at war with each other for what I assume to be my favor.

This Troper has established a Warrior race whose sole purpose is to be as asshole-ish as possible, but the nastiest thing she's ever done in Spore was, in fact, with her LawfulNeutral Scientists: The first time she found a purple spice planet, she really wanted to colonize it. The problem: There were already some tribesmen living on a neighboring planet, so the star system was taken. The solution: Bust out Gravitation Wave. The best/worst part? ''None of the other empires seemed to care that she'd broken galactic code this time.'' So, basically, she wiped out an innocent tribal race for living in the same solar system as the planet she wanted, and suffered no repercussions. Fwee.

This troper usually get ride of civ or tribal race by destroying the delicate climate of the planet, and restoring it afterward.

When this troper reached Civ on his first playthrough, he built a tank with lots of BFGs, and for the sake of coolness, added a bulldozer blade on the front. Then he bought a bunch of them and sent them to capture an enemy city. A few minutes later, the city is captured, and when this troper was going to inspect it, he noticed a dozen or so extremely cute, extremely dead critters between his capital and said city...

This troper potentially is the worst with this. I found earth no biggy, I made it T3 waited for a tribe to form, uplifted it to space, allied the species bought earth, than killed the species off.

This Troper needed the Joker badge so he used the infinite money cheat on the Civ stage. And then proceeded to paint the surface of the planet black by chain-firing missiles at it. Needless to say, he won.

In Spore, this troper established his race as peaceful merchants. I don't start wars with other empires, but woe be it to any race foolish enough to declare war on me.

Spodies/Zealots have always been something of a scrappy in Spore, but I had usually regarded them as annoyances to be ignored or fought off and driven home with a good spanking. Then one zealot race managed to wipe out my colonies on a planet I'd worked hard at colonizing. This meant war, faith-heads. So I stocked up on planet busters and followed them to their empire. BOOM went an outlying world (and, incidentally, AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaahhhh... went my relationship scores, but I didn't care). Surrender. Went to another planet, BOOM. Surrender. They didn't surrender. Went to another planet, BOOM. Surrender yet? Nope. Repeated the process until I got to their homeworld. Anti-matter bombed a few colonies and they begged me to spare them. I said "Yes, let there be peace." Then I fired the Planet Buster and cleansed the galaxy of their species. This became even more fun when I downloaded the BetterSpore mod and a trainer for invulnerability and infinite item usage. BetterSpore introduced the Xionic Omega Device, which has the same functionality as the Gravitation Wave (destroys all colonies on a world, leaves ecosystem intact) but does not incur the relationship penalty for galactic code violations. Now, as soon as I first encounter a Zealot race, the theistic little fuckers get systematically eradicated via Xionium bombs until they go extinct and I plant monoliths on all their worlds to elevate replacement species to dominance. If those turn out to be Spodies too, I repeat until another philosophy prevails. Also, since the trainer gives me unlimited item usage, I make sure that if I find a species who adheres to the Philosophy of Science, I deploy the Staff of Life on their homeworld and all the other planets in their home system to give them instant T3s and an all-around nice boost, and then I ally with them. Eat it, faith. Eat it and like it.

This troper, in ''Metal Gear Solid 2'', likes baiting guards with "specialist magazines" (IfYouKnowWhatIMean) and then ambushing them with [=C4s=], as well as "abusing helpless animals." But don't tell PETA about that last bit...

[=MGS4=]? I love knocking the guards out and attaching C-4 to them while they're down. It makes for good fun watching them run for their allies before I press the button and they turn into explodium.

In ''Roller Coaster Tycoon'', open a successful park. Through a series of "do not enter" signs, corral everyone into a 1x2 or 2x2 patch of path. Lower the ground under the path and raise the water in the same spot. At this point, you have hundreds of people in a tiny island in the middle of water. After making all of your patrons angry or tired, destroy the path from underneath them, remembering that no one can swim.

Speaking of ''RCT'' and the shuttle loop thing, am I the only one who used to synchronise several of these deathtraps together just to get a pseudo-fireworks display out of screaming people and exploding coaster cars? I Think Not.

This troper found a more practical use for drowning RCT guests: ''only drown the unhappy ones''. Park ratings will skyrocket.

@/SeanTucker needs to quit adding TroperTales entries. However, he does love killing people via NeckSnap in the MixedMartialArts missions in Saints Row 2.

The first two {{Soldier of Fortune}} games allow for a lot of cruelty, especially the first one, for how easy it is to blow off entire limbs. However, this troper became infamous among his friends for being the guy who often killed people by hitting them in the crotch with a thrown combat knife.

Not sure if this counts, but I always make sure to finish off evrey boss in a video game in the strongest and flashiest way possible. Or Cherry Tap them. I also try many diffrent non conventional ways to kill enemies, if only a good example would come to mind.

@/{{AceOfScarabs}} is guilty of farming newbie pilots in Ace Online, by sneaking his A-Gear deep into the opposing nation's territory and gunning down the air-frames of said newbies as they go about their missions, at least until their high-level mentors come around to chase him off.

This troper is an unrepentant douchebag god in the world of ''TheSims2''. Far beyond the usual 'trapped in the pool' stuff, too; between forced inbreeding, horrifically unsafe living conditions, suicidal exhaustion, grossly untrained attempts at anything dangerous and boarding houses that verge on Arkham Asylum, no tiny digital representation of a human is safe from the boredom-driven bursts of carnage and darkly humorous bloodshed. Try it some time!

Forced inbreeding? Is this with cousins-or-further, or siblings? 'Cause the game won't let you do the latter without a mod.

Actually, as noted/linked somewhere else on this wiki (I think TheSims2 page), there's a trick to do it without mods or whatever. Of course, it's still kinda weird to go though all that effort.

@/JuiceBoxHero does it by having both children adopted out by different families, then having them meet as adults. This troper also takes young children away from their homes and places them in families with adult Sims who "mentor" them and act as replacement parents, then become love interests and spouses for them later on.

This troper did it with the Goths (Sims 3) by having Mortimer marry Bella, Agnes' daughter having kids with a CAS vampire sim, Mortimer's sister Berenice marrying a CAS sim that had the genetics of her and Mortimer, then had Agnes' daughter and Berenice's son have a kid, then their kid is having a kid with Cassandra, their kid will have a kid with the ghost if Gunter, and I'll continue similar cycles of having kids marry/have affairs with family memebers who are too distant to be recognised as family.

This troper (with gleeful and unrepentant use of cheating) set up a cult disguised as a Greek house in ''University''. Its only purpose, to breed the perfect human specimen. Every Sim who joined the cult would be (using a mod) made pregnant by the cult leader. And let's just put it this way: remember that song, "If you tolerate this, then your children will be next"? were.

This troper prefers to use Inteenimator to make a Sim pregnant with themselves, then age the clone up via cheats. Then I kill the parent. There would be no difference despite relationships. Repeat process, create twins a couple of times and have a house full of clones.

@/JuiceBoxHero has done the ultimate evil and actually engaged in ''ethnic cleansing and genocide'' once in her Sims copy. Any Sim family with even a drop of alien/Pollination Technician blood in them was sent to die in horrible fires, in structures specifically made for the purpose. The children were not spared. Additionally, she went out of her way to kill pregnant Sims ''before'' the baby was born so as not to leave any trace of the filthy alien race behind.

Sim Nazis. That's a new one on me.

This troper did something a bit...less "cruel" with the alien situation. After seeing his MALE Sim get impregnated by aliens and then giving birth after that, this troper didn't want to raise a kid since I wanted to focus on just building up the husband and wife first. I dumped the baby out on the grass in the backyard and just let it sit there in its own poop and starving. To make sure that baby would suffer, I shut off the free will option so the couple would ignore it completely as they watched TV or had friends over. It took a good few days until the social worker finally got rid of the freak for me...with teleportation!

In The Sims 2, this troper was experimenting with how early he could hake an orphan without the social services taking it away. He decided to take on of the results, keep it alive (blocking the second floor so he couldn't escape the ghosts), killing off anyone who got too high a relationship rating (with the exception of one female, who died soon after they were married) and making him the ButtMonkey of the game. Ironically, he's probably the most well-adjusted Sim in the neighborhood, aside from a tendency toward nervous breakdowns.

This troper makes large families and puts them all in 1x1 boxes until they starve to death. She repeats this for awhile, then creates a large 2-story house. All the graves go on the first floor and she moves a new family onto the second floor, cut off from all civilization except each other and the many corpses and ghosts inhabiting the lower level.

Try making a family resembling people you detest. Now kill them horrifically. Lock them in a tiny house with no running water and a stove prone to fires, make them fight and work 'til they drop. Whether or whether not you eventually do mercy killings is up to you. Virtual Voodoo Dolls: Yet another cruel and unintentional use of the Sims.

This troper made families of all the people she hated, then built a single 5x5 room filled with living room furniture. No toilets, no fridges, just living room furniture. She would only add rooms containing other necessities (bedroom furniture, kitchen furniture, bathroom furniture, etc.) ''after'' each family member died. The last one standing would have to be haunted by the rest of the family. It doesn't end there, oh no. I deleted all of the doors that led outside, leaving the last one to die in their own filth.

This troper isn't that cruel but I do do some "things" on the Sims 3 that arent considered "normal". I just used cheats to make all other family members die of old age of someone, get her pregnant until her family is full, set her money to 0 (using cheats), and watched the results which, needless to say, proved satisfying.

This troper remembers a Sims 3 game that pretty much proves why she doesn't deserve to be a god. Ever. First, there was "Sad Bunny", her first and favorite Sim. The name... it's a long story. She then proceeds to marry a guy named Ezra, who was very ugly. And then left him on a treadmill in the gym for days so that he would lose a lot of weight. After the two Sims had a really ugly kid, Sad proceeded to have an affair. With the maid. They resurrect and adopt several ghost children as their own (the maid stole a bunch of tombstones), Ezra dies of depression, and Scout (the first kid) becomes an Emperor of Evil. And that was just the beginning...

You all lack the proper imagination for ''real'' cruelty. Try doing all of this stuff to them after giving them happy and fulfilling lives. And then you watch them break in the most heartwrending ways possible. It is ''glorious''.

Perhaps not all that cruel, but this troper will lock up his sims until they really have to pee, then release them...where the only toilet is at the center of a house designed in the shape of a giant spiral. Watching them run round and round is just so funny.

In Sims 3 This Troper took the horible "death by starvation/exasution" to a new level. I first created 2 sims, one red with enourmous features spread as far apart on his face as possible, one blue with tiny features scrunched together, assuming they'd have normal kids. Nope. Following that, I stuck them all in a house in individual rooms, but kept the kids alive just long enough to have them age up and gain a (dysfunctional) trait. I them personalized the rooms so that each of them was living in their own personal hell, unable to die.

Sims in 3 can live on one juice box every 2 and a half days. And nothing else.

I know a guy who made a Sim hydrophobic in 3. He then turned every hallway into an indoor pool. Come to think of it, I'm fairly certain I'm the one who suggested it...

This troper once staged a "cult suicide" in the original Sims. I created an entire neighborhood, used the NPC editor to put them all in the same clothes (white shirt, blue tie, blue slacks for the men, white blouse, black skirt for the women -- it was as close as i could get.) For the original Sims, one of the user-made things you could download was a teleporter that would bring all sims from the entire neighborhood to one lot. I used that to bring all of my similarly-dressed sims to the same lot, which had a large one-room structure on it, filled with carpets, straw furniture and paintings: all your good flammable stuff. Once the entire room was filled with the members of the "cult," I went into buy mode, bought a fireworks launcher, and put it into the middle of the room. For those who don't know, the fireworks launcher was a device that would start a fire if a sim used it indoors. Then, all I had to do was wait until a sim, wanting fun, lit the fuse on firework, and the rocket came back to earth in this room full of flammable furniture and rugs, and panicky sims all dressed alike.

This troper was particularly entertained by an optional quest on Nar Shadda in KnightsOfTheOldRepublic 2 that actually requires you to kill off a couple of random mooks (netting you dark side points) while they are backing down, unless you have a very low Intimidate check.

In ''Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis'' this troper would load a very large park, delete every single building and fence and watch as the tourists are killed by dinosaurs, die of dehydration, starvation and exhaustion. Just like in the movies =D.

This troper will take the jeep on missions and run over the smaller dinosaurs, killing them instead of completing the missions.

The first thing this troper discovered through playing ''Fallout 2'' was that he was a horrible, horrible person. I managed to avoid the Child Killer achievement only by a technicality, and on at least one occasion maimed a little kid with a shiv. With a called shot to the eyes.

Children in ''Fallout 2'' have very few hit points, but it's possible to keep them alive under prolonged assault if you save to avoid too high damage and keep enough stimpacks around to draw out their agony. As such, it is perfectly possible to systematically cripple a child's limbs with unarmed called shots, followed by blinding him with a hit to the eyes, leaving the kid a broken, useless wreck desperately limping a single square a turn to escape you. Best to leave them alive after that, avoiding the Child Killer perk and enacting your own kiddie version of "To the Pain." This is not theoretical; this troper was getting very tired of being pick-pocketed in the Den.

I WILL NEVER. SLEEP. AGAIN.

This troper's off to buy Fallout.

Back when I was borrowing GrandTheftAuto: Vice City, I used to jack a car, and just run over every single person I came across, all while listening to the New Wave station. "Keep feeling fascination...passion burning...love so strong..." When the paramedics came, I'd ''run them over'', and jack the ambulance, and continue to run people over. I'd go and find the flamethrower, head to the mall, camp around the food stands, and then torch the hell out of anyone who came near. Police would show up and I'd just move left to right, creating a wall of fire, and the cops were dumb enough to run right into the flames. Missions? What are those?

The troper who posted the previous statements now remembers picking up hookers, and then beating them to death with the baseball bat to get the money back. But everyone probably does that.....right...? And then there was the "park any car in any place where there's a large number of people and then shoot the car until it goes explodey and maims/kills anyone caught in said explosion". Methinks this troper in actuality is a truly madly deeply horrible person...

Speaking of hookers, I (a different guy from the above) have a fun game to play in San Andreas. I pick up a hooker in whatever car I happen to be in when the whim takes me. I then turn on the "Cars Fly" code and take off. Once I reach the highest altitude, I bail out and let the car fall while I gently waft toward the ground with the only parachute in that particular Gremlin.

Hookers are great fun in that game, early morning sadism has seen me put the maximum sex appeal cheat on, swim a little way out into the ocean and watch them run into the sea - drown - and then swim through the corpses collecting their money, and pick one up, drive her out to the big ear and drop her off, count to 15 and then hunt her down with a chainsaw... And just the genral sawn off shotgun rampage. I'm a good person.

This troper is a total sadist on Grand Theft Auto 4. There was the time he shot a hotdog salesman painfully at point blank range, giggling 'you make our nation's children fat, and now you're dead!'. There's his habit of referring to pedestrians as 'nature's brakes', his rampage inside a hospital, blowing up patients inside their bed and gunning down everyone in the waiting room, buying a soda, and saying 'they'll be fine, they're in hospital.'. And then there was the time he shot someone in the legs with a shotgun to cripple them, ran them over with their own car, while protesting to his friend who was in the room that 'I am not a psychopath!'

Do one of the special jumps that gets much needed ''Grand Theft'' cash...and land on a pedestrian. Bonus if the pedestrian also has cash you can steal.

Many ''Vice City'' aspects allows one to build roadblocks before a mission start. And or just spam bazooka shells into the opponents. Mission win! With some of the races, you can kill all your opponents and take your time completing it. You still get the cash.

This troper spends quite a lot of time just beating pedestrians up, even continuing to do so when they've already carked it. And then waits for the ambulance to show up so that the paramedics can get a beatdown too. Surely that's only a step or two away from being excommunicated?

One favorite activity of this troper is running into bystanders at full-pelt to send them sprawling to the ground, then continuously walking/running on them as they try to get up (if done long enough, this ''actually kills them''). At one point Roman called, so I'm standing on this poor guy struggling to get up while casually accepting Roman's invitation to go play pool.

I guess the GTA series is perfect for sadistic maniacs like us. Here are two of my personal favourites from San Andreas: Get a motorbike and start driving on the sidewalks. Try hitting people straight from behind, else they run away. This way though, they will fly straight up into the air and then smash on the pavement. Another good thing are the remote-detonated bombs you get at some point. Those latch onto anything they hit. Even people. While average pedestrians will panic when you do this, cops won't, in conjuction with the "never wanted" cheat, you will be able to attach as many bombs to them as you want. And then blow them up. Anywhere they go.

This troper had a special spot in [=GTA3=] where pedestrians walk near the water. So he pushed a car into the water and blew it up. The peds, horrified, ran over to look at the burning car, fell into the water and drowned, horrifying the onlookers that didn't see the explosion. Said onlookers rushed over, fell in the water and drowned, horrifying the other onlookers...

Also in [=GTA3=], This Troper much enjoyed using the cheats to give the pedestrians wepons and make them riot. Cue some kind of post-apocalyptic city...and some pedestrians who are an uncannily good shot with a grenade launcher.

A group of my frat brothers and I used to play a game called "Let's Kill Roman!" where we would find interesting ways to off Roman, which includes flying to the top of the MetLife Building and knocking him off of the roof with a baseball bat and ramping motorcycles with Roman on the back while holding a grenade.

''Perfect Dark 64''. Something just seems wrong with taking a man's gun, intimidating him into surrendering and blowing his chest in. With his own gun. Doesn't stop me from doing it.

Doesn't stop this troper from aiming a bit lower. Or completely disfiguring the poor bastard with an explosive Phoenix round to the face.

''The Force Unleashed''. Beating a Stormtrooper to death with another Stormtrooper is pure awesome.

No, no, crushing legions with a TIE fighter is awesome.

You're both wrong. Snapping the necks of impaled Jawas is awesome. #QUOTE# Many would consider that a kind service, but hey, your call...

I like to dangle my enemies over a ''very'' long drop and wait to let them go until they've run out of things to scream. The best part? ''The game gives bonus points for doing so''. That's a sign that the developers really grasped the nature of TheDarkSide.

@/{{BigBlackOtaku}} enjoys grabbing stormtroopers and either bouncing them on the ceiling or ground like a basketball.

This one Played Through forces Saga}} Jedi academy as of zelda}} Link, And he always Focused on Grip, and Heal. He lost count on how many cultist's and Remnants He threw down Pits or into a Hazard

I like to half-choke the opponent then send them flying into a heap among a bunch of crates.

I like to play "catch" with enemies in open air levels like the garbage planet, tossing them straight up and seeing if I can catch them before they go splat. Then I tried it on a Jawa. Ever force throw a Jawa straight up? It ''doesn't come down!''

Rather than simply throwing or choking enemies, I always preferred going PsychoElectro on their asses. There's something so ''satisfying'' about turning stormtroopers into living missiles that explode in to force Lightning when you send them flying back into their comrades...while adding MORE Force Lightning for good measure.

Death Star level: What happens when you throw a Stormtrooper into the superlaser corridor while the laser is firing? TOASTY! Not to mention this troper had a devilish smile when he heard that the sequel will allow you to ''MindRape'' enemies.

There's a real sense of... something in possessing guards and leaping to their death in ''Second Sight''. Not as much fun as possessing a guard, shooting another 'fellow' guard, cancelling the possession, and hearing from your safe hiding place shouts of "Traitor!" and gunfire.

In playing the Dark Brotherhood missions in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, I discovered the delight of taking all of Lucien Lachance's poisoned apples, going to a watch tower in the Imperial City, and replacing all of the normal food with said apples when there aren't any guards present. After that, just wait a few in-game hours for the guards to start taking meal breaks, and you're treated to seeing them all commit suicide via poison. With no bounty placed on your own head (though your murder counter doesn't go up, either). And then you're free to legally pillage the corpses for their armor, money, and keys.

Of course, I have now one-upped myself. I am currently playing a character who is being raised up through all four guilds, while systematically eliminating every unnecessary NPC in the world. This usually presents itself as me completing a quest, then killing the quest-giver and everyone else related to the quest afterward. Especially fun was Glarthir's quest, where I milk him for every last piece of gold, kill everyone he tells me to, then kill him right after he proclaims he's "free" of the conspiracy.

I prefer to just sneak up to some nice, concentrated bunch of people (enemies or just hapless shmucks, though if its the latter I'll probably reload after I've gotten it out of my system), launch a high-powered Frenzy spell at them, then just sit back and watch the fireworks.

Do you use mods? Because if you do, congratulations, you have just discovered an infinite amount of ways in which you can torture and kill people for fun, including liquifying their flesh, turning them into zombies, throat slitting, back stabbing, decapitation and chopping in half, turning them into cabbages and yarns... Heck, there is even a mod called AT Prison that puts you in charge of a {{Hostel}} style prison where you can freely kidnap people and torture them in ways inlcuding: burning alive, put in a pool with huge man eating fish, electrocution, gas, put into cages which is lowered into lava, crushing, impaling on spikes, put in a lion pit, chopped by ''huge'' blades, shoved down pitch black abysses, and even sucking their souls out...

This troper remembers an instance in the Shivering Isles, where he was asked to grant death to an NPC who was too scared to do it himself. I gladly obliged. Then I remembered I had the Staff of Worms, and spent what felt like an hour of resurrecting and killing the poor man. It was FUN.

Level 3 Breton battlemage (equal parts battle-axe swinging and fireball throwing) vs. the town guard and citizens of Bravil. Winner: Breton.

This troper doesn't understand why people find the headcrab zombies' screams horrifying, and sets them on fire every chance he gets... because he finds it hilarious. And yes, he has listened to the voice clips backwards.

YABBA! MY ICCCINNNNNGGGGGG

This troper goes out of her way to drop beehives on guards in Snake Eater

This other troper is particularly fond of sedating a snake, then throwing it on an unsuspecting enemy (or boss!) and watching as the HilarityEnsues.

There's a TON of fun to be had killing guards in creative ways in [=MGS3=]. Throwing poisonous animals on soldiers, knocking them out and then dropping them off cliffs, drowning them in quicksand, throwing them into electric fences or even springing their own traps and tripwires on them. The best part? ''None of these methods counts'' when it comes to your endgame "kill" count. You can kill every single guard in the game and still end up with a zero kill count because none of your methods were "direct."

This can be done in MGS: Peace Walker as well. Trying to S-rank the vehicle missions, but you don't have enough fulton recovery devices to non-lethally dispose of all the guards? Grab one of them and CQC-throw him directly under the treads of the tank he's escorting. Enjoy your S-rank as his skull is crushed to a pulp and he screams in horrified agony... hey, you didn't kill him, the tank did!

MGS 3 is the best in the series for straight-up torture. Once you get the stealth in Hard or Extreme difficulty, the mooks are quite resilient, so you can really go to town. One favourite pastime is to go to an area where there are several guards in an enclosed space, like Bolshaya Past Base. Destroy the ammo dump so the guards won't have infinite ammo. Destroy their radios so they can't call backup. Then, drug them and cripple them by shooting their knees, ankes and wrists. They will hobble around pathetically like zombies, reduced to using their pistols because rifles can be ''so'' unwieldy when one's hands have been shot to ribbons by an invisible psychopath. Once they've all been given 'the treatment', you can dispense with the stealth camo and play your own Zombie Survival minigame! When they finally run out of ammo, they'll come at you with just their knives.

Watching hamstrung guards try to hobble away from a white phosphorous grenade can be horrifying. Until you remember what you had to go through to get the stealth camo and the infinity paint.

This troper plays the ''Pop'n Music'' song "Days" to watch its character, Michel, repeatedly get hit with books, and then get knocked out by a pile of those at the end. (A song's character does his/her/its damage animation whenever you hit notes.) Which is ironic, because Michel is his favorite character. Something about stress relief, he guesses. Similarly, he plays "[=SigSig=]" and makes its character, a really cute loli who continuously runs in place, trip over and over, before tripping over one last time and crying at the end.

One of the only reasons this troper plays the original ''Army Men'' game is to set soldiers on fire and watch them scream and melt. And to run them over with tanks. And toss grenades onto barrels of oil. And light forest fires. And send my own squad into a minefield. And use every form of overkill for everything. Given the cruelty potential for this game, I'm surprised so many people hated it so much.

''Punisher'' for the XBOX has cruelty potential built right in. There are special torture areas where one can threaten mooks until they spill valuable (or not so valuable) information about the current scenario. Slamming a window into their face, tossing them off a building, curb-stomping...dozens of scenarios. Whenever you are done questioning a captured mook, you have many options. Knocking them out, a shot to the back of the head, or just going full out and feeding them into the specialized trap. They scream in terror because, since they spilled the info, they think they will live. The pirahnas in Central Park Zoo ate well tonight. As a bonus, if you turn a corner and run smack into a mook and you are fast enough, the Punisher will heft them into the air and blow a chunky hole through their spine.

The clue's in the name.

This troper loves running bad guys down with the tank in ''Goldeneye 007'' and hearing their screams as he squashes them flat.

This troper just managed to get his N64 working again, and so took to enabling 'All Guns' and 'Invincibility' paired with 'Infinite Ammo'. He then had hours of fun aiming rocket launchers at the heads of guards after executing Natalya for being the annoying bitch she is.

This troper has found cruelty in ''World of Warcraft.'' While standing in Ironforge or Dalaran, when he sees someone spamming trade chat asking for just a little gold or silver (and by 'spamming,' this troper doesn't mean being creative with your begging or going five minutes between asking, but by using a macro to spam it non-stop every 15-to-45 seconds), he'll find the person, offer to give them a little bit more "to cover expenses," open trade with that person, put the money in the trade window...and just walk away. In [=WoW=], you can put items in the window for the other person to see, but you have to manually confirm the transaction. I've kept people hanging for upwards of 10 minutes, all the while with them begging and wondering if it's lag that's stopping it from happening, but my ''Crowning Moment of Awesome'' was keeping one of our server's most notorious gold farmers in suspense for HALF AN HOUR (hey, I had to make a Wendy's run) before he/she called it quits.

This troper's finest hour in Azeroth occurred at Tyr's Hand, back in the days the Chinese Gold Farmers were a permanent addition to the village. Having developed a bit of a grudge against them due to broken polymorphs and kiting, when one abruptly turned to me and asked for tons of bread in broken English, I demanded a few gold pieces. He/she agreed, and I patiently filled a bag with conjured bread and made the trade. Ten seconds later, I get a lot of angry /tells from someone who just spent 10 gold on level 5 bread. My other hobby was replying to their Mandarin with high school Spanish, leading one to ask if I was a member of a rival Japanese farmer cartel. Those were the days...

In {{Bioshock}}, this troper managed to sneak up behind the insane female splicer crying over the very short coffin. I listened to the blubbering for about half a second, letting the raw emotion of the scene wash over me... and then I drew the pistol, took careful aim, and said, "I'm very sorry for your loss." BLAM! Headshot.

For bonus points, sneak up behind her, recite ''the entirety'' of the how is babby formed response, ending with: I am truly sorry for your lots.

Does it count if you were able to gleefully bludgeon the shit out of a splicer with a wrench while they cried "I just wanted someone to talk to" or "I'm just lonely"?

What can you do with Little Sisters sobbing after you kill their protector? Wipe out your camera and snap pictures from every possible angle!

''Lemmings''. If they're stupid enough to walk straight into traps,I'm allowed to laugh when they're torn to pieces by a gibbet.

Seconded.

Don't forget carefully timing pointless explosions (crossed out because they serve no tactical purpose, but explosions are never pointless) so that the hapless little lemming explodes in midair.

What? No ''Lemmings 2''? I would take great enjoyment out of the "practice" mode. Three minutes, no game-imposed goals? I'd choose eight random skills, let the freaks survive for some hundred fifty seconds while screwing with the environment, then spend the last half minute letting my inner sadist into the candy shop.

This troper, in ''Fable 2'', was a pristine hero. He got everyone in Oakfield, the entire population, together in the bar, singing and dancing - and then unleashed a level 5 Inferno, slaughtering the entire town in one blast.

This troper is very fond of the things he can do to enemies in ''CallOfDuty: World At War'', whether it be watching foes writhe in agony as they burn to death, stabbing them in the heart with a bayonet at point-black, or blowing their heads clear off their shoulders with the anti-tank rifle. It helps that, in the Russian campaign, Sgt. Reznov seems to encourage such senseless slaughter.

This troper's first character in NeverWinterNights was a fighter with the "recommended" stats--that is, with a penalty in charisma. She didn't realize at first that this would negatively affect interactions with [=NPCs=]. Upon entering a bar and having a random patron call her character ugly, she proceeded to attempt to slaughter the entire populace of said bar. Being only level 2, she failed. Miserably.

This evil troper decided to take his Epic level cleric into the bar in the docks, picked a fight, and watched as nobody in the bar could hit his AC of 60. Then just for kicks and giggles I unleashed two hellballs (Epic level spell that does in the range of 40d6 damage to all in range) right in their faces. All of this with PVP settings set to hardcore. Barely dented my health-bar. Then I just simply walked away from the wreckage. Then again, I once emptied the entirety of Neverwinter, the lands surrounding it, and Luskan. The economy never recovered...

This troper discovered her inner monster while playing ''Nintendogs''. Sure, you can feed it and walk it and love it and all that, but sometimes that gets a little old. So you spice things up by oh say, not feeding or cleaning it for a week. Or ramming it repeatedly with a Mario Kart. Or "accidentally" tripping it up with the Jump Rope. Or scaring it with the toy military chopper (with "Flight of the Valkyries" as background music!). Or throwing a Moai Statue at it. Or ignoring it for hours on end and watching/listening to its shrill barking and whining as it wonders where you've gone to. And that's not even getting into the OTHER things this troper has done to her Nintendogs: the kind that'll change your dog's personality from a sweet-natured pup into an aggressive, snarling hellhound that bites you if you dare to pet it.

Do tell all the other ways to "break" the puppy? >:]

This troper's older brother is like a Nintendogs Torture God. What he likes to do is buy a fairly aggressive dog from the Kennel, send his other regular puppies to the hotel and then engage in a week of Break The Puppy. Starving them, not letting them sleep, leaving the DS running ALL NIGHT while the puppy is still awake and crying for him. He knows a puppy is becoming more Woobie-esque based on how long it takes until it runs away. And when he makes it come back? He throws that Moai statue at it for ten minutes! And when the dog has finally lost its aggressive streak, he abandons it at the Hotel and buys another one. I make it a point to never EVER let him near my Yorkies....

Has a Chinese guy ever asked you "Would you kindly break the puppy's neck?", because that would certainly explain a few things.

When this Troper plays Chaos on DawnOfWar, the (extremely servile) Heretic builder unit says things like "My life is forfeit". When they do this, he turns on Forced Labour (which increases build speed at the cost of health) and leaves them to die, or sends them out to look for the enemy's (almost certainly well-defended) base. It rarely helps tactically, but considering that Chaos commanders tend towards the Darth Vader school of anger management...

Also, DungeonKeeper. Upon finding, in one of the "sandbox" modes, an 'adventurer' fairy named Excrucia, he developed a slightly perverse obsession with breaking the will of fairies and turning them evil.

Oh, and dropping goons off buildings in the SpiderMan movie game. And repeatedly shooting stormtroopers in the crotch in Battlefront. And attempting to personally wipe every Zerg off the map in the final Brood War Protoss mission, just to watch them die...This troper is a true jackass outside of [=RPG=]s (which tend to be aversions).

DwarfFortress has provided a new example; he captured a goblin wrestler in a cage trap, and it's right now chained in a dungeon, being left to rot. JustForFun, he's also set up a couple of bridge traps in other cells, so that if he decides to take one prisoner then needs the space, he can just splat them.

A brief example of a design of a goblin death labyrinth: segments include the Mills of Armok (an unbelievably long wall of traps), the Road to the Hidden City (a spiralling region of unpleasantness in which a specific course must be followed to avoid the plummeting rocks), and Atomsmasher Square (four drawbridges arranged in a square, in order to drop heavily on goblin heads). In a different fortress, I'm capturing as many goblins as possible and putting them in an arena so that my elite dwarves can butcher them. Because I like to think I'm a fair person, I let them keep their weapons. Because I am not, in fact, a fair person, that's ''all'' I let them keep. Armour, shields, clothes, even undergarments - all end up flogged to passing merchants.

This troper discovered what a heartless witch she is in ''Virtual Villagers''. The game does want you to actually take care of the village. However, this troper was content to just let them wander aimlessly and starve, and every time they approached the food bin, berry bush or vegetable garden they would be dragged away. Children and nursing mothers were not spared.

In ''{{Portal}}'' Room 16, this troper carried each and every turret to the end-of-level disintegrator field. There is indeed an android hell, and I'm the grim reaper.

Just the Turrets? This Troper takes it one step further: after disabling all the Turrets, I portal them all into the hallway that ends the test chamber. Then I go back and portal in not just the Storage Cubes, but all the crap in the RoomFullOfCrazy. And the security cameras. This leaves a huge pile of crap in front of the fizzler. Open an Orange Portal right above and parallel to the fizzler, then start firing Blue Portals under the crap. HilarityEnsues as you hear the Turret Death Sound overlap. As well as causing graphics lags.

I do this, every single time. But how is this not Video Game Caring Potential? It's a Matter ''Emancipation'' Grid! Matter was meant to be ''free''!

Despite the Jusitfied Punishment for doing it, this troper, loves to Destroy Cradle 03 on ''Armored Core For Answer''.

Also, while playing ''AlphaCentauri'', using Singularity Planet Busters to destroy enemy Colony Pods is a very satisfying thing. Or getting Hunter/Seeker, then using Probe Teams to destroy all of the Pressure Domes of enemy cities, and forcing the passing of "Melt Polar Ice Caps" several times, all while drilling MORE BOREHOLES, thus filling the Planet with [[MemeticMutation SEA WATER]], causing everyone else to drown.

Holy shit, I thought I had the SMAC cruelty market cornered when I surrounded the other factions' islands (on an 80%ish water map, while playing Pirates) with missile subs packing fungal and conventional missiles, blasted their ecologies to shit and watched gleefully as Mind Worms tore up the defenders and were then cheerfully exterminated at range so my Scout Patrols could march in and take over everything. However the Kill It With Water approach did not occur to me, and therefore I was clearly doing it wrong.

And another "cruel" thing this troper likes doing is making Emil C.'s life terrible (which scores bonus points, by eventually making Marta L.'s life horrible as well): You will be pledging allegiance to Lloyd, Emil- and then you'll be stopping Marta, running in and out of the Fire Temple (and losing a core!), picking the real Lloyd during the SpotTheImposter event, getting fried by Lightning in the Lightning Temple (No Core for You!), and most of the time I'll go for the NonstandardGameOver, and get the BAD END, because it's that SATISFYING (mostly because, at least in this troper's mind Emil and Marta are TheScrappy.)

Seconded, but just because Marta is my Scrappy and I don't like happy endings either (besides the NonstandardGameOver of the game feeds my YaoiFangirl-ism).

And in another act of Bastardy, despite Celice saying he doesn't like Yuria in that way, while playing FE4, this troper will always pair them up, completely ignoring the plot torpedo in a later chapter. Alright, so that's not so bad (In fact, it may be VideogameCaringPotential considering a few issues), but at the same time I also have a Berserk Staff-- which for kicks I'll sell, have her buy it... then she'll cause him to MurderTheHypotenuse on the final level. Or, I'll use the Berserk Staff and have the "My Love Right Or Wrong" Ishtar kill her fiancee (and FinalBoss / BigBad) Yurius. Then, with her still alive, I'll proceed to clear the map-- which [[DrivenToSuicide effectively]] is implied to causes]] her to commit suicide. Fun times. Fun times.

In ''FinalFantasyX2'', you are supposed to catch chocobos in battle, and they will run away if attacked. However, if you're fast enough, and can do enough damage in one hit, it is possible to kill them. Yelling "AndThisIsFor Knights of the Round!" optional, of course.

This troper loves killing bad guys with {{Molotov Cocktail}}s in ''MaxPayne'', simply because they give out such satisfying screams.

Spider-Man games... does there exist a single person who doesn't find great enjoyment in flinging people off the top of skyscrapers, then jumping after them to watch them go splat?

Recent acquisition of the Stealth Camo in [=MGS3=] has allowed Tropers/ARandomSerf to take great advantage of unsuspecting guards, e.g. punching them in the face repeatedly while they look around frantically, making sniper headshots (and nutshots) at point-blank range, using the sound of my footsteps to lure guards over to ExplodingBarrels, and planting TNT on every guard and scientist in a building, retreating to an isolated room, hitting Circle, and listening to the screams. My favorite bit of bastardry so far has probably been letting myself be seen in Groznyi Grad, causing Ivan to flee into the bathroom...where I had previously planted no less than 16 sticks of TNT.

Why did I never think of that? You, my friend, are a bloody genius (and I mean bloody as in you are probably covered in it)!

@/PurplePantherGirl gets her kicks from ZooTycoon 2. She creates a huge (closed) zoo and then lets meat-eaters loose with the herbivores, providing only water and vegetarian food. BWA HA HA HA HAAA.

This Troper just got a copy of 'SWAT 4'. He has named his character in the campaign mode "Sgt. Osborn". As in Norman 'The Green Goblin' Osborn, the current director of SHIELD/HAMMER. This tells you ''exactly'' how much respect for proper law enforcement procedure, human life, and basic common decency he intends to go through the scenarios with. But hey, on the easy setting you can advance to the next stage even if you score zero points, so all this troper has to do is avoid hitting any of the hostages and he can be as sick and twisted as he wants on the suspects. Taser gun... check. Pepper spray, check. Stingball grenades, check. Eventually executing them after they're down and handcuffed, check... current personal worst, -415 points for murdering fifteen hostages and nineteen illegal uses of lethal force vs. suspects.

You can also order your bots to use the taser on already handcuffed suspects... or civilians.

In SpyroTheDragon, you gain health by killing some of the cute, defenseless animals that are running around in every stage, like fluffy sheep, rabbits, and frogs. This troper would revel in evil, heartless glee as she found various ways to kill them in every way possible, including getting a fire-breath powerup and make them bounce off things (or even better, bounce off things ''twice'' and then land in water. Ten points!) This did come back to bite her in the backside later ... now that she had become used to killing innocent livestock, she once played a Zelda game for the first time and spotted some cuccos. We all know what came next. She's still deeply traumatised by the experience. (''* sob* '')

When I got bored I started a rampage of bunny and sheep genocide. I almost peed myself of laughing when hearing the poor little animals cryings, but mostly at how the sheeps bounced when I headbashed them and the bunnie's cries. I used the fire-breath powerup too, but using the headbashing was my favourite.

Everyone who has played a ''{{Fallout}}'' game has engaged in the guilty pleasure of exterminating all life in the various towns and settlements. My favorite little challenge has been sneaking up to the hidden sniper's perch in Megaton and perfecting Confessor Cromwell's unceremonious assassination. There is no greater glory than dividing a child of atom with the Reservist's Rifle. After that I usually drop a few mini-nukes on the populace and then go door to door immolating them with the Burnmaster.

I depopulated Megaton with a hunting rifle. Since I blew Mr. Burke apart with Bloody Mess, I couldn't destroy the town (I didn't talk to him first), so I defused the bomb. The only occupants left alive were the two children, one of whom thanked me for defusing the bomb.

This editor sent the villagers in his sister's town in ''AnimalCrossing'' "crank letters." One of them was an insulting letter calling the recipient a smelly dog who doesn't wash her hands after using the toilet. He also runs over his sister's carefully arranged flower beds and pushed a sleeping villager into a pitfall. He ''reset the game'' quite a few times. And most unspeakably, he ''hit a villager with a net until she cried''. Eat your freakin' heart out, Bowser.

Hitting an animal 'til they cry is good, but we want great. Add a pitfall to that and you have something.

In our town, the cruelty potential was against each other, mostly. Everything went downhill after we got signs. People wrote out intimidation messages, threatened shakedowns, cast crude aspersions, and otherwise harassed each other day in, day out. Out of game we traded bells for real world favors and housework, so there was even racketeering going on. The finest effort, however, would have been the guy who got the first shovel on offer, and then attempted to dig a ditch around the entire set of houses, before selling the shovel for an extortionate price. Sadly for him, that tactic doesn't actually work. However, the one guy who kept on fishing up the coelacanths and proudly displayed them in his home, setting gloating messages on the town notice board about refusing to donate even one to the museum got some points for it.

In hindsight we really made our town a living hell for everyone.

In ''Lords of the Realm 2'', this Troper's favorite tactic is to send small peasant armies to destroy his enemy's fields used for crops or cows (basically food). He also doesn't care if the army survives long enough to destroy two fields, as long as they destroy something. He also doesn't capture the territory those fields are in, why? Because hungry people will revolt and that's not a good thing when you own the land. So how is this cruel?

The enemy slowly loses his/her ability to wage war against you (fields take forever to reclaim)

You send your own peasants (they're practically cannon fodder) to destroy fields and die if someone finds them. This is done because you don't have to use your resources or weapons to arm them and it controls your land's population (1500 seems to be the maximum manageable population, after that, food becomes an issue)

The poor saps in the county you pick on go hungry for the rest of the game (because it's not worth trying to keep it).

One of this troper's friends had ''JFK Reloaded''. Suffice to say that shooting guns out of cops' hands (taking a fair amount of hand with them) was the ''least'' horrific thing they devised.

This troper loves the Nancy Drew games for the adventure, the puzzles... and the hilarious ways of killing off Nancy, or otherwise getting her fired. Once in a while, there is a death that is genuinely frightening for this troper; the rest of the time, it's funny to watch Nancy die of food poisoning (among other things).

So I'm not the only one who laughs at the various deaths of Nancy Drew! I remember osmeone on Youtube was doing a let's play of it, and decided to make a sandwich. "Hmmm....Tomatoes...mayonnaise...Ice cream...Jellyfish..." *eats sandwich* "oooooh...suddenly I don't feel so goooood!" And let's not forget putting ''everything available'' on the sandwich and giving it to Nancy's aunt!

In ''{{Prototype}}'', this troper killed a tank... by throwing civilians at it.

Also, there's an endless amount of fun (not to mention poetic justice) inherent to disguising yourself as a Marine and then accusing Blackwatch soldiers of being Mercer.

Amateurs. Try grabbing a civilian, running up to the top of a very tall building, lightly pitching him off, jump-kicking after him, bodysurfing him to the ground and flipping his body at another civilian.

This troper would just grab a civilian, then chain jump into the water. Closest thing I've got to waterboarding in that game. Also, eating a civilian, then going around and selectively murdering everyone with the same character model I can find like some weird serial killing doppleganger.

This Troper recently started a vampire playthrough of Morrowind. Like any sensible vampire playthrough he is using the Vampire Embrace mod (allows you to create spawn and prevents being a vampire from locking you out of 99.9% of the game.). One quest in the original Morrowind has you attempt to convince a son (on behalf of his mother) that being a vampire will not make his dreams come true. For the lulz I made a temp save file and convinced the son to become a spawn, next I made his mother into a follower and have her son drink her dry!

More Vampire hijinks! With the 'children of Morrowind' mod you can create spawns from teenagers (it's mentioned in the readme and heads for vampire teens are included, so it's intended to some degree). What wasn't intentional was 1. drinking the blood of children under the age of 13 (pretty good source of blood actually, as they are immortal and can't be overdrawn). 2.having your spawn feed on said children. And if you tell them to devour the food, they break the children's normal immortality.

In ''Majora's Mask,'' there is a short sidequest where a thief steals an old woman's bomb shipment. The game wants you to either let the thief escape with the shipment (thereby opening up other sidequests), or help the old woman by giving the thief a good slash with the sword. However, I have taken immense and entirely unnecessary pleasure at the discovery of a third option. Rather than slash him with the sword, shoot him with an arrow - the bomb shipment will ''explode,'' taking the thief with it. Not only do you ''murder'' an innocent NPC, but the woman still loses her shipment! And because of the game's ResetButton mechanic, you can do it over and over again!

In ''{{Maniac Mansion}}'', this troper always ended up giggling uncontrollably whenever the titular mansion blew up. I must have destroyed that house a hundred times, just {{For the Evulz}}. I also enjoyed screwing with Dr. Fred by repeatedly draining the pool and turning off the circuit breakers in the basement just to watch him shit his pants in fear and run around like a chicken with its head cut off as he tries to stop the impending meltdown.

In ''DeusEx'', I tried to be a good agent, taking down guards with the baton, only occasionally throwing their unconscious bodies in the river. Then, after switching sides, something snapped in me. I was using less Gas Grenades and more LAMs, I was blowing away people with the pistol instead of using the tranq, but I drew the line at murdering civilians. Then I got the Dragon's Tooth. I started with killing everyone in Wan Chai, massacring the Underworld Tavern, killing Maggie Chow in cold blood. I do not intend to stop. Paris shall die.

Wan Chai is where I lose it, too. Though, usually it happens the minute I get there. I block off the entrance to the Lucky Money, grab a flamethrower (since by then I have more napalm than I can carry) and... well, let's just say the resulting heap of smoldering corpses is big enough to write out the Declaration of Indepedence.

''Gun'' is my favorite game, mainly because almost EVERYONE in the game that isn't useful to the plot or side missions is cannon fodder. My favorite tactic is to shoot dynamite arrows into the windows of the Alahamra, then shoot people coming out. Oh, did I mention the game gives you the option of scalping people that aren't quite dead yet?

During the time when the original Halo was popularly played (and when you were allowed to like it), this troper caught someone teabagging with a sniper-rifle. In a once-in-a-million opportunity...he fired the sniper rifle and got the dude ''right in the crotch''. He said "You're half a man now dog!"

This Troper and her boyfriend once had the following conversation on GaiaOnline about the MMO zOMG: #QUOTE#This Troper: So, wanna go play zOMG? #QUOTE#Boyfriend: Sure! Wanna learn about cow-tipping? #QUOTE#This Troper: What? How cruel is that? How would you like it if I flipped you out of bed... Aw, heck, how does one go about tipping cows?

In ''FinalFantasyTactics'', this troper killed and crystallized the white mage generic he had since the beginning solely because she was no longer used since Orlandu and Beowulf joined, and so Beowulf could instantly learn her white magic.

Averted with @/DickRichardson - Or subverted, he doesn't care. I do nasty, evil, terrible things... to the bad guys. Like crippling the Raider's limbs in any of the ''Fallout'' games and slashing them to death slowly. Or burning the slavers alive. Or sucking the life out of the gangsters in ''inFAMOUS''. Or disarming the targets in ''{{Hitman}}: Blood Money'' and shooting them in the legs until they die as they beg pathetically for their worthless lives. Or going through ''Call of Duty: World at War'' with just a flamethrower and teabagging the dying Japanese soldiers as they burn. Or doing the Brown Thunder missions in Vice City and San Andreas, and take out my rage on the fleeing criminals and enjoy seeing them blow apart. (Yeah, he's the type that doesn't maim whole crowds) Or, in DwarfFortress, ripping apart Goblin towers and "rescuing" the children with goblin bones, and slaughtering evil towns (he actually modded in dark dwarves and other similar evil creatures, just to blow them apart). Yeah, he may be a goody-two-shoes pussy, but that doesn't mean he'll still make deaths as painful as possible.

In TwistedMetal 2, me and my cousin kill the guy standing by the pool, watch him fall in, then wait for him to respawn.

I love playing BloodRayne. There is nothing better on a bad day then going on an unstoppable rampage.

This troper plays ''{{Fable}} II'' and has twice gone on a rampage. Once he decided to, just for fun, kill a random townsperson. They then called the guards, sparking a fight that had me killing every guard that tried to stop me. The second time was when I was in Bloodstone and started killing people inside the tavern. I ran outside and cast Raise Dead and Blades, enjoying watching people be impaled. I got the Paragon achievement for being completely evil, which wasn't the way I'd wanted to earn it. I didn't save the game either time. In ''Halo 2'', I also enjoyed killing Marines sometimes.

@/AXavierB loves torturing his creations in ''The Sims Bustin' Out''. Most of the time, he sets their houses up to look like medieval sanctuaries, and he individually grooms each Sim as a "sacrifice", picking them off one-by-one. Usually the sacrifice consists of trapping a Sim in a room and setting it ablaze, or putting a Sim in a chamber with a starving mutant plant and taking out the doors.

The only Sims game I have is Bustin' Out for the PS2 (I've been meaning to get Sims 3, but Bioshock 2 lured me away). Anyway, I was having a party (I assure you it was for mission purposes only, I wasn't just fucking off) and decided to talk to some of the people I hadn't really gotten to know. For some reason I can't remember an old woman pissed me off. So I locked her in a small 3X3 room that was one of the bathroom stalls (I got sick of having to clean up puddles since all 3 sims ALWAYS had to go at the same time), took everything out of the room, and left her to drown in her urine puddles. I eventually had to open the wall though since it got kinda creepy having the Grim Reaper hanging around in your bathroom.

(From the same guy) Another incident of psycopathy was when I moved a family in, killed the parents in front of the kids, then isolated the children so that they could only watch each other die in agony. I've also immolated enough sims to officially be considered the Hitler of Bustin Out (I'm trying to initiate the apocalypse in Sim City IV, but it's a bit harder).

@/{{Cobrafire}}'s experience with ''Fallout 3'' can be summed up in four words: Fat Man, populated town. And even though I'm currently playing an Evil character, I chose ''not'' to blow up Megaton on the grounds that it was too '''easy''' of a way to being Evil and did it the Old-Fashioned way: random murder and cannibalism.

Once upon a time in ''EverQuest'', it was possible to buff not only players but [=NPCs=] - including mobs. An enterprising druid could, for example, head to a starting zone and give armour buffs, damage shields and faster run speed to the low-level orcs intended as leveling fodder for baby elf characters. This was, however, considered griefing and (rightly so) a bannable offense. ...didn't make it any less funny, though.

In ''{{Spore}}'''s Creature Stage, I will often murder an entire nest of creatures, leaving nobody exept one baby. I will then attack it until its HP is down to just one. ''Then'', I chase them for a while, enjoying their cries of terror and agony. Finally, I befriend them and gain their trust -- and then I devour them. Yes, I'm a jerk.

Same troper has a tactic for ENDLESS fun with a species. After I only need one more kill to extinct them, I will befriend one -- ''resetting the counter'' and allowing near-infinite torture of the species when repeated. I accept my CompleteMonster status with pride. Did I mention that my creatures just LOVE to eat babies?

no mention of Okami? FOR SHAME. This troper delights in using the brush powers on civilians and animals, just to see what would happen. It's just as good at this as VideoGameCaringPotential.

This troper is too busy shooting the legs and arms of soldiers in ''[=MGS3=]'' to read the above examples. Although as soon as he accidently shoots a dog, he goes into extreme guilt.

Sometimes while playing ''{{Mass Effect}}'', this troper will let his party members get killed on purpose while staying out of the way.

I don't know if it counts, but I like to do all kinds of things on Dating Sim visual novels, including acting so promiscuous it would make Makoto look like an innocent little boy. I don't know what it is, but I like deconstructing the characters and leaving them sobbing wrecks.

''SplinterCell: Chaos Theory''. Japanese bath house level. Sneak up behind someone, grab them, then render them unconscious. Then hide the body in the water.

This troper got his warthog stuck on the edge of a cliff in ''{{Halo}}'' but managed to escape. The thing was left teetering on the edge of the cliff and there was still a soldier on the mounted gun. I punch the car several times and then it finally tipped over the edge, falling into the abyss with the soldier screaming as he falls.

This troper has a raging hate-on for Scotland in ''Medieval II: Total War'' (and in real life, to an extent). It doesn't matter if I'm playing as the Egyptians or Turks, SCOTLAND MUST DIE. If I'm playing as England, I'll keep them around just to slaughter their armies. Occasionally I'll declare peace, give them large amounts of money so that they can build up their armies, then slaughter those armies to the last man. I'll get my spies infected with the plague, then spread it to their cities. Even their princesses are not safe from my assassins' blades. The Britannia Campaign in the Kingdoms expansion pack was an added bonus, as I now had the Welsh to beat up on, along with the Scots.

This troper, on the other hand, ''loves'' Scotland, if only for their ''insane'' infantry charges. A wave of maybe a thousand or two of Highlanders rolling down a hill is so deeply satisfying. That being said, I prefer to kill my enemies with siege equipment. Slowly. Steadily. With fire, if possible. Smashing the enemy with Highlanders after demoralizing them with constant siege barrages is very... cathartic. Not to mention my hate-rage for Milan, so much so that I ended up smashing through all of France ''just'' to get at Milan.

This troper makes a point of always destroying France as soon a possible in ''Empire: Total War''. Even if I'm playing as the (Indian) Maratha Confederacy. I think it may have something to do with my first campaign, as Britain. (Also, I agree: Milan in Medieval 2 is a total prick).

For @/MmmKay, I used to play the old ''Catz'' game (back when it was all 2D and stuff) and I'd just spray water all over my catz for no reason, also throwing them around like ragdolls, listening to their pained shrieks. "This is not 'torture-a-cat' game." my mother said to me. Really, I cry when my Sims die, I'm not a monster... really... [-really?-]

Speaking of torture-a-cat games... this

@/AXavierB relishes FPS games that allow friendly fire. In the ''Halo'' games, he kills his men if they inconvenience him. Once, this troper took the passenger seat in a Warthog and let one of his NPC soldiers take the wheel. Said soldier drove around in circles for about five minutes. Guess what happened~?

''L4D2'', getting into a mild saferoom and keep the bots down and watch them slowly die. >:)

@/{{Crion87}} usually plays ''Fallout 3'' as a heroic character (as much as one can be in a Zeerust AfterTheEnd CrapsackWorld full of BlackAndGreyMorality), but to invoke this trope, he rolled up a character called Markus John. In the game, as Markus John, he first breaks into a ranch and kills Silver. Then, after going to Colin Moriarty's saloon in Megaton, after he fails to get information on James for free, Markus John kills Colin Moriarty by shooting him in the head. As he leaves, he stops by Mr. Burke, gets the Fusion Pulse Charge, and after some awesome jumping on rooftops of Megaton, he rigs the nuke in the centre of the town to explode. Getting run out of town by Lucas Simms, Markus makes his way to Tenpenny Tower, and presses the remote detonator's button. That's not all this troper has planned for the evil depravations of Markus John...

Raekuul has modded his ''DungeonKeeper 1'' so that Imps are free to summon and don't run from battle... but also only have 1 hit point. I'm not sure which is more amusing, the fact that the imps try to win, or that the enemies can't...

@/{{Trayzark}} was bored one day and decided to do an experiment in ''{{Worms}} Armageddon''. I started a game with 48 worms (6 teams, 8 worms each) on a landscape composed only of small platforms. On the very first turn, I activated the Earthquake weapon and watched everyone tumble down to the bottom and drown. One time, when I did this, exactly one worm somehow survived, which I found rather amusing.

I ''could'' try to complete all the levels in ''{{Scribblenauts}}''... or I could dig a pit, put a shark wielding a laser inside, and drop some innocent people in. It never gets old.

Oh, Lord, Scribblenauts has turned This Troper into one sick chick. I ALWAYS play Lawful Good characters, and then THIS comes out... and suddenly I'm using soft, warm things to trip off landmines and giggling madly. Not to mention plopping down a wall and getting a good "last man standing" battle going for fun. It's all 5thCell's fault. Really.

Ah, the fun of Scribblenauts. This troper loves watching "Zombies vs. Improbably Well Equipped Hobos"- it's not a question of who will win, but how long the last hobo can keep up his chainsaw rampage.

Speaking of Scribblenauts, @/{{TheSuperhero}} did this and doesn't feel bad. He later did the same situation, but with Death instead of the meat. Did I mention Death was also chained up, neglecting his kill? Muhahaha!

In the training stage of ''TombRaider II'' (set in Lara's mansion) her butler follows you around everywhere, which gets incredibly annoying after a while. The solution? Lock him in the walk-in fridge! After doing this I always drowned Lara in the pool to remove any hope of rescue for the irritating old fart. And two weeks later the police find the chlorine-soaked decomposing body of a grave robber with unfeasibly large knockers, and the body of a geriatric huddled over for warmth after gnawing at his own ankles in a vain attempt to stay alive.

My number one most favorite activity in ''{{Crackdown}}'' is climbing into the back of a pickup truck, crouching down, and allowing the driver to chauffeur me around the city while I shoot out other vehicles' tires with an assault rifle. It's especially rewarding on the freeway: losing a tire at high speeds can cause a car to go flying, and the guardrails are ''very'' low.

Getting 4 stars on driving skill turns the Agency sportscar into the Batmobile. With ''machine guns''. This editor's nephews don't bother doing missions any more, they just drive around at full pelt, guns blazing and flipping cars.

I REALLY hate Brucie from GTA IV, and while I've gotten 50% through the game, I haven't completed the No. 1 racing mission, because it's just too much fun to pick him up, drive him back to my place in Algonquin instead of getting the car, and shooting him and beating him to death. Or taking the highway onto the stunt jump and watching him fall off the back of the bike screaming "FUCKKKK YOUUUUU!"

This troper found the indignant, hurt, occasionally lost commentary from Omochao in ''Sonic Adventure 2'' when you kicked him or threw him in a pit rather amusing. She also enjoyed throwing and kicking around the sweet, innocent little chaos in the Chao Garden because they're just so ''cute'' when they cry.

Same here! I don't have a game that lets me beat on Omochao, but I do have ''SonicAdventure DX'' and have attacked innocent children on the street, and abused a chao that was a particularly ugly shade of green (and gave it a name that consists of unpronounceable characters). And then grinned when it started to cry. And I only feed it just enough to make sure that it won't die as early as if it would as if I never did anything vaguely nice to it, so that I can prolong the abuse. I knock it away from the fruit every few seconds, give the fruit back to it, and repeat. And sometimes tease the little thing with food that I don't let it have. I'd never do this to a real animal! Honest! I'm not a psycho!

Update from the second Chao-abuse Troper: There are 3 Chao in the Station Square Garden, which I only use for Chao I want to breed together or young ones, and I've given up on breeding for now. A newly-hatched purple one named "Coolkin", a yellow swimming one with an apple hat named "Z-T!" and formerly (until the purple one hatched) nicknamed "apple of my eye", and the aforementioned sickly green one named "~+*&%#~" and nicknamed "Greeny". The name Coolkin was meant to imply that she was my favourite (and she is, because I like purple), and that the other two shared the role of TheUnfavourite. However, although I'm not entirely kind to Z-T!, ~+*&%#~ is TheUnfavourite. He even actively cries whenever I'm not busy harming/feeding/holding/shaking him, and runs away from whichever character I'm using! Also, I wake him back up whenever I see him sleeping.

@/{{Sus}} discovered his inner monster during the good ol' Amiga days, and has gone on and on and on since then...

''Syndicate'', especially the mission where you're supposed to snipe a former employee starting his own business, was hours of fun because of the cruelty potential... "Sniper rifle? Those are for pussies!" *shoots former employee with rocket launcher, setting him and the civilians around him on fire* *cue mad giggling*

Another perennial favorite was the flame thrower, especially large crowds of civvies just to set them on fire...

Also, exploding trains. Like, for example, after using a train to get my agents to the objective, leaving a primed time bomb on board just {{ForTheEvulz}}. And there was much rejoicing.

Likewise, in ''X-Com Apocalyps''e, raiding a Temple of Sirius (or any other building, if feeling particularly vicious), setting the place on fire and watching (and listening to) the opposition burn to death... Glee! Also, detonating the Hell out of the alien buildings.

Jedi Knight: Aside from the obvious "stick the timed explosive on the civilian"-type antics, this troper discovered that you could also run into civilians and push them off a ledge - with zero point drop on the KarmaMeter! Yes, while shooting or beating up people (or gonk droids) is Bad, pushing them off a cliff seems to sit just fine with the forces of good. (The gonk droid is fiendishly hard to corner, though.)

''Grand Theft Auto''. Car bombs. Rocket launcher. Boom. One of my favorite things to do was just to try to kill as many people and blow up as many cars as I could before the cops got me.

Lemmings. One of the most cathartic things in a videogame ever was the "Armageddon" button. Let's just say that by the time I got thoroughly fustrated with the green-haired morons happily strolling off a bridge one pixel too short, the "RocksFallEveryoneDies" option saw repeated use.

''Baldur's Gate'': killing Noober (Who ''hasn't'' done that, really?) or some of the recruitable NPC's were some of the ''less'' egregious examples.

getting intentionally waylaid by bandits just so I could kill them off and sell their scalps.

Gibberlings, meet fireball.

Although the game expects you to join one of the NPC bandit groups to get to the bandit lair, it '''is''' possible to just slaughter all of them and find the lair on your own.

killing everybody in the Undercellar or the Low Lantern... come to think about it, killing the beggars in the cities as well.

''HalfLife'': whacking the friendly scientists over the head with a crowbar, intentionally leading one of them to a malfunctioning retina scanner to die, generally wreaking havoc with grenades... Good times.

''HalfLife2'': The best thing, the ''very best thing'' about [=HL2=] is that the player can toss [=TVs=] through windows, smack people on the head with broken bottles, blow up watermelons and generally behave like a rock star on PCP.

Exploding barrels. Oh, exploding barrels, how I love thee!

In an unusual display of cruelty against the player character, this troper spent quite some time tossing a car battery n the air with the gravity gun and trying to position Gordon under it when it came down. Yeah, it works. "* crunch!* Minor fracture detected."

Ravenholm is the funniest FPS level ''ever''. Burn, poison zombie, burn!

Setting the Combine on fire, nailing them on the walls with the crossbow or running them over with the scout car was great fun as well. Especially at the house where the two combines behind a board fence are burning infectee corpses... There's a great deal of sadistic joy in imagining them go "what the.." just before my car crashes through the fence and slams them against the side of the house.

Car-bowling with the gravity gun and especially the electromagnet crane is great fun, too. Not to mention shipping-container-fu against the poor fools to come out of the harbor magazine. Yet on to-do-list: try and see if it's possible to roll a container ''into'' the building.

While it is mostly impossible to kill civilians in unmodified HL 2, I found out that the vortigaunt in the basement of New Little Odessa ''can'' be killed by toppling a filing cabinet on it.

In ''MetalGearSolid 3'', in the fight with The Fear, this troper enjoys reducing his stamina and throwing him rotten food. When he tries to eat it, he gets sick.

This troper enjoys the liberal applications of incendiary devices in ''FarCry 2'', but one of the most effective ways to take down a large enemy base from distance is to whip out an SVD and shoot a guy standing in the open in the gut. Then, wait as the guy cries for help in agony. When one of his comrade comes to help him, shoot him in the gut too. Repeat ''ad nauseam'' until the base is cleared. If only you can burn a living animal and watch it runs into an enemy base...

A relatively unknown game, ''HellMOO'' allows for some of the most creative murder and cruelty in gaming history against both actual players and [=NPCs=]. All in text mind you (still immensly satisfying though):

Stashing plutonium rods in places in order to radiate passing players

Refilling drinks with bleach and giving them to people

cooking poisoned food and giving it to hungry [=NPCs=] or players

Butchering a zombie and causing a zombie apocalypse by leaving the meat on the street for stray dogs

Shoving players down stairs

Actual rape. As in forced sex. Can be done against anybody you want.

Arming a grenade and handing it to a player who carelessly allows gifts from all

With the correct mutations and a junkable bag you can literally eat your enemies' expensive gear. Though you're better off selling it off quickly to someone tougher than you.

and SO MUCH MORE. I have done everything written above.

In ''{{Marvel VS Capcom}}'' when I pick practice mode I like to use lots of very painful skills on characters I don't like.

I agree. There's something cathartic about beating the shit out of people you don't like with an excruciatingly painful move in a fighting game, especially things like {{MUGEN}}. In ''KingOfFighters Maximum Impact 2'', Fio has a super where she combos you, machine guns you and then finishes your airborne body off with a well thrown axe. This, plus Lien's neckbreak special are the sort of things I love doing. Sometimes I even do it to characters I like. I find it really refreshing to instead direct the aforementioned moves to guys like Geese or Yuri. I REALLY get a kick out of going into Practice mode just to beat up Mignon, whom I hate because she NEVER. SHUTS. UP.

Lately I gotten over my hatred for the three characters in Marvel VS Capcom but... Now I do it to VEGA for example. Same rule applies though use all the painful moves on characters I can't stand, laugh as they scream their lungs out

This editor used to have a fascination with spamming Gato's neck breaker on characters that rubbed me the wrong way. But since I discovered ''{{MUGEN}}'' I can now fatality pretty much any character of my choosing. Life is good!

This troper has been known to call in artillery strikes on medics in ''Company of Heroes''.

Admirable, but unimpressive. This troper was fighting the Wehrmacht and found an aid bunker they'd built. I had an engineer plant demo charges on it, and waited for a squad of Volksgrenadiers to take refuge therein before pressing the button. Medics, reservists, and bunker all go up in a cloud of concrete dust. That's a special case of the more standard tactic, putting demo charges on bridges and in buildings dudes are going to hide in. Enemy tries to attack across a bridge? Hide in a building? Boom!

This troper found out that if you tweak a jump pad in the Galactic Adventures expansion for ''{{Spore}}'' just the right way, you can actually get a creature to orbit a planet several times. In an eccentric orbit. So when you think they're going to land because they're getting closer to the ground, they usually just keep on flying. They even leave the planet's atmosphere sometimes! Then there's the fact that when trying to make a whale-like creature, this troper noticed it was swimming odd in the test play mode, so I dropped the water level so it was on land (the planet was supposed to be an ocean planet.), and it was floating through the air, twitching and looking like someone was trying to pull its spine out through it's throat. It made me giggle. And in the space phase, if you throw things hard enough with the tractor beam, they actually orbit the planet in about a second. Doing this to creatures is funny because of the fact they die when they hit the ground.

This troper was recently playing ''Fallout 3'' and had an extremely good character by the time "The Waters of Life" was over. The character was being followed by Star Paladin Cross (to the uninitiated, this NPC won't even give you the time of day if you're below the maximum level of karma). So, I went back to Megaton and got the radio signal to start "Trouble on the Homefront" which I then started doing. Long story short, I got lost in the vault and wound up at the Overseer's office. I convinced him he was wrong and to turn over the vault to someone else. He decided his daughter was a good choice and ran off to tell her. On my way to find her, I got "lost" again and wound up in the reactor area. I manually purged the air in the vault. The old overseer didn't like that one bit and ran up to me, accusing me of doing it. I told him one of the rebels did it. He believed me. On my way out of the vault, Amata ran up to me and asked what happened. I blamed it on the Overseer. She believed me. The whole time, Star Paladin Cross said nothing against this. (This NPC will leave you if you do even one bad deed in her presence.)

While playing ''Fallout 3'', this troper attacked Tenpenny Tower, slaughtering everybody in it with nothing but the Atomic Pulverizer, a Gatling Laser, a few Plasma Grenades, and a 5mm pistol.

I did something similar, but all I used was a Shishkebab. I then proceeded to do the same to all people in Megaton and Rivet City.

This troper once had a pretty sick idea about ''Fallout 3''. All you have to do is to kill at least eight innocent people, then you form a swastika with their bodies. Then, you take out a melee weapon and hack them to pieces. Interestingly, if done to neutral characters, your karma shouldn't go below "neutral" if you were good before. Another version involves killing two people and form the swastika with their legs and arms. As mentioned, this was just an idea and this troper usually plays good guys in [=RPG=]s.

WWE games are particularly fun for this. Use the creation modes to create ANYONE you don't like, then fight them in no-DQ matches and bludgeon them with your weapons of choice.

Theold + A whole slew of enemies=fun times for all. Except Theold.

This troper was spectacularly cruel while playing ''Rollercoaster Tycoon''. Rides that shot off into nowhere at high speed, tiny islands in the middle of the lake where people who vomited would be exiled, drowning failed entertainers and litterers... and of course, closing the park gates so no one could leave.

''ThemePark'' was a lot of fun too, for those of us who went that route. My personal favourites were the roller-coasters. They'd start out full, and it's the most exciting ride. They return empty while disgruntled little people wander back in from the far corners of the lot.

Wait, I didn't know my little sister was a troper!

My personal favorite form of sadism is to put only ONE restroom in the far corner of the park, and charge the participants 10 cents to use. And I'm not going to put up those information desks, if they want to empty their innards, they're going to have to hoof it.

Am I the only one who would subdue a civilian in the first ''{{Mercenaries}}'' game, take careful aim, wait for it to whimper sadly... and then gun it down? (I also do it to enemy soldiers, but this is so much more wrong.)

In the demo, this troper would forget about the base he was supposed to be attacking, blow up a bridge down the road, then watch as civilian after stupid civilian drove into the water below, eventually piling up into an island of cars and trucks with several survivors stranded on top.

''FinalFantasyTactics''. Level and job point grinding. Surround an enemy who's got so many status ailments inflicted by you that it takes two minutes for the list to cycle. Fun for the whole family!

In ''Medal of Honor: Frontline'', there was seemingly no cap on ammo for the M1 Garand, where every other gun would have a maximum amount you could carry. To try and figure out how much was possible to have at once, this troper killed every one of the allied soldiers who carried M1 Garands. It is not something he looks back on with pride.

In ''Swat 4'', looking under a door into a small janitor's closet revealed a terrorist. This troper then used a wedge to lock him in, proceeded to save hostages, arrest and kill other terrorists, go have something to eat, then loop back through the level. That terrorist was locked in a closet for an hour or so before the Swat members finally returned to plant C4 on the door and bludgeoned him into the closet wall with it.

This troper perhaps got a little too ''much'' pleasure in beating the ever-loving '''snot''' of those silly mushroom-like enemies in the first level of the game ''Vexx''. Along with cackling evilly as she hit them with rapid-fire punches followed up with a powerful finisher, she loved to toss them off ledges to see what would happen. She never got very far in the game because those stupid things were too fun to torture.

During the early parts of ''AssassinsCreed'', this one likes to spontaneously punch people in the mouth and, for added hilarity, tackle the shit out of everyone he comes across. Becomes doubly hilarious when doing it while Ezio's mother lectures him about being too reckless and fight prone.

This troper, when sufficiently irritated by crazy men or beggar women, likes to grab them and slam them face first into the wall. Doesn't hurt them, but incredibly satisfying nonetheless

This troper had a marvellous time killing sims on, well, the ''Sims 2'', using the cow plant. I killed about 11 people in the space of 30 minutes :)

This troper generally plays a more caring type, but when playing ''Red Dead Redemption'' I have a real hatred of horse thieves. So one day I was out riding in the middle of nowhere when I came across a woman in her underwear, politely asking for a ride back to town. Always the gentleman, I stopped. Then she pulled me off the horse, got on it and galloped away. But I whistled for my trusty steed, which threw her off and returned to me. I got on and chased after her. Once in range I lassoed her and pulled her back to the road. On the way she hit several cacti (and I remind you, she was in her underwear). Once back on the road I tied her up and threatened to shoot her (I tend to role-play), before loading her up on my horse and rode to the nearest rail-line, where she was laid on the tracks. She had to wait several minutes before the train came...

In ''Batman Arkham Asylum'' this troper had fun knocking down enemies with the Bat-claw and then setting explosive gel all around him to see how high the guy bounces.

''{{Fallout}} 3'' : This game really brings out the worst in people, doesn't it?: I made it my personal mission to enslave every single character in the Wasteland who is physically able. I depopulated Megaton AND Rivet City by ducking into unused rooms and waiting for 3 days (after which, all is forgiven). After enslaving the cities, I turned my attention to the Wastelanders, enslaving every Raider I came across. For extra abuse, I would steal their clothes first so they'd have to sprint across the Wasteland nearly nude. My "lowest" moment came when you meet the escaped sex slave in the Temple of the Union. After she finished her sob story -> *ZAP* -> collared -> "Off you go, hon."

ShadowOfRome. SO sadistic, and you get REWARDED.

This troper had many a maniacal laugh while preying on Deidrianna's mooks in JA2. Punching them off buildings is an all-time favorite, but the crowbar-to-the-legs-plus-mustard-gas-to-the-face combination has proved worthy in its own right — bonus points for stealing the gas mask beforehand.

This troper got Sims 3 for Christmas 6 months ago, and has currently has:

Caused over 28 people to die of neglect,

Has killed any sim who tries to leave the house,

Purposely created torture rooms for babies of teenage mothers, only for their parents to discover their graves,

Put misbehaving children outside and then removing the doors,

And worst of all, killing each baby ever born by a sim I thought was TheScrappy by locking them in the bathrooms, removing all doors, causing the newborns to lose any contact it has with their parents, and leaving them to die in their own filth.

Yes, I am a crazy bastard.

I enjoy sacrificing babies to Cthulu, randmly killing people and making normally peaceful creatures fight to the death in ScribbleNauts .

The old point-and-click adventure game ''StarTrek25thAnniversary'' offers many, ''many'' delightful ways to get your landing party's RedShirt brutally killed. For example: the first mission, we're in a cave and come upon a door blocked by rubble. Spock scans the rubble and tells you that you can blast it out of the way with your phasers... if you're careful and you shoot the rocks in the right order. I was not careful. RedShirt got splatted by a boulder the size of a minivan. Over, and over, and ''over''. >:) Another mission, there's a group of Romulans holed up in a room accessible by a ladder. You can force anyone in your party to climb down the ladder. '''ZAP.'''

This troper is the cruelest Civ player he knows. One time, he destroyed an entire contient of cities, just so that the unsettled land would spawn endless barbarians, which he used as a training ground for his soldiers.

In ''Oblivion'', this troper has completed the quest "Goblin Trouble" by stealing the totem. I've left it in Border Watch (where every inhabitant has a weapon) to see how long they last against constant Goblin attacks.

This sort-of pales in comparison with the rest, but whenever I play Pokemon, I always name my rival Assface.

Red Dead Redemption, I'm always pushing people around, lassoing them, letting them go, then re-lassoing them. This is not all I do, friends. In the mission Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child, after I get Jack away from the bear, I move him AWAY from the ranch, shoot the horse to make him walk with me...while I lodge fire bottles and dynamite at him while saying: "This is your Survival Test, cadet! Let's see you dodge these!" Yeah, I'm evil. XD

In ''Majora's Mask'', I like to humiliate Link by making him wear the Pig's Mask (That makes him bend down to sniff) and always position him directly behind someone. IfYouKnowWhatIMean.

In ''Fallout 3'', when you escape the Vault, I always kill the Overseer, drag him to Amata and dismember him in front of her, placing his head and limbs on the table.

In all the games I play, I love to make the playable character do absolutely stupid things of which there is no way of getting out without extreme injury and/or death. Naturally, I make them do it.

In ''Oblivion'', I always find the need to make sure both Martin and Capt. Mattius are the last two Kvatch survivors in the game after I'm done with the others. Try rebuilding now, boys!! :D

In ''Civilization: Beyond the Sword'', I always enter the cheat menu and give myself nukes, tanks, and other 21st-century weapons and soldiers when the time period is anywhere from 10,000 BC-1850 AD.

''Red Dead Redemption'' again. I seem to like having Marston get hit by a train (not head-on, though), tumble off cliffs, fist-fight cougars and bears, jump off of buildings, hold dynamites until it blows up in his hand, light him on fire...the list goes on.

This Troper has played a little Call of Duty 2 on his cousin's 360 before he sold it for drugs (long story), and the one tutorial involving grenade tossing, but with potatoes...to put it simply, I would throw the potato at my mentor, causing the mission to fail. Just that "thunk" and "you fail" message popping up got me in stitches.

In ''Oblivion'', I always go out of my way to exterminate the Orcish race in Cyrodill. One day, I want to do this with an Orcish character so I can roleplay that (s)he's the LastOfHisKind.

I once, just for the hell of it, made myself a ''DwarfFortress'' GameMod where my dorfs didn't need to eat, drink, or sleep and smelters could spew out star sapphires, coal, and adamantine for free. I then used Dwarf Companion to make all my little peons legendary in just about every skill, tame everything on the map, and, once the catsplosion got started, turn the kittens into dragons. After that, I started covering the entire map with weapon traps full of masterpiece large serrated adamantine discs. Then I waited for the next elven trade caravan. When they showed up, they quickly found themselves on the wrong end of a battery of three ballistas that reduced them to a bloody smear. The other elves were outraged, and started sending in war parties for revenge. The results were predictable and I laughed myself sick. After the elf bits stopped raining down, I had my dorfs go out and collect them. Then I carved out a trophy hallway full of beautifully engraved alcoves and installed a jewel-encrusted elf skull totem in each one. The next step, obviously, will be to make all visiting merchants walk through it to get to the Trade Depot.

In Myth II: Soulblighter, it's possible to kill the wildlife with thrown explosives - watching the pieces of helpless animals fall provided many hours of entertainment. (You can also, by aim and luck, kill the hawks with arrows.) While you get yelled at in-game for doing this on the tutorial level, this troper set out of his way to murder everything on the map he possibly could. Fun fact: there's a mini map where you get attacked by exploding deer. Pretty sure I found this by campaigning to destroy the local ecosystem.

Neverwinter Nights, that game is truly an entertaining way to relieve stress. Let's see, there was my high level cleric, when I decided to go on a killing spree and off all non-essential characters. Let's just say that Neverwinter was a very very quiet city when I left. Unfortunately, the sequel won't allow that. I believe that this sort of activity started with Deus Ex and Hong-Kong... In fact, I'm fond of depopulating games.

Here's a tip: If you're driving around in a tank in {{Prototype}}, running over people, and the words "They're just like ants" come out of your mouth, put the controller down for a minute and think about what you did.

*looks down in shame* Normally I'm a caring person, like with the ''Fable'' games, but.... the achievement for running over 500 people was so tempting! And I was I unhappy at the loss of my powers! On a side note, I got the kill 50 characters in 5 seconds by using my ''SHIELD''. I also have killed many a marine or Blackwatch officer for their weapons and clothes, abilities or tanks/gunships. Sometimes for just for just pushing me(after I pushed them) ''Or'' for the lulz, like with Patsy.

This Troper's boyfriend has introduced her to video games- the one that comes to mind is Just Cause 2. "Hey, what are you shooting at?" "People." "... Those are civilians." "Yeah, if I shoot at the army they shoot back." Also notable is how I grapple cars, steal them, and drive them straight into the sea with their owners watching. Or the one time I angered the military, so I stole their boat, and shot at the driver again and again. (Also I keep "accidentally" confusing the grapple and explosive buttons. "Ooh, nice car! *BLAM* Oops.)

This troper with certain games. In Driv3r she liked to run over the people or shoot them (originally to left off steam but then it became fun... I know, I'm sadistic). But one example that definitely sticks out is Halo CE in the level The Silent Cartographer. After beating up all the Elites and Grunts, this troper and her brother often like to take the Warthog and run over their human allies. *shrugs*

Tropers/TheNoun is a totally horrible person in ''SurvivalCrisisZ''. Her character, Ashley (loosely based on a real friend of this troper) pushed drugs on three different house leaders, blew up six more, electrically tortured several others, and eventually gained control of the entire city. She wantonly shot (and, once she obtained a flamethrower, burned) everything she saw, whether is be zombie, SWAT, rebel or civilian. Her favorite sport was "Zombie Head Soccer". She did work for different factions on different days, and more than once started huge street battles by luring groups of [=SWATs=] towards groups of rebels and letting them duke it out. If she didn't like one of her party members, she set up situations where they would run out of ammo and get mobbed to death but she would still survive. Once she earned the cheats menu in arcade mode, all hell broke loose.

Suprisingly, This Troper managed this in Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne. I loaded up the Icecrown map and then made it my mission to kill every living thing upon it. I started with the oppostion, and crushed them under an unending wave of Mortar-teams, shortly before instructing said mortars to shoot each other to death. I then sent out a Blood Mage to incinerate every creep on the map, while requisitioning hundreds of peasants to mine out or cut down every resource on the map, sparing nothing. Finally, I constructed a series of cannon towers, got them all to shell the same spot, and then fed my peasants into the crucible until all was gibbed...Then I threw my heroes in there too just for giggles.

(Calling my Archmage “wizard Hitler” probably didn’t help matters, although I did end up calling the blood mage “Ensby”)

In World at War this troper doesn't mind shooting nazis when their lying on the ground or trying to surrender.

This troper had one while playing Oni. After getting supplies from the civilians, I killed them with a backbreaker. Led to a MyGodWhatHaveIDone when I thought back on it later.

SyphonFilter encourages you to kill opponents in certain conditions to unlock more weapons. By using darts(gas,explosive,shock), knife, taser, or environment kills.

This troper views the use of dozens of nuclear weapons in Civ 5 as an appropriate response to complaints about buying up land near the AI's borders.

In RedDeadRedemption, this troper regularly tips hogtied people over cliffsides and into lakes. Usually after kneecapping them.

This troper spends most of her time playing {{Fable}}2 by gathering up all of the whores in Bloodstone, then my own child, and proceed to do things, forcing the child to watch and forever killing their innocence. Then I'd force them to follow me again, and kill their mother with them watching.

''TheSims'' really ''is'' filled with Video Game Cruelty Potential. This troper forced her sims to have a child. She then raised that child, with just enough care so the child services bitch wouldn't come and teleport it away. It grew up to be a boy. Unfortunately for him, he was born with clown face make up. This troper giggled for hours remembering his incredibly girly screams as she burned him to death.

In TheSims 3 for the XBOX360 I got one of my Sims to die repeatedly for the Kenny Mccormick effect, and is hoping for the other two (I have six) to hook up, get married, leave, have 6 children (Not sure how much you can actually get) named (Some of the names re tribute to other characters) Craig, Amber, Clyde, Kenny, Chris, Jo, Missy have the two break up and have sex with the whole town with kids named Flynn, Lilly, Stan, Kyle, Robin, Lina before killing them off (for the guy case...

This Troper is currently playing through FinalFantasyThe4HeroesOfLight, and has been assigned a temporary party member (a cute little talking mouse, as it happens). Knowing that they have a tendency to leave and take their equipment with them, and since my two core party members are more than capable of managing on their own, I just took all the mouse's stuff away and let him die, so he's just a sad little ghost following the others around. The worst part? I'm also using him to carry the VendorTrash I find in the meantime, including a bunch of ''Phoenix Downs''.

In Jak 2 this tropette liked to engage in a game known as pedestrian bowling by getting on a zoomer, going top speed towards a crowd of civillians and then jumping off at the last second and watching as the zoomer smashed into the civillians.

Hehehe, I did this in Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. I built a tall bridge, waited until lots of people got on it, and then I deleted the way up to it so they couldn't get away. Then, I put water under it, and removed the bridge one piece at a time and watched them fall down to their wet death. Mweheheee.

This troper sometimes plays around with [=NPCs=] in Ascii Sector. Heck, anything'll do. Paralyze a person and then kick the snot out of him, shoot him in the throat with a laser rifle, destroy them limb by limb... the list goes on.

I got extremely creative with clan battles and easy missions in FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance. I would sometimes immobilize and disarm the last standing enemy, poison them, and then watch them slowly die. For some clan battles I would kill every opponent but the archers, and then have all my units stand in a line and be killed. In other battles I did civil wars and assisted suicide.

This troper has the World Adventures expansion pack for Sims 3. Trap abuse ensued. I made a lot specifically for burning Sims alive. I also made it a hangout so that Sims will actually go there. It consists of a building whose walls are entirely made out of windows with a floor covered in fire traps. near the building, there is a wall with 3 torch levers on it. One locks the door, another turns on the traps, and last one resets the whole system. They won't die, though. I should try making a house covered in secret hidden fire traps, or one that will lock you inside with several mummies. Or maybe even kill off the entire police force and delete the building. Do you think I should delete all the doors in town except the one on my Sim's house? Or delete every business, leaving everybody unemployed, while using cheats to keep my Sim healthy and rich? How about isolating everybody in town in small rooms, leaving them to starve? Decisions,decisions!

This troper is a kind girl who would never hurt a fly and who everyone either loves to chat to, loves to get hugged by or loves to tease... or at least, I am in RealLife. In video games? I swing between a BigGood and a CompleteMonster. I shall list the latter.

''Petz5'': My favourite thing to do on this is to go on a room with mouseholes. Then, I get out a large quantity of cheese. I open the mouseholes, and let a mouse come out. I quickly ''close the mouseholes'' and let a couple of Catz in. HilarityEnsues!

''Pokemon'': Mostly, I'm a BigGood... except for when I get out my level eighty-something Mewtwo and go into Viridian Forest. Did I mention that my Mewtwo knows Flamethrower? I suppose that shiny Mr. Mime in the Safari Zone was revenge for that...

''EvilGenius'': Only ever got the trial version, but my favourite thing to do was to set all enemies to "capture", throw them in the cells, and use them for target practice.

''TheSims'': I once made a family for the express purpose of killing them. In the original, I used the potion-maker-thingy to make a bunch of potions and used them for fun. One Sim, who was married, fell in love with a woman who was ALSO married. She then fell in love with him via potions. I then moved the two families in together and had the cheating Sims ''kill their spouses''. It gets worse. The female cheat had a child, who SAW HIS DAD DIE. I proceeded to torture the kid, make him drop grades, have his mother delay feeding him for Woo Hoo, and basically screwed him up. That kid then went for a swim in the pool, which had a diving board but no ladder, which was ''totally unintentional'' on my part - I'd actually forgotten to put the ladder in. The kid ''committed suicide''.

''RabbidsGoHome'': The Wii Remote Rabbid customisation. Sweet Lord, the ''customisation''. I have an army of mutant Rabbids!

''SuperSmashBrosBrawl'': Is it just me, or are Link's death screams too hilarious to miss?

''ZooTycoon'': Yes, I'm another troper who enjoys letting the ''T. rexes'' run free. Also, I discovered something fun. ''The herbivores will eat people.'' Also, in Zoo Tycoon Two, it's possible to make a zoo where all of the animals roam free from the beginning. I leave it as an exercise for my fellow sadists to find all of the ways to exploit that. My favourite is 50+ zebra, 20 lions, and the money cheat.

In Super Mario 64 DS, in the "Cool, Cool Mountain" stage, I threw the baby penguins off the cliff- in the case of one of them, right in front of its mom(or dad? I can't tell). >:3 It was so wrong, but also so fun.

This troper once played Expert Mode in Star Fox 64. Someone crashed into him, throwing him into a nerd rage. He decided to restart the level and shoot down anyone that crashed into him, including his wingmates.

This troper was playing Birth By Sleep and was playing on the Skull Rock Command Board, Captain Hook and Aqua were about tied for GP, with a few thousand to go until one of us could win. Cue Aqua landing on a pixie dust panel and teleporting Captain Hook to the most expensive panels (about 2000GP each, while the lowest limit for a quick game is 5000GP). Even worse, I stunned Captain Hook enough times to complete half a lap without him moving and landed on another pixie dust panel, allowing me to dump him on ANOTHER panel with a high toll. BWAHAHA!

I love this. In Driving games, I will run people over for no reason other than they are infront of me. If I have a shotgun, I'll blast them away. In assassins creed, I will stab innocents just because they are there. The higher penalties or less potential to do this, the less fun.

Oh, ''ZooTycoon''. I could wax lyrical about this game!

"The Great Herbivore Experiment": Stegosaurs eat people! Seriously, they do!

"Labyrinth": ''T.rexes'' + ArtificialStupidity + A bored TeenGenius + cheat codes + electric fences = MassOhCrap and HilarityEnsues combined.

"Learn To Swim": It turns out that pools with blocked exits are great fun. Especially if the hapless visitors whom you drop in are with the killer whales!

"Lions, Tigers And Bears - OhCrap!": I made all of my visitors go through hell by having to work their way through a bunch of exibits, mostly lions, tigers and bears.

"JurassicPark Mk. 2": Warring packs of velociraptors. Which were kept away from each other... until they escaped. They then figured out that, if they worked together, they could eat more people.

"I'm Invisible!": The invisible fence download, as it turns out, produces an invisible door which ''people can't exit through''. Oh dear.

In ''StarTrekStarfleetCommand'' this troper takes a special delight in disabling an enemy starship's engines, and ''ever so gently'' nudging them with the tractor beam into the event horizon of the nearest black hole. ''Kaboom.''

Even more fun, setting your phasers to disable weapons, then disabling all systems with boarding parties. I personally prefer to play drone cruisers. I believe it was a grand total of 4 MIRV missiles and a pair of scatterpack shuttles, which comes out to over 30 missiles... directly into an open shield... That made up for the two X-cruisers that I had to take out in that mission.

I've done this so much that my parents are worried about me...In the Sims 2, Veronaville is in the middle of a civil war, in Strangetown all aliens are being hunted down and in Pleasantview the weather is improving...I need help.

When this troper played 'Jurassic Park III: Park Builder' on the Gameboy Advanced, what did she do with any aquatic creatures that spawned in the lab? Oh, tossed them to the 'Class 3 Carnivore' pen. It was their fault for having such short lifespans anyway :D

During the very first mission of ''FreeSpace'' you're on patrol with another pilot named Lt. Harbison protecting a disabled cruiser. The game makes somewhat of a deal of his being a seasoned pilot who knows his stuff. Wouldn't it be an awful shame if he were killed... Of course, directly firing on a friendly ship repeatedly gets you court-martialled, and the mission is so easy that it's pretty much impossible for the other pilot to get killed in the normal way. So, this troper first makes sure that Haribson's hull strength is below his, usually be firing a few shots to drop it (you can get away with a few shots before tripping the "Traitor" switch). He then rams the other ship repeatedly, shaving off the hitpoints until the other ship reaches zero. For such a prestigous career to come to such an end...mwah hah hah hah hah...

''Scarface: The World Is Yours''. Long story short, in the first level you're in your office with unlimited ammo and your sister's body. Moving it about the room with gunfire is possible.

The game also has much, much more potential. Tony Montana will not kill civillains. But his henchmen will. Just walk into that theatre or hotel and kill all the customers. Decapitate the fried-chicken loving Mexican wrestler commonly seen around town. And the auto-aiming tank-truck driven by a henchman? Will just leave dozens of corpses if you go mad in a crowded section of town.

A required game mission has Tony being chased by cops. Following the appropiate path to escape, the cops will all fall into the water. Take shortcuts? Cops crash into various obstacles and -explode-.

''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas''. Throat-cuts to random pedestrians. Vehicle pile-ups near bridges lead to cars catapulting into the water. Any number of ways to get cops to dive into the drink: instant drowning ensues. Sometimes passengers don't bail from jacked cars. Their screams of terror are a delight. Do the 'kill the snitch' mission on Mt. Ciliad badly enough and the cops come. And more then likely tumble down the side of the mountain in their SUVs. Bye bye, officer. Heck, outright murdering one of the latter girlfriends (it's tough) leads to the Heist mission being done faster.

There's a glitch that allows for even more cruelty when throat-cutting peds. Throw some tear gas into a crowd of people, and if you cut just one persons throat everyone in the area will be killed in the same way.

Whenever I get particularly frustrated with the world, I go light monkeys on fire in ''{{Okami}}''. Or play ''{{Castlevania}}: SymphonyOfTheNight'' and wreak havoc in low-level areas with Crissaegrim.

''Red Dead Redemption''. I played the mission "Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child" where you have to rescue Jack from the bear. I rode him all the way to Blackwater, dismounted the horse, then quickly got back onto the horse (without Jack on) and rode as far away as I could without failing the mission. Result? I made the poor injured Jack limp all the way to Beecher's Hope all while screaming "Please Pa! Don't leave me here!!" If he got too close, I sped up the horse's speed.

With Medieval II: Total War, I always play as the French, and I always use cheat codes to have the French be the most ridiculously powerful country in the game. When its time to conquer, I attack the Holy Roman Empire (located in what is today, Germany). I did the same thing in Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword. I just really love having the French dominate everyone. XD

This troper loves mass murder in Okami in the ten gate trial; maybe it's not cruelty per se, but I love cutting monsters and all the ink shedding. The same goes with NoMoreHeroes, and with SuperSmashBrothersBrawl endless brawl let myself dive into the killing madness. some other thing are:

In Twilight Princess, I love to shot arrows to the boars in the hyrule field, and watch them run to the edge of the cliff with their jockeys. Also, I like to use the arrowed bombs and shoot nearly anything that crosses my way.

In Pokemon dismissed many vulpix, bagon and ralts in order to get shinies with egg moves. Also enjoy ussing SuperEffective attacks or OneHitKill. Once I cheated my cousin in using his Infernape against my Arceus holding the water plate. Things went downhill from there.

Generally I'm a BigGood girl in RealLife and videogames, but pretty much this troper can't have a SimulationGame at hand, specially the god-theme ones, since she goes all Sephiroth, tortures world's inhabitants and/or destroys the said world afterwards.

@/{{Mrin}} has some!

In ''Okami'', climbing up the cat tower and throwing kitties off the highest ledges. They respawn, so they get to drop again and again! Also, you can get the adults completely wasted at the festival after saving Kushi.

In ''Wind Waker'''s Wind Temple, putting Makar on one side of a sliding spiked anvil's path and putting Link close enough to activate the anvil, but on the other side. Then Link calls Makar over to get hit.

In Sims 2 Pets, I have a man named Bob who is fat and dresses only in the hottest pinks with his pink poodle who wears matching pink shades and shoes. the dog's a male too. Their home? Three walls, a phone, and a maze of fences. The phone is for prank call purposes. They stink and are constantly hungry, and Bob fights with everyone.

In ''Twilight Princess'' ramming the boars into each other. Lining them up in front of one of Hyrule Castle's entrances then preforming a spin attack to hit them all causes them to fall instantly. For some reason, they can't cross that white bridge.

In ''Ocarina of Time'' attacking the cursed skultula people is great fun! The cuckoos as well. Drop them all down the empty well and drop a few bombs, and it's fun for all! Running over the cuckoos with Epona is sweet too. Also, playing Epona's song in LonLon Ranch as a kid makes her follow you. Run out of the corral and to either side, and she'll follow you. She'll then want to return to Malon, and will run into the wall. Eventually, she'll get 'stuck', and continue to try to run to Malon. Haha!

In ''Majora's Mask'' going through the Kafei and Anju sidequest ... without giving Anju the pendant of memories. This results in Kafei and Link fighting through Sakon's traps, getting the mask, going to the Inn ... and Kafei sees that Anju isn't waiting for him like they promises. The moon is minutes from crushing them all, and Kafei's last thoughts are spent thinking that he's a failure and realizing that his fiance doesn't love him.

In ''Hamtaro Ham Ham Heartbreak'' Tack-Q'ing everyone in sight is fun. Tack-Q'ing babies in front of their parents (some of who do nothing to stop you) is great.

In Halo, shooting off one type of Flood's arm off results in them being unable to attack you, but that doesn't keep them from tying. Killing the humans on missions where they accompany you is entertaining as well. Especially Johnson who, no matter how many times you shoot him in the head, or melee him, won't die.

''Pokemon'', having your Pokemon attack each other during double battles. In HH/SS, having a fire pokemon walk with you and stand in water or in rain makes them very unhappy. In ''Explorers of Time and Darkness'' making fun of your partner right after they've been teased and called a coward by saying "Bok bok bok!".

There is nothing more satisfying than pressing delete on a unit of guardsmen in DOW...then doing it again until you kill all ten squads of them (of course, this is not a good idea if you don't have an ally, as you'll probably lose very quickly).

This Troper can be violent in any game. Mainly GTA, Black and White and the Dark Force Saga: slitting people's throat, throwing people off mountains, and throwing Stormtroopers into bottomless pits, respectively.

In ''Majora's Mask'', I like to torment Link by making him wear and activate the bomb mask. Hey, he should've been smarter than he was when he got the friggin' thing.

In ''Oblivion'', there's a segment where you have to save Bruma from being the second DoomedHometown of Cyrodill. I enter the Great Gate and...do nothing. I just let the Seige Crawler complete its path of destruction.

Also, in ''Oblivion'', I take Martin and Jauffre with me to an Oblivion Gate, tell them to stay put, push them into a lava pit before leaving them. Forever.

In a really old game called America:DividedNation, I go to the map editor and pick two armies. The British usually number in the 10s while the Americans number in the 10,0000s. Sometimes I like to make them fight together against the Texas, Mexicans, Apaches, Unions and Confederate factions.

In one of the DBZ fighting games, I go to training mode, pick Goku, my opponet Gohan, set the CPU to very hard and watch Gohan wail the crap out of IdiotHero, MarySue daddy.

In Resident Evil 4, I deliberatly have Leon step into traps. XD

This troper has been the victim of this many times in Portal 2's co-op mode, by ''her boyfriend'' of all people! Sludge, Crushers, Pits, you name it! He also has a tendency to run into a test and leave me behind.

Edgy in ''MetalGearSolid3''. Once, I killed a guard, allowed a vulture to eat him, killed the vulture for a ration, then I destroyed the Food Stores to make the area's soldiers go hungry. So I fed one of the soldiers the ration from the vulture who ate one of his buddies. I tricked the soldier into indirect cannibalism.

This troper's main reason for playing ''TheSims'' (the first game) was to drown her Sims, and other people's Sims, in the pool. At one point, I was hired by a friend to kill off his Sim's other love interest for him. Similarly, the only reason I played ''SimCity'' was to cause natural disasters. During this time, I hadn't yet started elementary school.

In ''L.A. Noire'', I like to drive into people, lamp posts, benches, trashbins, stands, signs, street lights, etc. I do that JUST to irritate Cole's partners. XD In a later section of the game, you get to drive your partner's car. Cue me destroying the partner's car again and again and again.

This one enjoys using cheats to spawn up a hundred white {{Pikmin}} and leaving them to die in an area where the night time limit spawns creatures that kill pikmin by eating them, not only do the white pikmin die, if the monsters get enough of a mouthful of them, they can die too.

This troper remembers finding inexpressable joy the first time he killed a little sister in Bioshock 2. Said troper's sister was there and asked why he did it, in which I replied "Because I could". Near the end of the game when I found Eleanor was acting like Daddy,I never felt more proud.

This troper was introduced to the game {{Rise of Nations}} by her father, who also taught her that There's No Kill Like Overkill. 2 years afterward, and she still found great delight in making it so she controlled all nations, make 7 of those 8 nations stick 200 citizens each into the middle of the board, and then kill them all with rocket artillery.

This troper enjoys TheSims for many, many reasons... my most diabolical experiment was when I made a woman called Test Subject #83 wwhatevver. I put her into a lot that had all the neccesary items to survive, albeit crammed into a one-room house that was only big enough for those things and some walking room. The house was 3x5 squares big. I had a stone wall leading out to the garbage can, but Test Subject #83 couldn't get anywhere else. She freaked out about the garbage for a while, then complained about the newspaper, then I felt merciful and gave her a large painting. However, right after that I used the moveobjects cheat and moved one of my friend's Sims who happened to be walking by into the room. She was also a girl... so naturally I used boolprop to make them fall in love. Then they got joined, and ''then'' I proceeded to make them argue until Test Subject #83 broke up with her. I wasn't done just yet. THEN I slowly started to delete things in the room until only the lightbulb and some really filthy cups and plates were everywhere. She wouldn't die, so I made her alien pregnant, sped up the pregnancy, accidentally created another person in the family using boolprop. (and killed her accordingly) Test Subject #83 finally had the alien, but it turned out to be TWINS. I named them Eridan and Feferi. Aaaand then I made Test Subject die using the Tombstone of L and D. Eridan and Feferi were left with no one. And oh it was so fun.

This troper like to run people over with the Knight Bus in the Level Builder in LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4. Running over Voldemort is quite satisfying. Also, QWOP is fun to make the poor guy flip over and faceplant.
