Don’t act like you’re better than the rest of us.
Video games are the ultimate fantasy, letting you become someone you could never be in the real world.
These are the evil things we’ve all done in video games.
Super Mario 64 - Throw Penguin Off Mountain
Don’t even lie.
Don’t act like you’re better than the rest of us.
Why did we do this?
To hear the sound a penguin makes when it explodes?
To prove to the Mushroom Kingdom that we were in control?
Or was it just to feel that rush that can only be experienced by taking another life?
Perhaps it was all of these things.
To Mario, however, they’re disposable.
Mario certainly didn’t mind, maintaining his same cheery demeanor as he closed in on Bowser.
But in the process, Mario–and we–became the villain.
It’s tragic, of course, that we still have to shoot them in the face.
But shoot them we must, as Master Chief works best when he’s alone.
Really, though, the Halo marines are mostly fun to slaughter because they say funny things in response.
Comedian David Cross even voiced one, offering little quips each time he was shot.
They had hopes and dreams.
And now, they have their blood spilling all over the streets of Los Santos.
We aren’t truly evil enough to avoid petting the dogs in Watch Dogs 2.
They ignore them, despite their faces being the cutest thing you’ve ever seen.
And in that time, this little pathetic digital baby managed to starve to death.
It was going to happen sooner or later.
But alongside the above-board stuff, you’re able to also be an outright monster.
One of the classic techniques we’ve pretty much all done is the “disappearing ladder.”
This makes them unable to ever leave, resulting in them eventually dying–perhaps after pooping their pants.
Unlike most of the other evil deeds on our list, this one actually comes with dire consequences.
This was eventually removed from the series, forcing players to actually jump and attack enemies trying to recover.
After all, it wasn’t like you had to worry about someone exploiting it in an online match.
However, the fact remains that playing as Oddjob in GoldenEye on Nintendo 64 was downright despicable.
It’s not just us saying that, either, but thegame’s own designers.
Giving Your Guest The Cheap Controller
Is it evil, or is it simply an established rule?
But even those aren’t the worst things you’ve got the option to do in the game.
What choice do they have?
Yes, this is an amusement park, but the amusement is not for the guests.
What follows is often a complete slaughter of an entire city, and what have you gained from it?
