I killed my companion cube. He'd never done anything wrong to me, in fact up until that point he'd helped me open doors and stuff. I euthanized the poor guy. Didn't hesitate. "Faster than any other test subject" she said. Mind you, I blame her. She made me do it. Doesn't wash away my guilt though. I could have just refused. Not like it made any difference in the end. Still got captured by that effing party escort robot.

I believe me and my friend have a horrible tendency to tether people to the road while they ride their bike in Just Cause 2.

Ahahaha, one more awesome idea for that game. I'm hoping to get that really soon, looks f***ing amazing.

Also, when I rented inFAMOUS, I would get people to walk into a puddle, then shock the puddle and fry them. The same goes for launching people into the water in the park and frying them.

I remember going on mock purging raids, killing anybody with a hood or a plague mask. Hehehe.......

Well, my Companion Cube threatened to stab me... so I was justified.

I once played oblivion, and had a genocide of all the non-humans in the cities. (all the cult and lizard people)

That's the closest I've come to crying at a video game.

The worst thing I've done in video game that I can remember... killing Sander Cohen in Bioshock. After his masterpiece was complete, I pulled out my crossbow and wailed on his back. That's when I found out he was a houdini. I died, came back and shot him to death. Then I took a picture of his corpse.

In Fable 2. I'd have sex with maidens. Then kill them. They never really learned their lesson.

I killed all the whores in town. Then I brought Sadie the prostitute to my lovers house, had an orgy, killed Sadie and the woman. The daughter of the woman was distraught, so I gave her a clockwork pistol as a gift. At this point the father of the girl walks in, and threatens me in what sounded like an Irish accent. He starts shooting at me, and for some reason gets stuck in the door of the house due to a glitch. The town guards come, but can't get in. I go to the balcony and take potshots at them. I then jump out, with guards still following me, and tell all the surviving citizens to follow me. I take them up to that big magic mountain hill thing and push them off, one by one.

In Fallout 3, I shot at the sheriff's son with a rocket launcher.

Thing is, in Fallout 3, you can't kill the kids. So instead, everyone in Megaton was trying to kill me.

Burned a whole city to the ground.
drowned somebody in a pool.
burned a baby to death in a small room.
starved a person to death.

The scary thing is those all come from sim city and the sims
also theirs a trope for this;

a lot of russian, afghani, american and brazillian men will not be returning to their families ever again, I keep saying myself that we are at war, and they were trying to kill me too, but it still haunts me. how can I ever live a normal life again?! those men could have had wives and kids! maybe even a dog! who will take care of them?!

(I think infinity ward should include post-traumatic stress in modern warfare for additional realism)
