Line 29:
* In ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', Niko's responses are more or less proportionate to the wrongs inflicted, but one of the ''talk show hosts'' is not so discriminating.
{{quote|Bas Rudden [[Special Guest|(as himself)]] ''"Bas doesn't believe in an eye for an eye. Oh no, Bas believes in an eye for two eyes. Or maybe two eyes and an ear. Or two eyes, and an ear, and a spleen, and maybe a new shirt because '''[[Unstoppable Rage|this one is covered]] [[Ludicrous Gibs|IN ENTRAILS!]]'''"''}}
** In the "Deconstruction" mission of ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'', C.J. finds out that some construction workers have been calling his sister Kendl a hooker. C.J.'s response is to head over to the construction plant to "teach them some respect." How does he do this? He smashes up their portables with a bulldozer, and then traps the foreman in his own porta-potty, pushes it into a hole in the ground ''with the poor bastard still inside'', and then commandeers a cement mixer and uses it to ''[[Buried Alive|bury him alive]]''. And all the while he's doing that last bit, the poor guy is screaming "OH GOD, WHY?!" ''Woah,'' C.J., I know you care about your sis a great deal, but ''that was cold.''
*** The worse part? Kendl really does dress like a hooker.
**** In fact, one of the first time you see Kendl in a cutscene, she's arguing with her other brother who tells her that she "dresses like a God damn hooker"
Line 80:
{{quote|'''Bartender''': ''(To Sam)'' It's for you, McGruff.
'''Sam''': ''(To Max)'' "McGruff"? Did you hear what he just called me? I hate that! Let's sneak into his room at night and drain all the fluids out of his body. }}
* In ''[[
* In ''[[Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge|Monkey Island 2 Le Chucks Revenge]]'', the game (nearly) ends with Guybrush maiming LeChuck and pulling his mask off Scooby-Doo style to reveal...'''his brother, Chucky!''' You can ask him one of two questions regarding his motivation for hunting and torturing you relentlessly across two games. One of the questions garners the response that when you were both children, you stepped on and broke his favorite toy.
* One of the major quests in ''[[Dragon Age|Dragon Age: Origins]]'' involves an ancient curse that a vengeful elven leader inflicted on humans. After his son was tortured and murdered by humans and his daughter raped (and subsequently committed suicide), Zathrian was understandably enraged and sought justice. He {{spoiler|bound the spirit of the Brecilian forest to a wolf}}, creating a savage creature that attacked and infected the responsible humans with lycanthropy. However, the curse lasted indefinitely and spread to many innocent humans, and even the original criminals [[Your Mileage May Vary|probably]] didn't deserve two hundred years of unbearable suffering.
Line 94:
* In ''[[Homeworld]]'', the protagonist race builds a mothership, takes it on a test drive, and comes home to find their planet incinerated and 300,000,000 people dead. Why? They violated a 4000 year old ban on interstellar travel, which they weren't even aware of.
** [[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|I'm sorry, but if they can't be bothered to take an interest in local affairs... I don't know, apathetic bloody planet, I've no sympathy at all.]]
* In a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmOmipBFS64 special movie] for ''[[Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops]] Plus'', a Yellow Genome Soldier ends up winning a race despite the fact that not only was the race meant for GA-KOs and not humans, but he was supposed to act as a referee/race starter. Campbell and Raiden, under Old Snake's command, then repaid him by shooting two RPG-7s at him while he was savoring the victory.
* [[Angry Birds]] forces this trope into being, but that's somewhat the point, since the pigs stole the birds' eggs.
** Even more so in the animations, where when a mosquito touches one of the eggs, the red bird crushes it to death. Repeatedly. In an additional animation, a butterfly simply ''brushes'' an egg...and gets crushed to death.
