Laser-Guided Karma: Difference between revisions

*** ...Except that it is also negative [[Laser-Guided Karma]], as Samus was the one who killed all the Metroids.

** Another cross-game example: Remember those cute critters that taught you how to shinespark and wall-climb in ''Super Metroid''? At the end of ''Super Metroid'' you can take some time off your busy schedule of {{spoiler|escaping the [[Load-Bearing Boss|self-destructing planet]]}} and help them reach their own ship (it's the small dot flying away from Zebes in the ending cinematic). At the end of ''Metroid Fusion'', they'll return the favor by {{spoiler|saving your ship from the rampaging Omega Metroid, allowing you to escape the [[Colony Drop|doomed space station]].}}

** [[Quest for Glory]] tends towards the positive karma version of this trope (usually negative karma is quite predictable since someone is present and may warn you not to do something). Fail to rescue the monkey from the cage? Well good luck going to the lost city. Didn't show compassion to the woman turned into a tree? Well no magic fruit to make a dispel potion!

* A minor act of kindness by ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'s'' [[Chew Toy]] Almaz towards Sapphire (she overheard him defending her in the guard barracks) in the background story is the ultimate source of his case of [[Throw the Dog a Bone]] and [[Rags to Royalty]].

* A rare case of MMA Instant Karma, but by former UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans' own admission, he was actually in the process of taunting Lyoto Machida (or reassuring himself) by attempting to say "you hit like a bitch," only to be cut off by a looping right hook from Machida made all the more effective by Evans' open mouth.

* [[Gene Roddenberry]] produced the pilot for a proposed [[ABC]] series called ''The Long Hunt Of April Savage'' in 1965 (the only pilot he oversaw which he didn't create - he did it on behalf of his friend [[The Man from U.N.C.L.E.|Sam Rolfe]]), and banned the network liaison fron the set. Fifteen years later the man from the network, Harve Bennett, was put in charge of the second ''[[Star Trek]]'' film after Roddenberry's behaviour on [[Troubled Production|the first one]], and not only brought it in for "less than [[Precision F-Strike|forty-five fucking million dollars]]" but was entrusted with the next few as well. Result: the most successful film of the series (until [[J.J. Abrams]] had a go) and the most acclaimed among fans and critics were both made under Bennett's watch instead of "executive consultant" Roddenberry's. (Oh, and the pilot? It didn't sell.)

* When this [http://rhrealitycheck.org/article/2013/09/04/convicted-rapist-fears-he-got-hiv-from-his-victim/ British man] was convicted of rape, he also learn that [[From Bad to Worse| his victim happens to be HIV-Positive]].
