10 Awful Things We All Did In Video Games
1. Causing Mass Mudokon Murder-Suicide - Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus
The Oddworld games present a harsh, unforgiving world where players must make their best effort to rescue as many of protagonist Abe's enslaved fellow Mudokons as possible.
But the series' compliant A.I. system makes messing with the Mudokons a huge ton of massively cruel fun, especially in the more refined sequel Abe's Exoddus.
In the sequel, you're able to cause a chain reaction of murder-suicide by waiting until you've got a large group of Mudokons in a line, and then slapping one in the face and rolling away.
Typically a Mudokon will respond to a slap by slapping you back, but if you roll away, it'll instead slap the Mudokons stood next to it, kickstarting a slap-fest as all the Mudokons start angrily slapping each other.
After a few Mudokons have died from the assault, the rest will suddenly feel deep regret over their actions and start hitting themselves in the head, which they'll keep doing until they also die. Oof.
Have these poor little guys really not suffered enough already? Apparently not, but be totally honest - you got a massive kick out of torturing them.
