10 Embarrassing Things We All Did In Famous Video Games

4. Locking The Butler In The Fridge - Tomb Raider II

The Tomb Raider franchise was rather famous in its early days for a number of reasons, namely the absurdly sexual noises Lara would make when exerting herself or even when dying, and the much-illusive nude cheat which pretty much every teenage boy wanted to get their hands on.

Highly embarrassing though all that business is, one of the more amusing time-wasters that applies regardless of gender or sexual orientation is the ability to lock Lara's butler, Winston, in her giant fridge.

To do this, all you had to do was run to the fridge, open the door and wait for Winston, who rather creepily always follows Lara around. When Winston arrives, run into the fridge, wait for Winston to follow you, then run out and lock the door.

There were countless rumours that if you left Winston inside long enough he would actually freeze to death, and one shudders at the thought of the countless hours wasted running around the Croft household trying this out instead of, you know, getting on with the pretty awesome campaign.
