10 Video Game Cheat Codes Designed To PUNISH You
9. I'm Drunk As A Skunk And Twice As Smelly - Red Dead Redemption
Getting drunk in video games is like getting drunk in real life, but without the painful experience of a hangover the day after. There's something inherently funny about your character struggling to perform even the simplest of tasks, although, at the same time, you can probably tell how annoying it would be if the effect didn't go away after a while.
This is exactly what the cheat code "I'm Drunk As A Skunk And Twice As Smelly" from the original Red Dead Redemption does. After you input this long and convoluted phrase on your console (which, if you've ever used the PlayStation text input, you know just how painful that is), the game will give your character a permanent buzz. Now instead of just drunkenly waddling in front of the saloon, you can ride across the entire map and get into shootouts with people while seeing double and being unable to maintain basic eye-hand coordination.
The cheat was obviously made as a joke, but to be honest, it's also a great handicap for those who feel like Red Dead Redemption is just too easy.
If you've never beaten the game as the cowboy equivalent of Jackie Chan's Drunken Master, can you say you've truly beaten it?
