10 Video Games That REWARD You For Failing

9. Being Given Ketchup - Metal Gear Solid

In the big scheme of things, you wouldn't think that ketchup would be much of a help when you've been held hostage and tortured.

And for most people, it wouldn't be, but for the MacGuyver-like skills of Solid Snake, it's somehow more than enough to escape.

Should you hang around lost for too long after you're left in your cell having just been tortured, Otacon will show up, before handing you some ketchup and then running away like a coward when your guard comes back.

This only helps your escape attempt, though, because if you lie on the group and use said ketchup, it will appear to the guard like you've somehow been murdered. This sends him running into the room, right into your well-trained, murder-proficient arms, allowing your escape to finally begin.

There are several ways to break out, but this is perhaps the most hilarious, as it's a perfect blend of the game giving you an easier way to escape while also being as surreal as possible. Wonder if any real-world prison breakouts have been made possible because of good ol' Heinz.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
