6 Completely Insane Things Video Games Asked Us To Do
4. Stabbing A Needle Into Your Own Eye - Dead Space 2
As Dwight Schrute once wisely said: ‘The eyes are the groin of the head’.
It’s not surprising then that most humans hastily raise significant misgivings when someone suggests sticking a needle into their eyes.
Dead Space 2 is a survival horror game that was first released 2011, and ever since then it has been etched into the minds of anyone who ever played it due to a more intense, eyeball related sequence than the intro to God of War 3. Not content with a mere crap-ton of jump scares and ‘strategic dismemberment’ of mutated human corpses controlled by Necromorphs, the game ratchets up the tension at the end of chapter 13, where it forces you to actually insert a needle into your own precious, squishy little eye ball.
Mess up and you’ll have a whole lot of blood to clean of your screen, as well as a few more interesting talking points with your therapist years down the line.
