8 More Bizarre Methods To Heal Yourself In Video Games

6. Bin/Floor Food - Various

Why is it that video games, from the arcade heyday to the current incarnation of hardware melters all seem to fall back on the age-old trope of making us eat from bins or off the floor?

I honestly feel for germaphobes whenever they pick up the likes of Castlevania or Streets Of Rage 4 and are forced to eat chicken out of walls and floors as even as a man who may as well turn the "five-second rule" into a new religion for how devoted I am to it, the idea of eating a full rotisserie that's got a wood filler dusting or comes with a side of used nappy turns my stomach fully.

Watching Booker Dewitt fish through bins for candy bars might well inform us that the man is indeed a piece of trash but it's still a ridiculous and bizarre method to patch up a shotgun wound and I'd wager that if your doctor prescribed you a block of nougat for an axe to the face you'd not likely be returning anytime soon.

Namely, because you'd be dead as this is ridiculous.
