-->'''Nelson:''' I miss my office. It's warm in my office. It's safe in my office. There are no [[spoiler: maniacal gnomes or chainsaw-wielding waitresses]] in my office!
* The ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'' community module "Sanctum of the Archmage" contains a series of magic computers in the ruins that form most of the first chapter, with the option to play games on them. "Global thermonuclear war" is innocuously placed among the other, more traditional games (also a ShoutOut to ''Film/WarGames'', mentioned above).
* ''VideoGame/NightInTheWoods'': On day 3, if you examine the family portrait on the second floor, Mae has this to say.
-->'''Mae:''' Home. Where everyone knows my name. And my mom's name. And my dad's name. And about that time I put that kid in the hospital.
* In ''VideoGame/NightTrap'', this is combined with BlackComedy: In the second part of the driveway, [[ThoseTwoGuys Jeff and Tony]] meet up with Weird Eddie for a scare:
-->'''Jeff:''' ''[waves]'' Hi, Eddie! Bye, Eddie!\\
'''Tony:''' Hey, nice of you to drop by, Eddie!\\
'''Jeff:''' Oh, and let us know when you wanna die, Eddie! ''[Eddie gets frightened and runs off from the scene]''
* In ''VideoGame/OhSirTheInsultSimulator'', You can start with "Your father never watched Star Wars" and work your way up to "Your sister flashes people in the park".
* One of the chained up peasants in ''VideoGame/OverlordRaisingHell'', who hangs from a wall in Melvin's kitchen pleads ''"Will someone just give me some food? Potaoe peelings, apple cores, a brussel sprout even... anything!"''
* ''Videogame/PlanescapeTorment'' has Vrischka's Curiosity Shoppe -- most of the items are... less than ordinary, like a monster jug containing a real monster, a bottle of angel's tears and a demon's tongue. Then there's the baby oil.
-->'''Vrischka:''' [[MadeFromRealGirlScouts from only the finest mewling mortal babies!]]
* As described on [[https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/gtbiw8/according_to_the_source_code_leaks_pokemon/ this page]]: "According to the source code leaks, ''[[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum]]'' have decreased encounter rates when played on the dates of Jan 1st, Spring/Autumn Equinoxes, [[UsefulNotes/AtomicBombingsOfHiroshimaAndNagasaki the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings]], and [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror 9/11]]."
* Happens a couple of times in ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'':
** At the beginning of one chamber, [=GLaDOS=] helpfully informs you that touching the GrimyWater 'floor' "will result in an unsatisfactory mark on your official testing record, followed by death."
** During the final BossBattle, the Logic Core will give you the recipe for the cake. It starts with many of the ingredients you'd expect (flour, eggs), then moves on to a few you wouldn't expect (rhubarb, crackers), a few that are downright dangerous (explosives, carcinogenic preservatives), various pieces of equipment (adjustable aluminum head positioner, injector needle gun), and some that are just plain wrong ([[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking licorice, fish]]). In retrospect, maybe it's a good thing [[MemeticMutation the cake is a lie]].
** The ending theme song, "Still Alive," contains several examples:
*** "Aperture Science[=/=]We do what we must because we can[=/=]For the good of all of us[=/=]Except the ones who are dead."
*** "I've experiments to run[=/=]There is research to be done[=/=]On the people who are[=/=][[TitleDrop Still Alive]]."
*** "I'm not even angry[=/=]I'm being so sincere right now[=/=]Even though you broke my heart[=/=]and killed me[=/=]And tore me to pieces[=/=]And threw every piece into a fire."
* Not to be outdone by its predecessor, ''VideoGame/Portal2'' also has some examples:
** A wall sign in the old labs invites you to "KNOW YOUR ALLERGENS: Pollen. Animal dander. Plastics. {{Antimatter}}".
** One of [[PosthumousCharacter Cave Johnson]]'s prerecorded speeches helpfully informs [[PlayerCharacter Chell]] that the old Enrichment Spheres are made of asbestos, to keep the rats down. So, you should "Let us know if you feel a shortness of breath, a persistent dry cough, or your heart stopping."
** On a DummiedOut poster - "Know your time travel paradoxes. Always avoid... Future self, your father, past self, [[HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct Hitler]]."
* In ''VideoGame/PresentableLiberty'', the player character periodically receives new minigames from their "Happy Buddy". At one point, he lists off all the things he had to sell in order to buy the latest game - his house, his food, one of his lungs...
* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' brings us the [[GirlScoutsAreEvil Rainbow Squirt]] Pledge of Purpose: "To promote niceness. To make the world prettier. To share candy with everyone. [[MilkmanConspiracy To obfuscate the true nature of the Milkman. To protect the Milkman at all costs. To destroy all who would harm the Milkman, or threaten to reveal his secret objective.]]"
* ''VideoGame/RalloGump'' has the description of the planet Gump's geography:
-->From the mountains...to the valleys. From the sheer rock faces...to the [[LethalLavaLand volcanic spike fields]].
* In ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'', the Protagonist is discussing his/her concerns with Pierce, one of the Saints' lieutenants, about an imminent attack by an anti-gang organization called "STAG." Pierce, however, seems a bit distracted.
-->'''Protagonist:''' With STAG in town, we need to be careful, Pierce.\\
'''Pierce:''' Huh? Oh, yeah, I totally agree.\\
'''Protagonist:''' Our place might be compromised...\\
'''Pierce:''' Whatever you say.\\
'''Protagonist:''' ...and we should get some horses and mount a charge on STAG...
* In ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice'' Hugh Bliss manages to do this even when his actual words are nothing but Squick. The Bread, Eggs, and Milk are all in the bubbly falsetto with which he speaks the line.
** Also in the series, Bosco's sells weapons in addition to food and (in the past) baby care.
* One of [[DeadlyDoctor Valentine's]] match start quotes in ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'' is:
--> Side effects include nausea, headaches, and '''death'''.
* ''VideoGame/SonicColors'':
** The Wii version has this exchange.
--->'''Tails:''' ...oh there you are. Where'd you run off to?\\
'''Sonic:''' I did a little shopping, grabbed a bite to eat and trashed a giant killer robot.
** Bonus points for Tails' reaction being "Oh, really? They've got shopping here too?"
** A few of Eggman's PA lines have this as well.
--->"Please refrain from throwing coins, trash, or small children into the reflecting pools."\\
"Next stop, the Tropical Resort. Here, you will find: breath-taking views from our giant Ferris wheel, amazing deals from our shopping mall, and constant risk of bodily harm."
* The intro to the ''Manga/{{Strider}}'' NES game goes as follows: "The Striders: They are the toughest group of people who execute acts such as infiltration, abduction, explosion, instigation, etc." Put it down to the game's characteristic bad translation, probably.
* When Amuro comes back in ''Third VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ: Tengoku-hen'', AG references that old horrible comic (about him getting mad and punching out a monitor upon seeing Giren's speech) and the novel (about what he called Sayla there, about him dying to a beam bazooka, and of course the [[spoiler:pubic hair thing]]).
* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfMonkeyIsland Chapter 4: The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood'', if Guybrush tells Judge Grindstump "I want a change of venue!":
-->'''Guybrush:''' Your honor, I'd like to request a change of venue!\\
'''Grindstump:''' Where to?\\
'''Guybrush:''' Oh, how about back at your place... just you, me, a jug of grog, a loaf of bread, and some scandalous legal briefs...\\
'''Grindstump:''' ''[gets ticked off]'' CAPTAIN THREEPWOOD WILL TERMINATE HIS CLUMSY AND OFF-PUTTING ATTEMPTS TO SEDUCE THIS COURT AT ONCE! ARRRR!!!!
** And in Chapter 5:
-->'''[[spoiler:Demon Bride Elaine]]:''' How dare you!! I have a wedding ceremony to plan, a dress to pick out, a reception to arrange and some bridesmaids to slaughter! I don't have time for this!
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': ''It's the middle-ish part of a century a lot like the one we just had. A simpler time. There are three TV stations, one phone company, and '''two holding corporations that secretly control every government on the planet'''.''
** In the "Meet the Medic" video, the Medic's conversation with the Heavy borders on this, with him entertaining his patient with a funny story about medical malpractice (the doctor stole the patient's ''skeleton''), and finishing with "Anyway, that's how I lost my license." To make things worse, he's telling this story to a patient while in the middle of an operation. [[CrossesTheLineTwice While the patient is conscious.]]
--->'''Heavy:''' Should I be awake for this?\\\\
'''Medic:''' Well, no. But since you are, could you hold your ribcage open a bit more?
** In "Meet the Sniper", the sniper goes over a few of his professional standards: "Be polite. Be efficient. [[CrazyPrepared Have a plan to kill everyone you meet]]."
* In the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' series, one of [[{{Meido}} Sakuya Izayoi]]'s official profiles states:
-->''She does a maid's duty perfectly: cooking, cleaning, washing, babysitting, [[KnifeNut knife throwing]], etc.''
* [[VideoGame/TwistedMetal Style, sophistication, the ability to launch napalm into oncoming traffic. If these are the things you look for in an automobile, it's time you test drive Twisted Metal.]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' has Mettaton boasting at various points some variation of "DRAMA! ACTION! BLOODSHED!" There are also the key cake ingredients in his "Cooking with a Killer Robot" scene: flour, milk, eggs... and a human soul.
* Some of the quest descriptions in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' fit the bill nicely.
--> '''Horzak Zignibble:''' Workers act like it's their job to complain. If it isn't the backbreaking labor, the long hours, or the low pay, it's [[TakenForGranite being turned to stone]] by basilisks. It's always something!
* We have Vieri De'Pazzi in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'', [[spoiler: as Ezio is leaving Firenze]].
-->'''Ezio:''' What do you want, Vieri?\\
'''Vieri:''' So many things! A larger palazzo, two new steeds, a prettier bride... oh, and yes... your life.
