* This was Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik's M.O. from about 1998-2008 in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog''. He would look for some SealedEvilInACan, often a god or EldritchAbomination of some sort. It would almost always run amok until [[BigDamnHeroes Sonic and his pals]] invariably showed up. After that phase, he seems to go back to creating original plans again.

* In ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'', making these is a [[ComedicSociopathy typical dwarven hobby.]] They usually involve [[LavaAddsAwesome magma]]. Notable examples from [[LetsPlay succession games]] include {{LetsPlay/Boatmurdered}}'s Project: Fuck The World (which incidentally shortens to FTW), and LetsPlay/{{Headshoots}}' [[spoiler:WEAPON.]]
