*** To quote Thonar Silver-Blood, the guy that runs Cidhna Mines, he uses the BoxedCrooks inside to get rid of competitors, agents, and idiots.

* Radio Shack once published a variant of ''TabletopGame/{{Mastermind}}'' for the UsefulNotes/TRS80 named ''Quick, Watson!''. In this game, you have to determine which of 4 criminals committed each of 4 crimes: assault, felony theft, arson, and parking in front of a fire hydrant.

* Level 21 of ''Zombie Solitaire 2: Chapter One'':
-->The dark forest lies in front of you. Your heart's beating like mad. Who knows what dangers might await you in there? Zombie werewolves? Killer bunnies? Bloodthirsty boars? Blisters?

* The surreal and unexpectedly bizzaire ''VideoGame/SeventySevenPEggwife'' have this in it's ContentWarnings:

* In ''VideoGame/AgentUnderFire'' R is listing off all the (impressive) combat improvements to the BMW at the end of the second level, and finishes with, "And of course... [[MundaneMadeAwesome A refrigerated beverage holder]]."
* In ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpires Online'', the port master tells a tale of how bandits ransacked his home, murdered his wife, set fire to his fishing nets, stole his harpoons, [[KickTheDog boiled his cat]], drank his grog and sat in his favorite chair. Oh, and they also kidnapped his children, which he wants you to rescue.

** In-game posters state that Salvador is wanted for manslaughter, theft, arson, destruction of property, trespassing, [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalism]], public indecency, and.... profanity.

* In ''VideoGame/CrusaderKingsII'' DLC The Reaper's Due, new prisoner interactions include humiliation, torture, mutilation, cannibalism and [[SuckinessIsPainful reading bad poetry to them]].

* In ''VideoGame/TheDarksideDetective'' the city library is plagued with the ghosts of dead authors. The ghost of Creator/EnidBlyton disapproves of the others, saying that they're all terrible people like occultists, horror writers, and DIY fanatics.

** Also one of Pritchard's mails on security for employees: DON'T give your friends your access cards, DON'T meet your friends and family in your workplace and most importantly, [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil DON'T Play shareware games during lunch hour]]

* ''VideoGame/DeusExInvisibleWar'' plays with this, with a request for an inventory of Servo nets, energy clips, rotator bearings and coffee from the weapons department.

** The core ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' had a few, ranging from Zevran pointing out that you can kill with knives, magic and small children launched at great speed, to the female City Elf Warden lamenting that at her wedding, there were rapists ''and'' they got the wrong cake.
* The ''VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing'' promotional video starts out with one of these: "First on the scene! First with the news! ''Last'' in the journalist's invitational softball tournament! ''This is Hot Topic!''

* In ''VideoGame/DrillDozer'', Jill [[spoiler:gets arrested for theft, vandalism, avoiding the police and skipping out on 17 checks]].

** It's even worse in the first game during the tutorial, if you gave the teddy bear to the bully you are ''damn'' sure going to hear about it from the guard.

* In ''VideoGame/GuildWars'', when the Asura golemancer Zinn is put on trial, the charges against him are given as " 1. Mathematical turpitude. 2. Gross flummoxery in the first degree. 3. Reckless instigation of mayhem WITHOUT a permit. 4. An overdue library tome".

* ''VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead'''s latest installment, OVERKILL, gives us this (slightly but [[NarmCharm intentionally]] {{Narm}}-ish) line at the end of the game as Agent G lists off what the BigBad has accomplished.

* Inverted in ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'' with [[PsychoForHire HK-47's]] complaints about the HK-51, [[EvilIsPetty complaining they are cheap knock-offs that butcher his original design]], when the player can point out that they look very similar to him. Something that he rages less about is the fact a bunch of assassin droids running around looking like him will make it harder for him to work as assassin since people will know what he looks like, a much more logical reason for hating them.

** If you rescue workers in Dantius Towers while looking for [[ProfessionalKiller Thane]], one of them will send you an email telling you how he felt inspiration as he saw Thane moving with grace and power like a dancer. He finishes by telling he's also going to buy some nice clothes.

* The MO of the Space Pirates from ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'': kill those who get in their way, conduct unethical biological experiments to make killer bio-weapons that may or may not obey them, take any interesting tech/stuff that isn't bolted and use/reverse engineer it for their own benefit... even if means stealing doorway technology.

* In ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler'', Tressa is terrified of "ghosts, thunder and debts".

* In ''VideoGame/OhSirTheInsultSimulator'', You can potentially start your insult with "Your sister is old and will die soon" and end it with "Your math teacher never watched Star Wars".

--> '''Professor Rowan''': Quiet, you lot! Why must you be such a nuisance? Let me list some lessons you still need to learn. #1: Don't loiter about for no good reason. #2: Don't interrupt others while they are attempting to converse. #3: If you don't get your way, don't raise your voice to be intimidating. #4: Don't think you've grown strong just because you're in a group. #5: What is with those outlandish outfits you have on?

** When [=Durial321=] went on a player-killing rampage after a bug allowed him to kill players outside of [=PvP=] areas and minigames, he was equipped with [[BadassLongRobe Ahrim's]], a [[BadassCape fire cape]], obsidian shield, [[WhipItGood abyssal whip]], and a green partyhat.

* In ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney: Justice for All'', unlucky cop Maggey Byrde explains that her life has been a constant string of disasters, giving examples of falling from a nine-story building at six months old, constantly getting sick from various foods, being hit by all manner of vehicles, failing nearly every test she's ever attempted, and never winning or even tying at a game of tic-tac-toe.
