What were they thinking!?!

GameHouse Forums > The Lounge

There are always gripes about little game 'goofs'. Brushes are combs. The red key looks purple. You just grin and move on. But I just played a trial that had a good sized campfire with lots of glowing coals left. They had you add a mass of thin firewood (fine), and then had you pour a stream of gas on it from a gas can!! I winced, and laughed just a little.... Not the first time I have run across things in games that are clearly OMG-- Do not try this at home!!!!

Does anyone else have any favorite examples of great ways to kill yourself that have showed up in games as required moves? The ones I've seen have mostly involved 'gas' used in incredibly stupid ways. There was one doozy involving electricity.... I can't remember which game on that. Another on 'breaking the glass', ditto.

And I haven't been playing these games very long...........

I think you are the only one who has thought of that as I never put that much effort into thinking such
