Video Game Cruelty Potential/Web Comics
Examples of Video Game Cruelty Potential in Web Comics include:
- Leo, of VG Cats, is a Cruel Player Character God, as seen here.
- El Goonish Shive. Tedd can be quite cruel when playing Black and White, though apparently not to the extent suggested above.
- He mostly seems to turn people into girls. So it's more or less like his usual behavior, but more.
- If memory serves, it's Grace who goes overboard with this. 'That poor turtle..'
- And now Gabe joins the fun with In Famous.
- Brawl in the Family points out just how cruel standard gameplay is in its "Ode to Minions".
- In Hearts of Iron, you can launch a nuclear attacks. Not only will the target country suffer industry and manpower destruction, it may well descend into civil war.
- In a bonus comic for Gunnerkrigg Court, Kat introduces Annie to Grand Theft Auto. Annie, who apparently hasn't played computer games before, has trouble sleeping that night...
- Homestuck's Sburb has a lot of potential for this. Case in point. The entire reason why that situation exists is because of their version of live action role-playing - Vriska (the girl he's talking to) used her powers as a Killer DM to force Tavros (the guy in the wheelchair) to jump off a cliff when he was indecisive about fighting two powerful enemies.
- Darwin Carmichael Is Going to Hell has a strip where Skittles the manticore is upset when Patrick shows him how to play Grand Theft Auto.
