Most of the renegade interrupts in Mass Effect 2. Spoilers! “You’re working too hard…” _electrocutes a batarian to death_ “You talk too much!” _shoots a gas pipe below a krogan clanspeaker, then shoots again, incinerating him_ Mercenary: “…I’ve got nothing else to say to you-” RenShep: “-how 'bout ‘goodbye’” _Punts him through a skyscraper window to his death (aliens in the future still use fragile glass, apparently)._ “I’ve had enough of your disingenuous assertions!” _Punches a reporter in the face._ Pretty much all of the interrogation as a renegade. Damn, I love being bad. ---

More Mass Effect stuffs. ‘Shepard, the men’s restroom is on on the port side of the ship’ ‘Wrex.’ ‘Shepard.’ ‘Wrex.’ ‘Shepard.’ ‘Wrex.’ ‘Shepard.’ ---

> [@Anaamika](#): > > A lot of these, but headshots. Definitely headshots. Especially with a shotgun. BOOM! Agree with this, but would add “sniper rifle”, as well. A nice, clean sniper shot that leaves a blood stain on the wall behind them NEVER gets old. ---

Tossing a grenade at a box of cannon balls as the SS closes in on you, then leaving the room just before the explosion. Come back in, and the room is gone. The ORIGINAL Castle Wolfenstein. ---

A Dragon Punch timed at just the right moment, through a fireball, for the KO. Sneaking up behind a guard in Metal Gear Solid and placing a bomb on his back. Sniper Rifle/Rail Gun to the face from maximum draw distance. ---

> [@](#): > > 1. Playing Doom with only the knife and seeing how far you can get Doom didn’t have a knife. The no-ammo melee weapon was either bare fists, or a chainsaw. And the bare fists were actually pretty powerful (for the duration of a level), if you got the berserk pack. ---
