To quote the artist himself:
You know it's bad when they cut this one, but left the Vault Boy image for the "Porn Star" reputation in...

Getting a big sandbox city to roam around. Three of my favourites are from the Assassin's Creed series: Jerusalem (beautiful, if a little empty), Venice (fun to climb around in and the integration of the canals worked great.) and Rome (for the sheer density of stuff to do there.)

Driving a Stryker through the front gate of a Mafia boss' mansion and raising seven kinds of hell. Always a good day.

I only have a clue about one of these last three things (The L.A. Noire one). Anyone care to elaborate?

That moment when your character kills an enemy in a way you didn't even know you could do, because you pressed joystick in slightly the wrong direction. So instead of slashing at the guy, your PC vaults over his head and does the cool sword-under-the-armpits trick, decapitating him and making a barrel explode by making his head hit it. Or something - and you're all, 'Meant to do it! Only reason I never did it until now is modesty!'

Sort of like that blind headshot with the sniper rifle on the first try... Oh wow, that was me?

The Game (you all just lost it, btw. ): Sniper Elite for PS2. Problem: 6 bad guys in a cluster. Can't set up the epic chain headshot. Solution: Snipe the grenade on one of the soldiers and blow them all up.

Now that I've finished both of them, I'm starting to admire how well the Fallout: New Vegas add-ons, Honest Hearts and Old World Blues are fitting together. Like, for example, combining them allows me to do this:
* Ransack a place in the Mojave for coffee mugs. * Give said mugs to Muggy at Big Mountain, recieving a few empty syringes for each mug. * Head to Zion National Park and just roam around, picking plants for a while. * Put the plants into the Biological Research Station at Big Mountain and get a few dozen loads of Salient Green. * Use the hot plate nearby to clone some Xander Roots and Broc Flowers from the Salient Green. * Use the Sink's workbench to create stimpacks using the herbs and empty syringes.
I was able to make about 50 stimpacks in twenty minutes this way. It's quite cool how they've added in things like this to make the Survival skill less useless. It's like they knew what they were adding into the next DLC and remembered what they put in the previous one! The level of attention to detail in DLC just blows my mind!

I love the mood whiplash you can get in games where you make moral choices by randomly doing something really evil while playing as a good character.
Like in my most recent playthrough of Dragon Age 2. My Hawke, normally a decent Templar supporter, tortured a guy in her mansion, then had him killed while he sobbed about his wife and kids. The whole thing was vaguely hilarious.
Another good one would be romancing Alistair in the first game, acting completely noble and selfless until you let Anora execute him at the Landsmeet. You can even tell him you're just doing it because you feel like it!

Sudden inexplicable evil in RPG's is good. I also like being ludecrously good, to the point that it becomes ridiculous. KotOR had several moments where you could be so saintly that even the 'good' characters would call you out on it. For some reason I really enjoyed wandering around being smug about what a super humanitarian Jedi I was. At the end you can walk out of the Star Forge, having saved the galaxy and Bastila and defeated Malak in combat... and then sorrowfully say, 'Malak is dead... Im afraid there was no way to save him.' Bastila responds, in a surprised tone of voice, 'I don't think ANYone epected you to save him...' and she sounds just a little bit pissed off at you. And I enjoyed that.
