More Metal Gear Solid 4.
So there's this scene where you come across a soldier weeing into a river. I stealthed up to him, and, just as he zipped up, pointed a gun at him. Snake growled, "Freeze!" and the soldier dropped his gun and put his hands up.
I nicked his gun and then, for fear he might raise the alarm otherwise, shot him with a tranq. He fell unconscious.
All well and good so far, fortunes of war, that kind of thing. And we were still doing okay when I searched his body for anything else useful.
But the way Snake searches bodies is to pick them up and then drop them. And this guy landed in a crazy pose - feet braced up on the fence, arms sprawled to the side... It's hard to describe but I found it amusing.
So, I said to Chas, who was watching me play and was also entertained by his unusual pose, "Man, that's practically art." Whereupon I switched guns and put a bullet in his head. "Now I have to make sure he doesn't wake up and ruin it."
A pause, as Chas splutters faintly.
Me: "That was slightly serial killerish, wasn't it?"
Chas: "Slightly?"
I think I've been spending too much time in Arkham Asylum lately.
