Gaming injuries too big for bandages
Might need something a little bigger...
We all know that a plaster and a kiss from mummy will make any cut or scrape all better, so the same probably goes for game characters too. Admittedly, we may not know these game characters' maternal parents, but we do have a packet of Elastoplasts and Photoshop. So I've tried to patch up some of gaming's worst injuries with them.
Be warned, some of these injuries are from 18-rated games and are certainly not for the squeamish. So no complaints if you have trouble sleeping, OK? And if you do have trouble sleeping, I only have one solution: A plaster.
Editor's Note: And in case it wasn't abundantly clear, plaster? Band-Aid? Totally the same thing! Now, on with the show...

Where is it supposed to go on this one?
I admit, this hasn't been my finest PhotoShop work. But there's so much blood here, if I were to realistically introduce a mere plaster to such vast, open wounds, it would be saturated with blood so quickly, you wouldn't be able to even see the plaster, making this feature pointless. So now you know. And I thought it was funnier like this anyway.
