This reminds me of that BOFH story, where they wired up DOOM to kill a user's computer when they died, and disabled the save button on Excel until they beat them at DM. With only a pistol.
Sadly, I don't have the link, and the BOFH archives have been scrubbed from the internet. But it's not nearly as cool as some of the other links people have posted, so whatever.

I patch a game of Network DOOM with sprites of the NC users' faces and get the kills piped to the SNMP reboot command. Kill a user, their Network Computer goes down. > Of course, it's not very sporting, so I ring the users and tell them, to give them a fighting chance. Well, as much of a chance as you can get using the apps-server-based copy of the game which only lets you pick up a handgun. Still, it's amazing how good a beancounter can get at pistol shooting when two hours of spreadsheet work are at stake and you have to win a game to use the Save option.
