When the game has a 1-up right before a particularly hard spot, but the 1-up is a bit out of the way or hard to reach.
So if you are good enough to get it you can potentially keep going without getting a game over.
Dunno if there is name for it, but a lot of older platformers used to do it.

I love it when you clear an area of enemies, then a cutscene starts and a guy hits you in the face with the butt of his rifle, then you wake up in a jail or an arena without any of your gear.
I FUCKING LOVE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS IN EVERY FUCKING GAME EVER.
What games have jerks with hearts of gold? I love seeing supposed tough guys/assholes set aside their personal nature to do some acts of good.

In this game, death would show up if you failed any of the rules for a room. He'd chase after you and kill you if he caught you but if you were fast you could still beat the room and survive. It was kind of cool until I realized that he would also kill any enemy he touched, so the strategy for the entire game became "break the rule then have the grim reaper kill everything for you since it's faster"

Dont like all these new games where its all "you can make choices and be a le gud guy or a le bad goy". I liked RPGs because they put me in the role of another not because I wanted to be myself. I want to escape, not play as myself, I suck.

Mostly unrelated to the post chain but watching actual medieval history videos and learning how real combat works/worked makes you appreciate realism in games a lot more.
It's why I hope more games like Mount & Blade get made but go even further on being grounded in reality.

In the "Laid to Rest" quest in Morthal, the player discovers that a clan of vampires is planning to conquer the city. Their leader is Movarth, who was first mentioned in Oblivion in the in-game book Immortal Blood as a vampire hunter who fell victim to the author, who was himself secretly a vampire. If you didn't see the book in Oblivion (or never played it), copies can also be found throughout Skyrim, including in Movarth's lair.

What, seriously? Nothing says "level designer's day off" like Potion x1. Some devs even add special collectables just for this purpose like Mini Medals and BugFrags so you're guaranteed to find something useful in a hidden spot, even if you find it in the starting area when you're strong enough to take on the final boss.

I like that, if there's a challenge in order to get them at any time.

tvtropes is fine as long as you ignore 'meme' franchises and almost the entirety of the video games section
the people that write these pages think tropes are like pokemon and the game is to collect every one possible for their pet franchise no matter how vague or weak the connection.
