I've heard of something like this going on in a video game.
I'm guessing you're thinking of Persona 3? It's somewhat similar, although the monsters don't as much destroy the world as feed on people's emotions, although it will eventually attract a big enough monster that it will coincidentally destroy the world. Now, to keep this post on-topic...
214. At Least You Don't Need A Silly Haircut...
Your patron requires you to commit ritualistic suicide every time you wish to use your powers. Of course, you don't actually die if you use Pact Blade, and after the first dozen times you stopped spending five minutes working up the willpower to actually do it, but that doesn't make it any more pleasant. Just make sure you grab the right knife.

215.) A Silly Haircut: After signing your pact, your patron chooses to style your hair. You'll just have to live with having ridiculous hair for all eternity.

216: X-treme Warlock!
Your patron granted you your powers out of boredom, but he does not merely *want* to be entertained; he demands it. Thus, whenever you do something, must insure that it is as 'extreme' as you possibly can. Thus, you cannot simply attack the orc chieftain across the chasm. You must instead swing across the chasm on a burning vine while your patron laughs and cheers you on. Success at these daring acts of foolishness earns you your patrons pride and goodwill; failure in the acts earns you your patrons mirth and laughter, and a refusal to perform the acts earns you its scorn and punishment. You probably won't last long, but at least when you die, it'll be totally awesome.

This would be good for a light/humorous campaign:
217: Shut Up and Watch This for a While:
Your patron has to do some pretty unpleasant things to you to effect the transfer of your powers. In his/her/its mercy, your patron has opened a window to an alternate dimension, revealing a small box that begins to show you visions of a reality that confounds and enthralls you (and provides a distraction from the aforementioned unpleasantness). After the ritual is completed, you dedicate yourself to the ideals or goals of whatever the visions showed you, believing them to be the true source of your powers.
Basically, your patron makes you watch an entire season or several seasons of a TV show while they did whatever was required to give you your powers.
E.G., Iron Chef: You are always on the lookout for new and interesting things to eat/cook, often spending exorbitant amounts of money on unusual spices and ingredients. You insist on preparing all your party's meals, usually making several dishes all incorporating some particular ingredient, which you feel compelled to describe in detail to your party while they eat, afterwards asking them to rate your dishes numerically. You pray daily to Chen Kenmin (the "god of Szechuan cooking"). Your pact blade is a chef's knife. You begin every combat by screaming "Alles Cuisine!"
That was just the show that sounded most fun to me, but you could use any show really. Sesame Street would probably be pretty amusing, for instance.

218: Your Shadow Reflection
You don't move on your own, your movements follow those of your shadow. You learned to force your shadow to move, but it took you a while, and your friends haven't yet exactly understood the reason for your catatonic state. You absolutely hate it when your shadow is diformed by a wall, a terrain feature or whatever, because your body diforms as well to conform to the new blueprint.
The worst part is that you understand that if you have no shadow, because of total darkness for instance, your body would not exist during that time. You're not sure it souls reappear afterwards, and quite frankly don't want to try it.

219) Mister Sandman: Shortly after you made your pact, you stopped having any good or bad dreams when you slept that you could remember. This was incredibly frightening and deeply disturbing at first, but you're used to it now...If only you could explain why your friends and loved ones can hear (and see) you toss and turn in your sleep, muttering things that could only be seen in someone's dreams--or nightmares.

220) Simply Irresistible
You are irresistible to the opposite sex, the same sex or both. No matter the species, from angels and demons to humanoids to dragons. Now deal with mad husbands/Lovers/wives/girlfriends/boyfriends/relatives. Also what sex is your patron?

221) No one has done this yet?
The most common side effects of Dark Pact are:
* headache
* facial flushing
* upset stomach
Less commonly, bluish vision, blurred vision, or sensitivity to light may briefly occur.
As with any Warlock Pact, in the rare event of an erection lasting more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical help to avoid long-term injury.

How is that weird in any way? I haven't remembered a dream for years. I'm told I talk and cry out in my sleep but I cannot even remember anything like a dream in the moring or when I wake up.
Does that mean I'm a warlock?

Perhaps it does. Have you cursed anyone to continual fiery torment, unrelenting tentacle rape, darkness and wailing (with gnashing of teeth), exile outside of the universe as we know it, or continual hallucinations visited upon them by fey who know the scent of fear and who love the taste of dread? If so, then probably. If not...well then you still might be one  . Anyways, back to the pactage. 222. Jinxed: You didn't sell your soul, the memories of your first love, or your firstborn in exchange for the awesome powers of your pact. Instead, you sold your luck. If you happen to find a silver piece lying on the ground it'll inevitably belong to someone who's big, observant, and vengeful. If you're scared of spiders, guess what sorts of foes you're going to end up facing on a regular basis? If you guessed Ettercaps, Llothite Drow, spider swarms, werespiders, giant spiders, Retrievers that are designed to look like spiders, arcane NPCs with spider familiars, and tentacled horrors that have 8 legs big fangs and can spin webs then you guessed right. Odds are that if you walk into a bustling town you're sure to bear an uncanny resemblance to a hated outlaw, a notorious Lothario, a tax collector, or a lunatic. Maybe if your lucky, you can contact Ditech and they'll help you refinance-because as it stands, the terms of your pact suck.
