Generally Accepted Gaming Facts

[TheAceTheOne]

If you're playing a horror game of any sort... beware of air vents/ventilation units.

You're never good enough not to be eaten by something behind you as you're warily watching the air vents.

If you're playing an FPS, and your character is silent, you'll usually be the last one left when/after something lurches out of an air vent.

Air vents suck in gaming. However, depending on the game, flip a coin. You might find a good item or three in the air vents (but there's an equal chance you'll face certain death.)

In case you couldn't tell, I've played Dead Space far too much in the past few days.

wherever you are, if you see food you eat it

WIZARD NEEDS FOOD BADLY!

If the boss has a glowing area, it is the only weakness!

Lost Planet Syndrome, is what I call it.

If it's Hack n' Slash, it's a God of War rip-off. I don't agree with this, but everyone says it.
What Metropocalypse said about the X/A is Jump thing.

'X' or 'A' is ALWAYS 'Jump' unless it's Bethesda!

Or if it's the Powerpuff Girls lol.
Edit: OT: The enemy's gate is down!

Only red barrels explode.

Go play Doom.

Water = Death

Nintendo will NEVER re-release Mother 3 in english.
Nintendo will most probably NEVER make a sequel to Mother 3.

Hair and clothes are fireproof.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Glowing red spots. Attack them for massive damage.

If the character model is wearing a helmet or has an otherwise unidentifiable face, they're not important to the storyline and may actually die soon after you meet them.

You'll encounter monsters one on side of the world that will look exactly like monsters from another side of the world. They'll just be different colours.

Any hero in any hack-and-slash or action RPG can spin their bodies around fast enough to create tornados and never appear the slightest bit disoriented. (Wind Waker is one exception that comes to mind.)

If you ever gain control of a character that has handed you your balls on multiple prior occasions, expect him or her to possess just about none of the stats/abilities that they used to hand you your balls.

The drowning music in Sonic games causes nightmares.

1. Whether people like it or not, Halo has made enough money to warrant it's popularity.

Wait. So because it's popular and sells well it deserves it's popularity?
That makes no sense at all. >>

(not to argue whether or not Halo deserves it, just wanted to point that out).

 

[Uberpig]

Left is almost always the correct direction to travel.

Someone doesn't know left from right.

 

[Romblen]

There will always be some one loyal to one console that preaches that every other console will die and theirs will last forever and ever.

Also, if women wear almost nothing, they will be protected. If they wear something that's actually practical, they're going to die in the next cut scene.

You ate too much, and choke on a fortune cookie. You die.

Red is bad, green is good. Yellow, I dunno.
Whatever it is you seek, wherever it is you seek it, and whatever the game might be where you are seeking it in, it will always be in the last place you look.

A quick tip for any Dead Space players: Whatever it is you seek, if it's in the air vents, you're possibly doomed.

Also, "Double Tap". Some things just don't die with one headshot.

 

[VincentMm]

Sonic games will never be good again. He should have stayed 2D.
Final Fantasy developers are no longer interested in making games - just very nice looking, linear, user controlled films.
In WoW, melee DPS will ALWAYS tell the mage to "sheep" a target, then immediately break any crowd control measures.
Skateboarding games are dead.
Tifa Lockheart rules.

Any helicopter you are ever in WILL crash at some point

 

[Coruptin]

Knee high grass contains one of two things:
1. Designated currency for the game
2. Mons

 

[Davey Woo]

The red barrel is explosive.
If you kill me in an online FPS, however you did it, you are a noob, and you have no skill. Even if you're using the exact same methods that I would use.

About the only one I can think of currently.

goldeneye for n64 was awesome
movie games suck
game movies generally are bad

 

[Azaraxzealot]

no matter how hard a game is to you (and everyone you know), there will always be some douchebags out there who will call you an incompetent noob who just "isn't playing the game right."

games based solely on numbers beating other numbers apparently equal "good games"

 

[Retal19]

Eating and Drinking shit will magically heal broken bones, concussions, missing brain matter, and anything else.

If someone shoots you in the head, it's a good idea to run after them to see if they'll be your friend.

If they look and act REALLY FUCKING AWESOME, they are the Bad Guys, or just some Assholes that won't let you join them for some unknown reason.

You will ALWAYS blow an entire city apart by 'accident' whenever you gain a Tactical Nuclear Catapult.

 

[Firetaffer]

Thief is the best game made in the history of ever.

AT LEAST I GENERALLY ACCEPT THAT.. HMPH
