Things We've Learnt From Gaming

[Daedalus1942]

Basically, a thread to discuss things you learnt from gaming. If you want, list one 'jokey' thing and something that it actually taught you. To get the proverbial ball rolling...

Shooting a man 5 times point blank in the head wont kill him, but one to the foot will finish him for good.

AND

I learnt a considerable amount of information about animals from the Zoo Tycoon encyclopedia.

So - your turn.

Jumping off 90 storie buildings, and landing in the streets below with no shattered bones or head trauma is perfectly normal.

In all seriousness though, when aiming with an M16 Assault rifle in games and in real life, you should use short bursts. Alot more accurate, and you don't lose control of the firearm.

I learned that if you encounter errors in life, remove the disk and check for scratches.

Barely touching animals in a vehicle will kill them instantly. (FC2)
Fall damage isn't real.

All Your Base Are Belong To Us!!!!!!!!!!

1 bolt of plasma doesn't burn through your body at all it takes out only your shields

If a nuke is above your base a scary voice from a cyber lady will say "Nuclear launch detected!"

people with crowns on there heads mean if u stab them enough they will fall unconceous and gt bak up with 10% health!!! (even though the burger king didn't)

We learn stuff every day don't we!!!!!!! (n_n)

I learnt that barrel rolls can deflect enemy lazers while not disorientating humanoid foxes at all.

Life would be easier if you just tried a somersault.

"What the heck?"

Never get a good lead in a race, trail in 2nd and then steal the lead.

If you sell your super strong adamant jewel sword to the Local Shop, you can't buy it back because the instantly resold it.

Speaking of stores, all items decrease in value by the same amount except for gold which has the same buy/sell value.

Clouds following you won't have a silver lining, just falling spikey shell monsters.

If ever you kill someone, stay away from his corpse until the live grenade goes off.

 

[WillBiro]

Taking shelter for 5 seconds is a remedy for ALL war-related injuries.

Time is not a river, but rather a raging ocean.

No one else has a mike except for the screaming 8 year old child how claims to have done your mom.

You always run faster with a knife.

Sidekicks and friendly AI are only useful as a detraction if that.

Drawing your weapon means war while punching you to death doesn't even bother the city guards.

 

[Jewely2951]

u can destroy a car with less then 1 magazine of rifle ammo.

Crouching behind a person allows you to pickpocket them without getting caught.

 

[Craig FTW]

When someone gets really mad that you're beating them up, they turn red and get real big.

AS WELL AS

You can't always trust your comrades.
