Since Wasteland has been getting so much attention lately, it's probably time for a new one:

One does not simply kill the High Dragon in DA2. I'm dead serious,it took me a while.And that was with good equipment,items,and a Spirit Healer. Also,did anyone else KILL Anders in their Playthrough of DA 2? I saved him back in Amarinthe, only for him to kill the Grand Cleric just to prove a point?
yeah it definitely takes a specific team/strategy consistency, there were a couple times where my spirit killer was gang raped in the matter of a few moments so i had to quickload to the beginning of the fight. I did kill him because i found his method lacking and i didn't want to piss off others/the prince.

"One does not simply follow the roads in Skyrim."

What is that? A nice road that will lead me directly where I need to go? Pfffffft - I'm going to climb the hell out of this mountain.

This, so much. I don't think I've ever followed the road all the way to High Hrothgar. I get to a certain point, and then I come across a mountain troll or just get tired of it and go over the top of the mountain until I end up right in front of it. One time I even ended up in their little courtyard in the back.

One does not simply take a break, even if I've been losing a whole lot and I am very pissed at this point.

One does not simply wait foolishly hoping for a holiday deal to get better on Steam.

One does not simply expect the recently closed GameCrazy to have any good used retro consoles on stock and then sell them for anything $30 or below.

One does not simply accept that I have to make an account for both EA and Relic if I want to play Alice and Company of Heroes single player.

One does not simply like the fact that most WiiU Kiosks in the area only have one game demo to play.

One does not simply Finish playing Luigi's Mansion/Mario Sunshine after completion.
One does not simply let Kanye into his Zone [http://www.kanyezone.com/].
One does not simply find enjoyment only once in a game soundtrack I really like.
One does not simply walk casually with their team across The Parish Bridge (I'm so sorry).
One does not simply enjoy the home base missions in Splinter Cell: Double Agent. Seriously, it can't be done.
One does not simply spend money wisely on multiplayer maps I haven't even used because I don't play multiplayer.
One does not simply Start over once in San Andreas/IV or Oblivion.
One does not simply avoid going to Chorrol first every time.
One does not simply leave any expendable civilians alive. EVER
One does not simply feel disappointed about Fighting is Magic. [small]You buy Cider and pour one for your homies.[/small]

Hmmmm...

One does not simply walk past an interactable object without poking it (no matter what it may or may not do).

One does not simply leave a conversation without exploring all of the dialogue options.

One does not simply GET INTO A SLAP FIGHT WITH A BANSHEE AND SURVIVE.

One does not simply walk into Mordor when freerunning is an option.

One does not simply hoard every unique item they find instead of selling it, no matter what its stats are.

I'm honestly not entirely sure how the meme is supposed to work with negatives/double negative at the moment, so I'll leave it to others to untangle the meanings.

That's all I've got for now.

For me it's that I can't leave any side quests behind. I've played almost 10 hours of Witcher 2, and I have yet to leave the first town because of the side-quests.

I have yet to try out Dragon Age: Origins. I dread the moment I start the game.
My very first play through of DA:O doing every side quest took me about 60 hours. My second file doing every side quest was down to 42 hours. I think I got down to ~35 hours on my third playthrough. It doesnt take as much time as you may think, and it's a great game to just play a few hours of here and there

One does not simply wait until the mag is empty to reload.
One does not simply save just "once in a while".
One does not simply use a wide assortment of available skills and weaponry.
One does not simply leave remaining enemies alive.
One does not simply go through a loot filled game without carefully replacing a weapon every ten minutes.
One does not simply stand by.

Some more tropes that I've thought of.
