Things you learn from video games

My DS has taught me that poking a large dog in the face with a little stylus will make him fall asleep...

*tests theory...*

*eep*

My DS has taught me that poking a large dog in the face with a little stylus will make him fall asleep...

What game is that?

Im thinking the same thing! I will try it out on my dog as well! lol

Wario Ware!!

That giant cold coins can be found littering the streets.

Games taught me that I live in a different world.

Games have taught me how to survive a zombie apocalypse.

Well, games and the 20 odd zombie movies I watch regularly.

It also breaths the necesarry anger, violence and calculating frame of mind I will need to thrive in such an apocalypse.

games have taught me that if you dress up as a raccoon and squat you will turn into a statue!
oh and that people will always be happy to let you into their house despite you smashing their pots, stealing their money and carrying a sword

I do that anyway

lmao

The most powerful fighters always wait until you have acheived a near-impossible, flawless win record and/or killed a certain number of opponents before they appear in your presence and beat the crap out of you.

The enemy always leaves weapons or powerups lying around for no reason other than so their bitter enemy can pick them up and defeat them with it.

"Bosses" always hire henchmen weaker then they are to do their 'muscle work'.

Well, let's say I try my hand at this, shall we? I think I'll use some recently played games of mine for inspiration (like TimeSplitters: Future Perfect) and will continue off from Baseballfan1456's list of twenty.

21) If you point your gun in the general direction of your target the bullets will always lock on to it. This applies to any weapon, including grenades, bricks, baseball bats...
22) Monkeys can be quite skilled with machine guns and explosives.
23) Speaking of which, it's very hard to snipe watermelons off a monkeys head while they are moving - without hitting the money.
24) As evil and powerful as your arch rival may be, they are usually as dumb as a rock and only take a little brain power to figure out how to defeat them.
25) If you can't go any farther, you must have missed an important powerup, weapon, or item.
26) For being dead, zombies have uncanny accuracy with a shotgun!
27) Even if you cut, knock, or blow off a zombies head they still might survive. In this case they can still find you, so you just wasted your time on that...
28) Grunts don't die, they just go back to hell and regroup.
29) If you break something, don't worry. Next time you restart everything will be fixed again
30) You are capable of defeating, by yourself, any creature, weapon, or device in the known universe and other dimensions. You only need to find the proper weapon or pick up the next upgrade or powerup.
31) Enemies dozens of time larger and stronger than you can be taken down within 10-20 minutes. Afterwards you can raid their corpse for items, health increases, or various powerups.
32) All enemies carry ammo, health, food, or items with them. It's all just a matter of beating it out of them.
33) With the right tools you can control time, the forces of nature, and just about anything else. No previous knowledge or training is necessary to use the item properly and to its fullest extent.
34) If you can't beat the boss, restart from your last save point and level up some more.
35) Talking hedgehogs can run over 100 miles per hour, but the blue ones may need to use a power ring first.
36) Power Stars make you stronger.
37) Red mushrooms make you grow bigger, while green mushrooms give you an extra life. Don't eat the purple mushrooms though; they shrink you instead.
38) If you jump into the air and hit your head onto a brick block coins may come out!
39) Look for special caps around you, they may give you special powers.
40) You can kill a person with five shots to a limb, 2-3 shots to the chest or back, and one shot to the head or neck.
41) If you toss any kind of mine onto your opponent they will run around waving their arms into the air... at least until you blow them up.
42) When adventuring out in the world, if you come across any item with a +stat, make sure to keep it. If it's weaker than your current items, sell it for a high price.
43) Always go after someone while they are reloading, because you know they were thinking the same thing
44) If the person you just shot drops coins, grab them before someone else does.
45) It's perfectly safe to drive your car 140 mph down city streets. If you crash, you'll just reappear somewhere near the crash.
