Things you learned from video games

[nife4]

Picking up Hearts will bring you Full life
Life is gained by heart containers
Music is always heard out of nowhere when danger is near
'Shrooms make you grow
You can break brick with your head and it won't hurt
Knifing peope causes the words Ooga Shaka to appear above you
Admins will always abuse their power
Normal people aren't noticable but a Bald guy in a Waiter outfit looks out of place.
If you kill your opponent, and then he kills you, you have to go into a Tiebraker

 

[VictorLazlo]

People leave gold coins inside of masonry.

 

[BladeWalker]

To replenish strength, get healed and revive fallen comrades all you need to do is sleep at an INN. No hospital is needed.

 

[Jmmsbnd007]

You can jump off the Sears tower but you'll be fine if you land on an inclined surface. (Quake 2 bug in some cases)

 

[Black88GTA]

It's perfectly OK to drink 40s and whiskey that you find laying around in alleys.

You can consume as much booze as you can find, and the effects will wear off in <1 minute - and your health is increased for each bottle you drink. No penalties for mixing beer, wine, and liquor either.

If cops are after you, you can run over a gold flashing star, and they'll forget about you.

Your car's engine can be swapped, and the paint resprayed in a matter of seconds to get cops off your trail.

Answering ringing pay phones often presents you with lucrative illegal moneymaking opportunities.

If you're ever short on cash, it's OK to wander into random people's houses and take their stuff right in front of them. They don't mind.

If you're ever in need of firearms, wander around outside for a couple minutes. If they're not there right away, they'll respawn soon.

You never have to take a dump or piss. EVER. Which makes sense, cause you don't have to eat, either.

Any priest can raise the dead, as long as the money's right.

I learned that water chips weren't as rare as I originally thought they were (Fallout I & II).

If you dont die, quicksave.
You can hack vending machines to give you bullets
If you get seen by a security camera, watch out for psy-monkeys!
3 bullets and a lead pipe is plenty to take over an infested spaceship
Guns must be repaired after every few shots
-system shock 2

if millions of dead people infest a village, all you need is a pistol and bad acting skills
-House of the Dead 2

It doesnt matter how many guns you have, how many people you kill, or how many cars you steal and total... when it comes to hookers, 15 seconds is plenty of time to get your rocks off.
-GTA3

 

[xxAgentCowxx]

when youre almost about to kill someone, everything will freeze and then it stops, you will be dead
HLDM

 

[DT4K]

That it only takes 10 seconds for one guy with a wrench to fix a smoldering Sherman tank that has been hit by a couple of 40mm anti-tank shells.

That it only takes 10 seconds for one guy with a first aid kit to completely heal a guy that has been shot through the chest 3 times.

That every soldier in WW2 was always wearing a parachute and could repack it instantly after using explosives to harmlessly launch themselves into the air, then deploy their chute and land on top of a cliffside.

That a bullet fired from a Kar 98 will sometimes go straight through 3 guys in a row, killing each of them instantly.

Was that from FF4 (2)?

Yup.

 

[LordThing]

- That its ok to shoot everything you see as long as FF is off.
- Jumping around (aka bunnyhopping) is a natural way anyone can win a gunfight and doesn't destroy the realism.
- To defend an area is considered unfair.
- Given proper preperation, people can see through walls(wall hacks).
- There is a squadron of planes circling above and a number of artillary batteries awaiting your command at all times. -(Enemy Territory).
- It's not unsual to fight rabbits, plants, slime molds, etc. These things always carry gold and often hide large weapons inside.
- As stated before, people don't mind you moving, opening or stealing stuff in their homes.
- When you attack the main badguy, he always does the same sequence of moves that you need to time to exploit his weaknesses.
- Talk to everyone. You never know if they will hand you weapons/money/items.
- When walking through areas, you can get stuck on small rocks/corners of walls/blades of grass and there is no way to have you turn sideways or step over them.

 

[vmrao]

- The main boss in a game usually has some sort of super weapon or vehicle like a tank, airplane, robot, etc. that he uses.

- You never need to worry about guns jamming or the barrel becoming too hot to operate

- When playing an FPS game, and you use a mounted machine gun, you have unlimited ammo.

- You can shoot someone six times in the chest with a glock and they will still be standing

- Seemingly ordinary humans can call forth fire, ice, or magic projectiles from their hands to devastate their enemies

- Whe trapped on board a space ship there is always a sequence of events you must follow to escape, i.e. get to the engine room and turn on the engines, get to the communications room, activiate self-destruct, etc.

- There is sound in space

- In RTS games, repairing a structure is as simple as ordering a peon to do it. It only takes a few minutes for even one peon to repair a massive structure, regardless of how badly its damaged

- In RPG games all fighting happens in turn based mode, and all combatants wait patiently as each participant chooses weapons/spells with which to fight.

- The only reward for single handledly winning World War 2 is a blank screen with the word 'Congradulations' (misspelled).

- Space aliens bear an uncanny resemblance to cats, dogs, lizards, and even vegetables

- Most enemies can be defeated by simply jumping on top of their heads. When they die, they simply fall past the gound and disappear.

- Your hero can progress through several dungeons, jungles, temples, deserts, and other locales, all the while swinging a sword to kill off thousands of enemies, and never once needs to take a break, not once to even rest his arm.

If you die, you get another chance.

[Chaotic42]

The Soviet military, while thousands of times larger than our own, is filled with idiots.
Seaweed is dangerous.
Don't touch turtles.
It's very easy to die walking down stairs.
You can kill almost anything with Vanish, Doom.
Me-109s don't play.
Don't eat the purple mushroom.
There is a reason that Germany invaded through Holland/Belgium.

 

[Lawrencetan21]

If you hit a chicken enough times, hundreds of chicken will fly out from nowhere and attack you. Zelda.

If you run out of lifes press a to steal your friend's life. Contra.

 

[tk149]

You can shoot an enemy fifty times, and his friend right next to him will continue to stand there and do nothing.

You can make cool new weapons from alien body parts.

Enemy soldiers have a limited vocabulary.
