What life lessons have videogames taught you?

-shotguns are magic death sticks.
-the government is almost always evil.
-Bullet wounds heal in 10 seconds with no consequences if you stand still.
-despite the fact metal is at eye level on your helmet you can still see perfectly fine.
-You cannot turn your head, only your whole body.

-the cake is a lie

- life has a reset button
- never trust your friendly npc co-adventurer.
- always reload
- don't shoot your mates, they don't like it.
- if you shoot place the aim circle on your enemy.
- somethings can survive headshots.

Generals have a magic ability of a camera in space and can make troops follow orders no matter what.

-One person can destroy entire armies and lay waste to the best laid plans.

-One person (usually a ranadom American civilian) can apparently slip through the tightest security.

-Nothing is true, everything is permitted.
-Only cowards and fewls hide in Metal bawkses.

(who else thinks potential)
Everything is better when its 20 feet tall, metal and shoots lasers.

- never freeroam. Always follow the given path
- you can carry ten weapons, while you can't see them on your body.
- always kill the head of the enemy's last.
- recoil is a lie.
- always drive over innocent bystanders

-Herbs/potions/apples/hearts heal everything.

-Guards have a psychic connection to each other to ensure they instantly and globally know if I punched that one annoying guy.

Always reload your gun.

-You are always the most important person in the world and the only one that can end any existing crisis or conflict

-Your dog will find Condoms for you.
-A group of six will fully cripple an entire army.
-if there is an infection, at LEAST one person is going to come out better than he went into it with.
-"We create our monsters, and they come back to haunt us"
-"Band Merchandise is like a wedding ring. Sure, it's symbolic, but it symbolizes a deeper devotion between all involved."

If you kill people little red globes come out of their body, and make you stronger!

If you run out of ammo, open random containers everywhere....

...you will find some.

Zombies are bad news.

A thrown knife or tomahawk can kill if it hits you on your:
ankle, index finger, big toe, calf, knee cap, elbow, wrist, or your gun

Cougars are everywhere, but will only attack you when you don't need to kill them.

Winner!!

Teabagging is fun!

-Ninja's are obvious and always fight in public spaces
-Knives always kill, bullets are just a flesh wound
-CoD soldiers have bionic wrists

If you shoot the bastard in the chest with a .50 caliber rifle, it's gonna take at least 2 shots

There's always something around the corner.

If there is no music and all you can hear is the wind and rain against the window, something is about to come through the windows or wall. And you will now have something soft, warm and squishy in your pants.

A lubed up stress ball?

Shotguns have a range of 5yards. At this range they kill instantly, however at 5.001 yards they loose power and hit like a pea thrown by a 3 year old.

Medkits can instantly heal anything.

you don't need to pee

- one does not have to sleep
- When in doubt use the bigger gun
- dead persons always dissapear for some reason
- always trust the creepy guy in the tavern

-Wounds don't bleed at all, or people explode by being nudged.
-Weapon design has nothing to do with how it actually works.
-Bullets are visible in broad daylight.
-Chemical lights are indestructable.

A weapon once that should, by all means, disintegrate you may not kill you in one shot
When people die, they fly 20 feet then bounce
After you die, you can still flail your arms while falling

Magazines are always instantly reload themselves when you press the reload button, and they are always full until you start running out of ammo.


(WTF, seriously, there is not one game out there that is realistic when it comes to this. Your mags should be half full (depending on how much of one you use) after you have to use them again after pressing reload, or the game should actually show you putting bullets in a magazine to fill it up.

Bodies carry more blood than most pools carry water.

Rainbow 6: 3
You have a set number of mags, not bullets. Every time you reload, it cycles to a different mag, keeping the bullet count for each mag as it was.
It was annoying as hell having all mags with 10 or so rounds...
