Freedan Posted: Sun Nov 25, 2007 12:10 am Post subject: What video games have taught me.... |
|
|
Just for kicks, I thought I would start something up on lessons learned from video games. I'll add some more myself once some others do, but for now:
I've come to the realization that all video game characters are descended from some kind of feline ancestor. That's the only possible explanation for the cat-like fear of water they seem to have.
Grand Theft Auto, Zelda (pre-flippers), Castlevania... no one can tolerate a little H2O. Even Frogger - a frog - is killed instantly on contact. Either they're all made of cotton candy, or my ancestor-theory was right.
Feel free to add some more, and I'll put in some more later on. ![Cool Guy](images/smiles/coolguy.gif) _________________

Ohh videogame tropes!
There is a library of such stuff in the videogames section of this wiki. _________________

You killed my thread.
That'll be a lot of good reading, though. ![Cool Guy](images/smiles/coolguy.gif) _________________

I'll revive your thread, dark knight!
Video games have taught me that if people die in an epic battle of awesome epic proportions, you can throw a feather on them and they'll live again!
...however, that doesn't apply if you get stabbitied or get food poisoning. _________________

Video games have taught me that if you need a powerful sword to destroy a somewhat powerful enemy, don't pull out the sword, or he'll get stronger. Just visit your local fairy for some silver arrows. _________________

I've learnt that if you're fighting a very feminine, but male, antagonist you will always end up triumphing if you're an emo, but you'll likely lose someone that was close to you. ![Cool Guy](images/smiles/coolguy.gif) _________________ It's high time I revised this signature. |

I've learnt from Luigi's Mansion that your anus has an infinite storage capacity. ![Laughing](images/smiles/laughing.gif) _________________

Dude, same as Kimahri's ass on FFX. I'm replaying it, and I always lol at the fact that items seem to come from his thong.
...or Lulu's boobs. _________________

video games have taught me that if you have a big sword, you will inevitably save the world from some sort of great evil that is only awakened every few millenia.
