 |
|
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.

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.

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.

I've learnt from Luigi's Mansion that your anus has an infinite storage capacity.

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.

Yay for improbable body crevices as storage spaces.

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.
I WANT A SWORD!
