-in the future, you will be able to jump twice as high even with a full suit of green armore

-the better you are at killing people
the better armore, perks, guns you will recieve

-the little circle, square, or compass in your eye is actualy a minimap,
with it you have a bird eye view of everything and people are reprensented by dots of colors

-No matter how smart you are in war or how many enemy soldiers you kill, you will never EVER get promoted no matter how retarded the seargent is

-If you shoot your dad's best friend with a BB gun, gallons of blood will pour out of him and eventually, he'll become 'unconcious'

-Even if you plant four mines, throw five frags, and then shoot it all with a rocket, all semi important people will become unconcious and not dismembered into 50 pieces

-no matter what weapons you have in your possession, you will never get farther in the dungeon unless you have a key.

-no matter what time of day it is the person you need to kill will always be in the same room of the same house just waiting for you.

no. 78 is mine! i suggested it in the previous 101 things weve learned from videogames. if you dont believe me, go look.

and how about all soldiers you are fighting with that don't wear helmets are invincible?

or as long as you have at least 1 ring left, you can only be killed by falling down a hole, you are safe from lava, missiles and giant spikes

Bad ass terrorists guarding top secret facilities cant notice 3 floating green lights formed in a triangle

I cant resist, i gotta say this one!

-Smash an arcade machine to pieces or table & chairs etc, you may find fruit inside them such as apples, and if your really lucky a roast chicken!

-Apples do not float.

ive got some good ones
"even though your allies are killed with 2 shots from a pistol you can take up to 4 rockets to the face before your death."

"some of your allies you can kill with one punch to the toe. but if they have any significant difference from the others(ex.no helmet,white armor,a hat,or a beard)they are invincible until one soldier specifically charges at them with a knife they die."

"a soldier who kills an invincible teammate is also invincible until he kills someone."

Here are some:

-When the zombie apocalypse comes, civilians will have the time to establish small rooms loaded with first aid kits, and military grade rifles and with heavily armored doors.

-Gigantic creatures can gracefully glide as long as they're wearing a small glider on their back.

-Sometimes, it takes a whole clip of ammo from a powerful gun to kill someone.

-Umbrellas work just like parachutes.

-People have 5 times more blood than scientists say.

-Modern day military firefights usually consist of two teams of 10 to 20 people running around with different highly powered guns who all have special abilities.

-You may take as long as you want when responding to something someone said.

-When someone stops to talk to you, everything in the back ground freezes except for the weather.

I've got a few

1.EVERYONE is right-handed
2. 95% of the conversations you have in your life are entirely one-sided or you can only respond to yes or no questions, additionally 95% of the time you can respond to a yes or no question you are forced to answer yes.
3. Whenever it is time to kick ass, you will be out of bubblegum.
4. When you talk to someone they will repeat the same sentence over and over again until you do a key action.
5. Between the years of 1995 and 1999 all breasts were triangular in shape.
6. If you are a princess, you will be kidnapped ALOT.
7. you can look at the sun for hours on end and not go blind.
8. Contrary to popular belief, a day is actually considerably shorter than 24 hours.

This is getting old. It could pretty much be called "Weird things we see in GTA!", and the effect would be just about the same.

Sometimes trying to look up makes you look down and vice-versa, this can be disorientating... but don't worry, stopping time and selecting the correct option from the text that appears before your eyes will remedy this.

Free will is an illusion. No matter what you choose to do, life always ends the same way.
Cernunnos  - 10 months 26 days ago 
alot of the crap in these comments are just plain stupid...


mechanichs are overrated; any vehicle can be fixed from ANY damage by tightening one bolt that may or may not be positioned on the engine.

You can be short, fat and never change the clothes you wear to your job unblocking toilets, but you'll still come home to a hot blonde princess.

In war you always want to get kills andsome perfer to get headshots. The best way seems to be to hold your breath when using a sniper rifleand holding your breath for an oh so steady shot,but at the same distance using any fully aoutomatic rifle perfectly aimedon their head always needs more rounds to be fired.

When fighting in war you may notice that in some god like matter an enemy soilder is under the ground killing your comrades.Then when u die you actully use a camera to watch the enemy soilder that shot you.

it is possible to survive a tank round.

at least one helicopter is shot down that helped you.

Flame throwershave aninfinitesupply of oil but theywill over heat.

The tank you are behind will normally blow up froma missle orsomesort of projectile unless its that important

If your a boss you must place yourself in a room, surrounded by things that the hero can use to kill you. You must lock whatever it is the hero needs to kill you in a chest and hide it in your lair, leaving your most pathetic underlings to defend it, and you must lock yourself in your room, instead of coming out to deal with the hero right off the bat.

Fat Italian plumbers fly, throw fireballs, play tennis, golf, soccer, baseball, and race.

You can carry an infinite amount of items, without having a backpack, sack, or anything that you carry anything in.

You cannot see said items until you equip them, which you will only in one dungeon and never use again

Somewhere there is a little floating creatue who puts rupees in various pots all over the world, waiting for you to come along and break them.

People don't mind if you barge into their home, not say a word to them, and smash all their pottery looking for said rupees.

breaking a floating, rainbow colored ball will give you limiless power, but getting hit once will make you lose it.

Its ok to eat food found on the ground, in fact its good for you.

Ooh! Ooh! I got one:

Evolution does not entail a creature adapting to its environment, but actually growing limbs and defensive mechanisms because it looks cool. Also, the development of these faculties in the new generation will also effect the old generations.
