103:if your fellow soldiers all dissappear,it is perfectly fine to search for them for 99.99 seconds, then return to your normal search route,on your own,at midnight, while a murderer is on the loose to your knowledge, has been sighted within 5 metres of you in the last 3 minutes, but you are sure that you are imagining things even though there are dead bodies littered everywhere. i think this pretty much sums up my day in south africa.

#102: In cases of drastic and sudden memory loss, the infirmed must immediately begin steps to amass 2-9 persons and attempt saving the world despite overwhelming odds.

Amniesia is a symptom of world-savy-itis... and there is no fighting it.

u forgot one thing:

102:halo 3:you may have fallen from space but youll die if you fall in water
thephntm  - 11 months 12 days ago 
if you throw a boomerang with magical properties and it hits an enemy, it will not fall to the ground. instead it comes right back to you, no matter what, especially if you're a tasmanian tiger who fight frilled lizards.

the used the crates and boxes ones a million times they were funny but there could have been some other ones like no matter how many times u die the only way you win is is the enemy dies first

"30. No girls."

Yes, because no games have female characters.

I didn't get number 47; Bus-loads of people will turn up to a mostly empty field to see a man in a hippo costume stand next to a mail box. Can someone explain?

I wish 71 was true....so much....

I really think you forgot a few important ones about driving, even tho im not a fan... -Crashing your car in walls causes no visible damage and doesn't your performance.
-Flipping your car over is only a minor inconvenience as all you have to do is wait for it to reset in the middle of the road.
-Crashing rivals into walls and doing cool stuff allows you to go faster.
-Keep your first car, its enough to beat nearly any races...

While in combat, everyone will stop what they're doing so you can target an individual body part.
