GamerBlipsHint: Running around creates obvious movement. It also creates a space behind your back, which you can't see into. So in other words, you're highly visible and incredibly vulnerable. You do the maths.

Trying to drive racing games with the accelerator on full the whole time
There's only one racing game where this might work and that's Burnout. But even then you'll need to tap the brakes to get drifting. Slow down for corners and your car will go faster round the track. Odd, that.

Pressing left when Sonic's on the ceiling
He's upside down so the controls are reversed. Get it? So if you're running right and he starts going around a loop, you've got to hold… what? RIGHT.

Don't worry about the old lady, dad. Or the speed limit. And you don't need to stop at the lights. Erm... shall we play something else?

Trying to play during a cut-scene
It's a story bit. No, just wait a minute. Watch it - it's like a film. Quick - you're playing again! Oh no, you died. Ah well.
Above: Probably best not to let a rookie play an MGS game
Trying to play during the demo
"Oh, I thought I was doing really well"
Above: And then the game just stopped after 30 seconds and went back to the title screen! I think it's broken
Moving the 360 while it's switched on
Because you needed another coaster for your coffee mug, right?
Above: See that coin in the surface? No? That's because it's a RING
