Disagree with three:

1. Frogs. Real life is much better, by that picture.
2. Area 51. How do you know it isn't that exciting in real life? And David Duchovny's been there, definitely. I saw it on TV.
3. Vending machines. Okay, the superpowers-giving-one is good, but the real life vender has TWIX man!

Isn't the sex symbol somewhat contradictory given the recent article comparing games and their movie counterparts with the films coming out on top?

Yes they used one of my sugestions.

Yay, my videogames suggestion was used! and lol at all of them, especially Mike Tyson. And Hula Hoops, because I don't see myself using one of those shiny metal ones anytime soon.

What about dividing by Zero? In videogames it´s possible (see Megaman Zero series)

to our No1 commenter: because we are slowly running out of things to compare, since not everything in real life is in videogames and vice versa, so we are actually getting near the end
To everyone: 2 new suggestions, both going along with swords from real life:
CRUSADES
Real Life: knights fighting knights
Videogames: ALTAIR killing EVERYONE (yes, I just WENT THERE)
Winner: let the audience decide!

and

MELEE WEAPONS
Real Life: Brass Knuckles, bat, sword, crowbar, butt of a gun (yes, this is a gun used the wrong way, but it can still give someone blunt force trauma, like a sideways sword, as in flat edge instead of cutting edge)
Videogames: Gravity Hammer, energy sword (I know we saw that in this comparison, so sue me), butt of a rocket launcher, anything else that can give blunt force rocketing (as in rocket someone off this planet if they get hit by it without needing ammo or fuel)

its funny how some of the editors of this site are always sayn that final fantasy VII is overrated but it gets used in so many of these articles.
