HAHAHA...there were a couple that I questioned, then I got to the end and it all made since.

That was awesome, very sneaky

Here'es a list of things that are obviously better in real life than in videogames:

Sex
Drugs
Food
Alcohol

hilarious, rock and darkness are too good.

Golden nanners from DK, 8-bit pears from pac-man vs actual fruit.

How exactly is Dog more interesting then Samus? Dog makes bounty hunting seem boring as hell, Samus makes it awesome, Samus wins. How is real street fighting better then street fighter? One could argue that being in a real street fight is funner then the game, but only in street fighter do people shoot energy out of their hands, so street fighter is cooler

I think that hedgehog (not sonic) is about to someones ass hard.

I dunno, John Wilkes Booth may have something on Altair.

Sic semper tyrannis!

I don't think comparing the Lancer to a real chainsaw was fair because it was more of a gun than a power tool. But then again there's Dead Space so video games still win anyway.

Also comparing modern warfare to WWI was a bit lopsided. Should have gone with World at War.

and Kirby is a fuzzy puffball, not gelatinous

I got one:
VIDEOGAMES

Real life - Awesome (obviously).

Video games for the WIN! except for the hedgehogs, but then again what has sonic been in thats actually been a good game recently? (except for UGC)
h3110  - 9 months 10 days ago 
i agree with all of them cept the street fighting
shinyscizor93  - 9 months 10 days ago 
The real world does NOT win when it comes to hedgehogs. My reasoning: 1. Sonic is awesome. 2. Video games ALWAYS win.

Sex - video game = short, usually PG13-ish.
real life = usually takes longer, you can feel it, actual orgasm!

Hooray for gelatin, whoo! That's why we don't go out into the real world, it just never stacks up well.
