Video Game Survival Guide: Vol I

300: When in doubt, pause the game, go to options and reduce the difficulty setting.

300a: Except if you're already on the easiest setting.

 

[Macgyvercas]

42: Always assume your life is in danger at all times.

 

[Jamieson 90]

When someone says "I have got a bad feeling about this" expect bad shit to happen

Everything that is not nailed down belongs to you.

If it can be pried up, it was not nailed down.

 

[Sovvolf]

Bullets coming from pistols will be far more powerful then bullets coming from a machine pistol/sub-machine gun or assault rifle. A 50cal mounted machine gun will do less damage then that of a 50cal sniper rifle.

Shooting most people in the legs will have no effect other then hurting like hell and said person will be able to walk fine and even run. Same goes for shooting people in the hand or heart.

 

[xbeaker]

Traffic laws are arbitrary. Police will either:

enter into unrelenting pursuit of you on sight regardless of what speed you are going, or if you were commiting any violations at all.

OR

they will ignore all traffic violations and give chase only if you strike their car (no matter how soft) or perform homocide in direct view of them.

Every space ship, space station, or space outpost is infested with aliens. No one ever breaks off communication due to a simple equipment failure.

 

[Lolth17]

7331. If one of your allies starts flirting with you, you're going to get the option to let them die soon. Only do this if you've already completed their romantic subplot.

Because if this is a Bioware GAMEPOCALYPSE, they will turn up again and be annoyed that you've moved on to someone/thing else.

7332. Furthermore, if this is a Bioware GAMEPOCALYPSE, being dead for 2+ years will mean that you can totally rearrange your facial features/skintone/hair without confusing anyone, so go crazy with that.

 

[Lifefable]

378. Snipers are a reclusive race who prefer high altitudes with a woodland settings to enhance their natural camoflauge, they are most vulnerable when mating with their "Scopes"

 

[Joshroom]

379. Just because you only have a sword doesn't mean that you can't take on and defeat: giant crabs, men with guns, massive monsters that make godzilla look small and Sepiroth. It just might take a while.

 

[TimeLord]

91. Search every generic container, box or trash can, you will find the most unlikely things

 

[xbeaker]

Food never really spoils. Eat anything you find laying around.

 

[Kill100577]

000- If you or a character start boasting about how easy that was, before you reach the base/ship/tank you will either
a)get sniped and die
b)get sniped and be saved just in time
c)suddenly hear someone say "what was that noise" and prepare to get royally screwed

 

[Lazy Kitty]

int x = ++previousNumber;

x. You can carry an unlimited amount of items without them getting in your way. So stock up on health potions and resurrection phials.

 

[PAGEToap44]

Don't drink irradiated water. Its stats are bad.

 

[AnAngryMoose]

776: Don't trust all doors you find. Some may just be textured onto a concrete wall and no amount of lockpicking/whatever other door-breaking abilities you have will solve this.

In case of such an event, look for a door which has some 3D geometry and preferably a green light above it. These will likely be exits.

777: If you come to a fork in the road and one way is most certainly the right way, go the other way. It will more than likely lead to a dead end with a few useful things such as a healing item, ammo or money.

 

[Sovvolf]

Traffic laws are arbitrary. Police will either:

enter into unrelenting pursuit of you on sight regardless of what speed you are going, or if you were commiting any violations at all.

Driver reference?.

Don't worry about space, guns just magically appear and disappear at will.

If being chased by police, just hide for a few minutes, then all crimes are forgiven and they will completely forget that you had previously killed three of there friends and put a good amount of bullets in them too.

In conversations, the bottom option is always the evil option. The top option is always the good option.

65535. Crowbars Open Anything, Just hit it a few times
421. Grab Pills whenever possible
845. Have Gun, Will Travel

 

[TimeLord]

300: When in doubt, pause the game, go to options and reduce the difficulty setting.

300a: Except if you're already on the easiest setting.

300b: If both previous parts apply, you should pick a different game to play
