EDIT: this was meant to answer a question by Warbasse

 

[dontworryaboutit]

It's totally acceptable to load up on guns, fly a helicopter onto the roof of a tall building and start killing everyone you can see.

 

[clicketycrack]

That if you shoot a raider in the head all of limbs will shoot fifty feet away and the torso shoots 20 feet in the air.

 

[The Political Gamer]

That if it moves, KILL IT!

 

[Darkblaven]

Oh, also I learnt that if I do something right I will hear a "Bleep-bloop" and something saying "achievement unlocked"

 

[The Shade of Time]

Team Fortress 2 has taught me a few things
1. No one can outsmart bullet.
2. Grass grows, Birds fly, Sun Shines, and Scout hurts people. Also hes a force of nature.
3. Professionals have standerds.
4. Bad demomen can't tell you why they are bad demomen because they wouldn't be sitting there discussing it with you.
5. The answer is always to use gun, if that doesn't work, use more gun.
6. Any time a bunch of animals are in one place its called a zoo, UNLESS ITS A FARM.
7. Spies like the Scout's mother.

So technicly You've learned nothing from games

You've learned from Machinimas

 

[zanzix24]

first off, Banjo Kazooie taught me how to read.
2. if your guild leader tells you to not fish up lurker while everyone is buffed up and waiting to start, its probably a good idea to to listen to him. but its a funnier idea to fish up lurker and see what happens.
3. if you stab someone in the back with a butterfly knife, they will fly 100ft in the air.
4. there is ALWAYS a spy behind you.
5. there is ALWAYS a sniper on you
6. there is no such thing as reloading too much
7. war never changes, unless its a nuclear war, in which case, shut up

1. if you throw a peice of metal in front of you and hit it with a wrench eight times, it will transform into a high calibre turret with missiles attatched. (TF2)

2. You cant move and shoot at the same time. (RE5)

3. When you stab someone, they dont bleed, instead theres a coloured flash, depending on the game. (Various sword/beatemup/fighting games under 15+)

4. A chainsaw is a far better form of murder than thirty bullets to the face. (GOW1-2)

5. "They didnt move like any zombies I ever did seen before!" Couldnt resist, sorry. (RE5)

6. The cake is a lie. (Portal, common sense.)

7. American soldiers are all ruggedly handsome, with stubble and heroic poses. Whereas nazis always must look like hannibal lector with extra wrinkles who eats babys every hour, on the hour. (COD1,2,3,5.)

 

[vasudean]

Contra has taught me
1. That a bullet in the gun can kill you.
2. That my heart is in my pinkie-toe
3. People blow up when shot
4. To hate the laser power-up
5. To love anything with a spread shot

 

[philosophicalbastard]

War has changed, but some how will allways remain the same.

 

[WeedWorm]

WWII games, Age of Empires and Total War are what got me interested in history cause I learned about stuff from them and then looked it up.

Eat mushrooms and you grow to epic sizes.

*Nods in agreement*

If youre talking about your mind, then yes, very much so.

 

[skcseth]

Always shoot the red barrels, but only when things get too hairy.

 

[Heretik555]

that walking over a red cross will heal all of my problems no matter what.


also that if I need to unlock someone I just need to click on it and say "unlock" (thank you oblivion)

 

[Spirit_Of_Fire]

Games taught me that I can somehow dissolve into a wall.

 

[z121231211]

The cake is a lie. (Super Mario 64)

Everything you feel like picking up will need to be used later. (Silent Hill)

Shiny things are useful. (I forget the game, but I'm sure there are many)

 

[Darkblaven]

You CAN mix two things together and get a super atomic nuke (Any point and click game).
Everyone lies about cake (Super Mario 64, and Portal).
You are pretty much like Chuck Norris (Saints row 2).

 

[NotAPie]

*cough* of course not.
:3 I learned all this from being stupid.

 

[topsyturvy]

Hay bales can save you from 20 story falls (Assassin's Creed).

 

[scorptatious]

MGS3 (my first MGS game I played) taught me that humans are not as pure as the media portrays.
