Whatever you say, bud...

Somehow most games start out with the character your playing as having some sort of amnesia, as everything needs to be explained by the NPCs


Any game that starts out with 'I need to find out what the hell happened to me' instantly loses twenty story points.

Did you know that there are cities and suburbs and schools and roads and people living normal, comfortable lives in Africa? The only people there aren't armed murderers or brutalized refugees, unlike what sheltered video game makers show.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

The best guy in your team dieing a noble death, usualy in slowmotion and someone shouting 'nooooooo!'.

A trippy level with a new game mechanic that is never used again.

A guy on the other end of the radio who only speaks when he has something sarcastic or unencouraging to say.

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

THE MIGHTY GLACIER.

Break the windowsill

The coolest guy in your party sacrifices himself to defeat the final boss, then in the sequel he comes back somehow

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

Double Jump
Wooden Crates
Pressure plates
Power ups
Explosive barrels
Invisible walls
Not being able to swim
Doors that won't open.

Incredible death machine of epic proportional enemy slaying awesomeness.


Can't swim.

2. Mass Effect 3
3. Mass Effect 2
4. Tie between Halo 3 and CoD4
5. Medal of Honor or Spec Ops: The Line

"You can be larger than life. But you can't be larger than death."

When a character suddenly decides "Hey I like blowing things up. Oh look I have a grenade and there are enemies coming towards us. I'm going to run straight at them. Whee!"

Blackness Confirmed. You've got soul.


The Ultimate Opinion.

Elevators crashing, stopping, or being interrupted.

Getting to an objective, then needing to gather things for it to progress.

Explosive Barrels.

We mouth the vilest sacrament
And adhere to these tacit skirmishes
All for one day ideal and saffron-drenched
We ate each other's hearts out of serving dishes

When they try to make you think the main character is dead when suddenly *gasp* they miraculously survived.

Timed evacuation missions.

You can take a million hits and survive as long as it's not in a cinema scene.

Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

Now remember soilders!
-Always stand next to explosive barrels.
-Never persue the enemy if they run out of sight.
-If you have an explosive weapon, use it on your teammates.
-If you encounter a door, walk around it but never through.
-Don't shoot at aliens unless they can shoot you.
-If you ever drive a vehicle: Crash it!
-If the player is ever in a cutscene then thats your chance. He'll die in one shot!

Shooting thousands of people without consequences. Also being turned into swiss cheese by bullets and just walking it off.

xCharging Saint
The Saint Effect

Gets shot by one bullet in a cutscene. Injured badly, and/or dies.

Gets shot multiple times during gameplay. Largely unaffected bullet sponge.
