I got a funny poster for Christmas entitled "Things you learn from video games". Here's the list of things it has on it:

-There is no problem that can be overcome by force.

-if it moves, DESTROY IT!

-piloting any vehicle is simple and requires no training.

-one lone "good guy" can defeat an infinite number of "badguys."

-make sure you eat all food lying on the ground.

-you can break things and get away with it.

-you can push other vehicles off the road and get away with it.

-if someone dies, they disappear.

-if you get mad enough, you can fight even better.

-you can overcome most adversaries simply by having enough quarters.

-you can operate all weapons without training.

-no matter how long you fight, you can always fight again.

-death is reversible(only for you!)

-ninjas are common and frequently fight in public.

-whenever big fat mean guys are about to croak, they begin flashing red or yellow.

-you never run out of ammunition, just grenades.

-all women wear revealing clothes and have great bodies.

-shoot everything. If it blows up or dies, it was bad.

-don't worry if your vehicle crashes and explodes. A new vehicle will appear in its place.

-a thousand-to-one odds against you is not a problem.

and here's a few I came up with:

-"badguys" often don't notice you even if you're right infront of their noses.

-Important things are often shiny, highlighted, sparkly, or have a glow around them.

-the avarage human can jump 8 feet into the air.

-going to the bathroom is unnecessary(except on The Sims)

-If you collect something, you'll live longer!

-you can carry an infinite number of items at one time.

-All of the world can be explored in a 2D or 3D perspective.
-And, one I learned from game making...

- everyone has some kind of problem that they can't solve by themselves (RPGs are the worst)

- to get stronger you must reach an arbitrary number of 'experience points'.

- killing a monster that inflicts poison will make it drop an antidote

GTA probably spawns most of the best ones...
- Guns and armour are easily found lying in the streets.
- Cops don't care if you break the speed limit or run a red lightm, just don't bump their cars!
- If you see a Spinning Skull sign on the side of the road you will be given a weapon with unlimited ammo and a get away with killing heaps of people if you kill enough.
- If you walk into water, you die
- You can steal a train with the press of a button

And out of other games...
- A warrior armed with a sword can destroy a castle made from solid rock
- People can shoot fire and lightning from their hands without doing any damage to themselves
- If you perform the right kind of dance moves you can be rewarded with weapons or invincibility.
- You can't actually go into every building you see. Often windows are decieving and unbreakable!
- When you die you do become a ghost.

FPSs:
-you only have 2 different height positions-stand and crouch, anything slightly lower then crouch is not reachable
-(except halo) you can carry a rocket laucher, a pistol, a soviet, a sniper rifle and 10 throwing knives without slowing down or increasing in mass.
-walking into a dinner party, you can punch any number of windows and priceless vases without notice, but punch a human and everyone knows your a secret agent.
-if you perform any really acrobatic action, you will see yourself doing it rather than seeing it through your eyes
-everyone has a personal militia of look-a-like camouflaged soldiers
-in snow, soldiers wear snow camouflage, anywhere else they will wear jungle gear
-monkeys are capable of operating guns

Adventure:
-in most towns it is customary to tell anyone who passes buy, everything you know
-without saying anything, people will often answer questions that have formed in your mind
-you can get any item you desire buy entering and besting a dungeon
-currency often floats on end just above the ground

Platformers:
-all doors are colour coded to match ther keys
-most things can be acheived by pulling a red leaver
-blocks can float in the air without any support
-princesses are often getting kidnapped by giant turtle-dragon hybrids and can only be rescued by one unarmed person rather than the military

About the two stances, actually America's Army, a free FPS, has three stances: Stand, Prone, and Crawl. Also, if you've ever played that game, you will probably change your mind about only needing two guns.

Yeah, America's army sucked, and it was almost impossible for a dial-up user to beat the levels. Why should I have to enter an online code to save my progress? The best thing was shooting the seargent on the first level, then getting shoved in a shitty little prison cell. Oh yeah, here's another one:
-It is possible to be reincarnated in different parts of the world, as long as you have hit a checkpoint.
-Randomly, everything is destroyed when a master force presses the power button.
-You are reincarnated from the power destruction by going to a save point.
-Everything is much easier than it looks.

same here. halo rules, however.

anyway, some pearls of wisdom from metal gear solid 2:

- eating food makes you feel better and can stop you bleeding
- it is possible to hide a box about your person, unfolding it when necessary in a split second and then fit snugly underneath it, concealing you existence from anyone else
- no one can see more than 2 feet in front of their noses, even when wearing IR goggles
- generals regularly encourage their men to look around the room during the middle of speaches
- to get any information whatsoever you must first endure either the whinings of your menstral girlfriend or some random bullshit from a pansy geek
- if you hold up a man for more than a minute he will decide to take his chances and try and shoot you regardless
- swords can block bullets
- vampires exist
- stories lose all relevance very quickly
- you end up just not caring about anything

- Sod picking things up with your hands, just walking over them will be fine.
- You can instantly add the bullets of a bad guy's clip you just collected to your clip without removing anything from the gun.
- You'll only need use the same couple of fighting moves over and over again.
- Innocent people always dress in white.
- People will eventually die if you shoot them in the foot enough times.
- Zombie bites will infect and zombify any other characters, but as long as your health doesn't run out, you can take as many bites as you want with no ill effects. (something I rectified in Zombies Now I might add)
- You can blow the shit out of any monster or bad guy in your path, but the locked wooden door needs a key?!?
- In FPS, you are just a floating head with no legs.
- Don't worry, enemies will always stand there and let you shoot them, running for cover is for pussies.
- Obviously when there is a lot of action, things tend to slow down and jerk, like in real life.
- People in games are really good at ventrilaquism, and have really good poker faces.
- Instead of moving forward to walk like normal people, retards, type 'W' on the keyboard.

Sorry, I have a thing against WASD. The arrow keys were always fine, and they do exactly what it says on the tin.

-You CAN take 10 bullets to the chest and 2 to the head and still save the world. Twice. And if you take the path in the handy mountain, you can save the universe too.

WASD is there for a purpose-if you are playing an FPS that uses the mouse, the keys to open doors, jump etc are always too far away from the arrow keys, meaning you have to stop moving. If you're using WASD you can press virtually any key in the main bit of the keyboard without stopping.
Also you can't say halo sucks, because it is a good game. You just say it sucks because it doesn't live up to the hype, but if you play it it is slightly better than the average FPS. It doesn't "suck".

halo kicks arse... maybe slightly moreso on xbox, but still the PC version is fun. the physics engine is great, the weapons are perfectly balanced and the weapon carry limit makes it much more tactical.

arrow keys work fine. i can hit ctrl, shift, enter, delete, end, page down, numpad1 and numpad 0 without stopping to look up. couple that with mouse wheel up/down/press and your 2 mouse buttons, and those are all the keys you need for immeditae access; there's plenty of them.

Halo is a way overated game, I've played better Quake/Quake 2 mods. I just hate that people call it the "Best Game EVER!" Because that's FAR from the truth, it's a standard first person shooter that happens to be nice on the eyes.
