(ok.. found this on another forum, just thought I'd share. )

ON THE OTHER HAND:

In real life people don't say the same phrase over, and over, and over, and over in the exact same inflection.

In real life if you feel like talking to somebody, you can talk to absolutely anyone you come across. They don't need to have anything floating over their heads, and they probably won't shake you off with a generic comeback such as "I can't talk now". What's more, you can choose freely what you say!

In real life, if you're hanging out with your friends, and you try to cross the room, they'll move out of your way automatically. There's never any need to keep walking into them until they get the point.

In real life, if you go to the store there's usually more than eight or nine products you can choose from. And they don't have policies on how much of each item you're allowed to own at a time.

In real life, if you have your back to the wall there are no "camera" issues preventing you from seeing what's immediately in front of you.

In real life, if you're running along and you partially run into a barrier - say, the lower half of your left leg collides with one of those 'caution: wet floor' signs - you won't keep running in place until you change direction and go around the obstacle.

In real life, if there's a three-foot-tall boulder just underneath the fence behind which is your destination, you never have to wonder, "Can I get on that thing?". There's no chance that if you try, you'll slide down the boulder like it was protected by some kind of force field. As a matter of fact, anything that looks like it could be done by a semi-functional human being can be done! There's no overlord anywhere declaring "Sure, you can shimmy up that drainpipe, climb through that vent, even run straight along that sheer wall - but you can't climb over that log, because that's not the way you go".

And finally, in real life you're not being constantly attacked by giant multi-coloured spike lizards from some fantasy land/outer space/another dimension/what-have-you.

There is no pixelation in real life, and your framerate will never lag out.

unless you really want it, or get hit in the head.

Ok, if you get hit in the head and see pixelation and "framerate lags", You need to get away from the computer more.

yup, time for a "defrag".

Cheater.

I dunno, those snakes drop a rare/ex +2 Legendary NoS System that works good against aggressive drivers.

Good lists. I think they could easily be much longer and better though.

8. Your life does not have cool background music that changes depending on the situation.

Oh, but it does.

My favorite.

3.There is no save checkpoint, when you f*** up you are screwed

This is probably the one I wish we had most in RL (but perhaps with a limited use policy).

In real life you can't play with the buttons at the end of your massive black throbbing Joy Stick for hours on end recieving immense pleasure at every twist and turn.

In real life, you can't jump super-high to get anywhere in a single bound.

In real life, you can't speed up or slow down at teh press of a button.

In real life, you can't blast away ten robots at once with a gun the size of the state of Texas.

In real life, you can't fly space ships through space, shooting down enemy ships and robots with seemingly infinite ammo in your main laser cannons.

In real life, not every opponent will go down with one hit. Usually it takes a good pummeling to literally beat someone to death.

In real life, the enemies you defeat in battle don't simply vanish after a few seconds.

In real life, you cannot take more than one shot and keep going. If you get hit in the right place, you could die in less than a second.

Thought I'd throw some of my own in.

Don't know my parents do you?

In real life you can't run and fire a gun accurately at the same time.

Of course, you mean "loses".

"Loose" is the opposite of "tight", and can't be plural, unless you are referring to how many time the word "loose" appears on a page.

Do you enjoy being repeatedly ass-raped, Mobitroll?

I don't think there is a point to trolling back at Mobius, everyone knows Duper meant "loses" nobody cares about one of the more common typos on the net except spelling nazi post-and-run trolls.

If you're going to be a grammar nazi, at least be entertaining about it.

OH!.. is THAT what he's refering to. .. WTFE ..

really .. this is one of the few places i don't worry too much about spelling of grammer. i took english in college and did very WELL in it. Just don't go dangling your participles here. save that for the NHB forum.

*eidit* NAZI THAT!

ONNED!

in real life when you talk smack to someone you probally will get punched in teh face.

in real life dead bodies do not clean up after themselves

in real life no one leaves the key in the ignition on every vehical

in real life hostages are not flat and always facing you

In real life you can't twist your body slightly, lean forward or backward (personal preference) and turn slightly left or right to increase your momentum by 2.07 times.....in any direction!!

In real life you can't tap your gas pedal at just the right rythm depending on the vehicle to go faster than someone else in the same vehicle!!
