Everything I Know About Life I Learned Fron Video Games
*There is no problem that cannot be overcome by force.
*It it moves, destroy it!
*Piloting any vehicle is simple and requires no training.
*One lone "good guy" can defeat an infinite number of "bad guys."
*Make sure you eat all food lying on the ground.
*You can break things and get away with it.
*If someone dies, he disappears.
*If you get mad enough, you fight 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.
*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 clothing and have great bodies.
*Shoot everything. If it blows up or dies, it was bad.
*Don't worry if your vehicle crashes or explodes; a new vehicle will appear
in its place.
*A thousand-to-one odds against you is NOT a problem.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I laughed. I'm a video gamer from years back and it sounds like something a bunch of gamers would put up to make some good natured fun of themselves. I could only see it being disturbing if you really believed it.

That's FUNNY to people who actually play the games, but I guess if you
don't play and it isn't obvious to you that these are exaggerations of
how critics think people will confuse games with real life, then I
guess the joke goes right over your head.

I sent it because I thought it was funny. It came from a video games
store----like poking fun at themselves.
Had it come from Dr. Phil or John Rosemond, it would NOT have been funny.

Interesting.
I thought it was funny too, and either I'm missing an e-mail (it happens) or
I hadn't noticed the "Is that supposed to be funny?" kind of note at the
bottom the first time.
If critical old guys critical of childhood happiness make critical reviews of
kid-topics, it's just... negative and critical.
If gamers themselves say "Funny, huh?" then it's fun for the sake of fun.
There's an acme cartoon physics list quite a bit like that. It's gone around
for a long time.
A few of them are:
Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of its
situation.
Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation
conforming to its perimeter.
There's a good list with notes and additions here:
http://remarque.org/~doug/cartoon-physics.html
And y'know if nothing else they're an intro to the terminology of physics!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>Eeep! That wasn't me Pam! I was responding to the poster who made the above comment about it not being funny. I thought it was very funny myself, but in looking back at my response it was a poor job of quoting and I didn't say who made the original 'unfunny' comment...So I understand why my name got tagged with it.
