    Default 1000 Things you have learned from video games

    Well since there are three threads like this for total war games why not one for all games either on console or PC? Ok I'll go first. Oh and mention what game you learned it from.

    1.The colossus of rhodes didnt fall down from an earthquake Kratos destroyed it. (God of war 2)

    2.The Titans got overthrown by the Gods and the gods got overthrown by Kratos. (God of war series)

    3. I learned from Doom that circling round a big group of monsters will lead to them beating seven shades of excrement out of each other due to friendly fire and short tempers. Very satisfying when your health and ammo are low and you've used all the pick-ups.

    4. If your gun has a chainsaw underneath, there's really no need to waste any ammo.

    5. In case of headcrab zombie apocalypse, radiators and gas canisters are the way to victory.
    I have approximate answers and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything, and many things I don’t know anything about. But I don’t have to know an answer. I don’t feel frightened by not knowing.

    I know there are three other threads for TW, but I have learned a lot about Ancient/Medieval history thanks to TW (so has my nephew). That would be RTW and MTW2, of course.

    6. In the event of a zombie apocolypse, loud noises such as guns won't alert hordes of zombies, but things like car alarms will.

    8) repeatedly shooting someone in his small toe will kill him

    9) having a deep graveled voice, or none at all, increases your chances for survival in any kind of disaster. Squeaky voices however get you killed.

    10) Cops don't care if you're a genocidal maniac as long as they haven't seen you do it.

    12) a standard first aid kit can treat anything from acid burns over broken legs to big gaping holes in your chest. Except during a cutscene.

    I learned these vital facts about history from Age of Empires.

    16. Every Empire in history started out as five villagers and a cooking pot.

    17. Empires collapsed, not because of corruption, revolution or foreign invasion, but simply because all the trees on the map had been chopped down.

    Interestingly, if you read about the history of Easter Island, this is indeed what happened. The trees part I mean.

    20. I learned from Civ that nuking other civilizations is in fact the highlight of civilization.

    21. I learned from Med2TW that I can ask my nobles for money, 40,000 florins at a time.

    22. In minus 200 degrees celsius, everything freezes except firearms (Crysis).

    23. There is nothing wrong with 8 foot tall pro wrestlers throwing 5 feet tall teenage girls off balconies and stairs, or throwing them in front of oncoming traffic (Dead or Alive 4).

    24. If you gather a bunch of hot women on a tropical island, they will fondle each other sooner or later (DoA Extreme 2 XD).

    Then, as throngs of his enemies bore down upon him and one of his followers said, "They are making at thee, O King," "Who else, pray," said Antigonus, "should be their mark? But Demetrius will come to my aid." This was his hope to the last, and to the last he kept watching eagerly for his son; then a whole cloud of javelins were let fly at him and he fell.
