(+) Yeah! (+)

Walking while crouched is totally an easy thing to do and actually makes it harder for other people to see you.

The boss has conveniently stocked the room before him with supplies and health for you

This gate is held closed with a twist tie from a loaf of bread. You must find another path.

The basic Insurmountable Waist Height Fence is an obstacle, usually between ankle and chest height, that should be reasonably easy for any able-bodied human to traverse, but the character(s) can't climb or step over simply because the game doesn't include such an action.

Eating random food you find on the ground is good for your health.

-Wearing heavy body armor slightly impedes your horizontal movement but does absolutely nothing to impair your jump height.

You never need to fart. Or alternatively, you can fart any time you want.

Heavy equipment is only heavy when actually in use. Simply carrying stuff around has no real weight.

How often do video game characters need to relieve themselves?
There may be toilets, but no-one ever uses them.

I remember this blowing my mind when Brainscratch pointed out that the iron boots only get heavy when you put them on. Id never thought of it that way.

Kill an enemy on the street in full daylight and nobody cares. Kill a civilian, that looks exactly the same, and a helicopter will pick you up and throw you in jail in seconds.

Character: Hurry! The worlds going to end in 10 minutes!!!

Me: *runs the opposite direction to do side quests for 10 hours*

• 9 elephants fits on the boat, 11 archers won't.
• Hitting stone walls until it caught on fire
• Hammering a burning building to restore it

I don't think this one is too crazy assuming the pieces that don't work in one do work in the other.

• Can't get an enemy airplane chasing you can off your tail? Simple. Pull your plane into a loop, jump out of a plane at the top of the loop, take out an RPG, shoot the enemy plane, then get back into your plane as the aircraft comes out of the loop.
• Or jump out of your airplane, aim your sniper rifle at his air intake between your legs, shoot him out of his cockpit and steal his airplane as it catches up to you.
• And then if you need to fill an empty seat in a two seater, tell a buddy you are coming to pick him up, dive at him, fly five feet above the ground and zoom at him at 300 MPH. He will either get ready and hit the enter button, comfortably ready to help you destroy your enemies or you get docked for fratricide. If it is the latter, oh well, just tell him to try it again when he respawns. Note that this was an accepted tactic in Battlefield 1942
