What has gaming taught you?

That I exert a lot more energy on a fantasy world than I do the real world... :awesome:
Amen to that!

Gaming has taught me that the potency of all my physical and mental attributes can be broken down into simple digits with usually the max at either 99, 255, 999 or 9999.
(Though trying to write a Level-Up-chart for my exercising schedule has proven surprisingly difficult... :shifty: )

Learnt that regardless of how many countless thousands of zerg, protoss and terran im still classed as a rebel.

That a balding middle-aged regular guy can turn into a bearded, full-hair, buff southern rebel leader with no money within 4 years. Similarly, that a balding, grey-haired and probably fat rebel leader slash self-proclaimed emperor can get a full brown hairdo and a beard in the same span.

I liked the old way the characters looked better, I think. Less generic because they were more generic.

That travelling across space to collect stars is possible without any sort of breathing apparatus or pressurized suit or insulation against giant balls of fusing gas emitting absurd amounts of radiation, spherical (or any odd-shaped, eg. dumbell-shaped) masses roughly the size of a house exert the same amount of gravity that an Earth-sized planet has, and that there is a universal currency of gold coins in space.

Also, it is always stars.

That no amassing of highly developed creatures with psionic abilities trumps zerg rush kekeke.
:awesome: Best mission in the game. Also heaviest on one's system.

:awesome: Best mission in the game.

QFFT. I think I held out for ~42 minutes. Was the best 42 minutes ever.

How to die in style. L4D1 versus, only person left alive, tier 1 weapon that's almost out of ammo, tank barreling down on me - let it chase me all the way to the gas station and then shot the gas pump, killing both of us instantly.

Gaming has taught me that with enough will and strength, you can punch that boulder down to save your partner from a megalomaniac.

Addendum:
Amassing of terrans won't do it either.

Talk of a difficulty curve, breezed through most of the game easily, but the last one (or what I think is the last one, the one where
you protect the artifact while it charges
is over nine thousaaand times more difficult. imo.

Also, I suck.

I have learnt through computer games the Latin phrase "momento mori". It was the job of a servant to say this to a conquering general as he was given a victory parade.

It means, "remember you are mortal", or "remember you will die".

^Longest game ever. Good, but interminable.
Still haven't finished it, TBH. =/ Which is a shame, as the MegaTen games are always good, and I want to unlock Thanatos.

I've learned that builds involving throwing a sword bigger than you are as far as you can see are fun as hell.

And that you can kill half a planet in a round with that build if you do it right.

If you have the sneaking suspicion that someone in your party is on the other side and wants to kill you/take you to their leader, kill them first before they get to you.

Knowledge is power. Put another way, you can level a city with the right application of divination spells and metamagic!

If a character reminds you of Gin Ichimaru from their first appearance in-story, do not get distracted by their cool clothes. Else, you may find yourself using them as a user name. :awesome:
