23. Baddies that are all the same size and build. Yeah, they wear uniforms, but apparently they're all from the same genetic stock, too. How hard would it be to randomly generate different heights and weights?
24. Look at all the guns and ammo I can carry!
25. Pain? What pain? Ah, a medkit! I will smash it against my body or something and instantly be able to endure further bulleting.
26. I constanly hold my gun a little aways from myself, so it always is visible in the bottom corner of my vision. And yet I shoot with perfect precision! Watch it sway gently back and forth as I run around.
27. Unlike most people, I can project my spirit outside my body. I actually see myself from the third person, hovering about three feet behind my own neck. I also drive a car from a position about six feet behind it, my projected spirit hovering and controlling my body within the metal beast.
28. I have amnesia. Who am I? Perhaps these well-placed clues and dialog trees will inform me as to that question that I just asked in the previous sentence.
29. It's a good thing I can't jump over that two-foot high fence, for that would merely detract from the linear beeline I am making to my objective.
30. Killing rats, and lots of them, makes me better at what I do, which is killing things larger than rats. If I didn't kill these rats, I wouldn't be as good at killing other things.

At the risk of introducing some actual humor into this thread...
Everything I Need to Know, I Learned from Video Games
1. There is no problem that cannot be overcome by violence.
2. You can overcome most adversaries simply by having enough quarters.
3. If it moves, KILL IT!
4. Operating any vehicle or weapon is simple and requires no training.
5. "Bosses" always hire henchmen weaker than they are to do their dirty work.
6. If you find food lying on the ground, eat it.
7. You can smash things and get away with it.
a. Smashing things doesn't hurt.
b. Many nice things are hidden inside other things.
8. When someone dies, they disappear.
9. Money is frequently found lying on the streets.
10. All shopkeepers carry high-tech weaponry.
11. You never run out of bullets, only grenades.
12. Ninjas are common, and fight in public frequently.
13. Whenever huge evil fat men are about to die, they begin flashing red or yellow.
14. When you are born, you're invulnerable for a brief period of time.
15. Although the enemy always has more aircraft than you, they fly in predictable patterns which makes it easier for you to shoot them all down.
16. All women wear revealing clothing and have great bodies.
17. The enemy always leaves weapons and ammo laying around for no other reason than so their bitter enemies can pick them up and defeat them with it.
18. You sustain injury if you shoot innocents.
19. Gang members frequently all look the same, and often have the same names.
20. When driving, do not worry if your vehicle crashes and explodes. A new one will appear in its place.
21. Anyone that can't jump over six feet high probably can't jump at all.
22. Even the lowest life forms such as worms, slugs, and slimes carry money.
23. A good way to hurt someone is to do the following: 1. Hold up your hands, 2. (optional) Stomp the ground, 3. A large object (like a rock) will fall from the sky, 4. Catch the large object, and 5. Throw it.

21. Quicksave.
Yeah this quicksave option always annoys the hell out of me. It's almost as if the designers wanted us to enjoy the game or something.

Every building regardless of size or time period has central heating and vents large enough for a grown man to crawl through or even walk through slightly hunched over.

33. I'm a hero, but a plank blocking the road thwarts my climbing prowess!

I'd rather not have a "Hold breath" button, thank you very much. :p
It worked pretty well in FarCry.

34. At roughly mid-way though the game you'll be captured and lose all your weapons. But don't Worry! Despite the fact you've killed hundreds of your enemies, you'll only be locked in an easily escapable cell rather than executed on the spot.

Nothing wrong with the auto-save points in Half Life 2 was there... On any difficulty level.
