Weclock: 1. is fail, Counter-Strike Condition Zero has given some of the best AI ever, it's just like playing the online sans people spamming the mic and having to download fifty billion wav files before joining.

Perhaps but this is a generalisation of gaming intended for humour. It was also released in 2005 on Slashdot.

Firek: So I see you've played EVE Online, then? ;)

Wow this thread has been busy, but yes. I used to play EvE Online for about a year, then gave it up for something a little more fast-paced. I was doing mining and was my corporation's accountant. Was fun at first, but then got very tedious. ><

Never presume wolfs have paws, even if you can clearly see them.
Cows can talk, use tools and even do magic
Making anything in the world can be achieved by rubbing your hands and make a "swchswchswch" sound with your mouth.
Walking from Denmark to Spain will take you weeks, taking the boat from England to Canada an hour or two, taking a blimp will go equally fast.
You may be strong as 10.000 bears, you may have a sword that can slice diamonds...but a wooden chest will only yield to one specific key.
You might be able to swing casually with a two-hander, this however does not mean you can lift a twig.
People spontaneously re-appear 5 minutes after leaving a room.
Watch out for a shrubbery, it might be hiding an invisible wall.
If you die, you will reappear in the last doorway you walked through
Enemies running past you will just resist any form of attack
Dying often is bad for your clothes
All decisions in life can be made with a d6.
Cops can only yell: Halt, Halt, Halt,...
The cake is a lie
The rib bone is connected to...
the arm bone...

If you keep poking people they say increasingly funny things.
If you keep poking animals they'll eventually explode or say something.
The soviets can time travel.
If you make a solid brick wall, it'll disappear.
If you line up 3 or more matching gemstones, they'll explode.
All you need to do to tame a wild beast is stand in a fetching pose and let it bite and claw at you until it decides it likes you.
When you die your body will act like a puppet that has had all it's strings cut.
All you need to do to improve your cooking, is cook the same thing over and over.
The afterlife is black and white.
King kong is real and is actually gods pet ape having a little moment.
Shopkeepers will buy anything.
We evolved from humourously shaped, sexually theme'd animals and not actually monkies.
Every conversation is actually only made up of 3 or 4 dialouge options.
The better quality and rarer your clothes, the stronger, faster and more intelligent you are.
Slow days are caused by latency issues.

Your trusted mentor who you've known as long as you've been alive is really the bad guy and will stab you in the back the moment he's finished using you as a weapon.
The custom made plate armour that used to belong to the 3 metre tall minotaur I just shredded will not only be in perfect condition when I rinse out his body parts but also be a perfect fit for my 1.5 metre female halfling fighter companion
Ammunition reorganises itself in your backpack so you always have a full magazine
The market for second hand arrows is not as good as it used to be
"How appropriate, you fight like a cow!"
You may once have been the biggest bad@$$ in the universe, you just don't remember a single moment of any of it.
You are the chosen one, you have a long history of kicking arse and you're STILL starting at level 1...

Thats because you have to escape from prison for a crime you not only did not commit but don't remember and noone ever tells you about... But you were probably framed by your trusted mentor.
You can put 200 kgs of junk in your backpack and still be able to run and jump, but after the next 10 grams you won't be able to move.
All of the world's Bad Guy Groups are finished with admission so you can't apply for them, therefor they will try to kill you on sight.
