Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Complete Failures Of All That Is Logic

This is possibly the best video ever. I'm in tears with laughter. The way the ball just flies out of those poses cracks me up every time.
In fairness, isn't it the case that Hulk et al. are pretty much invariably depicted hitting other superpowered creatures, or guys in fantastical body armour etc.? I can think of a few comics which try to depict this sort of thing semi-realistically, like Garth Ennis' The Boys or Straczynski's Supreme Power, were people get torn to pieces or practically explode when struck by people with super-strength.
Speaking of snow, why are people able to jump out of snow as easily as they do on normal ground?
And ice! My god, ice! Why does it always make people slide forward for long distances? This isn't what ice does. When you jump or walk normally on ice, what happens is very simple: You land on your ass.
Polygons and pixels shrug off burns like nobody else.
This is beautiful.
enough of this 'games don't model the real world exactly haha!'
I'm aware of how randomness works, but it's still annoying that you get to fail twice in a row when the move is 90% accurate.
If you swap the numbers you just said a computer and a human would get you wouldn't be far from truth because it's so random both are likely to get those numbers. Only it's less likely that a human would get two of the same number in a row, unlike the computer's case.

Doesn't it mean that given a large enough sample size, 60% should emerge from the data?
A task for pokemon players: tally every success/failure of your % moves and get back to us after a hundred battles.

I've sent monsters flying a good 300 feet using certain abilities. If you activate a Battle Shrine and have some melee buffs on you, there's a good chance you won't see them ever again. Works especially well with Mynads, which I've launched over buildings and tall rocks.
I fell into a dozen bottomless pits when I had Hover equipped because an ant sneezed in my direction.
That would be Asuka's ending, featuring Jin "Cleavage Examiner" Kazama. You know what makes it worse?
The only failure I can think of is how, in Ridge Racer 7, if you drift off the top of the raised bridge on Southbay Docks just right, you'll drop to the ground as if you have the Downforce plug-in i.e. you drop like a stone and lose far less speed. If you don't do it right, however, you end up getting 10 seconds of air-time, and most likely cross the finish line before touching the ground.

Oh my God I have been looking for this forever.
Where is the wonderful, wonderful site where the whole thing is kept?
I've been trying to figure out where this horrible, horrible screenshot came from for ages:
I'm not sure my life is any better from finally figuring it out.

Thank you, sir!
I mean, sure, knocking a bad guy thirty feet into the air with a shotgun won't happen in real life, that's why it's awesome.
Probably because they see it as a waste of time, assuming that over a large enough testing field, you'll wind up with the numbers that the developers told you it was to begin with.
It's like the sped-up results of a Toribash match between Helen Keller and Stevie Wonder.

It's fun when it happens in Saint's Row 2.
It's ridiculous and immersion-breaking when it happens in Fallout 3.
I remember the least weird fighting game I ever played.
It had bullets.
Main character bitched about the gay-ass bloodsports he was participating in(not a real quote), killed the dude responsible for it, and went off with those of his fellows he convinced not to fight(ie, people you beat using your fists)
It was weird because fucking LOCATIONAL DAMAGE AND GUNS IN A FIGHTING GAME, in the same way that playing Dark Sun:Shattered Lands/X-Com is weird for people who spent sixty dollars on Oblivion/gay RTwP "Strategy" game.
If someone could name this game I would thank them.
Tekken 5's endings are magical.
Pure insane magic

Damn.
Usually, when the Japanese do crazy stuff, it's just stupid. But sometimes they get it juuuuust right.
This is the best videogame ending that ever existed.
The whole game is magical. I mean, kangaroos and pandas? Invisible dinosaurs? Granted, that was the really crappy movie, but that ratchets the weird up to 8, easy.
Contrary to popular belief and the TTGL School of Thought, ridiculous is not always immediately and totally awesome.
It is, frequently, but it must work with the rest of the elements in the game. Otherwise, every game would just be an unending ride of the same ridiculous, over-the-top events over and over again, and they'd all sell fantastically well. It's about striking a right balance. Same thing for logical games (of course, a lot of people, myself included, enjoy simulators, which are both profoundly logical--if done right--and more immersive than any game where you punch someone into the troposphere).
[/pointless opinionated diatribe]
The most painfully awkward 10 seconds ever. Or at least in Tekken.
"Hay guys, the bosses of our last few games were pretty weak. Let's make this one the most spectacularly irritating thing in the world!"
KOF Boss Syndrome. DOA4 pulled it as well.
It also took about seven-hundred-thousand bullets to take down a poorly armored school bus.
Music is the weapon.
That, and absorbing health through contact between your feet and plastic-encased first-aid kits. :winky:
This made me giggle...mainly because I pictured the hulk himself saying it...teehee

Speaking of Metal Gear, and I hope this fits in with the topic, there's a sequence in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake that still baffles the ever loving shit out of me.
There's a sequence where you have to hang glide over a chasm to get to a bulding to the north, however you can only use the hang-glider if the wind is blowing North. But the wind is constantly blowing South. So what do you have to do to get the wind to blow North?
Smoke some cigarettes. You have to smoke cigarettes to change the wind direction.
What's worse is there is literally no indication, ever, that this is what you have to do to change the wind direction.
