4. Medicine became obsolete in the year 2004, when doctors noticed that hiding behind a wall caused human health to regenerate to 100%.
No kidding. I wouldn't be surprised if 10 years from now, you won't even be able to get hurt at all.

80. Flashlights only last for one minute, but thankfully recharge themselves over time.
Oh...this one. Really pissed me of in The Suffering.

26. Large men are slow but strong; women are fast but weak.
Now this is something I'm dying to discuss about, although I'm pretty sure some of you will end up 'rickrolling' the thread into pr0n or which character you wanna sleep with.

59. You can’t ever trip, even when running backwards as fast as you can while firing a shotgun.

This. This and this again. Oh and by the way, THIS! :mad:

70. Even cyborgs/ninjas/special agents able to smash whole cities with their fists and defeat the mightiest opponent in close combat are stumped when confronted with a locked door or box, and have to go find the key.

Yep. :p

102. If you see a weapon or power-up in the center of a wide open space, just grab it. It's not a trick. Honest!

I acree. Things like learning how to use your environment from playing Trespasser, but maybe more for real.

17. Firearms are most simply reloaded by pointing them at the wall and pulling the trigger.
