101 Reasons Video Games are Realistic

By gun, I mean field artillery or even an AA weapon. Normally, 3 soldiers operate them, even when a squad is split up, but if the squad only has 1 soldier left and they operate an artillery piece, it will fire just as well as one operated by 3 soldiers

#834: Once a squad is assigned to a gun, even if there's only one soldier, you cannot add any more to it (Blitzkrieg 2)
#835: Actually, nukes can kill a unit. It just takes 2 :p
#836: If you can't find something that's in a book and enter in the right information, you are killed and the game cannot progress (Those really old games)
 
#837: Anti-nuke protesters, there's nothing to worry about. All a nuke does is destroy an area roughly half the size of a small city block. Oh, and all the dangerous radiation disappears in about a minute's time after the explosion.
 
#839: The best way for machines to save humanity is to kill them all off
#840: Thinking machines succumb to human error (Starsiege. If your HERC was so perfect Prometheus, why did it miss several times and get destroyed by my Blaster!? Human error!)
 
for 833, they can kill units.

#841 planes equipped with high explosive bombs that are laser-guided can only knock units down to half health.
 
#844: Bombers and Ground Attack Planes actually are quite good at hitting their target (Blitzkrieg 2)
#845: Fighters can't strafe infantry with their machine guns and cannon and Ground Attack Planes can fight back against fighters, but they can't target fighters directly.
 
#846: China was disunited from 1936 until Japanaese occupation, contrary to the what the official Chinese histories say. (Hearts of Iron II) ;)
 
#847: Sometimes when you're dropped off by a drop pod, you fall through the terrain (Starsiege)
#848: There is nothing below terrain. You keep falling forever
 
#851. Iron Chef is nothing compared to Iron Buttocks. (Mario)
#852. No country ever falls into a civil war. (Civ1 to Civ4:BtS, all unmodded)
 
(#852: there are civil wars in Civ2 though. God I wish they would bring it back...)
#853. Soldiers are only capable of saying a limited number of sentences or phrases, at least on the battlefield, mostly along the lines of "yes, sir!", "affirmative!" or "ATTACKING!!!" or similar phrases.
 
#854: Only you need the best computer system and sensors. Your team mates can fire better than you with only the basics. (Starsiege)
#855: When there's too many lasers flying, the game crashes in order to save the "stress"
 
#856: Everything is rooted on numbers. Everything.
#857: American Presidents' daughters are easy kidnapping targets.
 
#858: Every American President has a daughter
#859: Future settings on Earth are always run by Imperial governments, usually an emperor
#860: New Novaya (Empire Earth)
 
#864: Furniture does not need to be bought at a furniture shop and delivered by a van. It simply appears. (Sims games)
#865: Walls also appear, but without any construction crews or site costs, etc, etc
#866: Roofs can be modified for free, unless it's flat; that'll cost you for the flooring
 
867. There are no resturants in your whole city. (Sim City 4)
868. You don't have to worry about greenhouse effect. (Sim City 4)
869. You can travel through the whole galaxy simply by scrolling the mouse wheel. (Spore)
