I would like to know if there really was a paekustan in Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. If they test it, they shouldn't be allowed to ask the programmers where it is. Just a long, hardcore search of the files.

Hello people reading tthis. Currently im seeing what happens if you play video games 2 days straight. Ill see what is happen. I will still be eating stuff. If you want to see me playing video games go online on ps3 and i'll be playing cod4.

Ever two hours or so i will check in to tell you what my mode is. i'll tell if i fell sick. Lastly i'll tell you if i fell like im going to die. I'm testing this myth.

Here are a couple of myths that could be busted...

1. Sticky Grenades

2. Would one small hand sized piece of C4 really blow through a Tank's armor?

3. Does a cigarette (or any equivalent) really steady your aim? Is there really a special pill that could steady your aim of a weapon?

4.would hitting someone with the butt end of a weapon really cause that much damage? Even if they are wearing Military grade protective equipment?

5. I know they shot a series of weapons at a propane tank and it did nothing, (probably because the bullet is lead and doesn't like to spark, too maleable) But if there was a steam vent, would it really rupture and spray the enemy with steam?

6. How closely does a game like Gran Turismo 4 or 5 mimmic the reality of driving a real performance car?

I would like to see a few things tested:[LIST]
  • Since people keep accedentaly throwing wiimotes, how much abuse could it take before breaking?
  • I heard a story that a guy was playing wii while drunk and accedentally threw a wiimote and broke the guy's ribs.(true)
  • Can people get viruses onto your console while you are surfing the web on it?

    I think they should test a myth where the gaming station failed and a person opens the place where you put the game in and the disk is still spinning and flys out of the loader and beheads a person.

    How could that happen? When I eject discs from my Wii, PS2, or Xbox, they come out dead still.

    I've got a few funny myts too:
    are there man portable chain/mini/gatling guns? (i.e. multi barrel)

    could you really outrun an explosion? Like where a base explodes, and the flames are chasing you.

    and finally,can people really make better than life graphics?

    I think the Wii remote thing would be a cool test. I remember seeing a picture of a Wii remote sticking halfway out of a plasma TV and wondering how that is possible. Seems like less of an accident and more of an incident of frustration to me.
    Could someone actually swing the Wii remote so hard the strap and the remote would break and end up lodged in a plasma or LCD TV?
    The other thing I'm wondering is if those new Wii remote jackets actually make a difference in the remote's resilliance.
