I got a few stupid myths

1.Can you break a skateboard on your head, like on tony hawks American wasteland?
2.I don't know if they tested it, but can you deflect gun bullets with your sword by just swinging it?
3.can a sword be ablaze, like i've seen a few times?
4.Can you make a game station go haywire, then fix it like it was new?
5.And, how long does it take to press a button on a controller all the way in, so you can't use it(my PS2 controller is about halfway like that)?

do a video game special pleazzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i got a myth:
a memory cards memory gets wiped out by a magnet

If you got a video game myth plese post it.

yeah. but have you ever heard that when a x-box 360 the green light that tells you its on will turn red.

yep microsoft lost billions of dollars with the whole "red ring of death" thing

Yeah. Something weird happened to my ps3 and my ps2. Whenever I bring it in to a certain room my ps3 break. Then when my ps2 which was working perfectly broke when I brought it into that room. So i just wonder what happened.Like could a magnet take the data of a disc. What could of caused for both my ps3 and my ps2 break when I brought it into that room.

Ive left the Wii on for a week and it has no fire

Does playing "violent" video games (like first person shooters) make you violent? My mom won't let me get Halo 3 cause of this...

Depends. If your me and you did'nt start playing rated M games until your 11 then your fine. Im 14 and not in one fight. If play at a younger age you probaly will.

If you got any myths about video games fell free to post them.

Also if you have a gadject from a video game such as a sling shot plese post your idea.

I thinl that a magnet wouldn't be able to wipe out a memory card, unless it stored it's memory on something like they use on credit cards.

Myth:
can you take random metals, and "synthysize" the metals into somethingx like a ring or weapin, like you can on Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2?

I'm just going to tell you that the mythbusters aren't going to do the video games myths like "There's this place in that game" or "Theres no people in that game" stuff like that.

There are VERY FEW Realistic video games. Noone has ever became a better soldier, driver, or pilot playing them. In fact, hardcore "gamers" have been proven to be overweight, weak, and simply out of shape to perform general athletic functions...as a result of their constant inactivity. They also usually are always without companonship from members of the opposite sex.

I'd disagree about the better pilot driver etc statement. Pilots are trained using simulators which are in essence games, there is a pc training program coming out for motorsport drivers called iRacing although they don't like to call it a game, in reality it really is because I can go buy a steering wheel and enjoy myself doing laps on a track. There are certain driving sims/games that do help me drive with more confidence and allow me to anticipate a real car's reaction to various inputs.

A 50 cal could easily do that... it could probably blow off the whole top of your body. *by "blow off the whole top of your body" I mean that it would probably blow a nasty hole in your gut and disturbingly enoughyour top half would simply fall off*

either way it's horribly painful

it hurts your eyes and my tv's busted

if u play a sport game will it make you better at that sport???

It will teach you the rules but not help you get any better.

is it a myth that you will gett better in handeling/prevent a accident i the traffic if you play games like halo there you improve ur reaction speed?
