Gamer Law>Man Law
« on: December 19, 2006, 03:10:58 PM »
(Warning - Health and Safety:  Before playing, read the Gamer Law precautions booklet for important information about your health and safety.  Do not take laws into you own hands, please contact someone who cares.)

Gamer Law

I.  Continue Crooks - NO stealing continues unless given the okay, its not are fault u suck.  (WuTangTurtle)

II. TV J Walkers - Sufficient warning is always required before walking in between a gamer and the TV. NO EXCEPTIONS, that burning building can wait five seconds.  (Zach)

III.  Game Posers – Cheating to beat a game and then bragging that you beat it all by yourself is illegal and punished by the removal of one (1) finger, other than the thumb.  (Mr. Jack)

IV.  The O.C. – Online Cheaters (Counter-Strike) are punishable by death.  (Mr. Jack)

V.  Mario Bros. before Ho’s – Never let a girl come between you and video games; bitches come and go, but Mario is for life.  (vudu/matt oz)

VI.  Spoiler Alert! – Never assume a fellow gamer has reached the same point in the game you’re playing, EVER.  If you talk about a game avoid spoilers at all cost, especially for Zelda dammit).  (EasyCure)

VII.  Buzz Kill – Don’t pause a game without warning.  I don’t care if you don’t know the moves in a fighting game, DEAL.  It ruins the GOOD gamers flow when you have to pause and look at a skill/move list.  (EasyCure)
Clause - You must confirm that all players are ready to resume playing.  (18 Days)

VIII.  Controller Etiquette – Wash your hands between snack breaks if you’re using someone else’s controllers.  (EasyCure)

IX.  File Imposing – Never play someone else’s file and save your progress.  (EasyCure)

X.  Walkthrough Wussies – Don’t use a Walkthrough, power level in a RPG, or play on anything but hard mode and call a game easy—it makes people want to smack you.  (vudu)

XI.  Co-op not Counter-op – Example:  When playing Contra with two players co-ordinate your jumps during vertical platforming segments.  Continue Crooks get a waiver if they have been Counter-opted.  (Ian Sane)

XII.  Follow Through – If a friend talks you into buying a co-op game, they have to play it with you until it is beaten or you are sick of it.  Example: FF: Crystal Chronicles.  (ShyGuy)

XIII.  New Challenger - No whining that you don't want a challenger in Soul Calibur in the arcade when you're doing TEH CONQUEST mode! Go home and play Final Fantasy instead. :\  (S-U-P-E-R)

XIV.  No Means No! - When told u are not allowed to play without the Wii Strap on, u better obey or you will learn the hard way.  (WuTangTurtle)

XV.  Gamer Prejudice -  Don't bitch about a game you have never played, or seen outside of screenshots.  (nitsu niflheim)

XVI.  No Babysitting - (movies & books too)  If you ask to borrow it I expect you to use/watch/read/play it, If I wanted it to sit somewhere and collect dust, it could've stayed on/in the shelf/box that I had it on/in. Oh and don't let someone else borrow my stuff, I loaned it to you, not to them.  (BlackNMild2k1)

XVII.  You Break, You Buy - You shouldn't mishandle people's stuff, I mean how would you like it if your girlfriend mishandeld your B@lls?  You Break, You Buy. Period.  (BlackNMild2k1)
Clause - Payment should be original MSRP, or decided on in a peaceful manner.  (TVman)

XVIII.  Accept Inferiority -  No bitching or blaming glitches in a game when you lose to someone else. Accept your inferiority.  (Mr. Jack)

XIX.  Have Fun - Don't take things too seriously, MMORPG mass suicides are not cool.  Same thing applies to literally punching someone in Wii Boxing, although it may be fun...(WuTangTurtle)

XX.  Pack it in - When telling a friend you are bringing a console/handheld be sure to bring everything you need such as a AV cable or power supply.  Remember its not as fun imagining playing a video game....(WuTangTurtle)

XXI.  The Giver - Do not let anyone borrow a game unless, A) They are a friend, B) You get something to borrow of equal value, or C) They are in Nut Kicking distance on a daily or weekly basis.  If none apply you just gave somebody a free game, don't b!tch you were warned.  (Vudu)

Cheating in Counter-Strike is punishable by death. (That'll teach those a$$holes)

Never let a girl come between you and video games; bitches come and go, but Mario is for life.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Don't use a walkthrough and then complain that the game is too easy--it makes people want to smack you.

On a similar note, don't power level in an RPG and then complain that the game is too easy--it also makes people want to smack you.

When playing any Contra game with two players co-ordinate your jumps during vertical platforming segments.

When someone is playing a game don't just barge into the room they're in to ask or tell them something for they may be watching an unpauseable cut scene with information crucial to figuring out a later puzzle.  Though this is more of a rule for non-gamers living with a gamer, such as moms, girlfriends, moms, annoying little brothers, and moms.

This is definately a good one, I second this one getting into the 'Gamer Law' books, especially if they hype the games multi-player aspects.

1) No Babysitting (this goes for movies & books too) - If you ask to borrow it I expect you to use/watch/read/play it, If I wanted it to sit somewhere and collect dust, it could've stayed on/in the shelf/box that I had it on/in. Oh and don't let someone else borrow my stuff, I loaned it to you, not to them.

2) You Break, You Buy - This should be known w/o having been said, but if I let you borrow something of mine that was working fine when I gave it to you, I expect it back in the same condition in which it left. If you come over and use something of mine, I expect you to respect my stuff and care for it as I would & only use it for its intended purposes. If you damage then you should fix or replace it, If I am not satisfied, then you should definately buy a NEW one. -Don't throw my controllers or games -Don't set my game disc on the carpet or table -Don't pretend you're a helicopter and swing my Wiimote around by the strap above your head. Thats how accidents happen.

This list makes me depressed to be a gamer....just like how everyone hates those man-law commercial.

Since when has gaming become anything more than entertainment? Where did all this seriousness come from?

That said, some of that sh#t really bothers.
