You know what I'm talking about - those silly little things that happen in all videogames without fail. For some reason, totally illogical and pathetic things are a common occurance in the majority of games these days, and there is no explanation offered as to why these things are still included. For example:

1) Guards? What Guards?!

Game: Zelda 64: Ocarina of Time. Place: Hyrule Castle. Somehow, even with the unbelievably tight security, Link manages to get straight into the central garden section of Hyrule Castle and to the Princess without being spotted by a single guard. Surely the most important person in the entire land could be a little more secure? Link could have been on an assasination attempt for all we know, and Zelda could have ended up with that Kokiri sword straight through her face. This also happens in loads of other games. A mission is placed before you, and only two incredibly stupid guards are placed between your character and the big red button that destroys the world.

2) Superhuman Powers!

Game: Goldeneye 007 (or nearly every FPS game). Place: Everywhere. James Bond sneaks into the nuclear warhead facility through the ventilation shafts above and drops down into the toilet cubicle. He comes across a guard who happens to be taking a leek and gets shot in the chest six times. However, James is perfectly fine and retaliates by shooting the guard in the leg - killing him instantly. James continues on down the corridor, and is shot by three guards armed with sub machine guns. James brushes off the bullets and wastes the guards with a couple of shots from his PPK. Why is James superhuman? Why can't these guards survive puncured lungs and pierced brains like our James?

Note: I'm not asking for these things to be changed, because it's all part of the game. If games weren't like this, they'd be impossible to complete. Nevertheless, it is amusing to pick out these silly points and make fun of them.

Having said that, are there any things in games that make you laugh? Any totally illogical and stupid scenarios that you'd like to share with us?
