I think you should have added other potentially deady liquids to this graph, like Poisonous Green Slime, Toxic Waste, Quick-Dry Cement, and of course some sort of Acid.
You know what else pisses me off in game? Wooden doors. So what if its locked. Its f8king wooden door. I don’t want to run all over the place turning over clues to solve a puzzle that give me the key when I have a perfectly good rocket-launcher cocked locked and ready to rock. Hell I could just kick the damn thing down.
Some 4WD’s have “snorkels” on them, they boost the air intake above the roof, so that doesn’t happen.
My dad used to own a Nissan Patrol that had one :)
On a related note, why does everything you place in the water on Longshore float for about 10 seconds and then sink? I was happy on my dinghy until I randomly gurgled and died. ;_;
Bungie actually mentioned this. They used to float, but apparently there was a glitch involving a bubble shield and a rocket launcher that allowed people to take the oddball/bomb/etc out of reach by turning the dingy into a powerboat.
If there was a life boat on water, then the bar for video games be lower. However there is on occasion when a glitch occurs and you just go through the damn thing. Happened to me in the Maw level of halo 1 when the elevator just went up w/o me. That was annoying. Sorry I digress, but with the life boat thing, I say the bar might be a 75% the glitch still keeps it up. Also some people just miss the boat entirely.
Or they get in the lifeboat, fly down to a ringworld, and everyone in it xpt for one guy survives. That one guy goes on to destroy the ringworld, and the lifeboat in process, while managing to find another lifeboat.
That second lifeboat may-or-may-not have anything to do with a giant space jet that can go faster than a wildcat destabilization of a Halcyon-class cruiser, right?
I think the games bar for water needs to come down a bit and the real life bar needs to go up some (the ocean is a cruel mistress), but whatever.

Right, but all H2O in video games is replaced with H2SO4.
That’s sulfuric acid to all you non-chemists.
Real-life turtle = pet
In-game turtle = sworn enemy

Amen, Brother!
“IT’S LOCKED, AND THERE’S NO KEY TO OPEN IT”

Yet a Warthog engine will still run underwater.
Some physics is not a videogames friend!
In real life a 4WD will run with its engine underwater….
True.
Until the air intake sucks in a bit of water.
Then you go blub blub blub.

I thought once the muffler took in water, your car would be kaputz

That because probably your dingy was made by Somalia and is full of holes.
HEY!
I’m Somali and I am offended :P
WE MAKE SUPER BOATS.
Emh.. a dingy isn’t made to carry 1,000 lbs or 450 kg for that matter.

I don’t think I would ever play matchmaking again if you could turn the dingy into a powerboat!
But it would make for some epic custom games.
Powerboat races!
They should’ve just taken out the rockets.
Except for in Super Mario 64, where water healed you for some reason.
Thats what YOU think.
lol… wait what
You heard me!
You just weren’t listening…
You could still drown. It was the whole drying off that heals you completely.

Right. Ring a bell, anyone? :P
