Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The ledge grab is one of the most popular abilities given to human video game characters. However, in real life, it's almost impossible to even hold on to thin ledges, let alone jump from a great distance and land with the fingertips on a small lip!
Which of these video game characters does not have the ability to ledge grab?
2. Sometimes, video game characters have ridiculously large amounts of life. They can be shot a dozen times, punched in the face for a while, and still be fine. Totally unrealistic!
Which of these video game characters typically has the lowest health bar (taking the fewest hits before a life is lost)?
3. In real life, humans can only jump once, but a very popular ability in video games is the double jump. This allows a character to reach places not reachable with a single jump.
Which of these video game characters has not had the ability to double jump in at least one game?
4. Typically, falling from a very far distance will do some damage to a person in real life. However, in some video games, falling from buildings several stories high will not even scratch the character.
Which of these game characters is actually safe after falling from great heights?
5. Generally, in real life, a human must obey simple laws of physics. For instance, you cannot transport, you cannot walk upside down, and you most certainly cannot jump onto a moving vehicle from a still position without rolling off the vehicle.
Which of these characters does not have the impossible ability of any the above mentioned?
6. Somehow, even human characters in video games have managed to learn how to fly. Some use magic, of course, but it still seems bizarrely popular to make an ordinary human fly.
Which of these human video game characters does not possess the unnatural ability of flight?
7. "Play with fire, you end up getting burned." Somehow, this adage doesn't always apply in the video game world. Sure there are dragons, mages, and other magical creatures that harness the ability to control fire, but humans shouldn't be able to touch fire without getting injured, right?
All these characters are able to, not only touch fire, but use fire, without getting hurt. Which one is actually injured by this harmful thing, possessing no abilities involving it?
8. Have you ever tried to go exploring underwater without an oxygen supply? Typically, one does not last very long without having to head to the surface for a breath of air. Yet somehow, video game characters seem to be able to stay under for very long periods of time, almost as if they can breathe water.
Fortunately, many games make it so that the character has to hold their breath, and head back to the surface for air. Which of these human characters has the uncanny ability to remain underwater for entire levels without having to go up for air?
9. Video game characters never seem to sleep. An average human needs around eight hours per day, but some characters continue with their missions long into the night, and right into the next day.
Which of these characters actually sleeps as part of the gameplay?
10. I will never understand how these characters can carry so much stuff in such a little amount of space. Most of the times, there is a limit, but it is typically far higher than a human in real life could ever carry.
Which of these characters can hold the least amount of items?
