This thread is a series of unusual and interesting facts.
What kind of facts? Facts from all corners of the world; from book authors to exercise to quantum physics!
I will start off with number 1 and we will ascend from there, feel free to add on, just get the number right. Also this could be a forum game but it kinda isn't so correct me if I'm wrong.
1. You can hold plutonium in your hand and 'not' have your well being harmed, just don't breath it in.
2. You can't prove that the world was created one minute ago and we're filled with (technically) false memories.
3. The word bullet comes from the French word Bulle which means 'ball'.
166.- Attacking the fat, black pig on Outset Island in The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker will eventually cause it to attack.It's 100% invincible, though, so watch out.
167.- Mega Man is known as Rock Man in Japan. This was changed in America because 'rock' is well-known slang for crack cocaine, and the name stuck.
168.- The name Atari comes from the Chinese game Go. 'Atari' refers to a situation where a stone or a group of stones is in imminent danger of being taken by another player; a state Atari ironically found themselves in when the brand was bought by French company Infogrames.
I like reading all this info! Thanks for posting these XD
169. Bioshock Infinite's Motorized Patriots' appearance was inspired by a creepy doll from the 1900s that used to give the Ken Levine nightmares when he was a kid.
170. Metal Gear Solid's Psycho Mantis was amongst the best boss fights in the entire history of gaming, and the reason MGS was the first game to fully exploit the possibilities of the PlayStation console. Specifically, the psycho mantis floated around in the room with pieces fo furniture circling around him. But the most creepy part was that the psychic agent appeared to read the players minds! He could scan the primary memory card and comment on the player's saves during the battle, like saying for example "You like playing Castlevania, don't you?" if he detected such a save! Additionally, he could instantly fade the entire screen to black with a green HIDEO on the top left corner to make the player believe he accidently switched channels! Now that's magnificent, especcially for a PS One isn't it?

woah...
171 - no new quests were added to this site since 11/25/2015, the date when bullet heaven 2 was released
173.- The Xbox was originally named DirectXbox, as it was initially designed to show how Microsoft's Direct X graphics technology could benefit the console market.
174.- The Texas Instruments TI-83 calculator has more graphics processing power than the Commodore 64. Amazingly, some basic C64 games can even be programmed into it.
175.- The Original Devil May Cry was originally intended to be the next chapter in the Resident Evil series. The gun juggle move was a glitch, but became part of Dante's move set.
I knew that about DmC There's also a possible connection between the protagonists of each series' white hair (Leon in RE2 and Dante)
176. Final Fantasy was originally intended to be Square Enix's final game, hence the title. It was met however with such a great commercial success that it allowed Square Enix to get back on its feet.
177. The largest known appendix ever removed from a person measured a ludicrous 26cm in length. The bragging rights go to an anonymous patient in Zagreb, Croatia
178.- Alien Hominid, a hardcore PS2 shooter, was originally a popular Flash internet game. It was downloaded more than 6 million times before being brought to the PlayStation 2.
179.- In the NES era, Nintendo had strict licensing rules in an effort to maintain quality control (hence the gold Nintendo seal of quality badges on the cartridges). They only allowed third-party publishers to release 5 games a year for their systems.
180.- Final Fantasy VII was originally designed for the Nintendo 64, but Square cancelled the project and moved to the PSone because of the lack of space in the console's game cartridges. FFVII would've filled 13 cartridges.
181 - which means, plugging those cartridges on a theorical n64 that has multiple cartridge slots and doing this would break the game in the most spectacular way possible
182 - bbcode has two tags that dont appear on the top on the box which i wrote this into. without spaces:
wrapping text into [ size=x ] and [ /size ] will grow it to the x% of the original size(this one is 200%). this way, u can troll others with really small text
183 - everyone will now want this thread to be exempt of "no reviving old threads" rule
wrapping text into [ code ] and [ /code ] will make it appear with a monospaced font
Did you know that Mad Max: Fury Road was the best-received action movie of 2015, but it was also the lowest grossing action movie of 2015, too? It only made $375 million. That's less than Terminator Genisys' $441 million. Avengers: Age of Ultron and Jurassic World I can understand making more, but Terminator Genisys?! NOOOOO!
185 - Banana flavored candies don't taste like the Bananas you know. They in fact are flavored after the Gros Michele, the original banana of choice until a Panama Disease left the demand unsustainable. The flavour is kept today, however the bananas that you eat are known as the Cavendish.
