I've only been playing this game for a short time now. But there are 5 facts I've learned that you can apply to real life from this game. Of course I'm serious! It's in a video game, so it must be true.

In Africa, everyone is out to kill you.

It didn't matter where I went either. Everyone wants to kill me. Why? I don't know. I'm just looking for this dude, I mean, my friend named the Jackal. See he is an arms dealer here in Africa and he was going to hook me up with sweet weapons. I came all this way so I could do a little "wasteland safari".

There are hidden suitcases of diamonds all over Africa just waiting to be taken. And all of them have GPS locators on them too.

Talk about easy money. I swear, all you need is this handy map and a GPS device. Don't have a GPS device? Don't worry, every car in Africa comes with one installed standard. They all seem to be tuned in to the cases GPS locator signal too. I wonder why no one has ever thought about going around and gathering all these up before. All well, suckers!!!

All TVs in Africa seem to work with no power what so ever.

I was just wandering around and everywhere I looked there was TVs running on nothing at all. It seems that the people in Africa have solved the problem of having to run power cables to power household devices. It's truely amazing. As you can see here, I'm in this boxcar out in the middle of nowhere Africa. Yeah, it's a real place. And the TV, radio and fan all run on magic. Ahh, amazing. Now all I need to do is figure out a way to get up on the roof of this boxcar and fix that crappy signal I'm getting on the TV.

No matter how long you fiddle around trying to unjam a weapon. It won't unjam until you press the R key.

There isn't much to say about this one. I hit it. Played with it. Hell, I even tried prying out the shell with my finger. I played around with it for about 10 minutes. But nothing was unjamming that shotgun. I had to walk around until I found a keyboard and then I pressed the "R" button and then the weapon unjammed itself. Next time I'm just going to remember to carry a keyboard with me next time I'm in Africa.

All cars have a magic fix all damage bolt. Just tighten it up and be on your way.

The miracles never end here in Africa. Every car or truck I ran across had this magic bolt. All I had to do was tighten it and it fixed the engine right on up. Then I was on my way. Why can't all the cars in the States be like this? I'll have to remember to import a Jeep from Africa.
