Everything I need to know I learned by playing Shenmue

by **mikec_ct** » Tue Sep 23, 2003 3:49 pm

List of inspirational life lessons that only Shenmue (I or II) could have taught us:

-No matter what, there's always time to buy capsule toys

-If someone murders your father, screw school and any of your own aspirations in life; DO NOT REST until the blood of the assailant is on your hands

-Be sure to completely ignore every member of the opposite sex who wants to sleep with you

Also note

Not eating anything and turning towards anorexia is the best thing for you, if you want to kick ass.

When in doubt just say "I see" or "Is that so" ...your solution will magically appear.

I actually have done that. Am I an idiot? Yes.

Here's another one:

-Start fights whenever you can, because you wont feel a thing the next day.

Don't worry about getting into fights, the thugs will disappear into thin air afterwards ^_^

Dont worry if you:
a) get slashed in the eye with a knife
b) lose a fight
c) dont catch the torch

Because you can just go back/forward in time and try again...

Dont listen to your mother when she tells you not to sleep in your clothes

Actually, I've started carrying a little notebook and pen around with me most places I go and I've actually found it's really useful!
I don't write Ryo style.. like "Go to motorbike shop", but stuff like people's birthdays that I'm bound to forget and shopping lists and meeting times etc.

As for other stuff:

If a wise master tells you to protect a mirror to stop an evil person destroying the world, go seek out this evil person to bring the object right to them.

If your father's dieing words tell you to keep your friends and loved ones close to you, you should immediately leave the country without telling anybody.

Don't worry about going to the bathroom. 'Cause you don't need to.

by **Keiya03** » Wed Sep 24, 2003 11:47 am

if you dunno where to go, just ask some random guy or girl on the street. he or she will change direction and offer you to follow him or her, cause he or she coincidentally wanted to go there, too.

Always help a six year old raise an orpahned kitten.
Buy lots and lots of caramel and chocolate (so you can get that almighty cassette player).
Never take off band-aids, even if the wound healed itself over two months ago.
Sailors are happy, fun people.

by **ChaiOgawa** » Wed Sep 24, 2003 4:40 pm

It also teaches you to

-Never go looking for sailors, cause your only looking for trouble.

beware of:

a hunchback leper
a fat chinese sumo
a crossdressing gay man wearing stilletos
the girl/boy you have a crush on
say nothing about your crush to another person who has a crush on you
anybody who can blow dandelion seeds without using his or her mouth
