Gaming: Not even once

Cutting to another scenario.

A bicylce falls of the cliff. As it hits the ground it explodes with a huge fireball. The area it complete scorched, a wheel slowly rolls out of the flames.

Hollywood started feeding us experiences that never would happen in real life long before video games emerged.

Flipping (I know, right?) to another scenario.
Almost every FPS game ever, you have been shot with several rounds to areas of your body including but not limited to your arms, chest and legs. You continue to be capable of perfect shooting and able to sprint away from your pursuers, albeit after some blood appears to the side of your eyes. After a few seconds, the blood disappears and you are fine.

Teach me your mystical healing ways, Mr FPS Character.

Cutting to another scenario.

You do something that you're not actually able to and unrealistic stuff happens.

I play The Sims. I am God, placer of toilets, drowner of children.

You look at a painting like Starry Night by Van Gough, there are giant lights and swirling vortexes, yet you accept it as a normal night sky picture.

Aren't this the reasons why we play video games? Who would want to play a FPS where you can fall over a brach and break your leg before you even get to the battlefield?

"Cutting to another scenario.

Team Fortress 2. You are the soldier, a burly specimens with a rocket launcher hoisted over your right shoulder. Firing three shots at the glowing metal plate upon the railway dislodges a group of enemies. You take shelter as a bright red sentry locks its laser to your position. As you reload, the air shimmers before you. A mask appears, followed by a daintily cut suit of pale blue cloth. A puff of smoke, followed by a drawling French accent, emanates from the figure. "Clearly I am your ami" Just to be completely sure, you shoot a rocket at the man. It passes through him. A rocket has passed through this man and no one takes particular notice. "

Team fortress 2 is intentionally unrealistic. The entire game features unrealistic cartoonish graphics, weapons, and body proportions (The Heavy). I don't think anyone believes that TF2 is anywhere close to reality, or truly accepts the reality presented by it.

"Flash to another scenario.

You are one of four survivors of Left 4 Dead. Zombies run rampant throughout the street, and every day brings less prospective rescue attempts. You try to make the most of it though, as your band weaves its way through a hospital, a mill, and several streets. During one of these levels, a screaming woman of shocking white has begun to chase you. All of your intrepid team makes it to the safehouse; you promptly slam the door shut. You are safe.

...Safe? How are even remotely safe with a horde of zombies pounding on the wooden door of your so called "safe house"? For that matter, how can health kits heal wounds that would otherwise cause broken bones and other seriously traumatic injuries?
"

Unless I'm mistaken, the safe room doors are made out of metal, not wood. Other than that, you make a good point. We accept a lot of what is presented to us as reality, without ever thinking about it.

I'm not sure what the point of that post is. Yes, video games are not realistic. Because real life is boring. Yes, your mind accepts the rules put forth in video games because your mind does not care about reality, it cares about what is useful. Making your character try to open a non-opening door to get to a hospital you just passed is not useful, but grabbing a medkit is useful. So you grab the medkit and move forward, reality be damned. In real life, the opposite would be true... trying to get to a hospital when wounded would be a useful solution. (I wish I saved that TED lecture on color someone posted here yesterday or so, but I'm too lazy to look for it now.)
