I agree completely! I had a GM that played a lot of video games and we could tell where he got his material. We had no choice even after we called him out. Also, I've had lynch pin Players that can destroy ANY campaign in less than twenty minutes. I think video games have turned us into walking death machines. I have to remind my Players that they can use Charisma and talk to NPCs. Some couldn't believe they could hire NPCs to do their bidding. When I told them about that, they flipped out with excitement!

I hate to admit it, but I've gotten angry and made the blow the boss up mistake too :(  One time my group and I spent four hours of REAL time to come up with a dumb idea.  My Character used a disguise kit and walked into the antagonists layer.  I rolled a natural one on my Subterfuge test and the boss saw right through the disguise.  We were pissed off, I got some TNT, then blew the building up.  I was sure to remake him into an inter dimensional boss character that haunted their Characters for infinity.
