I'd say "An automatically updated map which shows you where you are, where you're going and how to get there"... But then that isn't science fiction anymore :p

-Taking the less obvious route and wanting to explore a cool new area, only to be stopped by those damn invisible walls!
-Finding your path has been blocked off by a single rope/fence/etc. and there is no way to get through/over/under or around it.
-Having the psychic ability to know, 100% fact, that you no longer need "this" item.
-Chewing on a green plant/or spraying yourself with an aerosol can cures deep gash wounds from razor sharp claws/teeth.
-Getting in a fight with someone and they suddenly begin running in place. You stop and ask yourself, "WTF?". A few moments later the guy moves at lightning speed and you wake up flat on your back not knowing what the hell just happened. (Damn you cord pullers/Lag switchers!)
-Touching a feather makes you sprout a tail.
-Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A - gives you enough lives to out live 3 and 1/3 generations of cats.
-The more people you kill, the more respectable you become.

THat's hilarious! :chuckle:
-Being very close to your death and drinking a fix it juice and instantly your wounds are healed. No more blood and no more scars.
-Insteading of bumping against other cars you just drive right through them.
- Driving around with the throttle all the way down, skidding past corners, bumping into other cars and finally getting thrown through the wind shield. You then hi-jack the first car in sight and repeat the performance.

An ipod is a source.
36) Commanding entire armies just by pointing at them, pushing a button, pointing at an enemy army or area, and pushing that button again
37) Your opponent waits patiently as you decide which attack to use, and then you each take turns attacking each other.
- The item you pick up while waiting for the subway using a clothesline, a rubber duck and a clamp happens to be the key to a transformer which you break into and disrupt the wiring in to get a guy to open a door so you can scare him away and talk to a guy who's been wanting to see you.
An ipod is a source.
Seemingly is the keyword, fun-killer :p

Nah, it was just that I felt losers fit the bill better.
-One type of ammo works on all artillery
- hitting your head against question mark crates gives you money

How about Need for Speed?
crashing into any car/truck/wall/object at any speed is always surviveable and does almost no damage to your vehicle. The windows crack, and when your car is macically flipped over and flashing they fix themselves.
Also speaking of that game, there are no cops and its always night.

"Get key. Unlock drawer."
"You unlock the drawer. A vampire jumps out and attacks."
"Run away."

This happens in real life too.
Seeing that throwing a giant fireball that descends from space doesn't harm any of your friends.
