Quick and dirty explanation: You know facts and details about something, even though you have never experienced it firsthand. Through conversions, snippets, references, and the like, you probably feel that you have a pretty good handle on some movies/games/books/ect that you have never actually sat down and experienced yourself. They may be fragmented, they may be even flat out [i]wrong[/i], but you probably have some.
So, what are some that [i]you[/i] personally have?
Don't worry if you're unsure about the accuracy of your conclusions, even if you [i]know[/i] that they're fragmented or utterly incorrect in some way, because seeing what has leaked out to the "uninitiated" is really more interesting than judging how close you personally got.
I'll start:
[b]Dark Souls[/b]
- Dodge roll dodge roll dodge roll
- Backstab that big knight dude over there I'm sure that will end well
- Campfires and suns

- Skeleton god made of skeletons hits things with skeletons
- Griefing is a game mechanic; is paradoxically fun for everyone involved
[b]God of War Series[/b]
- I hope you have one of those wonky third-party controllers with turbo button features
- Man who is essentially Hercules as a spartan loses family because the gods are dicks who don't care about mortals, gets really pissed
