[General videogames] I just felt a shotgun blast to my face, a grenade to my feet and felt off a cliff, but I can somehow move and function at full speed, yet my mind tells me only 2% of my body is functioning, What is happening? Are my senses fooling me?

You are the pilot of a Combat Offensive Drone, a long range infantry robot designed to mimic humans in appearance for the comfort of foreign noncombatants. The C.O.D is controlled via secure satellite uplink to a classified room in an undisclosed location somewhere within the United States. 

Inside that room, your actual human body is strapped to a padded cot set at a 45 degree angle. Several neurofiber cables extend from a synapse-to-signal conversion box into your skull while other fiber optic cables connect the box to the satellite uplink. 

From your perspective, an attractive nurse in a uniform strapped you to a table and injected you with something, causing you to close your eyes for a second or two and open them to find yourself lying face-up on the ground inside a military base in an undisclosed country. 

You were then guided by another C.O.D to the armory, where you were given your equipment, and then to the command post, where a C.O.D piloted by your commanding officer gave you your orders. 

The sensations you are feeling are damage-to-pain indicator signals. When your C.O.D takes physical damage, it sends a signal via the uplink back to the synapse-to-signal conversion box, which converts it to a pain receptor signal proportional to the damage and sends it to your brain. 

The purpose of this is to enable you to recognize when your C.O.D is damaged so that you can pilot it in a way that minimizes said damage. C.O.D's are expensive, after all, and the military would very much prefer that you avoid outright destroying one through operator error.

 The pain is dialed down to a level the military officially certifies as "sub-traumatic", so that you aren't rendered incapable of continuous operation of the C.O.D and also so that you can't claim compensation for PTSD after you leave the service. 

Your brain cannot reconcile the feeling of pain all over what it believes to be your body while at the same time finding itself not incapacitated by that pain, which is where your confusion stems from. Most pilots find that over time they are able to train themselves to ignore the conflicting sensations and push through.

 If you find yourself incapable of this, please inform the nurse when you are disconnected. She will ensure that you are reassigned to a more suitable position. 

We hope that this information resolves your concerns.
