We all have learned many things that have helped us in life from video games. Post what you knowledge you have gained.

1. Hovering is fun!

2. Often, to be considered as "bad" you must first demand their money and then kill them.

You run faster once you've died.

The average human can take massive amounts of damage, only to be completely healed by hiding behind a window for a few moments

The cake is a lie

Carjacking is an economical alternative to taking the bus

Goo can do amazing things if left alone

PLay too much and your socail life will suffer.

Never play WoW. Luckily I dont like it anyways, although GW did kinda consume me, and contributed to my losing a GF (but then again she was kinda needy). :)

Bunny hopping is possible even with a metal armor and about 4-5 impossibly enormous guns. You will instantly die from a single dog-bite if you join the USMC or the SAS. Guardposts in Africa are miraculously restored a few minutes after being blown to bits.

-Killing someone in the Capital Wasteland is harder than it looks.

-Never underestimate the power of the swing in the park, so never park your car next to a swing.

-Never trust anyone when they say "they'll buy you a beer sometime" because they never had and never did ....... so far.

-It's so easy for a gangster from Grove Street to break into a military facility and steal one of their projects.

- Stay away from wild boars. They can kill you faster than an orc.

1. The inside of us is just some sort of solid red matter that is easily broken at the knee, elbow, or neck.

2. Nothings ever really dark at night, only corners and far away, uninteresting areas. Everything else is either pale blue for some reason or illuminated by your 'I just happen to have one' flashlight or high powered night vision goggles.

3. Stay out of space in general. Period.

4. 1 L3rn3d h0w t0 sp311!!!1!

5. Basic motor skills such as walking, jumping and climbing are first learned at ages 20 and up.

6. That blood soaked door that you just saw that screaming guy get pulled under is normally the right way to go.

7. If your a guy then your buff and have skills ranging from hand to hand combat, to aircraft piloting. If your a chick then you have big boobs and say very little. You may also do stuff that shows your cleavage.

8. Your life IS being compared to others, for what reason is unknown but all I know is: I want to win.

- When you stealth assassinate a guard, where 6 more are facing towards him, no one will know it was the guy in the hooded white robe with swords on his hilt and his back who did it

- An army will chase one guy who killed a few people, most preferably cops, carjacked a few times and shoots guns for no reason.

- If your a redneck playing GTA, you'll learn a lot of new laws.

- If everythings coming your way, your on the wrong side of the road pissing off alot of drivers.

- Taking anything not nailed down is mandatory. Corpse robbing is especially encouraged.

- You'll be o.k. in the most daring situations since everyone attacking you is usually much weaker and extremely stupid. And if you die it doesn't really matter anyway.

- You can run for many miles and fight constant battles while carrying over 100 pounds of equipment without needing to eat, rest, or excrete.

- Kings are so wonderful. Democracy be damned…

- Only you can save the country/world/galaxy. Everyone else is an incompetent fool apparently.

- Given the above the impending doom will wait for you while you rob dungeons, go on frivolous errands and twiddle your thumbs.

- You can be extremely close to dieing but still be able to move and fight as if you were healthy.

- You can be in a hot, humid jungle or in a desert in full uniform, carrying equipment and never sweat.

- Children are both rare and usually invincible.

- Going back to the past and tuching someone will immediatly vaporize him. - If you get to a hospital loaded in weapons, you'll get out with the weapons still on you. - The first chance I'll have I have to go to africa, there are suitcases with diamonds every where! - When two armys/ countrys are fighting each other, it's just a matter of time till another army will come out to fight them both. - There will allways be a revenge by a crazy general. - Some Super Mutants have feelings!

- There is never "we" in horror games. It's just you, alone.

- Punching someone on the street can end up becoming a manhunt.

- Wearing a bright hooded white robe with weapons will definitely make you blend in with the crowd.

- There is always a girl involved.

- If you crash on your motorbike, you will fly so high into the air that you can actually see the whole city from there.

- Taking a garden gnome to space is worthless. You just did something stupid throughout the whole game. Congratulations.

- Roman Bellic is annoying.

- Anyone who calls you to go out for a drink or pool is annoying.

- You start off in a place where there's lots of people around you and you go half way through the game with no one with you.

- Somebody always dies. There's no such thing in action games where no one dies. Someone HAS to die.

As a war general you have to earn the money for an army yourself.

If the cops ever tries to pull you over, just get couple of blocks away from them and they'll stop looking for you.

Food heals bullet wounds and sword cuts.

No matter what kind of trouble you get in to, if you jump into a hay stack you are safe.

1. kill first, think later.

2. expand your army (or navy) quickly.

3. don't overspeed in flight simulators

4. profanity and slang words/threats don't get anywhere with children in MMOs...infact, if used against you by them, it angers you to infinity.

5. most MMOs take a long time to get the level maximized, even if it's boaring...because people have the natural will to become the best when there's people around them.

- Killing someone with a melee weapon is socially accepted, and sometimes you'll get a prize for it.

- If you don't know what to do with your life, there's always someone online that'll tell you which exactly is the right path.

- Quick reloading is: "Nice!"

- Even if you can only throw objects a few feet away, you can always go the distance with grenades.

- Food, drinks or sleeping is for pu$$ies, anyone can go several weeks fighting with none of that.

- When your car gets damaged, you just get out and steal another one.

- Sacrificing your wife always gets you extra points.

- Cadavers always have ammo and soma cash in them.

Awesome :) The same goes for oversized flies and other insects who drop swords when dying.

Another lesson learned: most people take a full clip of bullets or several rockets to kill.

- Everyone can steal a train.

- Your team mates never die, unless scripted so.

- Your team mates never hit the target.

- Its always you who has to do all the job.

- Blood stains and bullet holes disappear over time.

- Dead people disappear over time.

  • If you shoot someone you will do a lot more damage than someone shooting at you using the same gun.
  • If you're hurt, just pick up a med pack and you'll be restored to full health again. You don't have to manually use the med pack, just pick it up and that will do the trick.
  • You can pick up a gun while walking over it and instantly acquire years of experience in handling it.
  • Red liquids gives you your health back, while blue liquids makes you able to use spells.
  • To open a door you must press a sign that says "Use" on it and then the door will open by itself.
  • Everyone in the whole wide world wants to kill you. It's you or them and there's a whole lot of "them" and just one "you".
  • Your enemies, i.e. anyone besides yourself, has limitless ammo, while you have to preserve ammo.
  • Enemies clad in red clothing can take a lot more damage before killed than e.g. enemies clad in blue clothing
(Joking aside, games have given me better reflexes, better hand-to-eye coordination and improved awareness of my surroundings and of other people while riding a bike. Thus making every bicycle trip seem like an obstacle course, where people and everything I can't run over becoming obstacles to stay clear off. It has also improved my english vocabulary)

and

whenever wanted by the police for a string of murders go home, go to bed and when you wake up it'll all be forgotten about. slate clean, ready to rampage again
