Things you learned from video games

[Eeezee]

If you shoot a rocket nearby or drop a grenade, you will only take minor damage and you can propel yourself to hard to reach places!

 

[Eeezee]

Battles can be won by capturing nodes and destroying a power generator

Any weapon with "ion" in the description is usually very awesome (ion tank in UT2k4, ion cannon in C&C, etc.)

Painkillers restore health and cure bullet wounds

You can revive your comrades thousands of times with a Phoenix Down, but this effect does not work if the person has been cut down by a sword in a cutscene.

Every enemy you will ever face in life has a predictable pattern in the moves that it uses to attack you. If you just remember the 3-4 different movies that the enemy has, you can always beat them.

Guns never misfire

 

[Eeezee]

You can be looking for a body part from some beast in the wild, but you can't always obtain that body part when you kill the beast. If you need alligator eyes, you can kill alligators for hours and maybe only obtain a dozen eyes. When an alligator dies, it magically randomly takes all of its body parts into the afterlife.

After you kill something, its body will fade away eventually (but only if you loot it properly)

Holding a treasure chest open and looking at its contents prevents other people from seeing what's inside the treasure chest (asheron's call)

Random insects and animals hold money, jewelry, weapons, and armor. If you kill them, you can take these items from them.

Well thats just not true. Inside sunken temple in WOW, if you drop down the hole in the middle, you end up in knee deep water but very dead because its so shallow.

The protoss can destroy entire planets with their space fleet, but they choose to land on the planet and conduct a ground war instead

Also, their ships can't just destroy local areas like an entire base; if they start to bombard the planet, the entire planet has to go.

 

[Eeezee]

You can only carry 99 of any type of item in your inventory, but you can carry an unlimited number of types of items (99 soft, 99 potions, 99 hi-potions, 99 x-potions, 99 phoenix downs, etc). Some types of items you can only carry one of

chocolate bars, and soda repair internal and external damage to the body.

Always use the color diamond shaped floating object over a womans head, to decide if she is in a good enough mood to have sex with.

My 6 year old has started talking with a British accent due to repeated pc gameplay of Harry Potter 1, 2 & 3.

Frogs speak old english (thee, thou, etc) - crono trigger

Doors are 100% impenetrable unless it is nighttime and you are driving a cargo van. (San Andreas)

Girls talk like pirates - ff5

 

[SparkyJJO]

You can only be 1% alive and still be able to run at full speed in full gear

You can fly a helicopter just as well when it is almost destroyed as when it is new

You are healed instantly when touching a healthpack

 

[Patrick Wolf]

I learned you can kill as many civilians, prostitutes, cops, SWAT, FBi, gangsters, and army guys you want without dying or going to prison, as long as you make it home and save your progress on a floppy disk.

 

[swtethan]

you can do mid air transfers from a speeding jet to another jet or helicopter, you being the pilot of course

 

[Pocatello]

Your flashlight lasts only 5 seconds, then it has to be recharged again. Your weapons never get jammed. There is no mirror in the future. There are demons on Mars. You are the only one who can save humanity.

1. You can commit any crime, no matter how serious it is, and get away unscathed provided you drive a vehicle into a spray shop.

2. Apache attack choppers can get hit by a 120mm tank shell and still survive.

3. You can reload a gun effectively even while engaging in an intense firefight.

4. C4 explosions don't damage the environment, regardless the size of explosion.

 

[imported_goku]

No matter the injury, if some one gets critically wounded, a defibulator will bring them not only back to life, but full health as well.

 

[Shadowknight]

You can fly helicoptors, airplanes, military choppers, fighter jets, and 747s and drive tanks with no training (GTA: San Andreas)
Tattoo shops can remove tatoos without leaving scars
Barbers can make your hair magically grow in an instant, even if your head was shaved bald a second ago
You can steal almost any car, but if it's a can with a good sound system, you have to get the girl who owns it to let you in, and only if you dance well enough
The military are pansies, you can easily break into a heavily guarded base and make off with a prototype transport device (jet pack, San Andreas)
All the good clothing shops are closed until you are near the end of the game, no matter what time it is, or what day of the week it is
Certain cars can only get modded in one place in the entire state, even if they can all be equipped with the same equipment - sound system, nitro, hub caps, bumpers, etc. Apparently, shops refuse to work on non-lowriders or sportscars

I thought people used the SF Assault kit because of those incredibly cheap flashbangs.

Tetris and Pacman have taught me everything that I need to know about life.
