Tech Support Rule #1 - They will lie to you. Usually intentionally.
I forgot one of my favorites:
If you find a big open space with lots of barrels of explosive material scattered about it for no apparent reason.... you are about to have a fight.
These are illusions of popular history which a successful religion must promote:
Evil men never prosper;
only the brave deserve the fair;
honesty is the best policy;
actions speak louder than words;
virtue always triumphs;
a good deed is its own reward;
any bad human can be reformed;
religious talismans protect one from demon possession;
only females understand the ancient mysteries;
the rich are doomed to unhappiness . . .

From Dune but I find games tend to promote these as well

Unless you were suppose to protect them, cause then it's your fault.
Alternately, children don't exist.
Ghosts fear you, if you recently ate a pizza.
Alligator heads make excellent bridges, if their mouths are shut.
Eventually, every frog will be killed by a passing truck.
If you drive fast enough, you can make a jump of any distance.
Alien invaders, who can speak English, do so very poorly.
If you hear creepy music coming from nowhere, watch out for a zombie ambush.
Tapping "X" helps you deal with the searing pain of electrocution.
And, when traveling at super-human speed on foot or in the air, shrubs will stop you, so watch where you are going.
I learned the most important lesson of all, I believe.
"Never fear. Fear is the enemy. In your life, if you're charging headlong into a situation in which you know you are going to die, one in which you know you have made an epic mistake that will result in massive damage, dismemberment, and carnage, one in which you already know the life of you and the object of your rescue are already forfeit, be brave, for you can always...........
........pause, hit reset, and start the level over again."

You really only need to know one play in football.
The nice people who help you through most of your life, will turn out to be evil.
All the kinetic energy in moving car, is transferrd at a rate of 10 to 1 into a human being.
Psychiatrists are far too easily influenced by their patients.
Pallets of money are just laying on the roadside, waiting for you to call in a helicopter pick up.
Any fall, from any height, is survivable if you land on someone else.
All armed guards suffer from horrendous tunnel vision.
You can only really die in a cutscene.
Guns. Awesome. Swords. Awesome. Guns & Swords. Awesome. Gunswords. Fail.

What I learned from Super Mario Bros. 2 (US Edition):
There is ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS, a way to bypass the level by going under the map to get to the location you want.
pohsyb: so of all people you must be most excited about the veats
Arachnos Commander: actually, I am
pohsyb: I mean you kinda were one already anyways ^_^

I learned that my ex wife doesn't like video games.
I can live forever if I just keep stomping on a turtle against a flight of stairs...
My Stories
Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.
Scientists have an amazing aptitude for combat, small arms, rifles, puzzle solving and survival against an overwhelming alien force.
Stealing a car will not result in a police report, investigation or search for the vehicle, unless it is done immediately in view of a cop. If this happens, a quick paint job will cause the police to abandon any pursuit.
Pre-teen boys full of angst and hormones can unleash a torrent of profanity equal to Darren McGavin in "A Christmas Story", or Jason Mewes on any given day, but only when they are exposed to their character being killed, beaten or bested in an online game.
I've learned that:
- Zombies, as dumb as they make themselves out to be, can somehow hide treasure chests in vases.
-If you kill your boss in a heated battle, you get his powers to use on the next boss.
-people and creatures carry the exact ammo that you need for the specific gun you have in their bodies.
-you can impress your gf just as much with guitar hero skills as regaular guitar skills
-simply standing in a hospital will eventually get you a job there. <---lol cox
-downing an entire bottle of asprin will actually make you more alert and feel more alive, not sick
-simply running away from a police officer will make him leave you alone, so long as it's just one.
-All my base are belong to someone named Cats.

Despite its malleability, incredible cost, and absurd level of upkeep, gold is a viable material to make armor out of, most of the time it's even better than silver or bronze.
Also, even though it's the best conductor of electricity, silver armor will not make you more susceptible to electrocution.
It's okay to be really close to lava for long periods of time; the high levels of heat and fumes it gives off will be irrelevant. Just don't touch it.
Touching lava will either instantly kill you, or leave no permanent damage, as long as you get out of it fast enough.
... the skimpier the female armor, the better protection.
... there is at least one objective you need to finish that you swear you've already done.
... most puzzles can be solved through: a. blood, sweat & tears; b. cursing - a lot and not necessarily in your native tongue; c. someone else posting the answers
... bards can kill an entire map with a song
... 'shoot-n-scoot' is a valid tactic, unless you bring all the enemies down on your location

If you take time to help others, you help yourself grow.
If you take time to help yourself, you realize how far you have to go.
If you take time for chocolate . . . you've discovered the secret to a happy life

Pretty much every Zelda game once they started that joke.
Food is not required, but it can heal what would otherwise be devastating wounds. Also, you can eat as much as you want and never have to poop.
Sometimes you can fall from any height and still survive, and other times falling from any height greater than you can jump will crush your bones.
Also, you've got mad ups, dawg.
1. No matter HOW urgent the objective is, I still have time to thoroughly explore the region looking for loot, talk to every villager, or go capture, breed, and race Chocobos.
2. If your objective is the SE, there is unbelievably cool stuff to be found to the NW. ALWAYS explore in the opposite direction of your objective.
3. Reload or die.
4. Cover is your friend.
5. The best gear is totally worth it.
6. There is always better gear.
7. Sometimes, people just don't mind if you walk into their house, rummage through their locked belongings, and take what you want.
8. Most situations require violence to be resolved.
9. All women are smokin hot.
10. Most men are too.
.... what have YOU learned from video games?
