Haha, I've read some of the points you guys have made. They made me giggle. I never realized how many things I've learned from video games!

Mushrooms make you stronger.

*You can't always run through fire, no matter how harmless it LOOKS
*Talking swords are probably bad.
*It's normal to eat mushrooms and food you find just lying on the ground
*It's okay to take things from people/monsters you kill without even wondering why a rabid wolf is carrying armor that fits you.
*Warrior girls with skimpy clothing for armor are strangely protected, supposedly, seeing as they don't have any scars.

I learned what a biome was O.o
*beware of fire even when there is innocent looking food
*be prepared for strange consequences when you listen to talking statues
*ANYTHING can be used as a weapon (fear the fish)
*Hair defies tha laws of gravity sometimes, you'll never truly find out why
*don't talk to people with your weapon drawn, they don't like ot for some reason
*if you shake a tree, prepare to run if bees come after you
*if someone has their own theme song full of chanting. RUN! you probably won't hear the end of it
*No matter how weird/odd/girly the name may sound and how many belts/buckles wings they may have, trust your gut and don't cross the bad-ass

Hrm...can't think of anything else right now. 8D

things i learned from video games happen to be...

life is like the sims, except all the bad parts; you simply can't say rosebud or ka-ching and get money out of nowhere. however, you can drown in a pool.

guitar hero doesn't make you good at guitar. sadly.

swimming should never be done while in overalls, or a sword, or any other type of outfit other than a bathing suit.
