a Phoenix Down will kill zombies.

I learned a few words from Suikoden when I first played it. I was probably 11-13. I learned hermit, disperse, reconnaissance (can't even spell that word right without looking it up), among other things.
I also learned what a tonfa is. When you see a chest, always open it. Ninjas wear bright colors. |

@ Bunai ;; That's a very good point. Women can wear almost nothing, but be protected like they are wearing a full suit of armor. Joking aside, I've learned to be patient. Take your time and think about what you're doing. If you try to run through a hard mario level without waiting for the platform to move over, you're going to die. |
Oh yeah, I'm back again. >D
The silly; If you think it's a villain from the previous game, it probably is. If you can't get past that door and there isn't any obvious way to open it, there MUST be some untold riches or instakill weapon behind it, or at the very least some horribly important item. And even if there isn't, well, why is that door blocked off in the first place? (shorter version: If the door's closed, well, they MUST be something interesting behind it!) Green is good, except when it's poisonous. Red is bad, except when it's health. Chances are that you had to have someone teach you how to poke someone with a sword. (Darkest Faerie) Winged people are evil, except when they're good. No one ever has to bath or stop to eat. But if you get dehydrated you'll rapidly loose HP. (Dark Cloud 1 and 2) The villain will always wait to destroy your home town/a city/the world/the universe until after you've cooked dinner, done the shopping, finished the side quests and ran back around the world for a weapon upgrade. If you can't move it, try blowing it up. The weapon you like the least is always going to be the one you need to use the most. If it's shiny, it's important. If it's been sitting around some temple, ruins or attic for millennium, chances are that it's also important. Never sell anything because you might need it later. If it looks like a wolf, sounds like a wolf, smells like a wolf, and runs like a wolf, it's a god/dess. (Okami) If you can't get past that mountain/door/wall/boss/gaping canyon then there probably wasn't anything important past it anyway, even though there always is. (pretty much any game ever) Now for some seriousness. xD; If there's one thing video games taught it, it's definitely that no matter how much I want to rush ahead with something, I have to be patient. If I don't wait until I'm ready, or I have what I need or that spike has lowered back into the ground, I'm going to have to face the consequences and will most likely have to start over. I also tend to get more math practice in video games than in real life, whether it's from figuring how many more baddies I have to butcher for the next level or how much cash I need for an upgrade or key quest item. Perseverance is another big one I've learned from video games. Sure, sure, we're all told how important it is to persevere but... let's be honest, it's hard to listen to that advice. But there are a lot of games where you have to stick with something through to the end, even if I hate it or don't want to do it. Practice makes perfect, teamwork, mathematics... for every silly lesson we've learned, I'm fairly certain that there's something we really have learned. ;D |
The most major thing I have learned from video games is that, under no circumstance, no matter how much you want to, you must never attack something that is not an enemy, or important. - Thank you zelda series and just about everything else that you can attack random things like boards in Half-life 2.
Many times you get a negative thing to happen like a cuckoo swarm or you destroy cover and then get shot to death. |
- If an ogre aims a boulder at you, run.
- If there is a shreiking shadow-thing, kill it. - Never trust the guy that's been trying to kill you throughout the game. Your friends will leave you. - Never let the wise, all-knowing old witch get on your nerves. Thank you, Dragon Age Origins, for all the important life lessons you have taught me. I will treasure them greatly! |

Never let the old witches daughter talk you into killing her mother. Dragons hurt!!!!! Now, from other games. Mass Effect 2: Dont try to beat up 3 heavy mechs when you only have around 120 energy for your Beam Cannon, and its Hardcore...they can shoot through cover. Dont forget to save often. Modern Warfare 2: Throwing Knives bounce, and can still kill. A grenade to the head(hand grenade, not even exploding) can kill. A special grenade(flash, stun, smoke) can kill if thrown at someones head. Jumping through too many second floor windows in succession hurts. Messing around usually wins a match better than actual teamplay...unless you want to humiliate a clan with 5 of your friends, then its just sad. |
From Wii: All yoga is just a mater of breathing and not falling off the board.
All snowball fights and other competitions have music at the begining and end of the event. And Nobody laughs when you fail or awws when you win. |
instead of walking into your enemys to try and sought them out, jump on them!
theres always some one pretending to be good in some games. an enoying side kick will be with you on your journey to "help" you (yeah right) look alike charicters tend to be enemys if you falll into water at a great hight it wont hurt you unlike reality in fact it will save you.... if you find humen hearts on the floor thats health! |
1. Never ever trust someone you just met in a room full of computers.(mass effect 2)
2. If it's big and scary and just tried to end your life, You should capture it to use in your next fight! (poke'mon, dragon warrior monsters etc.) 3. If it has green skin and pointy ears you should chop it before it can chop you. (Zelda, 99 nights, etc.) 4. If the enemy outnumbers you 100 to 1 then you are about to get a lot of kills. (Dynasty warriors, 99 nights, etc.) 5. The creepy little goblin things you just met, wish to make you their master, and help you take over the world. (Overlord, Overlord II) The hero always wins, and the bad guys are easily pointed out by their pointy horns or armor. |
During a study guide for my US history class, I was with a group of other students, and we were all working on it together.
When we got to the terms that we had to define, one of them was mercantilisim. We hadn't learned anything about it during our lectures and notes, but one boy and I both knew the definition. Guess where we both learned it from. Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. I've also learned many terms from the Civilization series and about different forms of government and economy. |
Good always trioumphs over evil
stay on the track or you'll get far behind, probably last place - racing games, mario kart wow the wii remote does a lot of stuff - Wario Ware Smooth moves :p yes games can be exercise - Dance dance revolution, Rock Band, many wii games learning games can be fun -Brain Age, Big Brain acadamy |
No matter how well you're driving, and no matter how much work it took to get to first position....there will always be a blue shell coming to kick your ass back to last.

the law of gravity and physics is optional (look at sora and cloud's hair)
its always good to have a loudmouth womanizng partner (daxter from the jak and daxter series) never trust the daughter of the fat guy that tried to kill you (jak X) if you put this school girl outfit on your health will increase (world ends with you) you can shoot yourself in the head and a monster appears (persona 3) sora is gay for riku (kingdom hearts) trust me it did looked like he grabbed his butt in KH2 and he says riku's name way more than kairi's, also when they were reunited sora CRIED for him while kairi only got a hug |
I learned there are more than one way to look at a problem.

lessee:
If it's shiny, GRAB IT! (Mario, Sonic, Maplestory) if it's spiky, don't jump on it! (Mario, Sonic, Maplestory) If you only see it once, CATCH IT NAO (Pokemon) If you can't understand it, avoid it (Maplestory) White hats are GOOD (Maplestory) Spamming is never good (Maplestory, Super Smash Brothers Brawl) NEVER walk away from the action (Mario, Sonic, Maplestory, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Legend of Zelda) You always gotta do that one sidequest......(Maplestory, Legend of Zelda) The bad guys are always bigger than you........(Mario, Sonic, Zelda) Knocking out large boxes of pixels is a surefire way to dupicate items (Pokemon) if it's super rare, it's gotta be under the truck (Pokemon rumors) godmodding fails (Maplestory, Sonic the hedgehog based roleplay) when all else fails, BREAK STUFF (Mario, Sonic, Zelda, Maplestory, SSBB) |
Hmm... what have I learned...
- Archers can shoot through walls. (Fire Emblem) - Archers use bows to fight. (Fire Emblem) - When people die, they're gone for good. (FE) - ... however, if you're willing to suspend the part of your life where your friend died and start over from the beginning, you can prevent their death next time around. (FE) - In the future, the military will keep combustible toxic waste barrels in the hangar and nobody will call OSHA. (Doom) - Who cares how many people you have to kill? You can just make more in the Town Center! (Age of Empires) - A barracks can only train one man at a time. Said training and the subsequent graduation takes little more than 20 seconds. (AoE) - No matter how badly your opponent beats you in a fight, you will never show any sign of bruising or bleeding. (Just about any fighting game) - Concrete? Ha! It doesn't hurt at all, not even if you fall off the Empire State Building-- a real man/woman gets right back up and keeps fighting! (Dead or Alive) More serious things I learned: - Ancient history, from Age of Empires. Need to pass a history test? AoE actuallyhelps a lot. - Fire Emblem gave me some really cool insults. >D One of them was "dotard." - Even though I never finished the game, Final Fantasy Tactics is a really philosophical game. Among other things, it shaped the way I look at religion. |
- If there's a sketchy noise, DON'T WALK TOWARDS IT. (Halo, Silent Hill, Resident Evil.)
- If you think it's rare, CATCH IT. (Pokemon) - If you've died more than 4 times on one level, you need a break. (Sonic) - If you can recite the dialogue from all of the cut scenes, stop and reevaluate your life. (Kingdom Hearts) |
Even if you can't see them, somehow they can see you so run! -call of duty
Giant pokeadoted eggs won't kill you, only flatten you. -Mario Cart Never help out strangers in a balverine infested forest. -Fable1 and 2 Bats can both catch on fire and catch on freezing. -Zelda games Anyone can play as good as the stars with a guitar controller!-Guitar hero |

I learned little facts about fish and bugs from Animal Crossing.
Honestly there's more than this, but this is what sticks the most. Haha! |
Assassin's Creed II taught me a lot about Italian history...
|
The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time taught me what an ocarina is! And I bet I wouldn't know it by now if it wasn't for that game! xD

It doesnt matter how far you are, a three-roun d burst at someones head can STILL miss if you have the barrel against the back of their head(Modernwarfare 2)
Boxes that are dropped from helicopters, make good killing blows(Moderwarfare 2) People get embarased when they get schooled by someone who doesnt even have Cold Blooded(prevents being seen by radar and kill streak rewards) unlocked yet(Moderwarfare 2, and level 25 is when you get it) |
