stuff you learned from video games

THIS!

Always save before fighting legendaries.

According to your question and most of the replies.
Most people don't seem to learn anything that can apply to real world from games.
And honestly, I can't really think of one myself either. I know in some games you might think you've actually learned something that can use in real situation, but I think you're just hallucinating. And honestly, in my case I have to say the answer is none. In some cases, concept wise maybe, but mostly none, nothing I can learn that can apply to real life.

I learned that no matter how well I am doing in life, no matter how well off or happy I am, I will always need to construct additional pylons.;_;

I learned that during court cases, if you shout "Objection!" loud enough, the judge will declare the defendant innocent and the witness guilty.

[font=Verdana][color=green]What games did you play? o.O

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

Anyone who owns a mic will talk alot, and make you listen to his shitty music playing in the background. **Headpalms**

There are a lot of goofy responses here, but I actually have a serious one.

I learned to type through playing Everquest. Back in 1999 we didn't have easy access to stuff like vent so we had to learn to type commands in chat really quickly during a raid. Prior to EQ I was a hunt and pecker but after playing that few a few years and other online games I can easily do 100+ WPM with high accuracy. Thanks video games!

I learned that the auto-save feature is always on IRL.
What's that? How I've used it? Well, it's more of a street cred kind of thing, really.

If it's red, shoot it.

There is a 100% chance it will explode in some way or form and rain death upon anyone stupid enough to be near it.

You beat me to this, ALWAYS shoot red barrels

Don't forget you heal gunshot wounds when you screw a hooker.

Anyway the only thing I can see that will help teach you any real skills are simulator games such as flight sims and certain driving sims (GT5).
Otherwise games won't teach you jack.

I learned to jump from high places, spin a certain degreed angle and fire your sniper rifle. you'll get some one every time!

It's okay to die. I've got like 20 more lives left.

I shall scream at my screen, and rage quit when fags camp with a Famas, or a M16.

I learned how to survive jumping from high places by landing in a hay stack.
And what to do when zombie apocolypse happens: put together random crap and it'll
become a powerfull combo weapon.

always carry ducktape.... a shitload of ducktape

i learned how to run around wearing only my robes and set things on fire from my WOW mage:P

shoot first ask later
a guy with a gatling gun can survive claymores and rockets
one bullet is never enough
if you crash your car into a wall it wont get damaged
