What have video games taught you?
Inspired by the thread "What has the internet taught you?", I want to ask: what have video games taught you? The funnier the better 
For example:
•Age of Empires taught me that it's easy for one person to build the next wonder of the world. All you have to do is pull a hammer out of thin air and continuously hammer the ground near where you want the building to be. Keep hitting the ground until the building is finished.
•Minecraft taught me to turn on all the lights in my house at night. Zombies spawn in dark corners.
•Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64 taught me that if you have a golden gun, shooting even the most insignificant part of somebody's body kills them instantly.

Hitman:
never expect people to change... because no matter how long you wait or how big a splash you make people will keep going back to their little habits and ignore what happened a few minutes ago.

taught me how to use a motorcycle as a nunchaku.

people don't need food as long as they're happy.

it's okay to die.

anything I've learned in physics is wrong.

-If you have a phobia or fear, tough shit, life won't write you a pass because of it. You either face it down, or quit the game. Being an arachnophobe, and fighting spiders the size of my foot or bigger while in the first-person-point-of-view of System Shock 2 or the Thief series showed me that really quick.
-Sometimes the answer to a problem is right in front of your face; you just have to look around.
-It's okay to ask for help.

Ratchet and clank taught me that an easy game is more fun than a hard game
Spider man games taught me stuff about Spidey
RTS. Games taught me that obliterating
your enemy entirely in each battle gets you no were.
The most important is: playing like a pro is playing clumsy, playing wisely is playing accurately
