    Even if you drive head on into traffic and your car blows up, you'll be totally fine for the next race

    even if someone really hates you and has been tried hundreds of ways to kill you when you beat them they will sing you a lovely song.

    Mid-fight, you can just chow down on any kind of roast beef dinner and be revitalised.

    Mushrooms have multiple benefits. They are a lovely starter, but can also double your size...

    That I am a boss, badass ultimate dancer. Until Kinect decides it wants to film me "freestyling", and that score of "AWESOME!" suddenly seems fairly generous as you watch he playback of yourself convulsing like an absolute ***.

    The Missingno trick in Pokémon Red taught me that cheating is fun at first but hurling Master Balls at Geodude wears thin quite quickly

    The political themes in Bioshock taught me a lot, and I discovered Ayn Rand too

    1) The word 'Wololo' will turn someone who's trying to kill you into your BFFL. (AoE 1)

    2) If you bang a hammer against the ground for a fair bit, a great big effing castle will pop out of the ground. (AoE 2)

    3) If in doubt, just remember that 20 void rays can wipe out an entire base. (SC2)

    4) If you're being chased, just find a crowd of monks casually walking past, walk with them and bow your head down. You will stop being chased and people will completely forget about the fact that you've just stabbed someone and stolen all their money. (AC)

    5) When chucking a fireball, if it bounces back and hits you, you're unharmed. When a badly tempered flower decides to throw fireballs at you, you die. Logic (Super Mario)

    6) Regardless of what you're told, the Princess is ALWAYS in another castle. (Super Mario)

    If you run someone over with your car, they will immediately get back up even if you ran their legs off.
