    The word stealth. (MGS 1. I was actually in year 5 when I wrote the word in a story and the teacher was all like OH YES [think herbal essences ad], what a lovely word.)

    You can carry 20 odd guns on you person at all times without any kind of bag to carry it in.

    You can eat change your clothes by pressing start.

    To kiss a fit princesses you should get hold of a magic dagger.

    Never trust the government.

    Edit: I'm sorry for learning something you didn't. Bastard.

    Make sure you drive off once you nicked a car or they may hijack it back :ninja:

    GTA SA
    On a related note, it's still a crime to steal a car, even if you are only stealing it BACK.

    One of the hilarious vagaries of Vice City.

    No matter how hard you get hit or what hits you, you will not die as long as you have at least one ring.

    If you find yourself in a kart, always avoid anything that looks like a shell.

    When fighting a monster, don't panic - its weak spot will be high-lighted, framed, covered in glitter and blatantly exposed for several seconds at a time to make sure you don't miss it.

    5 Star Copppers will always get you, unless you spawn a Rhino and wreak havoc on the streets. (GTA)

    Doing stunts on motorbikes will magically earn you money in your wallet, which is on the top right hand corner of your screen. (GTA)

    If you walk around with your hands clasped, no one will detect you. (Assassins Crerd)

    If at first you don't succeed, you can try, try and try again.

    If you're about to die in a fight, just get some medicine.

    Make allies, take all their resources and then screw them up - Sadly, that one actually works

    If you are detected by the authorities, you desynchronise and have to go past them again

    Civilians are robots

    That being good will get you some cool aesthetic effects and friendly conversation, but if you want ultimate power you have to hide grenades in peoples' trousers and tell everyone to fudge off.
