Forums → The Tavern → [old] Things you have learned from a Video Game

I have a few more...
If you kill someone, don't walk near them. They might have a live grenade on them

If you see a U.F.O in the middle of nowhere, and a gun that kills anything it touches with one shot, take it. It could be useful.

If you want to throw a knuckleball like Tim Wakefield, all you have to do is press X

Don't come to America from Ukraine. Your old life will follow you.

Turns out Goo was a highly reactive liquid chemical.
Like gasoline.
Or turpentine.
