Top Five things you can learn from driving games:

5: Good lane discipline - weave between the lanes to avoid the traffic.
4: Your car runs not on fuel, but on time. If you don't reach a checkpoint you will run out of time, and your car will stop moving.
3: If you crash don't worry, keep going, nobody minds!
2: Cars have a 'Nitro boost' button, but you can only press it a certain number of times.
1: Though there is a brake, it need never be used, taking your finger (or foot) from the accelerator works just as well.

Top Five things you can learn from First Person Shooters

5: Abandoned warehouses often contain large deposits of ammunition.
4: When people die, they disappear shortly afterwards.
3: You can crawl as fast as you can walk, plus nobody will see you.
2: You can carry a large arsenal of weapons about your person, including rocket launchers, grenades and land mines, without stuggling to hold them all.
1: eating the food straight from the floor, no matter how long it has been there will not make you sick, it will make you stronger!

Top Five things you can learn from RPGs.

5: People will wander around their village for hours on end, telling you the same thing every time you speak to them.
4: Bad guys will wait for you to hit them before they hit back.
3: Evil villians never destroy the weapons that can defeat them, but hide them in deep dungeons.
2: Monsters will be invisible until the moment they chose to attack.
1: Shopkeepers will refuse to buy important items from you, but will happily give you money for your junk!

Top Five things you can learn from Real Time Strategies:

5: One man alone can build a town centre, and these town centres can produce fully grown men.
4: Men cannot walk between trees, they must go around them all.
3: Men can live for many hundreds of years.
2: All enemies wear the same colour, and never think to change colours to trick you.
1: Rome WAS built in a day. In fact it was built in under a minute.
