Reloading a firearm while a round is still in the chamber is quicker, and can save your life.

Time stops for farmers once it gets dark out. That's why they should do all of their social activity and chores around the neighborhood during the day time. Then they can work on the farm all night. If they get exhausted, they just go to the hot springs for a bit and then get back to work.

I learned that to enjoy life you have to ignore the people that annoy you, let the crazy world pass you by, appreciate your beautiful surroundings, ingest as many different consumables as possible and never try to set unrealistic goals from the Final Fantasys.

I learned that other children existed mostly to serve as a "buffer" to allow me chances to collect enough power-ups to defeat serial killers at camp. Eventually I would panic when too many other kids had died already, or if Jason was getting too powerful a weapon. Fortunately I had my career as an egg-smashing space knight riding on a flying ostrich I could fall back on. Whew!

I learned that although at first it might seem important to get the "brass rings" at work, what really matters in life is not the accrual of wealth. What is most important are emeralds. To get the emeralds in life I gotta go fast.

You can commit a lot of low-level crimes at minimal risk if you are near an alley with a police bribe in it.

Also, I learned to shoot everyone and everything. But always hoard your grenades for fighting boss battles and armored vehicles.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

Mega Man Legends 2 forced you to memorize all kinds of trivia to pass some test to get a license or something, it was actually a cool idea, (although answering "What group sang Hungry Like The Wolf?" seemed really loving weird in a Megaman universe)

Some keys disappear after you use them once. Some keys open all the doors that match them and don't disappear. Some keys don't seem to go to anything, which means you have to double back and try using it on all the locks over and over.

On that same note, keys are either completely weightless or so massive you can only carry one at a time.
