A thought has just occurred to me: the MythBusters have never tackled any video game myths. I know, it's random, but just let me go with it. Here's the question: can you guys even think of any video game related myths? Let me start things:
 
Does blowing on the cartridge really work?
Can you run and jump on walls a la Ubisoft games?
 
Anything else is welcome.

Will eating a red mushroom make you grow, will eating a green one give you an extra life, will eating an orange flower give you fire breathing abilities.

Does mashing your pudgy thumb all over the D-Pad on a Game Boy really help you catch Pokemon more effectively?

If player 1 is on top, player 2 can't get it pregnant. Ya know. Cuz of gravity and stuff.  That is why vertical is always better than horizontal.

@Video_Game_King: Man, I haven't watched that show in ages. I think the channel that shows it down here have been putting it in a less-than-charitable time slot recently.

We all were. The truck would not move, Pikablu did not exist, the grass beyond the fence did not hide the rarest Pokemon you could imagine, and Gary was not cooler in Pokemon Green.

Its not purely video game related but, does sitting too close to the television send you blind? I've never heard of anyone going blind.

I remember all of those things from first and second grade. And then it was revealed that PikaBlu was just Marill, a crappy water pokemon and I was crushed.

Same.  Marill was so lame, but he grew on me eventually.

@creamypies: A girl in my high school once fell over a wall that went halfway up your shin. She fall so bad that she eventually got gangrene in unreachable spots inside of her, and she had to get her leg amputated. It was literally like a 11" wall.

I wasn't too disappointed by Marill. Sure, he was not even close to Pikachu, but I was in elementary school! I was an idiot.
