Hello Giant Bomb community! Here we go again in the long-running Things You've Learned series! We've been doing this for years, let's keep it going with Grand Theft Auto V!

Remember, please do not post any spoilers, and try to keep the numbering consecutive if at all possible...it'll save me a ton of work. Also, try to read through the thread before replying and avoid posting duplicates, those will be deleted eventually. If you've never played before, check out some of the previous threads so you can get an idea of how it's done. I'll start!

1) Carrying a concealed minigun and 10,000 rounds of ammunition is no problem!

7) Face-planting into fence posts and buildings is fun.

8) Hitting a pole while driving a 4-wheeler is deadly, but being flung out of a car moving at extremely high speeds is A-OK.

23) Whether you are the owner of the local biker bar or not, the bikers will not tolerate you hanging out there.
