    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!

    Check out some of the previous Things You've Learned™:

    6) It might just be me, but playing Trevor seems to increase your chances to get into a random violent situation with about 200% (and that's not counting anything story/side-mission related).

    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.

    9) The Los Santos Police Department has the most intuitive investigators. If a criminal sets off a remote explosion, all police officers in the area immediately know who did it and the suspect's exact location.

    30) In Los Santos and surrounding areas people aren't concerned about paying too much for a taxi. Some will even take a taxi from downtown Los Santos to the other side of the map.

    43. If you already own a particular suit or shirt but forgot yours at home, just pop in to the shop that sells it and take another one for free. It's totally fine, and the clerk will even thank you for coming in.
