    Hello Giant Bomb community! Here we go again in the long-running Things You've Learned series!

    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.

    1) Burned over 90% of your body in a brush fire that you started...with a flamethrower? No problem, just quickly wrap a little bandage around your arm and you'll be good to go!

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

    6) All the hunting nonsense about choosing the right caliber rifle and everything is complete BS. Just pack up a pump shotgun and your trusty AK and go to town.

    17) When a silenced sniper bullet kills a dude no one notices until they find the body.

    18) But if you should miss - the entire camp is going to know the exact direction and position where that silenced sniper shot came from even if you're hundreds of meters away in a bush.

    19) A bear ravaging through an enemy camp is fun.

    20) A bear that is on fire ravaging through an enemy camp that is also on fire is more fun.

    21) With proper tattoos and on with certain drugs Jason Brody can run faster then Usan Bolt. 1.5x faster in fact (rough estimate) and over a much longer distance then 100m. Jason can basically outrun a car!

    26) that the definition of insanity is not only doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result but also asking that question over and over again.

    27) plant racism, no matter what plant you get as long as its the same color it and only do the same as other plants of that color.

    28) nobody cares that your running around with 119 stolen rare relics and is about to steal the last on on the entire island

    29) the skin of a bear fills as much as a leaf

    30) small scratches on you left arm or dislocated you right thumb is the most common injure when shot mauled or set on fire

    Oh god this. I got fucking swarmed by them.

    34. Despite having no formal military or combat training, Jason seems to have a very particular set of skills; skills he has acquired over a very long career. Skills that make him a nightmare for people like Vaas. If you let his friends go now, that'll be the end of it. He will not look for you, He will not pursue you. But if you don't, he will look for you, he will find you, and he will kill you.

    35) If you try to pick lily flowers from the waterfront a crocodile is going to suddenly without warning grab you by your mid section and pick you up into the air flinging you about as you die a terrible painful death. Thankfully I learned this by witnessing an innocent befalling such a fate, I sniped that croc in the face and took his sweet hide.

    42) If a game includes an in-game tablet that the player character has on them at almost all times which has the main purpose of showing a map, then it won't be on the WiiU.

    43) Turns out that if a guy is bleeding out from a gunshot wound in front of you, they will fall unconscious quicker if you hold the wound down - otherwise they will just bleed profusely but generally be okay.

    44) Both Far Cry 3 and Final Fantasy X use the same excuse as to why the noob-protagonist almost immediately becomes proficient with weaponry. (They play, like, extreme sports, man!)

    63. You should definitely leave your lone rescued friend with the crazy, Timothy Leary-esque doctor who calls her by the wrong name. There's no way this will end up with him wearing her skin as a coat.
