What You Can Learn From Resident Evil

---

Resident Evil was released in 1996, and changed the gaming world. It also apparently taught a lot of people some interesting lessons.

Japan's biggest online billboard, 2ch, was abuzz recently under the thread titled, "What we learned from Biohazard (Resident Evil)" (俺達がバイオハザードから学んだこと).

Here is a sample from the life lessons of Resident Evil.

• For close-quarters combat, a knife is faster.
• The gun called a Magnum is super strong.
• Stairs are terrifying.
• You can heal wounds with herbs.
• If you're a protagonist, getting bitten by a zombie doesn't infect you.
• Run close to the walls.
• You can take care of any monster, so long as you have a knife.
• Ink ribbons are valuable.
• You can resurrect people with an emergency spray.
• Don't work for a pharmaceutical company.
• Always have a crank.
• Make sure you lock rooms with pointless puzzles.
• Do not ride Capcom helicopters.

Of course, just how much of this is applicable in real life is debatable.

So, what has the Resident Evil series taught you? For me, I suppose the greatest life lesson I ever learned from the Resident Evil series was that the number "6" looks like a giraffe getting a blowjob...

But then again, I've never been one of the most apt of pupils.
