What Practical Skills Have You Learned From Video Games? - General

just what the title says I learned time managment and ability to find the shortest route to the destination from [b]Grand Theft Auto[/b] and [b]Postal 2[/b]

when i played them as a kid, videogames damn near taught me how to read and gave me a much wider vocabulary since i always liked to read all the descriptions and guides and everything else of the sort that they had to offer i'd say that's pretty practical

I learned that if you do not believe in the god I believe in, you deserve to be killed in brutal ways thanks to [I]Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War.[/I]

I played a lot of 1080 snowboarding on N64 and it helped me pass a math test about angles :v:

Stalker series taught me to throw bolt at place that you are not sure safe,and this one saved my ass. When me and my friends are about to enter an abandoned house,i threw small bolt on the metal sheet and the house answer with a loud bark.

How to reload a vast array of weapons that I will never use or even see with my own eyes, in the most tactical operator of ways unless WW3 becomes real... Or zombies... Probably WW3. Zombies are bs.

Arma 3 taught me that you should definitely heed the signs telling you that there is a mine field up ahead.

MMORPGS helped me as an adult learn more about supply/demand and economics than they taught in school. They also helped fuel paranoia about how people may not be what they seem or not even human. Courtesy of MMORPGS with a group finder that occasionally will put you in a team with "power level service"/farm bots.

Dorf Fort puts a teeny little geologist inside all of us.

Runescape taught me that bronze was an alloy of copper and tin, something that actually came up on more than one school test yet they never actually taught us.

My typing speed wouldn't even be half of what it is if I hadn't played CS:S without a mic when I was like 10

It helped my learn touch typing. Not through educational programs, but wanting to play Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, and Quake without looking at the keyboard.

The Touhou games, and online videogames made me learn to control my anger

My typing skills, I used to play a lot of Roblox and had to learn to type faster and not look at the keyboard so that I could communicate with my friends more effectively. I can type pretty quickly now

Not to play video games

I learned that taking drugs is okay.

How to pronounce data. [editline]16th January 2017[/editline] and guitar hero taught me rhythm.

The ability to make efficient arrangements with what little space I have to work with. Thank you, Diablo 2, for teaching me the infinite potential of Inventory Tetris. And I guess Tetris, for giving me a primer on the subject.
