What has gaming taught you?

If life was like games it would a hell of a lot more fun.

<Guns don't kill people they kill aliens>
 
There have also been studies which have pointed out such revelations. The U.S Army uses gaming as a tool for recruitment, which must count for something. Studies have proven that gaming improves spatial awareness, cognitive abilities, problem solving, resource management, teamwork to name just a few.

Any of you old myb members still remember the article about the American Army game. Where the guy saved someone life because of the training you had to go trough before you could play the game.
 
Depends on the games, I can identify quite a few different guns, aircraft and various other vehicles.
 
Much like Lupus, I can identify weapons and vehicles easily, but along with that gaming is good training in reflexes and fine motor skills.
 
If ever I'm faced with having to reload NUMEROUS weapons in RL, I'll be able to.

Although, reloading an AK is actually harder than it looks. Front part of the clip in the receiver FIRST, then clip the back part in!
 
Old Sierra adventure games taught me English.
"open door"
"look around"

And having to constantly fiddle around with an obsolete pc to get games to work also taught me a few pc skills.

I've played many games and I am very keen games, and I have learned to repair and update the game when it fails, I also upgraded my pc so the best can play
 
3 important things gaming has taught me.

Faster reaction times.
Everything in moderation.
NEVER judge a book by its cover.
 
Surprisingly enough, gaming got me into writing. After reading a lot of text from the Final Fantasies I was quite sufficiently inspired to write stories/poems/ stream of consciousness-es myself.

I also think it taught me determination, you know, how games have particular objectives and you have to get them no matter what? Definitely got that from games.
 
Games taught me to be more disciplined actually - they can be quite addictive, and it takes quite an effort to learn to not spend all your time playing them, but rather persuing other hobbies too.
 
I know alot of guns and other military hardware now.
know some military tactics
learnt everything i need about PCs
go me into mythology, history
and the usual faster reflexs etc.

I've always thought that if you want to point out other people's shortcomings, you should probably sort out your own first :p

Seconded, I learned to keep my axe and chainsaw close for when this happens
Everyone knows you can't fight a zombie herd without a decent chainsaw

I prefer shotguns - I keep the chainsaw for when I run out of ammo :p

Games also taught me that if you get shot you heal after a few seconds - and dying means you can respawn later :D
 
Ah you forget the older games you had to find health packs, hamburgers or something else to heal... I learnt the quickest way to kill a zombie is blow it's head off, otherwise you wasting ammo
