Sometimes even fun games can teach you things.

Tell us about what you've learned from playing video games!

Lightyear is a measure of distance, not time. *Had to say it, even though I already knew it by the time I got to the first Gym XD*

Heh, that's is why I avoid mics. I don't want to play my video games to the soundtrack of 11 year old boys who can't stop swearing.

RTS games taught me that I need a better, less laggy computer if I'm ever going to micromanage anything.

- Fallout 3 has taught me that, no matter how many days may pass, you will always be 19.
- Stomping enemies is more effective than shooting them.
- Locked doors = you're screwed.
