Oh, that? I learned it in a videogame

[Reaper195]

Metal Gear Solid taught me how to take out killer robots. Very useful nowadays.

 

[bennytheodd]

I learned to clean my guns frequently from System Shock 2 (and my father figure, but SS2 first). It has served me well.

 

[The3rdEye]

Shoot 'em in the head.

Oh, and that "Found Ham" is both delicious and essential to a healthy body.

 

[Junkle]

Civilization and Assassin's Creed helped with history. What really got me off the ground, however, was Age of Empires. Good times.

I also have basic knowledge of cars, guns, swords, gunswords, tanks, and probably computers thanks to video games.

 

[hannan4mitch]

I learnt alot about strategy and tactics from playing alot of RTSs (I love them. My current Fav is Rise of Legends. The Vinci master unit kicks ass.)

 

[Baralak]

I learned about multiple types of archaic weaponry due to RPGs, and the different kinds of dice from tabletop RPGs. Filling out character sheets also helped my handwriting, and got me better at simple math.

 

[Drexlor]

I learned a lot about WWII from CoD3.

 

[Technocrat]

UFO Aftermath helped my understanding of Geography - I'd never even heard of Brno before it, let alone where it was!

I also have Operation: Flashpoint to thank for showing me the variety of cold war military hardware. I've had people confused when I tell them that no, it's not a Kalashnikov, it's an M-16, and them asking "What's the difference?" before I launch into long, nerdy descriptions.

 

[lacktheknack]

I learned a ridiculous amount about navigation of computers and how computers work trying to make Dos games work.

 

[recoverytwo]

I learned how to win a spitting contest, believe it or not I actually used the info recently.

 

[SpireOfFire]

i learned that life doesnt have a save system or a restart button.

which puts me shit out of luck.

 

[DrEmo]

Videogames taught me that handguns are weaker than rifles, even at close range and hitting vital points.
/sarcasm

 

[TiefBlau]

50% of my elementary school vocabulary was acquired from Pokemon Red Version.

 

[Crimson King]

I will defend, to my death, that GTA: San Andreas helped make me a better driver.

Also, thanks to S.T.A.L.K.E.R., I did a whole bunch of research on the chernobyl disaster since i found it very interesting. Learned alot from that.[/quote]
This. 100X this. Um Alchohol cures radiation (S.T.A.L.K.E.R and FO3) /sarcasm. Otherwise I have nothing that I can remember.

 

[Spiner909]

Thanks to RuneScape, I learned that bronze= copper + tin.

 

[Nouw]

I learnt how to spell this really hardcore word from Dawn Of War Soulstorm, Flanking from Dawn Of War 2 and Company Of Heroes.

I also learnt a lot of things from Company Of Heroes

 

[Heavic]

i learned most of my WW2 knowledge from battlefield 1942

I learned a lot about WWII from CoD3.

Well did you like the part were Hitler was a super evil cyborg from the future that road bio-engineered land sharks?
