Have You Ever Learned Something From A VideoGame?

Time for Tell Us Dammit.

Here's how it works: We ask a question, you answer it. Simple and no strings attached! This isn't some marketing survey or whatever. It's an emotional investment in you. Yes, we're interested in knowing you, reader person.

You probably know oodles about us - more than you even want to, we're sure. But, hey, we'd like to know about you. That way you won't be some faceless blob - and we might feel a tinge of guilt when we ban ya. Or not, because really we're incapable of human emotion.

I actually have learnt quite a lot from playing video games, nothing that major but a few questions have been asked when I used to go to school that I only knew the answer to because I've seen it in a game.

Actually since I grew up in the 80's and edutainment was all the rage I have learned a lot from games, math, spelling, and spent way too much time on Carmen Sandiego

I have learned quite a bit of information about real Weapons, and gadgets from the Metal Gear series. Although some of it is fictional, a lot of time and effort went into researching real weapons. They had a military advisor for the recent ones. Also learned a lot about various flora and fauna from MGS 3.
