Has playing games helped you improve any aspect of your life?

Other then keep it up(don't give up) none.

yeah it has, getting into my local fighting game scene has helped me meet people with similiar interests, most of them are pretty cool guys.

None; and I agree with above poster.

I learnt some new insults on XBL

Sure. I'll go with this by saying that games have succeeded in fulfilling my overall happiness. Outside of that though my life hasn't been improved in any significant way.

I learned basic English through gaming and reading the dialogue in RPG's when I was little. With the help of my father of course, I always asked him whats the meaning of this word or that word when I couldn't understand a sentence said in the game. I also learned a bit about how to structure my sentences by taunting bots in Quake 3 (if I remember right, you had to write properly to get a good reply out of them, otherwise they just wouldn't understand you)

That's more or less how I started learning English, I learned all the advanced stuff from my teachers at school, obviously.

Yeah, i'm not bored in life.

i am with odin there has been any real improvement in real life, games helps me feel better.

Problem solving, I suppose.

Other then keep it up(don't give up) none.

I learned english :lol:

Hell yeah. You see, it's not every day that there is a war or an alien/zombie invasion going around in which you can just sign in and fight a bit without the fear of dying, for every time it happens you just respawn. ;) So, PC games let you get away for a while, feel some excitement and have a great load of fun.

PC games have opened my views and interests in many things. e.g: While I was playing Medieval: Total War I used to read a lot of books about those ages. Call of Duty opened a new perspective of WW2 for me and even now, WW2 isoneof myfavourite subjects - I have seen almost every WW2 documentary on TV and Youtube.

Helped me make a lot of good friends who are gamers themselves.

PC games are just a new way of having fun. To all people who are not gamers and find video games dumb: ACCEPT THE EVOLUTION!!!

my love for games inspired me to open my own business, buying and selling games and consoles, which ive now been running for 20 years :)

Nothing except lower my grades. :D

i learned the complex skill of throwing a controller(or similar object) in frustration without damaging anything too important. took some trial and error

I don't play games to find any real fulfillment. I think it is neat to be able to do incredible actions through a game. For instance I could never go on an epic journey and cast fireballs.

i see it the other way around. My love of fiction and fantasy is improved by gaming since it is an avenue that can be used to act out that which I am already interested in.

some english when i was younger and thats all

I have gained ninja-like reflexes.

Games give me motivation to make more money!
