Same. Sad thing though is I type almost entirely with my left hand for the same reason :s

I met my wife at a LAN Center in 2007 and we got married early 2008, and now have been married for 1.5 yrs and have a baby girl thats almost 4 months old.

When I was younged, I moved to a small town after living in Phoenix, so I was used to city life and not a small town where everyones in everyone elses business. I picked up Starcraft then, made alot of friends and met quite a few of them who I keep in contact today after 9 years and still get together every once in awhile and reminisce .

Typing speed. That's about it. It's just a different way to pass the time, tis all.

But I can definitely see the language thing being awesome for dudes who don't speak english first. A lot of people learn by games, tv, etc when they come here.

SC: multitasking.
Also, I've learned a few vocabulary words from video games (Shako a.k.a. Harlequin's Crest anyone?)

gaming doesnt help in life, it warps the mind, distorts the body, and damages health.
without gaming civilisation would be 100x better off.

Il still game till i die tho
"Bonjwa" is the most retarded word ever. Wtf does it even sound like.

Actually back in high-school I lead a pretty large guild in an MMORPG which forced me to mature extremely quickly. People who don't play video games would assume that being a leader in a game wouldn't develop leadership skills but it's actually a great exercise. Obviously an upside of MMORPGs is that you interact with people way more than in FPSs and RTSs. You have to learn to understand your guilds needs and somehow create cohesion between people who don't physically know each other. It was really an interesting experience, and quite enriching for the kid i was back then.
