 Re: Things you've learned from video games.
I learned the bulk of my knowledge of the Vietnamese war from playing Battlefield: Vietnam ( a game which I feel guilty when I play) I learned that the philosophies of Political innovators such as Voltaire and Hobbes apply to today's society by playing Counter Strike Source Zombie mod (probably one of the most intense zombie game I have ever played) I also learned teamwork from the game as well and how proper communication can determine the difference between life and death I learned tactics from Battlefield

 Re: Things you've learned from video games.
Just as a reminder... the object of this game is to say something you've learned from a video game so that someone else can guess which game you learned it from.
I learned that eating fruit can turn you into a monster.

 Re: Things you've learned from video games.
Who says? My first list was just naming off random things from TF2. People can guess if they want, but I think this is just more to be silly. After all, some things are a bit to obscure to guess, and some things are tropes found in tons and tons of games. As for your game...Hmm...not sure, actually. You've got me stumped. L4D2! Super Smash Bros. Brawl! (Ninjaed by Brawler! *Shakes Fist*) I learned that you can repel nearly 10 full grown adults at once buy swinging something in front of you.

I learned that the only way to truly defeat your arch enemy is to go back in time and abort their birth as they scream for you to stop, over and over again. Also praying helps...
