have you ever learned a tangible real world skill from playing video games?

I double jumped once when I was in severe danger

How to kill

I know how to smelt steel with shit I can find behind my house.

Thanks, dorfs.

you what

Autistically enough, yeah.

Usually from The Sim though.

I can run out of breath after sprinting for 5 seconds

In a way. I wanted a job to buy a nice PC so I took lifeguard training. So I know how to do Heimlich and CPR n shit.

...

The basics of CQC

I pretty much learned english thanks to vidya.

I remember playing spyro 2 with an english dictionary by my side, paying attention to how sentences were constructed, where should i look for the key words, most common objectives...

And today im one of the best english readers / listeners from my college.

ops. "i should"

Got into judo and later MMA thanks to Metal Gear Solid 3. Could literally do a few locks and throws because I had learned the basics of CQC and autistically sometimes did dry throws in the air.

He double jumped one time when he was in severe damger.

Same here, god bless videogames, and google translator

>Wall jump

I learned about the "recovery" position from Ground Zeroes. When you lay Paz down at the extraction site, she rolls over onto her back and Big Boss rolls her back on her side, with her arms and legs positioned a certain way so she can't roll back again.

English. It is literally the greatest skill one can learn from vidya. I speak it so fluently, I can trick Amerifats into thinking I'm one of them in Mumble and Discord.
>"alright, i gotta go to bed"
>"what? it's like 8pm dude"
>"yeah and its 2am here"
>"what? where do you live?"
>"yurope"
>"wow why did you move there?"
>"born and raised. lived here all my life."
>"why the fuck do you sound american though"

English, geography, the history of medieval Europe, Japanese. But most of those weren't just from vidya. As for any physical skills, lolno. Except maybe carpal tunnel.

You ever think you're not fluent and just speak like a retard?

is this the wikihow thread?

HE
WHAT?

I used to make my video game characters walk because I thought running/jogging everywhere was unrealistic, but then I tried it out and realized that jogging everywhere was kinda fun. It gets the blood flowing and helps me get places faster, so I guess that's something.

...

Jumped once and while mid-air, jumped a second time.

How to kickflip thanks to that contest video on THPS3.

No. Last time I visited a friend in New Jersey, I was at a party with a friend. Some nigger called me out on not actually being foreign and thought I was talking literal gibberish so I could get attention. Showed him a jewtube video in my language and repeated what the video said and he backed off.

yes that thought has come to mind. sometimes the accent slips out during intense moments of vidya with friends

I have seen this picture several times, but just now read the small title:

"how to survive a school or workplace shootout"

>School shootings are so common in america the make tutorials how survive / react.

Toppest of the keks.

Enhanced reasoning and organization skills. No joke.

>live in India
>have to watch a youtube video of how to use a toilet

He...He's fast!

>h-he's fast!

>be american
>evolve an afterimage to confuse shooters

...

I learned how to manipulate the stock market.

tetris attack taught me how to manage information at high speeds

through assassinations?

*teleports behind you*

Step 1: ?????
Step 2: Kick them from behind

MASAKA

who draws those pictures anyway

reminder that the human body was literally made for running/jogging over long distances. with practice you can literally run for days straight without having to stop and arrive at your destination just fine (though obviously tired)

Inventory management, Problem solving.

I also learned proper jogging and sneaking technique from vidya.

>He doesn't know about the wonders of Wikihow

>that first image

HIYAI

...

>not using based akido

The best part of the tutorial is where it says "don't carry a gun to protect yourself against people with guns. Use scissors or books."

>hes too fast!

i-is he ok?

god bless Hori for giving this a better filename

What wikihow is his from?

Did he died

It's a rubber knife demonstration about how fucking useless 99% of people are against someone with a knife. As long as it's wielded properly and not like a vuggen slashing weapon.

How to survive falls from long distances

Meme me.

>Step one: Survive the crash
>Step two: Leave plane

>Step three: Change shirt

>So what, is he gonna like block it with the jacket and do some sick kung-fu shit?
>Okay so he's got the knife wrapped in his coat
>Oh
>Oh wait no he doesn't
>Oh.
>oh...

You didn't forgot them, did you?

>when you run so fast your shirt changes color

should I change clothes before or after I jump out and run away from the tumbling plane?

I am a powerful shaman

Be sure to change out of your clothes before exiting

>Mario abandons Luigi to his fate

It's weird I see this thread now; I'm on lunch break during a St John's first aid course, and we literally just covered infant choking. This was about 15 minutes ago.

Why are you guys practicing choking infants?

It's blood. Of those who didn't survive.

so how do you choke an infant?

I wanna know for... uhm.. a friend's sake

...

...

Just feed them normally, they choke all the time because babies are fucking dumb.

when i got to drivers ed and realized that driving an actual car is 1000 times easier than playing mario kart all of the apprehension i had instantly vanished.

i have a friend who learned how to drum playing rockband and now he plays drums in an actual rockband.

>being this new

Useless! It's all useless!

There's no way wikihow exists

you know what
I think I legitimately struggled with 150cc rainbow road more than I did actually learning how to drive

Learned how to swim by watching Banjo-Kazooie do it.

S M A L L B O M B S

Yeah, sauce?

Someone told me these are by poor Vietnamese or Flip being paid $1 a day.
You sure it's not some Deviant artists?

They do that on their own.
If you want to make sure they survive it involves holding them in a recovery position and smacking them on the back 5 times.

>100cc toad's turnpike

leave you retard

...

Why would VN Shiki be wearing LN/movie Shiki's jacket? Fuck whoever made this image.

why did you remind me

A loading screen from the punisher ps2 game teaches you how to remove bloodstains from clothing.

can't I just try to push down whatever it is they're choking on with a suitable slightly flexible tube shaped org.. I mean object?

Oh shit now I want to smack some infants

>This speed....it's impossible!

It's awwright.

Nah
Thanks

so you are just taking on a fake accent when you speak american?

Passive distrust
better to learn it losing virtual data than tangible goods


also mathematical probability , I use to hate it but its a necessity


yes they are heavily related

the two

>mfw I didn't realize you were supposed to CQC The Boss

A father could do that too.
