margaret is greek it means a pearl

People would dream in black and white back when television was black and white

Dildo is a city in Canada.

I dream in black and white, except lucid dreams.

Somehow I've learned a lot of mythology references from video games.

People die if they are killed.

Yes I learned how to speak english from playing vidya

False, a Bronze Bar is 50% Copper Ore and 50% Tin Ore.

>Not realizing the OP made this mistake on purpose so people will bump his thread by making fun of him.

yall are the real retards.

Thousands of tons of nuclear waste are put away and "Forgot" about every year.

I learned lots about history from the Age of Empires manual. 10 years after playing the game, I joined the Army in a construction job.

"Whoever answers this gets the rest of the day off. On the Corps of Engineers logo, what are these things called?"

"C-CRENELLATIONS."

Other than that war never changes? Except when it does. Not much.

PROUD People of Color (PoC) were the driving force in every major battle in World Word I. Sorry racists ;)

I thought this said "Booze" at first and was confused.

Europa Universalis 4 taught me about the colonial origins of most new world nations, the different Chinese empires, the treaty of Tordesillas, native american tribe names and locations, French Russian and Castillian history, Italian geography, Germanic nations, world religions, and shittons of other interesting historical facts

Your picture is wrong and so are most video games.

Bronze is usually about 12% tin and has trace amounts of other metals in it to make it harder and more usable.

OP stands for original poster, so saying "the original poster" is correct.

>Dublin down on retardation

Another language

I made up a story about Red Alert for tesla coils. Unseen in the game, a tiny projectile is fire that reduces the targets electric charge so that the coil can shoot them with electricity.

more than i expected

>They get huezil instead

Its amazing to think that these are the people who used to rule kingdoms. Different times I guess

how can vidya teach me anything if i already now everything?

They haven't really taught me much but they have gotten me to research topics that I would not have normally had any interest in.

(You)

>so

Wait did they actually confuse brazil for india or am i imagining this? Turns out im either dumber than i thought or videogames lied to me

They taught me finance management, engineering, architecture, and design

don't play comp

...

>that even be tested
it literally can't be tested. It would be similar to claim to know what happens after death

Never give up. Never give in.
Life is not a game, but it will be over some time.

I got my grandfather off my back thanks to Medal of Honor Vanguard. He was an asshole that would yell and scream about everything, spending any time with him was awful. He almost made me watch the entirety of some show with him, I think Band of Brothers, because he decided I needed to become an expert on WWII. He asked me a few questions and fortunately they were all covered in that game.

>There are many different bronze alloys, but typically modern bronze is 88% copper and 12% tin.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze#Composition_and_alloys

He made a reference to Runescape.

>up to 25% tin

12% is less than 25%

I can't remember any useful facts I've learned from vidya but I've definitely learned a lot of my values from games, movies, and comics.

It taught me that people generally have shitty taste. I kind of knew this to begin with becaause of all the dogshit pop music that constantly tops the charts but garbage and halfassed games raking in the big bucks year in year out compounded my suspicions.

>thanks runescape.jpg
Thanks playing the drums, more like.

Its not only shitty taste, it also taught me that 90% of human beings lack "common sense" and are straight up incapable to execute basic tasks

>i don't know what up to means
I bet you're one of those people who calls up their ISP and sperges because they don't get exactly 60Mb/s down.

How likable/unlikeable people from countries around the world are.

と translates to gold

played tonnes of wargames as a kid

Now I can identify pretty much any military vehicle in the world, land or air, even down to the specific variant. Never had a chance to put it into real practice but sometimes I just point shit out if anyone asks

I would never have been able to speak and write English fluently if it weren't for video games.

As an Irishman this image is complete and utter bullshit. We're arseholes, i'd rather play with a Brit than an potato.

Considering by that point they had already sailed over the Pacific Ocean a million times and back, I'd imagine they did not confuse Brazil for India

Good thing the image does point out irishmen are disrespectful and dickass thieves.

...

I haven't played 4, but 3 was the same for me. Had literally no idea about a good chunk of pre-renaissance European political geography.

Also learned a lot of new words thanks to Sunless Sea and Fallen London.

>lag
How does lag not have significant bearing on this chart?

lag should be a -- for Austrialia at the very least.

Wasteland 2 taught me cat litter can absorb nuclear radiation. Wikipedia confirmed it.

...

Americans egocentric as always, not everyone lives in your country so lag shouldn't be a factor on such an image at all.

thats pretty cool, user

they did, not brazil but the american continent, why do you think they call the natives "indians"

It taught me that deep down, there's a light that never goes out.

>teached

12th post best post

I'm not American. Literally every Austrailian i know has the word lag in their name as an in joke.

Dwarf fortress has taught me so much about rocks I could be a fucking geologist

>the

I learned that anyone who takes video games very seriously is likely autistic.

Persona 5 taught me several random factoids that I've already forgotten.
Well except the one about how all of the worlds gold could fit inside 2 Olympic swimming pools that one was neat.

What is this, 1998?

Eat a dick eurotrash

They confused america for the east coast of asia and islands near it, they thought China would be further west.

Goddamn indian cameras and their low resolutions

>yfw I was only in bronze league in StarCraft 2

What else do you call a relatively peaceful dictator that DoWs you with nukes as soon as you make a city near him

Civs taught me a lot of insignificant leaders, unique aspects to their cultures and capitals.
I was administered an IQ test a few years back and 2questions were answered in my head from years of Civ playing.

Man really fuck Mexico, every single one that I know is a total shitter or a cheater

Including being a weeb or fucking underage, even both

Don't IQ tests usually give you stuff like shape puzzles to solve?

I learned what the word Philistine meant

>Mostly literally who plus signs

Fuck off snow chinks

About con men.

Bioshock infinite taught me how to assault those stupid niggers.
