Anyone else had video games help them in real life?
interview for it coop, boss asks me what my greatest personal acheivment is, tell him my lol rank, get hired on the spot. turns out he plays video games too
Jaxon Rivera

Brody Walker
Asked if I had any special skills in this interview...
I farted for 13 seconds straight.
Camden Wood
>in wold history >just after mid-terms "Hey, when are we going to use the textbook? You only gave us one reading assignment."
"user, you have reading assignments every night. They're in the syllabus."
>woops "user, you mean to tell me that you've only read one assignment all term? You usually score a 95 or higher on every test. How do you do that?" >explain how Civ5 hours are better than study time
Nathaniel Howard
>Civ5 >actual history pick one
Hunter Fisher
Nice. Enjoyed that little story.
Cooper Wilson
A few, I wrote essays about classism and racism using tales of symphonia, stole the quote "courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality" to make myself seem deep. Also wrote an philosophy essay about moral grey areas using examples from breath of fire 3 was applauded for my work. AlSo playing medal of honor helped me out on history tests in high school. There are better examples but I can't think of them
Jason King
>Civ 5 Knowing leader names and what each civ was known for in addition to paying attention in class
Stay jelly.
John Cruz
>being in philosophy class at all Nice cringe
David Cook
really? Civ 5 uses the most well known leaders for each country. Did you really not know who Caesar and Alexander the great were?
>in a dark alley confronted by three niggers >they look cracked out and say something like "what up cracka bitch where yo money at" >ohshit.jpeg >suddenly I feel power surging through my body >fall silent and meditate for a few moments >as they descend on me I suddenly plant into a shoto stance >"HADOUKEN" >they're all obliterated
Blake Perry
Pachacuti, Pacal, etc.
It's not all about that white history, bruh.
Sebastian Sanders
This never happened
Camden Baker
You have a shitty professor if he was caught off guard by a student skating around a question, saying basically nothing by parroting a short as fuck quote from a video game. And you are retarded for thinking that quote actually said something of value about death and that this made up story would make you seem cool.
I hope I don't trigger you though. I'm simply paraphrasing Katamari.
Eli Wilson
Nigger pls go
Gavin Rogers
Seriously what type of question would that help you with, unless the questions are easy as fuck. You know pachacuti was a leader of the inca empire, thats about it.
Jack Murphy
Oh god you're some kind of faggot.
There is no such thing as evil, for its all relative. Didn't Star Wars teach you anything?
Alexander Perez
>round of applause this doesn't happen in real life, keep it out of your fake stories next times
Caleb Foster
Kek
Jacob Hernandez
Also its a remarkably terrible and vague answer for a philosophy class.
Eli Morris
was interested in hearing what people had to say instead see everyone be super bitter about anything anyone says
Gabriel Reyes
>The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood. >Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.
what a load of shit, as if you'd remember that exact quote when instantly put on the spot. go kill your self you attenion seeking faggot
Leo Clark
come to work with me, i'll show you evil
Leo Myers
i'm certain all my years of playing video games have improved my vocabulary.
that's probably about it though.
Brayden White
>Philosophy >terrible and vague answers You're bring redundant user
Robert Miller
I highly doubt whatever you do is evil. Unless you work in a bank.
Alexander Cruz
/r/thathappened is leaking fuck off
Jacob Taylor
>how to spot a buttravaged OP 101
David Kelly
Fuck off dumbass. Don't you know where you are
Eli Sullivan
Nono, it's not what I do. It's what others do in the company.
Michael Richardson
This
Tyler Gutierrez
Vidya taught me english.
Adam Foster
Because for the most part video games don't improve life outside the game. At most youll have better hand finger coordination and get better at quick critical thinking for making decisions, depending on the games you play.
Owen Long
not even OP just someone who enjoyed the idea of the thread besides, everything is fake around here but since everyone ruined this one in particular I guess I'll go back to the fake tits instead
Grayson Sanchez
Where you going for a job in the oil and gas sector?
Brayden Nguyen
You sure convinced me.
Logan Brooks
>walking around some fields with english friend >guys a bit of a player and can pick up girls pretty easy >i'm a kissless virgin >couple of niggers out of no where try and jump us >i pick up a large stick and literally just spin in circles to keep them away >mate from no where throws a rock >nigger goes down >english mate yells "thats how we do it in Kingsport" >Mfw
Jack White
Kek gay
Noah Gonzalez
you do realize that there are shit tons of other texts and information you can read right? It is like a huge part of the game.
Though most ppl simply go LOL TLlDR
Tyler Hughes
>implying
Charles King
Games can teach plenty. Just as well as any book, just with interactive interface.
Also puzzle and critical thinking games improve cognitive function and logic. For really great "puzzle" games, look up zachtronics. Specifically TIS-100
Liam Morales
World History AP class question about how to make bronze or something.
Instantly knew it was tin and copper. Thanks Runescape.
Xavier James
Guess what? Theres even more text in your text book. And 1000x more accurate information. Civ5 is in no way a substitute for a history text book and you have to be rather delusional to think so. Now if were talking about Crusader kings or EU4, you can learn a lot from those games but still no replacement for a text book.
Thomas Harris
Stop using the word for like a faggot. It's fucking stupid and it makes you seem like a retard with limited vocabulary. It doesn't add anything to your statement and is even more out of place when you don't use the correct form if it's.
Oliver Perry
Quick. what makes gunpowder
Ryan Roberts
>Overreacting this much
Colton Ramirez
Oh god you fucking retard. You mean 'of "it's"'? Jesus Christ how can anyone be so stupid to misspell a TWO-LETTER-WORD
Landon Barnes
I agree with you. But still, out of all the threads that people make stupid bullshit in this could easily be more entertaining than everything else. I mean what other threads are on here these days? Porn, cancer, more porn, fake fantasy porn stories, more porn, etc. Why can't we just make shit up that isn't what we normally bullshit about?
Jose Reyes
>A simple, well formulated, one paragraph response to an thread starter on an open forum >overreacting Wew lad. No wonder you're taking philosophy classes and quoting video games.
Joshua Powell
Fuck if I know. If it's related to RS, then it came after my time. Coal and sulfur?
Logan Nelson
The problem is the bullshit is lame and non-believable. Tell an interesting and believable story and people will ask you questions, and not saying your story is crap.
Austin Walker
>paraphrasing Katamari The king of all cosmos never said anything like that. You're of your rocker dude
Nicholas Johnson
Wtf does that even mean
Kayden Morales
>implying America didn't build the great library >implying Ghandi didn't start nuclear war >implying Rome didn't ally with Japan, adopt communism and sneak attack the fascist Iroquois
Lucas Rogers
What game is that from?
Adam Baker
Oh no, someone made a comment about how a sentence was purposefully and ignorantly constructed in a way that comes accross as fucking stupid. What am I going to do? Oh look a letter is wrong.
Daniel Watson
Nigga, I'm still not OP.
Samuel Rogers
Pachacuteeeee!!! with the "e" at the end for gods sake why do you muricans have to make everything sound murica!!
I'm Peruvian btw
Kayden Rivera
I'm taking artistic liberties with my paraphrasing.
Juan Mitchell
Dude, go easy on yourself. Your syntax isn't THAT bad
Luke Jenkins
Not OP fag
Nolan White
Fair enough
Ryan Young
>Be 15 >Go to a chill high school for the 'bad' kids(expelled or stupid and lazy as fuck, I was the former) >teachers chill as fuck >One used a $4000 smart board daily at lunch to set up a gamecube with SSX tricky
>Black man history teacher >Whitewashed with a hint of ghetto now and again >Learning about Egypt >Show him Children of the Nile >Tells us to review the material and spends an hour playing it
He never gave a shit if you were stoned, just laughed and asked if you were having a good time.
Joshua Jackson
Did you know names of long dead people are often changed when translated to better fit the language? Thats how Cristoforo Colombo turns into Christopher Columbus.
Jacob Scott
>accurate information >in a >$100 corporate publisher book
What a great story.
Gavin Reed
diablo 3 you dubs getting faggot
Ethan Young
If you choose to believe in evil and good following your human traits then he's right choosing between what you think is a lesser evil and a greater one is hypocrite otherwise if you go out of the human sphere, there's not such a thing as good and evil in the universe
Thomas Adams
Sure thing, mate.
Cooper Ramirez
saying the names like an asian doesn't make it right
Juan Perry

Adam Myers
Don't know how to verify information? Its pretty simple really now that we have the internet.
Kayden Bell

Ryan Miller
Op's story aside, what the fuck are you talking about? Philosophy is nothing BUT vague, open-ended contemplation.
Brandon Thompson
should be autistic works of fiction and faslehood
James Thompson
In my last English class in high school I quoted gandalf in one of my essays and got a 90. Used the quote out of the book that talked about how some people deserve to die and are still living, and some are dead but deserve to live, and that unless you can control both you have no right to impede on the other or something like that.
Brayden Rogers
I dunno it goes both ways, there was a japanese columbo played by monkey magic's masaaki sakai.
Jaxson Foster
Chatcoal, sulphur, and potassium I think
Tyler Ortiz
Even if that actually happened, all you did was regurgitate some shallow bullshit that someone else threw together at the last second and you felt all warm and fuzzy inside for it.
Fuck you.
Matthew Wright
Only in merrica
Tyler Baker
You know how I know your story is fake though? You do the same shit tumblrinas do. "Everybody clapped". No they fucking didn't, in every fake story people clap and I have no fucking idea why you people think that's what real people do
William Cooper
>taking philosophy in college
Jace Gonzalez
I did the exact same thing with a man chooses, a slave obeys in an essay once.
Hudson Cox
This mofo obviously never played the real katamari
Nathaniel Cruz
Play strategy and simulator games since 1994 (got my first computer then) and you will pick up some skills.
Got accused of cheating in Business College because I was too fast in anything to do with accounting, payroll calculation and budgeting. Teacher tried to kick me out of school for that reason but failed because other students and I protested and told her I just did shit so fast out of habit because I played games involving so much numbers.
Got told not to show my face in her class anymore but still got good grades from the class anyway and a letter from principal confirming I did not cheat.
