The references, and knowledge you get from gaming is really astounding.
Asura's Wrath has a lot of references to Gods.~
Aegis is Greek meaning shield. (Persona 3. Protects the main character.)
999: That thermometer question was on a test just a few days after I played it. Got it right, and it's now stored in my memory.
There's a ton more, but if you look behind the games it's really interesting to find out the little bits of information stored inside games. (Before I typically just played them, and enjoyed them. I pursued the game no further after I finish it, but now I take the time to. In order to better understand it.)
It's been comment that my hand-eye coordination is pretty good. Simple things like someone's pencil falling off the table, or dropping a piece of paper and me catching it on the spot gets noticed sometimes. I'm betting it's the reaction time in video games, that allows me to do so.
EDIT: And in Call Of Duty: Black Ops, I've learned a lot about the Vietnam war and such. Their tactics, and such. We're starting to cover Kennedy's era, and it's nice to know a bit about "Nuke Town", and the like.
