What real-life skill did you learn from a videogame? #gaming

As a kid, at about 9 or 10 years old, I loved the game Mercenaries! I loved to fuck around in this game and blow up tons of cities with C4 or highjack countless vehicles and helicopters from the North Koreans. But incidentally, I learned how to read and navigate maps really well from this game. You would have to go all over, to different corners of the map, to complete missions or capture different North Korean high ranking officials.

To this day, I credit this game with teaching me how to read and navigate maps.
