What video game would you say has taught you the most about something that you’ve been able to use in the real world? This can be a simulator, or it can be any random game whose story or mechanics left you a little bit better off (Runescape taught me how to type).

    Does Rock Band count? I played rock band a lot on drums, bought so many song packs, played through to rock band 4. I ended up getting an electric drum kit, and it made it so much easier to play songs because I already was good with the coordination.
