It's influenced me and my life.

All puzzles and problems have a solution; just like a game.
I learned how to read by playing pokemon.
I understand logic thanks to puzzle games like Portal.
I recognize common gun models and makes... thanks to shoot em ups.
I know right and wrong... thanks to stereotypical game characters.

Yup. Vidya games changed my life, and I'm better for it.

@boogschd » Have you tried saying "up up down down left right left right A B start select"? Perhaps you can level skip to the bit where you have lots of money.
