What games did you learn epic skill levels with and then use that knowledge to get ahead in real life?

A lot of us have been playing video games since our early childhood. Interacting with our favorite medium for years but, outside the joy games can bring, does our dedication to them bring us any real-life benefits? Or to put it more bluntly, can the virtual skills we develop in video games materialize into real-life skills, and can we answer that question with some research and a jet ski? ___________ Support the people who make this show, vote for future Extra History topics, and get great perks at our Patreon! http://bit.ly/EHPatreon Subscribe & ! to our channel on YouTube at http://bit.ly/SubToEC Got more info about Extra Credits on our website at http://extracredits.site/ Grab your Extra Credits gear at the store! http://extracredits.store/ Watch this episode ad-free at https://watchnebula.com/extracredits ___________ Thanks for participating in this week's discussion!

It's probably too late to change, but an "r" of "Survival Rate" didn't survive the game "60 seconds" around 4:30.

Aw man! Thanks so much for the catch! Sadly it's too late for a change but I'll make sure to reprimand the beans responsible with fewer servings of holiday cookies this year. >:/

Why didn’t they video title changed? Was it because of the YouTube algorithm?

ExtraCredits
