I love this! Playing video games has so many benefits that the mainstream world is yet to realize. Personally, the greatest benefit video games have given me is strategical thinking--especially from games like Sid Meir's Civilization and the Elder Scrolls series.

One of my favorite professors in college actually does some pretty interesting research on games and international diplomacy, I thought you should check it out.
