Proof That Video Games Have Taught Us More Than Any Lesson In School

It's in the game.

If anything, video games are an important part of a child's life. You learn strategies, techniques and playing against your friends can help you understand the importance of coming out on top. Outside of dominating opponents, every game you play comes with an important lesson. Video games will teach important lessons such as finding secret paths on roads that could lead to an alternate universe. You never know what you'll come across. Thankfully, these folks proved that video games are a way of life.

This could be a great school project to show off to your woodshop teacher. There's a chance they'll give bonus marks for the perfection of this Banjo-Kazooie figurine.

Game tags can be license plates too. They might not mean anything, but they make the plate much more unique compared to standard one people at the DMV will give you. It wouldn't be surprising if somebody had a license plate with 'L3TS A G0!" as a tribute to Mario.

Even on family vacations, you can get the VR anywhere, including the beach. Personally, that wouldn't be such a great idea. The second that comes off your head, you're going to have one bad tan line. The worst part is that they're probably doing some virtual swimming right now.

When gaming, you have to be ready for battle. The same thing can work with school, but who cares, right? Even though it's just a video game, it didn't stop one gamer from dressing like he's ready for WWIII. He's even got the proper gear to fight the bad guys too.

Oh yes, the Wii Fit. Probably one of the most useless things video gamers have ever purchased. This board for the console has to be used for something, so one store had to use it as a door holder because really, nobody bothered to buy it when it was on clearance.

Pffft, see, video games are better than school. It might be due to kids short attention spans these days, but that won't stop them from playing online games. It's actually sad that students who do this are the reason why most teachers won't allow any electronics in class.

Adulting sucks. How would you feel if there was a bar for not just drinking, but for video games too? Sign me up! I'm so down for something like that. That would be a great way to kick off the weekend after a long week of work. Grab a beer, sit in a booth and whip out Mario Kart.

Yup, that's right. You don't need to get off your butt to play video games on the couch. Just take the box, lie back, and watch it unfold right in front of you. To me, this guy looked fed up with doing homework so he's having a "study break" to blow off some steam.
