I'm currently picking my way through highschool. In my spare time, while not going out with friends, or doing something else, I play video games. People say that I'm a good writer, that I am good at drawing, or that I know alot about science and history for my age. Strangely, I learnt alot of things from them; both directly - IE a game based on real events, or indirectly; games that made me think about a topic, and I later learnt more about it due to that.
For example, I was in grade two. By that time, I had learnt how to write graphs, multiply and divide, I knew square roots, and 3 3 dimensional graphs (xyz) all by myself, from video games that had nothing to do with those, that most people would have learnt in grade 5. Aurora has been a diamond in the rough; this is the very first game that I found that I could write about. It gives me challenging decisions to make, and exercises real-world skills.
Quite a few of the things that happen in Aurora surprise me at first, but then I think about it, and figure out some kind of logical reasoning behind it.
(Well, besides in one of my campaigns where Russia somehow toppled every nation in 1 and a half years, even though they were a much weaker version of themselves than in real history.)
