I maintain a 3.4 GPA (Not high, but not bad either). I fit in with people, I know how to talk, the only problem I've had is maybe staying up a little more late than I should've, which just meant I would be tired the next day.

It was an interesting video, but he even says they're more generalizations.
I also have no problems waiting for my computer, waiting in line, I'm patient.

I would say that video games (the good kind anyways) actually enhance and expand intelligence

And a majority of games have real life story mixed with fiction, so that wont teach you anything valid either. Or you risk thinking some fiction is reality. Tactics in games are usually bound to the limited factors in the game itself that you have to deal with, if you would take war tactics ( that work in game ) and use them in real life, you would probably get your ass kicked by people that have done it in real life.

And some other idiot kid that looks at it and concludes because of a female wearing a pink suit, that all males wearing pink must be more in touch with their feminin side and therefor more likely to be gay, pink is a girl color, dont wear pink.
