Well I'd have to say it's helped me in RL in many ways. One when I'm at Sears and the ovens say Range instead of oven, I know what they're talking about. The armours are below mith are pretty accurate, which has helped me out. I got a question right back 2 years ago, about what makes Bronze, I knew the info., but it probably wouldn't come right off the top of my head. Now it's like ingrained into my memory. It has taught me a lot about the economy, as far as supply and demand is concerned(Pre-G.E) Taught me the different type of trees as far as what's a better type of wood. Usually I just guess in RL based off rs and I usually get it right =) One bad thing though is that it gets me saying things like omg in RL and then saying Lol about it...(I remember the day it happened.)
