with every game i finish i hate video games more and more
After playing through a (Good) game, are you the same person that started it?
Honestly the only game that made me feel that way was the The Talos Principle.
A video game can change you, but not in the same way that a book can. Where a book can open you up to new ideas and change your outlook, video games change you more in terms of brain elasticity. By that logic, I'd guess that people who play more good video games are able to adsorb more information when they read books.

But anyway, to answer the question: playing SEGA platformers as a kid made be an above-average driver as an adult because reflexes and hand-eye coordination. Also, playing Diablo 2 through high school got me a slightly better score on the SATs because one of the vocab questions had to do with scimitars.

No game ever fucked me as hard as fight club or the matrix.
I wish one would though. I want to have my preconceptions of the world torn asunder by the long, hard philosophical journey of the main characters and feel it release its warm resolution inside me, forever impregnating me with its revelations. I want to carry the seed of its thought and give birth to a synthesis of its philosophy and mine.
I think Katawa Shoujo made me a better person.
Oh yeah, most of the WWII and Cold War history I know was from vidya and it help me to pass tests and exams about it flawlessly
