    I think you're a teenager who hates reading textbooks because it's "cool" to not like reading textbooks, Erik.

    Textbooks do have lots of unnecessary fluff, and this is coming from someone who actually enjoys reading them from time to time. Doesn't make them any less worth your time, though. Also, anime, manga, novels, shows, and movies that are alternate reality timelines and such are far more interesting to me if I know more about the culture and history of the area its an alternate reality/timeline/etc of. There tends to be a lot of subtle nods to what actually happened in such tales.

    And those booklets and documentation that come with tax forms? An excellent decision to read those so you don't end up getting audited by the IRS or getting yourself charged with tax fraud :P

    Kura, I don't rely on anything. Especially not manga.

    Which is why I always look up what I'm reading.

    Don, I read textbooks. For fun. Not history though, that's a death trap. Psychology and pharmacy, cause I once got bad medicine and threw up bile.

    And Luck.

    Say hello to my true self. I hate staying on one subject.

    Cause I can't focus on one thing. Even writing this write now, I have a thousand other things to say.

    But you guys pissed me off, so I vented in that post. Anyway, sorry if I made no sense.

    Trying to say that anime and manga are equal to textbooks, and better because they draw out more of an audience.

    YES!

    Yeah, it does depend on what kind of games. Puzzle games, Shooters, and RTS are probably the best though. (Other than the violence, but who doesn't see that on tv anyway?)

    Yes. They do make you smarter.

    For example, Halo allows to understand one thing, and one thing only:

    Life lessons sometimes seem oddly specific when they come from video games, don't they? ;p

    Anybody who thinks that Axis Powers Hetalia is a viable substitute for a proper textbook on European history is a moron. At best, it's only a supplement, and even then it's still of dubious worth due to the Japanese tendency to whitewash and leave out significant details.
