Maybe you have picked a few locks, picked a few herbs, or maybe even picked a few pockets. But more than likely, you have never experimented with alchemy, forged a really cool weapon, or crafted a helmet out of a mammoth tusk. In your day to to day life, rarely do you get the opportunity to try your hand at such trades. Video games are your outlet. Maybe you're one of those people who doesn't really know what they are passionate about. Maybe you just need a little help finding out what you're good at. Are you really good at picking locks in video games? Try your hand as a locksmith. Or, after investing hours of your life perfecting your alchemy skills in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you may want to consider a career in pharmacy. Making medicine, curing the masses, that could be your new thing. And in the end, you become a master compounder, and discover cures to all the worlds most detested diseases. All because of what? A video game. You can thank me later.

Brittany Gadsden has lots of hobbies. Like playing video games. And...reading about video games. And...writing about video games. She swears there's more, but she's too busy playing video games to really elaborate.
