I knew it! :D
To this day I still tell my folks, you see this smart boy you raised? It's all cause of all those videogames! Oh, my finger dexterity and extreme driving reflexes? Also videogames. :dance:

All jokes aside, I think it's been proven before that avid gamers would have better reflexes, react faster in certain situations, fast fingers, etc. And for a long time I assumed that all the puzzle solving, memory training and such would help our brains develop stronger :).

Definitely agree! :D Also, not sure whether that Conker reference was intentional or not... :n64:

The only answer I care about is why they chose Super Mario 64 in 2013.. :D

Could it be the key behind evolving the human race? Better start playing again, I shall become a god!

Science proves this is the best Mario game.
