[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 1080946, member: 259"] Maybe it's just the people I hang out with, but most everyone I know has some creative outlet or another. My sister is like a non-insider-trading Martha Stewart, doing every craft from papermaking to quilting ot stained glass. My brother's girlfriend is a potter extraordinaire. My brother-in-law is a woodworker. My boss is in a club where they all create book sculptures or something. My wife knits, cooks amazing meals, and researches interesting historical questions. My wife's best friend is a professional actor. Her matron of honor is a theater tech person. And lots and lots of my friends play musical instruments, in bands or otherwise. I [b]would[/b] say that gamers are often more oriented toward words and numbers than other groups: gaming is a verbal medium, and it attracts folks who like to mess around with words. Some of the gamers I know are good with numbers; others are not. But I'm not sure that gamers are more creative than the population as a whole; we just channel our creativity into specific fields.
