Okay, so video games obviously do not provide aid in perceiving the real world if your perception of the real world is already skewed by a huge slap of stupid.
Take the case of NASCAR driver Carl Edwards. We understand that NASCAR entails going round and round... and round and round... quite rapidly in cars.

So, Carl tries this trick... we'll let him explain:
