Are there any video games that you'd consider life-changing?

Pokemon, despite being a Japanese game, helped me understand English better since attacks such as Swagger and Endeavor exist.

I asked my mom what every word I didn't know was. One of them was "affair", said by a Rocket Grunt. I asked her and she told me the cheating definition, when it reality it was the business definition. I was confused until I looked in a dictionary.
