You Dont have feel stupid at all, you can learn alot from games. I have been a gamer all my life, and I get these ups and downs, I changed alot of things and made alot of effort and somehow it has been working out I guess. Do what you love to do, not what people tell you how to do. I still game alot, work as a full time job, freelance, go out on biking trips, go out with friends etc... The effort pays off in the end I guess.

Also, i can thank the Total War series for teaching me world history and geography more than our crap education system ever could.
Same here! I have become a history buff all because of the Total War series. I started reading books about Rome, Carthage, the crusades, Napoleon all the way up to world war 2.
