For example, I am terrible at Super Meat Boy, but just playing it has really improved how I play platformers and games that need faster imputs overall.

WoW increased my typing speed and accuracy as without voip, its essential to communicate effectively.

    Everquest did this to me.

    I mained a bard, and back then you had to stop a song and start a new one every so often...

    Mathematically it translates to a button press ever 1.5 seconds, ignoring movement, other combat abilities, etc.

    I also refused to compromise on spelling and grammar at the time.

    I got real good at typing accurately and quickly.

    I have lost a lot of that speed, but at comfortable pace I'm probably 80-90 words a minute, and the last time it was measured was a keyboarding class requisite. 121 GWAM for an eighth grader isn't too shabby. As long as I fixed the printer I got to play games in that class.
