That's not necessarily if you've been playing videogames too much. I am left handed too, and the reason I can do a lot of things with both hands is because left handed people have to adapt to a world designed for right handed people. It's not that I complain, it makes sense to make stuff for the majority of people, and I got used to it as a child, so no big deal. Things like writing, painting (fine motorics) I all do left handed. But things like cutting with scisors, eating with cutlery, shaking hands and using the mouse I all do right handed because I pretty much got to XD
On topic though:

Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

When you try and get everyone to like you and give you gifts by playing a Lute in the middle of town.

You know you play to many video games when you roadie run for cover to hide from your boss and when he finds you yell "die ground walker" in a hissing, wispering voice.
Or after you finish a cigarette, say "smoke out" in the same voice

@ FM Ninja, its because when you talk to guards, they sometimes say " I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee."
