I take advantage of it a lot in my games; if I have half an excuse, I'll distract people with a character or two so I can flash-plan for their latest idea. Though I think my greatest strength is minute analysis; I pride myself on the ability to take a subject or a technique and not just realize that it works or doesn't, but figure out why so that I can help other people replicate or avoid the same situation. I play to it mostly by using it as article-fodder. Complex characterization and dialogue, then remembering who all these people are and how to tell them apart.
