In my case this was actually off-line games I played when my only Internet connection was a 56k modem. Mostly StarCraft and Fallout, and some old Star Trek games, and I learned English because I really wanted to understand the story. I still remember myself sitting with a dictionary and translating the words used in descriptions.
