When games intersect with real life

Giggled like a school girl when I found Sunfall in Horizon Zero Dawn located in Bryce Canyon, a most marvelous place I visited myself a year prior. Also loved walking through Zion NP in the Fallout New Vegas DLC for the same reason.

It's cool when games mix reality with fantasy.

I remembered thinking whimsically of Mafia games while I was driving along the road years ago; mowing down pedestrians while being chased by mobs, the car tough to control at high speed. Of course I didn't do any such thing in RL but it was weird that thought came up.  I've no idea what brought it up. 

I can relate. Just the other day, I collected some rocks on my way to work and couldn't understand when my boss didn't give me 100 XP.

1. When I played Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, which both play in Tokyo, for the first time, I went "I walked down this street!  " when the game sent me to the big Shibuya Crossing


2. Back in what, 2006? I used to play FF12 a lot. I played it so much, once I left the apartment to go grocery shopping and on the way to the store I wondered if I saved. Came back and no, I hadn't locked the door.    Locking the door =/= saving the game.

3. I quote the Elementalist from DAI MP a lot. "I'm not whining, that really hurt!"

The awkward moments come when you can tell the difference between cover and concealment on a moment's notice just walking down the street. And can actively use it to youradvantage.

No, not really. Might just be me tho.

Well Madden's 19 Longshot mode (as cheesy as you'd might expect) Hurricane Harvey was used.

Years ago I was playing Skyrim...and I went out walking, it was a grey and rainy day.
I stopped, looked at the sky, and felt a strange urge to scream Lok Vah Koor.
It's the clear sky shout in the game.
Of course I did not do it, but I remember walking deep in thoughts, thinking how cool it would be to Fus roh Dah annoying people and such.

Playing FO4 got me through some type of small revelation.
I like a singer who's from Boston, so read some interview where she talks about the town etc...I knew it was on the east coast and not too far from NY but I never realised it was this close to the ocean. or that boston had small almost european looking streets.
