I was driving in to work this morning with a queue of traffic sat in front of me, the sun was shining and glaring off the car roof's, all I needed was some 80's music and it would have been like being in GTA Vice City :D

So who's had moments like these?
 
Funny but was thinking this as I was driving the other day the trees and scenery passing by reminded me a bit of a video of F1 2010, its scary how realistic racing game scenery is becoming that when you see trees and stuff pass by you think of a racing game..

I was also watching the Spa F1 at the weekend, and thought of GP4 with the 2007 mod, when the in car views were being shown I thought – I’ve raced around that corner, its scary…. The track on TV looks just like it is in Grand Prix 4, and it’ll maybe the same for F1 2010 when released..
 
If I ever throw a banana skin out the car window it reminds me of mario kart and a slight disappointment when the car behind doesnt spin round

(I dont throw litter out of my car BTW:p)

Haha. :D

When I shot those people and then reversed over them in a bus it felt a bit like... oh... never mind.
 
I was at work in my old job not long ago.

I went into the loo's at the end of the night as part of the nightly building check. When I went into the ladies toilet a hair clip caught my eye.

Now i'd only just started playing Fallout 3 and was at the point in the game where it was a fun kind of hard, where you check EVERY box you find in the hope that there are 2 or 3 bullets in there, so that you'll survive long enough to get out of the tunnel your currently in.

So when I saw this 'Bobby Pin' at half 12 at night after a long shift, I was genuinely excited, to the point where I actually bent over to pick it up. It wasn't until my fingers were mere centimetres away that I realised I wasn't in the Capital Wasteland. I was gutted lol
 
When driving at night, I've often thought "... that lighting looks good" or "... those graphics are lush", that kinda thing. Of course they're good, it's a real light/tree/car.
 
was driving home with by mate once and a covenant cruiser dropped out of slipspace above us and then proceeded over a giant hole in the ground..! had to be there! ;)
 
I have one or two, one that sticks out was when I was a research assistant and I was adding a sample into the Anti-Mass Spectrometer and accidentally caused a resonance cascade. Wouldn't believe the problems that caused me. Didn't exactly get fired though.

LOL
 
I've looked at wooden shipping crates before and thought "no way could I smash that with a one handed crowbar".

I will admit that I have yet to try this, I fear trying to explain myself may actually cause more problems than the actual act...
 
I remember once when I killed 12 people, that reminded me a bit of GTA.

But otherwise, I probably have but I can't remember them right at this time.
 
1960s music always makes me think of Bioshock.

I was once walking through a forest being a bit scared as it was pitch dark. Either way I remember thinking "Oh if I someone was to jump me, I could just blink away". Took me 10 seconds before shaking my head and laughing to myself about how I could possibly come up with that :o
