For example, I remember one night when I was sleeping in a tent around the time I first got into Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and I was finding it harder to fall asleep than I thought I would; for whatever reason the image of "Kokiri Forest at night" from the game popped into my head... and the first time I saw that in the game was when first going back to Kokiri Forest to try to avoid confronting the "stalchild" things in Hyrule Field. Maybe it's the combination of "at night + unexpected difficulty + woods" that triggered the association? So yeah, just one example for now, what about other people here?

Just jumping up and over everything that came his way. It's been years since I've last thought of that. Sega 02: "SONIC TEAM. The Sonic Team development studio was established to execute the wishes of Sega." Sega 03: "It was intended to enact the business strategy we had created." Sega 05: "However, it appears to have become dominated by a single, zealous individual." Sega 04: "Yes it has. We must take it back into our own dominion." Sega 01: "It is time. We must restore SONIC TEAM and the Sonic series to their proper role." "Iizuka, you will take responsibility for betraying Sega."

It was Link sometimes too. He chopped down all the powerlines as he ran along. ^_^ We had an imaginary blackout for weeks.

But it was always Sonic for me too. Running track and field for awhile now...i'd always imagine how much faster Sonic could run events. Also...Virtual On was pretty big. Whenever i'd wach Gundam Wing or see something with a mech on TV or something, i'd say to myself..."Cypher could take 'em." :P "If challenge had a taste...you'd be quite delicious."

Whenever I'd see loop-de-loops, I'd often think of Sonic dashing across them and sometimes still do. Also, my grandfather (who has a moustache) used to remind me of Dr Eggman since Dr Eggman has a moustache (and he still sometimes reminds me of Dr Eggman for that same reason).

Like, I used to only buy specific games and their sequels...i'd never try new franchises or anything, you know. "If challenge had a taste...you'd be quite delicious."

I suppose it might be a bit more practical to try a variety of series.

Yea man...practicalites and video games...why even bring the two together. :P But it's really refreshing to try out new series. No More Heroes and Blazblue are some of my recent departures. And they're wonderful. "If challenge had a taste...you'd be quite delicious."

I remember coming across this article in a Time magazine years ago... ... come to think of it, it might be worth its own thread. o.o
