Playing Tony Hawk drastically changed the way I looked at the world.
It made me look around and up for things that I did not have the skill to grind on in real life and suddenly I was noticing details of buildings and art and so on.
It's called the Tetris effect and it gave me really stupid ideas when Need For Speed: Underground came out and had this mechanic where you could fill up your boost by doing near misses with oncoming traffic. I just had my driving license not long before that.
Yeah... Playing Burnout 3 so much back in the day, you'd notice ramp trucks and stuff all the time
