Have you ever been playing a game which you really like, watched a film and then play a game as similar to the film as you can?

E.g. I play War of the worlds for the PC alot. I watched a movie or two with guns and people getting killed. Next minuite, im playing shoot em ups like Duke 3d or Goldeneye.

This happened ages ago. I was playing Perfect dark, I saw a film where all these ancient armies are battling it out for survival against each other, and next I'm playing Age of Empires for the PC.

It happens alot. When I see a war film, I end up wanting to play Strategy games like Command and Conquer, and if I watch part of a football match, I want to play a Football game.

Does this ever happen to anyone else?

Yeah, films do make you want to reinact what a certain character did.

Just now, I was walking down the road in the darkness on my way back from the cinema after seeing Final Fantasy and I started running just like the main guy did when there was one of those things behind him. Then, I jumped behind a car and rolled to the other side of the road where I found a machine gun just lying there (quite convenient actually). So, I picked it up and ran to my house where I fired 3 shots into the window. I then jumped over the garden wall and lept through the window.

I was quite surprised to find myself then loading up FF9 on my PSX.


NB: All of the above is a lie. I did no such thing. I don't even have a PSX to play FF9 on.

Thankyou, and have a pleasant flight.

Films can inspire you to reinact what the main character did.

Likewise, when I saw the original StarWars again, I really wished I owned Rogue Squadron.
