When did you get hit by "the tetris effect" AKA playing a video game so much that you get the urge to do moves/actions from the video game in real life?

When I got hooked on Morrowind in middle school it occurred to me to quicksave before a test at school.

What's yours?

When I caught myself planning exactly how I'd scale that building wall, AC style.

When I visited Italy for the first (and last) time a few years back, I kept thinking the same!

ah yes haha, rings a bell ! gothic churches especially have a ton of protruding, grabbable details

Yep, I do remember this with AC. I posted about the one that hit me harder, which was Crackdown.

If I spent a lot of time training I could theoretically move similarly to the characters in AC. No matter how much training I do I’ll never be able to leap multiple stories in one jump up.
