You walk into someone's office and hear "Ain't that a kick to the head" by Dean Martin playing on their iPhone and all you can think of is Fall Out 3: New Vegas.

I thought "when you buy the latest and greatest GPU despite the stupid price hike" but then again, such a person probably bought that GPU before the price hike

When you're walking through the woods, thinking, "This looks like the scene from Witcher," paddling down a river or stream, thinking, "This looks like that scene from Far Cry," looking up at the sky and thinking, "That looks like the sky in FSX".......etc.....

Ritorna me, Cara mia ti amo. Solo tu, solo tu, solo tu, solo tu Mio cuore.
If it takes a video game to turn people on to Dean Martin's wonderful music, I'm all for it.
What kind of car is that? What does it matter? When I drive it, I'm Steve McQueen

When you look through the hood emblem on your car like crosshairs
I'm pretty sure I was doing that years before PC games were a thing

.... you play WoW till 4am, or years later when u no longer game but you invest in GAMR both because you think it will do well and to celebrate what you once did - a hardcore gamer always a harcore gamer

In 2014 I was deployed to Afghanistan, and even as an A-10 Crew Chief we had to always carry our M-16 when we weren't actually working on the flight line. I remember going to chow or something one night with about six other guys and we were walking through big gravel between tow giant tents...it was foggy...the portable lights were raised up and cutting through the fog...all I could think about was Call of Duty...lol. I've been playing a ton of Rocksmith 2014 Remastered on my Fender guitar, and every once in awhile while I'm laying in bed and have a song in my head that I play, my fretting hand (usually my pinky finger) will twitch like I'm grabbing a string.
