gaming Any games that influence you to do things?

You always hear the cynical adult say, "Video games rots your brain."

 

But I never had much of an ear for Django Reinhardt until Bioshock. I had never wanted to take up basic coding until Portal. I had never wanted to learn German until TF2 (dat Medic  :wub:  )

 

So tell me: Are there any video games that spiked your interest in something new, and have caused you to try new things IRL? What were they, and to what extent were you affected?

All the games I grew up playing, being 8-bit NES games, got me interested in game design. I even came up with an over-ambitious project to create an 8-bit Super Smash Bros.

Kingdom Hearts got me interested into Japanese Culture, and anime soon after, which beforehand I really disdained (no idea why). Now anime is my regular sketching practice :P

And an odd mix of the Assassin's Creed series, Chivalry, and Counter Strike has made me want to start working out and learn combat skills/free-running, assuming my body can stand it (My own laziness and an injured back prevents that much though XD )

Europe Universalis IV and other Paradox games made looking at maps much more entertaining than ever before. In addition being much interested in pre-20th century history.

I think it can be said that playing Pokemon recently again has kinda re-sparked me to want to ride my bicycle again... Though the actual getting out and being in the open where people can see me is still pretty hard for me to handle. :/
