After playing Crack Down I wanted to leap from skyscraper to skyscraper.

I want to throw red turtle shells at those who cut me off on the road.

After playing Crack Down I wanted to leap from skyscraper to skyscraper.

Me too. I caught myself looking at buildings and thinking "I could probably jump up there, and then there, and then onto the roof, then I could hop to the next building..."

I thought that way after playing Prince of Persia: SoT.

"I'll bet I could run up that wall, grab that ledge, shimmy over to that window sill, and I'll bet I'd find a secret room..."

I'm awesome at Burnout, since I go super agressive and slam cars into walls and push them off roads ... but my driving record sucks the shit.

I may believe this study.

The first time I was in England a friend got in an accident and my head broke the windshield.

This reminds me of an experiment i saw in a game mag where they were seeing how drinking affected driving in games. It was pretty funny.

I've done that same study at home with COD3/Battlefield 2 on Xbox Live. The targets seem to be a little harder to hit, after 7 or 8 beers.
