Quite a few things:
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 got me to admire Michael Jackson's music.
Assassin's Creed 2 got me interested in learning Italian.
Bioshock got me interested in human rights and politics concerning big businesses.
The Pokemon series has always helped increase my vocabulary: Synthesis, Covet, Facade, Scald, etc.
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2 got me to research Japanese folklore and legends.

Twisted Metal = Rob ZombieAylaine said:Mostly music. Skold, Nine Inch Nails, Rob Zombie, Cypress Hill, Pitchshifter, among others were made known to me through various video games.
I love how you can actually play him in the Dragula in TM4.
Man... I miss those gamesAylaine said:Haha same, I felt that was a really cool homage. He was a decent character too, funnily enough. That Special let you snare people for nasty S-Combos. Calypso's Nuke attack being a good example.Fappy said:Twisted Metal = Rob ZombieAylaine said:Mostly music.

As a kid I used to cheat and use Minion all of the time XD
It's funny when you think about it, but pretty much all the bands I like I have found through video games. (Well, a lot of them anyway)
By playing Max Payne 2 I discovered Poets of the Fall.
Playing Tales of the Abyss opened my eyes to Bump of Chicken.
Smackdown vs. Raw got me into Breaking Benjamin.
And the first Kamelot song I heard was from a DMC3 Crazy Combo video.
Not to mention all the fantastic original soundtracks from many different games I enjoy.

It's boobs isn't it? Of course it's boobs.SckizoBoy said:
Great big stonking historically accurate boobs.
Or maybe just the history part.
I started reading Dante's inferno because of Dante's inferno. Good book
I started reading the Tale of Ganji because of one of the questions in Persona 3. Another good book and is the most classic book around, age wise anyway. Thing was written about 1000 years ago.
I had never heard of Lisa Miskovsky if I hadn't played Mirror's Edge.

I think I am remembering TM2 Minion who wasn't normally playable. His special destroyed everything!Aylaine said:Me too. Games aren't that kind of fun anymore for me. Even the new Twisted Metal that recently came out wasn't magical in anyway really. :|Fappy said:Man... I miss those gamesAylaine said:Haha same, I felt that was a really cool homage.

Psh, Minion was balanced compared to Sweet Tooth. He was beyond imbalanced. xD
I haven't played the newest one, but I haven't really enjoyed any of them post-TW4.
Well, there's tonnes of music that I won't bother listing.
I read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand because of Bioshock
I read Romance of the Three Kingdoms because of Dynasty Warriors. The book then got me to buy Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI(the game, not the 11th book, there isn't an 11th book.)
I learned an awful lot about Various mythologies from various games like Age of Mythology and God of War (which no doubt means half of it is incorrect but whatever.)

I read "And then there were none" because of the theme song "U.N. Owen was her?", which is the theme of Flandre Scarlet in Touhou, a game I still haven't played.
How I got from that song to the book, is a bit harder to explain. The best way to explain it will be that I found out that the theme song and an attack that Flandre does, probably is inspired from that book. Then I read a plot description (kinda like those on the back of the book), and I figured that the book sounded awesome. And it was!

Well the Tex Murphy series is arguably what got me interested in becoming a detective. For the longest time I wanted to be a Private Investigator but as I grew older and learned that P.I.'s mostly dealt with infidelity I decided police work would be more interesting. Just a few more years of clean living before I join an academy and get that started.
It was because of Okami that I got interested in ink wash painting even though I'm rubbish at it.
It could also be argued that MechWarrior 2's soundtrack really helped get me into heavy metal music, although I was already listening to hard rock and grunge on the radio at the time. Oh the '90's, I don't miss you at all.

Yeah, but at the end, where you wonder what becomes of their plan to hide from the stupid people, Bioshock answers that with Rapture. It's something I recently connected while playing the game again.PsychicTaco115 said:
Need for Speed got me into cars and customization.
Jet's n Guns introduced me to Machine Supremacy - great band.

Transport Tycoon Deluxe and Oekolopoli sparked my interest for economics at a veeery young age. But now im studying that stuff

My dear Blunder... if I wanted to look at 'historically accurate boobs'... I'd just look at boobs. The good thing they haven't changed in a couple thousand years... -_-Blunderboy said:
Besides, I hope to hell I was into boobs well before Assassin's Creed came out![footnote]Yes, I bloody well was! *checks porn collection* ... wow, she's old![/footnote] ¬_¬
