Reveilled Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Okay, bear with me, beause I'm not sure how well I'll be able to describe the topic of this thread. What things remind you of other things that to anyone else would seem completely unrelated, and why are they related to you? For instance, the taste of Orange Milk Chocolate reminds me of the Legend of Zelda on the N64. At face value, they seem to have nothing to do with one another, but back when the game was released, I got it for christmas along with several boxes of chocolate orange pieces, and so I spent almost the entire game eating chocolate orange, and as a result, the taste of chocolate reminds me of the Legend of Zelda whenever I eat it.

Cantousent Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Yes, I used to listen to Bach (pixies can give you all the specifics of every song if you'd like) while I played Ultima. Now, if I hear that music, I'm taken back to the time. My first girlfriend was a French foreign exchange student. She wore a certain perfume. Now, if I smell anything that even remotely resembles it, I'm taken back to my time with her. It's funny how the mind plays tricks on us.

Walsingham Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Firestoker ale reminds me of Arcanum. Bad air-conditioning reminds me of NWN. "It wasn't lies.

Darth Launch Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Psychological research has found that the areas of the brain that process smells is in fact linked to the hippocampus, so a smell is more likely to trigger an episodic memory than any of the other senses DL [color=gray][i]OO-TINI![/i][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Funnily enough, when I read that, I found I associate chocolate orange with Legends of Zelda, too. The bizzare bit is, I don't remember ever playing Zelda on the N64 (but I could very well have on a friends). Jungian synchronicity, perhaps?

Musopticon? Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Everytime I hear Brtiney Spears, I think of Rollercoaster Tycoon. My moms used to listen to radio while I was next room playing the demo back in 99. Mint crockant chocolate reminds me of Warhammer novels. Winegums give me vivid memories of Ursula LeGuin's books. Everytime I bite an apple I...well, nevermind. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai.

Shryke Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 the smell of bourbon reminds me of owls :ph34r: the reason being, after getting completely drunk on bourbon, a friend and i went for a walk, and we came across a harry potter poster thingy outside the movie theater that had a pricelist of all sorts of different owls. the one i distinctly remember is a snowy owl, costing 18 galleons when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

Pope Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 recently I opened a pot of hairgel I hadn't used in years, and the scent of it immediately took me back to highschool the combined taste of coffee and cigarettes reminds me of the breaks I took during my exams the scent of tequila reminds me of lots and lots of vomit the scent of vomit reminds me of lots and lots of tequila the (rare) sight of 3 people sitting on 1 scooter reminds me of a broken kneecap every Asian girl I see reminds me of the biggest crush I ever had (and ever will have) and garlic butter reminds me of sex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archmonarch Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Im in my school library right now and a guy is drilling holes in tables, presumably to hold computer cables. The sound is annoying, but the burning smell reminds me of the dentist's office.

metadigital Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I am transported back to my youth when I smell distilate mixed with sea water; I fondly remember the times spent with family on our boat in the Broadwater; and zipping about in an aluminium dinghy with a six horsepower Johnson outboard motor ...

Reveilled Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 The song For Tomorrow, by Blur, reminds me of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, as I had the song playing on repeat 1 while I read most of the second book.

mkreku Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Every spring, when there's lots of snow on the ground, the sun is still barely managing to climb over the horizon, and there's that unmistakable spring feeling in the air (when the snow is actually starting to decrease instead of increase) I'm almost transported back to my youth (1988!) and an especially happy period of my life. Every day during that period I longed to get home from school to play Pool of Radiance with my best friend. The clear, cold air, the weak sun (painting the sky yellow-reddish) and the sparkling, melting snow brings back all that. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

mr insomniac Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Eric Clapton's Pilgrim album reminds me of Quake II, because I listened to it constantly while playing the game. Sometimes I still go back and play it, and I no longer have the Pilgrim CD. Any other music I play seems weird. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.
