Real life things you have done because of video games

Two that spring to mind are playing Liar's Dice in real life after playing it a ton in Red Dead Redemption and traveling to Morocco partially because of the Hitman level. I was trying to decide on somewhere to travel to and Hitman 2016's Marrakesh level reminded me of a desire to travel to North Africa.
A friend learned how to play an ocarina because of Zelda, i assume this was pretty common.
What about yall?

I pulled out of a slip and spin on an unpaved road driving in Canada purely on instinct because I'd been playing so much Colin McRae 2 on my force feedback wheel. Turns out that force feedback was pretty accurate! Only afterwards did I have to immediately pull over once I realised what had almost happened & it hit me.
Of course I may have been going a bit faster because of playing racing games so much as well. But it turned out well, luckily.
