It says

"When I was little, during car rides (especially long road trips), I used to stare out the window and imagine there was some person running alongside the car, and that every passing detail were somehow an obstacle.

There were variations at times, of course. Sometimes he'd be on a skateboard, jumping over driveways, and sometimes he'd be like a ninja hopping on the roofs of cars and swinging from street lights.

I imagine this is due to my having been raised on video games.

Has anybody else ever done this as a kid?"

Did any of you have this?

I did, I can't believe other people did this too lol.

This thread's gonna get closed due to the presence of /b/

Anyhow, I used to, and sometimes do that. Anything when I'm out of laptop/phone power.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Mine was either a BMX or a guy running.

Went through a phase of a massive metal block with spikes on wheels going along side car, smashing into everything coming the other way. That was FUN!

I have investigated this 4chan, and this /b/ phenomenon, and it scares me. It is the randomness of the internet at it's most condensed and virulent form.

On another note, I never played that particular game, but I used to click my teeth together between electricity poles, I have no idea why.

This thread has nothing to do with 4chan. Don't talk about it please or it will end up closed.

DUDE, I thought that was just me... A person running or a motorcycle... All the time. And through residential areas he would have to jump all driveways, cars, side-streets, etc and only drive in grass... LOL

I am totally, honestly shocked that anyone else ever did that...

No, you are wrong. 4chan is crap.

Sounds like a cool thing to do though.

I agree.

And yes, I do want to try this now and see if it works, what objects make for the most challenging obstacles?
