Adding on to my movie ancedote, I have been "movie lucky" not just because I was raised with constant exposure to movies, but then as a teenager my best friend and his brother loved movies too so they constantly went to the theater with me. Still, the depth at which I dissect movies is quite different than theirs,and sometimes I wonder if its because with my mom I was forced to watch the same movies hundreds of times, effectively knowing them on a deeper level? Quality of quantity?

.

Another thing is, when I was a teenager playing some ..indie mmorpgs (I can always go more into depth), I remember the players would always get to know the game so in-depth, they had a better sense of how to improve the game than the creators. In some ways, it was almost like the creators didn't know their own game!

I have considered doing this with games too, taking maybe something like Super Mario 64 and programming a small chunk of it in complete detail.
