| | | Whether it's wrestling in the backyard, saving up for your first skateboard, drifting your car around corners, climbing through the second floor window of an abandoned sanitorium, sailing a garbage raft across the river, or rappelling down an abandoned mine shaft I think in general... most people don't like to admit that video games made them do it. I vividly remember what it was like playing Bethesda's open world RPGs for the first time in middle school. Like many I would barely pay attention to the primary storyline. For me it was all about unlocking map markers, exploring every square foot of the world, having to know what is behind every door, every tunnel, cave, or building. I remember a buddy showing me Oblivion for the first time, pointing to a mountain and saying "you can go there". Maybe a bit goofy but that stuck with me. It has been nearly a decade since I've sat down and played through a video game but there is no doubt in my mind where my obsession with exploration came from. My Google Maps account, absolutely flooded with pins, looks an awful lot like my map of New Vegas did 10+ years ago. The insatiable need to hop fences and peek around every corner bit me for the first time in City 17, Cyrodiil, and the Capital Wasteland, it hasn't left me since. Are there any specific movies or video games from your childhood that you believe drew you toward urban exploration?
