Done all from memory no googling. My friends think I'm weird for remembering a snippet of a wall texture for a game i played 10 years ago. Or even worse, remembering a wall texture for a game i haven't even played.
Anyone else played guess the game?

Pretty much yeah. Having gaming as your primary hobby for your whole life helps too. And being interested in game design and other nerd aspects of it helps. You can often get these purely by deduction even if you're not familiar with the specific game at all. Texture quality says it's from this era, maybe this specific console. Color palette looks like this series, the person responsible for the art direction on that series also worked on xyz, etc etc.
If you're the kind of nerd I am, you generally know of almost all popular games ever made even if you haven't played many of them.
Yeah I do deduction a lot. Like identify the genre, engine, era, console usually narrows it down quite a lot
that is fucking impressive
I don't generally like watching other people play games, but I would love to watch someone with that kind of obscure knowledge play something like this. Competency is so cool, especially when it's with something absolutely mind-boggling, like this.
You should check out Northernlion's videos labeled "Miscellaneous" for the parts where he does the movie one. Because he's basically like this with movies, I've seen him nail some old shitty movies no one's ever heard of based on the day it hit theaters, how much money it made, and what studio was behind it.
He's also pretty good at the gaming ones for obvious reasons but movies and TV are where he really shines
