Like Pripyat's Palace of Culture which has appeared in numerous video games and which I assumed was just being modeled as a generic ruined building in typical video game style without respect to the logic of architecture and physics, as is so common in games - and then I came across a photoset of the actual ruins, and had an eerie moment of deja vu because I recognized the site and layout immediately, and realized it matched reality exactly.<br /><br />It was very creepy having the undeniable feeling that I'd been there even though I knew I'd never actually physically done so.G.
