=== 4X ===
* ''[[Galactic Civilizations]] II'': referenced in one notable [[Let's Play]] that crossed this over with [[Earthshattering Kaboom]] and [[The All Solving Hammer]].
{{quote| It's my answer to everything. How did I try to mend relations with the Terrans? I destroyed a sun. How did I vanquish the Dread Lords? I destroyed their sun. How did I tackle the volatile Drengin? Destroyed all their suns. Drath relations dodgy? Gear up to destroy some suns.<br />

=== Turn Based Tactics ===
* From the [http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/xcomufodefense/review.html review] for ''[[X-COM]]: UFO Defense'' on Gamespot:

=== Webcomics ===
* From [[Scott McCloud]]'s ''[http://scottmccloud.com/1-webcomics/chess/chess.html My Obsession With Chess]'':

* ''[[Awkward Zombie]]'': Anyone had [http://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic1-101810.php this] happen in real life?
* ''[[Homestuck]]'': The official forums have threads full of people talking about what the webcomic has made them do, including more than a few mentions of attempting to captchalogue items and jumping at the sound of [[Hell Is That Noise|bicycle horn honks.]]
Line 214:
** When Lisa became a crossword puzzle addict, she started to see crosswords in everything.
** Apu sometimes answers with his trademark quote outside of work.
{{quote| ''Thank you come again.''}}
** In one episode, Homer attempts to jam Lennie's head into a jigsaw puzzle while trying to complete it, hallucinating he fits the spaces perfectly. Lennie ends up with several jigsaw pieces in his eye, [[Butt Monkey|as is usual for him.]]
* Watch enough ''[[Transformers]]'' and you could find yourself visualizing what every vehicle or household appliance would look like if it spontaneously turned into a robot.
