We are all accustomed to clearly distinguishing between real and virtual worlds. The border between them seems so natural and completely unbreakable … but not for everyone. Fans are constantly trying to bring their favorite video games from their monitor screens to reality. We will talk about the most outstanding examples of such creativity in this article.

Dunmer travel business
Summer is the time for vacation (not that specific, of course). Travel agencies during this period are ready to offer a variety of tours for every taste and budget, but I would recommend that you take a closer look at the city of Avsallar, which is located in the Turkish province of Antalya. I have no idea about its climate, history or beaches, but I know for sure – this is one of the few places outside Nirn where you can praise Azura, the Daedra princess from The Elder Scrolls.
The five-star Azura Deluxe Resort & Spa boasts various advantages, but gamers are primarily interested in the statues that adorn the central building. They are four stories high and look suspiciously like the sculpture that adorns Azura’s shrine in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. For reference: the game was released in 2011, and the hotel opened in 2015.
Whether the hotel was built by TES fans or is it just an incredible coincidence is hard to say. By words Bethesda Softworks VP Pete Hines, the studio doesn’t know anything about the hotel, but it’s “definitely TES Azura.” It should also be borne in mind that azura means azure in Turkish. In addition, Azura / Hazura is mentioned in the texts of the Abrahamic religions, and therefore this name is common in many countries.

$ 50K basement where no one can steal your sweet roll
A hotel with an Azura statue is good, but the vacation cannot be forever. Unfortunately, sooner or later you will have to return from the beautiful world of The Elder Scrolls to the harsh reality. Of course, only if you are not Tyler Kirkham – even at home, his native Skyrim is waiting for him.
Kirkham, a comic book artist who has worked with Marvel, DC, and Image, spent three years and $ 50,000 to transform the basement into the ultimate male den. If we turn a blind eye to electricity, running water, TV, console, microwave, pool table and a couple of other modern things, Kirkham has got a typical Nordic home. The walls of the basement are decorated with stone and wood, in case of a dragon attack, there are several sets of weapons and armor, as well as a supply of potions. Just in case, the basement is equipped with a secret passage behind a bookcase, kitchen and shower.

The greatest stolen car
Replicas of things from films and games are not uncommon. For example, I have Ellie’s bracelet from The Last of Us Part II and the T-800 skull from The Terminator. To stand out in this field and fully bring the video game into reality, you need to do something outstanding. For example, a hefty statue of Azura or … a replica of a fictional car.
For the release of Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar Games has set up a raffle for the Bravado Banshee car. It was made by the tuning studio West Coast Customs, known for the transfer “Wheelbarrow for pumping”. The masters took the Dodge Viper SRT-10 as the basis, which served as inspiration for the GTA designers when creating the Banshee.
Modding the car, according to various media reports, cost the publisher $ 180-200 thousand. The specialists significantly altered the body, replaced part of the interior, added new nameplates and other cosmetic elements. Despite this, so far none of the Banshee owners have been able to sell it for even half the price. At different times for a unique sports car it was possible to gain from $ 45 thousand to $ 80 thousand.

Taste the game
No matter how much the price of Banshee has dropped, this car still remains far from the cheapest. Fortunately, there are more budget options to bring a slice of the gaming world into your life. One of the tastiest, though not always healthy, ways is to cook your Sim’s favorite dish in real life.
Some recipes can be found directly in the virtual world. For example, Marvel’s Spider-Man collectibles include instructions on how to make Aunt May’s Chinese dumplings and Aunt May’s signature pancakes. On the other hand, sometimes such recipes raise questions – one sweet roll in Skyrim requires a pound of flour and a jug of milk.
To help gamers taste the games, publishers are releasing official cookbooks. Some of them have even been translated into Russian. With their help, you can learn how to cook familiar dishes like Nuka Cola or Deathclaw Steak from Fallout. Sometimes the authors are not even embarrassed by the fact that there was no food at all in the original games, Destiny is a vivid proof of this.

Minor hero of history
In video games, we almost always play the role of protagonists – the privileged, the gifted, and the best – and the whole essence of our existence consists of only one adventure. In reality, very few can boast of such a thing. And what about the rest? Are we just NPCs who are destined to remain the background of someone else’s more interesting life?
To this very conclusion came New Yorker Darian Rumfield. According to Rumfield, his life is completely scripted – every day he does the same actions in the same way. Even his friends noticed his “enpicity” – he constantly tells others about various interesting places in the area, but he himself does not happen to them: as if he just gives out quests to everyone around.
After realizing his role, Rumfield began to notice that passers-by began to ask him for directions more often. Now he calls them the main characters in search of a quest. Unfortunately, after reporters drew attention to Rumfield, his apartment was robbed. Although someone might say that he was “cheated”.

Freaks vs. Donkey Kong
If depression does not recede from the unenviable role of the NPC in any way, you need to take life by the horns and begin to radically change it. For example, you can (You can’t! The stunts were performed by professional stuntmen! Do not repeat them under any circumstances!) Recreate the classic game Donkey Kong in real life, as the authors of the Blastazoid show did.
The show was created by the authors and contributors CKY (Camp Kill Yourself) and Jackass. If you do not know what it is, then try to imagine the most disgusting, stupid and dangerous act; whatever comes to your mind, these shows most likely have done this before. This time one of the “eccentrics” tried to climb the five-story structure while the monkey threw barrels at him.
