The First Time You Had Your Mind Blown...

[Xpwn3ntial]

As most of you know, Pokemon did. I felt a void inside when Diamond and Pearl series came out. It was like losing The Game one trillion times at once.

Most recently would have to be Assassin's Creed. The character of Altair makes it so interesting.

the scarecrow books by matthew reilly. if you love action i seriously recomend you getting these books.

Fight Club was rather fucking amazing.

The Dune series was the first series that blew my mind in the "this is so complex I can't understand it on the first read-through" sense.
Admittedly, I was like 13...

Yeah, Dune was just so massive when I too read it at the tender age of 13. All that stuff about Paul seeing possible futures and such just left me going, "What? Wait. What?" for a while. It makes a little more sense now, but Frank Herbert was bananas as far as I'm concerned (in a good way). Catch-22 left me boggling after the first read through. The way the narrative casually skips around through time to recount different episodes was confusing and the characters were completely insane. Upon further readings, the book now feels more like the ramblings of someone who was there and is recounting their memories.

No movie has ever really blown my mind, except maybe Cat Soup, but that one is just effed up beyond belief. The joint wizard, anyone?

Kindergarten - Lunch Time
I shat briques when I saw all the other children eating pears. When I was some unknown age (3-4), I saw my dad eating some pears and asked if I could have some. He told me that only adults could eat them. So, from then on, (til kindergarten) I really believed that pears fell into the same group as cigarettes and alcohol, only adults could use them. Oh my, did I flip out that say when they served them at lunchtime. I went home and said DAAAAD guess what I ate today! My dads quite the joker, and he had completely forgot he said that, he had unknowingly planted a seed in my mind, along with many others.

Other things my dad made me scared of:
automatic carwashes
tornado sirens (we lived in kansas)
cement trucks
bees (which I still am scared of to this day)

such a joker

First time someone got a headshot on me in CS, totally blew my mind...
But really, I can't remember a time where I had my mind blown, since I'm not much for losing myself into fiction the way you describe it.

 

[demotivational fail]

The first time my mind was blown, was when I realized that i could communicate through language to achieve my desires. I was all like "awesome"... I've been speaking ever since.

fight club is awesome


But a really trippy movie is "Eraserhead"

First time i ever played Call Of Duty 4, a mission called "All Ghillied Up" and a mission called "One Shot, One kill".. and the time i went paint balling, and the time i saw dawn of the dead.

 

[OneHP]

Unlikely the first but one of the most memorable: His Dark Materials, especially the third book, just so much vision centered around religious and spiritual imagery packed into that book.

 

[this_was_a_mistake]

Fight Club, and I only watched it last year.

If video games count, I would've gone with BioShock.

 

[Skeleon]

Yeah, that would probably've been LotR.
My father read it to us, my brother'n'me, when I was five years old. The barrow wight scene is still burned into my memory today. In a good way!

 

[HerrBobo]

I personally loved the books of Skilgannon the damned/lost
I can't remember what the ACTUAL series name is
but the books are awesome

I that the one about the swords of night and day? Its by Gemmel?

I do believe it is my friend

Yeah, a good read. Have you tried the Waylander ones? There better IMO.

 

[Cheesebob]

In Chronological order:

1) I watched Lord Of The Rings: The Extended editions, one after the other

2)I read Gotrek and Felix, the first Omnibus

3)First time I had ever seen any of my mates drunk

4)Finished Braid

5) First kiss.

My mind is blown too easily

that with gotrek and felix, i Ha-ave to agree, the first omnibus was awesome. im just too lazy to read the second atm. also, in birthday present, i had 4 new books in the series by Nathan long.

To be specific, Daemonslayer was the book which blew my mind

 

[Kariin]

Watching The Blue Man Group live, and being in the 2nd row. That's the first time I really got that feeling of, "This is so fucking amazing my head hurts."

 

[Bdub87]

14 when i got my fist blowjob. Lol, oh u mean a movie or book... I'm going to have to go with sopranos, that show just keeps getting deeper everytime i watch it.

 

[paragon1]

I don't remember the first book that blew my mind, but the most recent one would have to be War World Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks, and V for Vendetta for movie (first time would be Yoda pulling that X-wing out of the swamp).

 

[crono738]

When I was eight, and I watched the Original Trilogy of Star Wars for the first time ever.

As for books, probably when I finished the Lord of the Rings for the first time, when I was eleven.

pretty much this

 

[DreamKing]

When I first read American Gods and Sandman, the little threads that hold up reality started to tear and my mind was blown.

 

[Juzari]

Finishing the Death Note anime series, just so awesome
or when I saw The Phantom of The Opera in London
