That's hilarious because I've done the same exact thing before except it was the watch menu from the Goldeneye Nintendo64 James Bond game. It worked for several years as a young lad.
Dude i kept having fucmin dreams where i kept getting shot and my red health and blue armour would appear in my vision, and go down. Then I'd try to look at my watch to quit to menu, but it would be blown up just sitting there on my wrist blackened and falling apart so I had ti ride it out and die.
It would be me on the ground and then the grenade landing in front if my face and then going BANG that woke me up and got me out of there
I've been waiting since I was like 12 to tell that story to someone who would get it, and when I read your comment, I thought "Finally today's the day!"
No way! It's always great to meet another Matt. Hey Matt!
Funny stuff. I would use it as a sort of dream test as well. If I could open the menu then I knew it was a dream. If it was an OK dream I'd just go back to it. Hasn't happened in a long time though
