I think Black & White 1 actually did something where they took the weather in your area and made the in-game weather follow it if you logged on the Internet at the time.

It just started raining here like 1 minute ago, and at about exactly the same time when I heard raindrops falling on the glass, DF said "It has started raining." Lol.

Dude, talk about coincidences.... I was playing DF last night and I got hit by a goblin siege... just as a goblin siege showed up on my front lawn!

Because it's totally random, so bound to happen.  To somebody.

Right - It's called confirmation bias - you don't notice (or don't think anything of) all the times that it starts raining in the game when it's sunny in reality, or vice versa.

I had a nice coincidence with real life rain and Metal Gear Solid 3. It began raining with the beginning of the fight with The Sorrow, and ended with the battle. The weird thing was, it was a fairly clear day otherwise.

I still think the weather can be somewhat influenced by thoughts... maybe I should finally see a doctor about this.

I remember when I was young, there was a really bad month. Floodings and all. And all the kids going to my school were like "damn this weather. holidays start tomorrow, and it's raining". The day the holidays started it was sunny, best weather in a long time, it lasted exactly one day before the heavy rain started again.

Next thing: every year we have a party down at the danube, with hundreds of thousands of visitors. Last year this was delayed for 3 months, until autumn, because of the european soccer championship. So that party was in the middle of september, and at that point we usually have 15 °C here. And that's what it looked like. Cold autumn weather. Coincidentially, the days during the party were among the hottest of the year. I think one of them even was the hottest.

And last but not least, the wonderful story about woodstock  Half a million people chanting "we want no rain", and whoever was there, saw the pictures or watched the video knows what happened then...

Wow, strange thing, just as I dug into a magma pipe (Accidently, didn't see "WARM STONE LOCATED") magma burst through my window, ruining my house.
