>I suspect that the reason I'm so fond of old architecture and weird monsters is the fact I was first exposed to shareware Quake as early as 3 or 4 years of age, and would replay it often. Now, I see places like the lamp-lit castle hallways in Amnesia: The Dark Descent and think "huh, that's kinda cozy".
That's an interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing it. I was 12-16 when I first played Quake myself, and back then I didn't even like it near as much as I do. However I did grow up with games like House of the Dead with their axe wielding, chainsaw arm zombies, so it always pleased me to see enemies like the ogres in Quake. Still not sure why I enjoy the aesthetic as a whole so much.
