What if life was like a video game?

[Rei-San]

I'm great at video games, but I suck a every in real life. So what would life be like if it was like a video game.

[Sef]

I'd have a lot more lives.

[Getintothegame]

I could 'reset' when I need to redo something.

[Zelutos]

i would actually be cool http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

[CupOfCoffee]

I'd be trying to hold an intellectual conversation with a local hooker when a crazed maniac would drive by in a tank and kill us both with a flamethrower.

[Scrub]

I'd get kicked from the server for camping on my couch.

[opaopajr]

I'd have a dancing entourage following me as I cruised around the town going "up, down, left, right, chu, chu, chu!"

[astuarlen]

I wouldn't be able to change my clothes without coughing up 10k dollars. Nasty.

It's okay, i'd have more than enough to spare for you to have at least one complementary change of attire.

[Skuda]

we could use a device to alter our existance. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif scary, no?

[Nai_Calus]

I would have naturally blue hair, be able to use magic, and I would have a nifty-looking sword or staff or something. Also, I would have a Rati.

[InfinityXXX]

I could wear the same outfit forever.

I could barge into peoples houses and search and take their things w/o them caring.

There would be a lot of chests

A lot of things would not be saved.

Potions would replace Tylenol

[Blitzkommando]

I would be a research physicist who must save the world with a crowbar. And would have a little alien as a pet. Then again, I would have a bunch of people following me with guns yelling, "CPs!"

[Tomeeboy]

I'd reload my save from yesterday and play the winning lottery numbers...

[Kaio666]

some antlions would make fun pets too *imagines throwing bug bait at enemies* fun times lol

[Skuda]

ooo. there'd be dragons too!


http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif as if seagulls wern't bad enough...

[Kaio666]

being hit by a dragons would kill you lol

[Eihwaz]

I'd wander around a massive beautiful castle with a mysterious and beautiful princess, fighting creatures made of shadow, all without having to modify a PS2. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

I'd also fly. n.n

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Eihwaz on 2005-08-08 23:56 ]</font>

[anwserman]

I'd eventually get the beautiful stud in the end. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

*ending could be changed depending on sexual preferences*

Actually, I'd love just to go up to a garbage can, open it up and find money inside. Or kill an earthworm... gold appears. Destroy an ant colony, level up. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

The sweetest thing would be, however - everytime I'd so something, I'd score. Something.

[Skuda]

you got poisoned

[Feelmirath]

hey look... ANTIDOTE.

[Daikarin]

It would have 75+ years of replay value.

[Sayara]

Well shit, i'd need a players guide for this. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

If life was like a video game I could fail at making a sandwich.

And every time I punched something, I'd have to yell "MUSCLE!"

Space Invaders would easily take over the planet because no one could ever hit that last ship.

If I never found Handgun: Milla my life would consist of killing Tollaws.

[PrinceBrightstar]

Instead of taking written tests, we have to fight bosses.

I got this post idea from an episode of futurama. It would be cool if I was chosen to defend earth. I could also Imagine if life was a turn-based RPG.

[Tact]

If it was turn-based, it'd be way too boring. Everything in the world would have to take turns. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

That's Tingle Tingle, Koola-Limpa! for you, Tingle.

[Outrider]

I'd probably walk down the street to the local deli and buy myself a hamburger. Then I would go and pick up a Baseball Bat and run around swinging it in the woods with my buddies in the treehouse.

What? I played some Earthbound recently.

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

I'd run around town in my jeans and t-shirt battling school thugs who stole my girlfriend. Beating them up makes them fall down, disappear, and leave money! Buying sushi and rock albums for toughness all along the way! (River City Ransom)

I'd be out searching for my father's killer asking for sailors, playing "Darts, 100 yen, maybe I'll try it!" and failing QTE events by not hitting the flashing prompts in time and getting smacked around only to magically return to my bed after 11:30 PM, and I could stand there until morning instead of sleeping, and still wake up at 8:30 ish AM.

Parking lots? "Maybe I can practice here, YES, Let's get sweaty!" (Shenmue 1)

Oh and holy crap Illusion of Gaia was a great premise/storyline too. Normal everyday kid in town jumping off ledges, going to class, hanging out with his buddies in the secret cave by the docks playing cards. Twirling my flute to magnetically attract totem pole-shaped objects.

Getting kidnapped by the King's gaurds and running away with the Princess(!) and her pig hamlet(the same one you see here): http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_hamlet.gif , later on floating on a raft after a pirate ship sunk and getting close to her- making her agree to eat the fish I swatted to cook or just starve to death. Sharks come...turning into a Dark Knight/weird magical fire-being....etc. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

If life is like a video game? That'd just be scary. Let's see if I am to appear in the world of Shenmue 1 as Ryu:

- I get repeated messages from whoever I came upon

- I have a virtual cat, yay!

- minutes goes by in seconds

- where I can go is limited

- the world is the same every year (oh yeah, a virtual world yay!)

- I won't age

- I can drink as much soda as I want without getting stuffed and I won't be physically changed

- I don't have to save father and play the arcade!

- I can let myself get hit from beer bottles and still (always, always) be okay from a real nice brother (who possibility spied on me?!), no brain damage

- I can run on without getting exhausted

- don't have to go back home on time, I'll be magically there if I am too late, despite the scolding that I'll get but she'll be automatically fine

- I won't need the bathroom

- I don't have to eat or drink

- until I save father and whatever, I'll be bye bye http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

- 1986!! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Jehosaphaty]

the answer to this question lies simply with the sims: get jiggy all you want, sit around, build the ultimate house, go to work every other day and never get fired, and oh, have kids that never stop screaming.

[Outrider]

Dude, Hayabusa... now I really want to go play through Illusion of Gaia again.

What a great game.

So many great games on the SNES...

I'm kind of disappointed that the SNES game that goes with Tales of Symphonia isn't included here but the Japanese version of the PS2. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Yeah, Illusion of Gaia is a fine, fine game. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_yes.gif

I was lucky enough to find a used copy later on after my original(with free t-shirt!) was stolen and I was tracking down SNES games at those damn Gamestop stores.

Life would be boring once I hit 100%. Then I would have to wait for the Afterline expansion pack and make my way up to Sephrim rank (or to Demonic Overlord depending on which ver I get.) They promiss a recarination package you can get for Life adds more replay value but it's the same old same old. You would think being a horse would be fun but NO, I just had to be turned into gule...DIDN'T I?

You really should. It's got a pretty good story and good gameplay. It's not exactly the longest game, nor is it the greatest game ever. It's definitely a good sleeper hit of sorts, though. (At least, besides the t-shirt offer, I don't remember it being all that popular when it was new.)

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

Heh, I forgot to add the part in there about finding it pretty cheap($7) used with the price tag labeled: "(Star Wars)Super Empire Strikes Back."

The clerk at Gamestop didn't even notice that the game was Illusion of Gaia, and I got it for the labeled price.

Hell, he probably never played either knowing those Gamestop workers. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

I guess the t-shirt offer was to get people to buy the game, a really lame idea to pack in a XXXL shirt though with the same logo as the box. the only other t-shirt I ever got with a game was Tekken 3(screenprint of Jin).
