The Gamer Life
There are many ways to tell that you play to many video games. My favorite ways are those that manifest in how we perceive reality. And by that I mean, wishing that or thinking of things in real life that would be more awesome if it were in a video game.
Example from work. I work as a customer service rep (seasonal position) for Enstrom’s Candies. We happen to ship exclusively through FedEx, which is an interesting story if you have a love for the world of shipping, so naturally we get a lot of their trucks coming and going. However, the occasional UPS truck shows up, and here is where the game world intervenes…
You see, we had a bit of a falling out with UPS. Thus I sometimes imagine that rather than delivering packages to us one day an armed riot squad will leap out in order to lay siege to us for our impudence at rejecting their services. This is probably a result of too many hours of playing F.E.A.R. where your average jaunt through a parking garage would likely be interrupted 15 times by trucks full of people intent on ruining your day.
Of course, all of this probably related back to the image I posted about how after enough driving games everything in life becomes a bit of a race.
