If RL Was A Game

So I was recently reminded of the news story about some kid who uses what he learned from playing World of Warcraft in order to save his sister and himself from a moose attack. After reading, I naturally wondered what would happen if real life took on gaming properties. This is what I have concluded:
  • Everyone will have an athletic build and walk around in bitching outfits
  • Acquiring and wearing body armor automatically makes everyone target your armor first--no cheating and aiming for the head until the armor is gone!
  • Carrying around health packs/first aid kits is generally a good idea because they can be used to treat anything--it doesn't matter if you just suffered multiple paper cuts or multiple gunshot wounds . . . you WILL be good as new
  • If you take out someone, their friends will start a man-hunt for you, but then ADD will kick in and they'll go back to doing whatever it is they were doing--never mind the fact that their friend is unconscious/bleeding/dying/dead
  • It is possible for farmers to be growing crops of gold
  • Physicists have already invented a way to access an alternate dimension and have given said technology to almost everything that can be killed/looted; just go kill a small rat and loot it--that Barrett M107 you just procured is irrefutable proof that there is an alternate dimension out there
  • Everyone will be an expert in all sorts of weaponry . . . pistols, SMGs, rifles, swords, crossbows, you name it
  • Giant complexes/mansions will be raided daily for the phat lewtz that lie within
  • Mushrooms will be the new steroids--making everyone bigger, faster, and stronger
  • Earth will become a war zone--aliens, zombies, vampires, Nazis, werewolves, cultists, and even enraged/crazed animals will turn Earth into a battlefield . . . apparently, everything and their grandmothers wants us wiped out of existence
  • Princesses are a dime a dozen and most of them will probably need rescuing
  • Any hard encounter (finals, sports games, dealing with the mother-in-law, etc.) will always turn out to be an epic multi-phase affair
  • Traffic signals/signs will be ignored 100% of the time
  • An ice cream truck that can transform into a robot is something to run away from (despite how delicious ice cream is and how cool robots are)
  • A lvl 70 can pwn a lvl 20 in the face--not like now where a 70 year old will get pwnd in the face by a 20 year old
  • The cake is a lie
What a twisted, crazy, yet strangely enticing world that would be . . .

Oh, and every single person you come across will always have at least one (and sometimes only one) thing to say to you.
And no one will flinch when you walk into their home unannounced and start rifling through their things, taking what you please.

If only the cake weren't a lie, this might be a beautiful world to live in...
