Gaming Site Reviews.. Real Life?

jbp8 writes: "There's an article on GameSpot reviewing the ultimate MMOG - real life!" The article gives real life an Editor's Choice award, focusing on issues such as leveling up ("Typically, a character will learn of the numerous viable career paths available by undergoing schooling. This can be a long and tedious process, equivalent to the sort of 'level treadmill' monotony that characterizes almost all MMORPGs") and player death ("..a serious issue in real life, and cause for continued debate among players, who often direct unanswerable questions on the subject to the game's developers.")

psychologists officially recognize a mental disorder of "Video Game/Reality dissociation" or something...

I agree with you. I have played a lot of Vice City since I got it last christmas. I just started driving, and sometimes when I see pedestrians walking beside the road, I'll get an urge to run them over, hop out of the car, and pick up their money. :-/ Luckily I have indulged any of these urges yet :)

If I could find one radio station that didn't have a playlist that I could figure out, entirely, after listening for three hours, I could die happy.

Find a local Jazz or Classical station. I don't think you could determine their playlist out in 3 hours, as they always play lots of different pieces.
