The worst thing in the world is to sit down for a couple of hours, play a few computer games and then go outside…into the real world, we’ve all done it and experienced problems!
So you’ve sat there playing Grand Theft Auto Vice City for a few hours, but then you go out and start smacking people in the head trying to steal money from them. Whilst this may seem a good idea on a game, in real life someone that’s 6ft 4” will hit you back…and hard, whilst a granny may pop a good, but lucky, kick to your mummy daddy button! Obviously this isn’t going to plan just yet, but if you run out into the road, a car will stop and you’ll be able to chuck the driver out and steal their car. Not so…what’ll happen is you will run out in the middle of the road and the car won’t stop. It’ll smack you square in the legs and break them both. An Ambulance will then be called where you will be rushed to your local hospital. There will have to be some surgery undertaken to try and save your legs and enable you to walk properly again. The operation was a success but when you awake there are two coppers standing by your bedside…yep, they’ve caught up with you as they know your game, and the grannies who’s electric disability buggy you stepped out in front of and got hit by (that’s right you weren’t even brave enough to attempt stealing a real car!) reported you to the police, and you do time!
However you’ve thought of all of this before you go and start playing GTA Vice City and so you decide to have a little go of The Simpsons Road Rage, followed by WipeOut Fusion and then a dashing of Midnight Club in a mass 6 hours gaming spree. You started after lunch and it’s now approaching 7pm and your starting to feel a bit peckish. You check your wallet and realise you’ve got enough cash for a Big Mac meal…in fact you’ve got enough money to go large!! So you jump in your car, and start your journey to the nearest Maccie D’s. However this is now ordinary driving experience and you start driving at 82mph in a 40mph zone, overtaking the cars in front of you and narrowly missing the cars coming the opposite way. You furiously start pressing the back of the steering wheel with your middle fingers expecting it to react like L1 and R1 do, but when they respond to slowly you have to take the corner into the next street at 50mph, whilst leaning in the same direction (we all do it!), before ‘flying’ up the bum of the car in front…which happens to be a police car! They signal you to pull over, which you do, before they start exclaiming they you’ve made their job a whole lot easier. You see, they’ve just had a call through on their CB radio saying that there’s someone speeding around the streets doing way more than the speed limit, and risking their life. “I wasn’t driving dangerously guv” you exclaim, but whilst you think your journey had so far been clean and you hadn’t hit anything, you’ve actually left a mass of damaged cars and lampposts behind you. The police take you down the station and you end up doing time!
Ahhh……ha, BUT, you’ve already thought of this as well and so have decided against it especially as your car has recently had a wax and polish. So you look at your games collection for something harmless…something that you could still go out into reality after playing and be a normal civilised person, without your brain still thinking your on a computer game! What could be less stressful than a nice game of Championship Manager. No time limits, no special weapons to pick up, no risk of dangerous driving, just pure relaxation. You decide to play Man Utd…and why not, they’re one of the richest clubs in the game and have got a great squad. You start of slowly in your league campaign, but begin well in Europe, even though you have made very few signings. Christmas passes and you find yourself near the top of the league and in the Worthington Cup Final. Your next match has surprisingly come up as Man Utd V’s Arsenal in the FA cup 5th round. You set your formation to what you think would be strategically the best attacking formation, and you click on Start Match followed by Restart Match at half time. The final score, you stuffed Arsenal 3-0. A hat trick in what has been classed as the best performance in his life, from Beckham of all people secured the win for you. It’s time for work anyway and you decide so you save the game and head off. You have no problems at all heading towards Old Trafford (See where I’m going!!), where you arrive in time before giving your team talk to the boys just before THEY kick off against Arsenal in the FA cup 5th Round. 90minutes later and you’ve been done 2-0 by Wengers boys…
“It’s all your bleeding fault Beckham, you scored a flaming hat-trick earlier on today, yet this afternoon you were crap, absolutely crap”
Then a flying boot clocks Beckham in the head, leaving him with a cut that requires two stitches…before you get dragged out of the dressing room to stop any further aggravation in Beckhams direction. The police arrive, questioning your actions, but as Beckham doesn’t want to press charges there is nothing they can do. But the Man Utd board aren’t happy and they make you do time…by making you live for a week in a shared flat with Luke Chadwick and Phil Neville!
The moral of the story kids…remember Computer Games are just that…games!
