"Games vs. Reality"

I was walking home from work the other day, when all of a sudden a group of thugs came out from round a corner and surrounded me. After a bit of grunting and the like, one made a stab at me with a right hook. Remembering the super-realistic gameplay of Tekken, I put up my arm and croutched- an invincible defence from any attack.

Now, in hospital, I am seriously thinking about sueing Namco- whole advertise their games as the most realistic ever!

If any of you would like to share your experiences of realistic gaming gone bad, please do. I need evidence for the court case.

When i was 4, i thought i could backflip like a ninja toys turtle i had! It was broken, just like me....

I once found a turtle.....

...jumped on it imagining Mario 64... erm, lets just say I was a little heavy.

I saw a dragon in a ally once.

I thought about Gauntlet2, and took it on.

I now am covered in plastic bags....

:( Nintendo smell.

Mario's power ups are all wrong...

When I ate a mushroom, I got the distinct feeling I was flying, and everything started flashing funny colours, like Mario flashes when he gets a star...

But I didn't get any bigger...

I wanted to be big so I ate a red mushroom with white spots.

When Mario did this he doubled in size?
Why did I just become horrendously ill?

Being short of money one day, I recalled Zelda, and started ripping up plants looking for gems. Shame the park officer was there at the time...

Having just completed Harry Potter, I too went outside and found my mothers old broomstick. Believing myself able to fly I spent 45 minutes rubbing my crotch on it to no avail.

Needless to say I was arrested to.

But the owl will save me, oh yes it will.

I was playing Daley Thomson's Decathlon, and went I went outside, I believed I could really run as fast as Daley Thomson could if I just wiggled my joystick really fast.

Apart from straining myself, I was later arrested.

I too have a tale of woe. I was playing Gauntlet, having a bit of a retro moment. Anyway, I had to pop to the shops for some milk, and walking down an alley I say a cooked chicken leg on the pavement, by the bins. Obviously I tucked into it, thinking that it would revive my health.

Imagine my dismay when I spend the next two days on the loo, and throwing up into a bucket.

Lol!

You also need muscles that look as big as those "realistic" fighters! :-D
