I was hitting the heavy bag in the basement and fractured a bone... That game did not desensitize me... It hurt like hell.

Am I the only one who partially plays games to simulate doing things that I cannot or should not do in real life?

When the hell am I ever going to land a 747 at night in the rain in Tokyo?

When am I ever going to steal a car and drive on an elevated subway platform and walk away from the explosion?

When am I ever going to jump off the roof of a building and pull a 180 quick-scope and nail my best friend in the head with a .50?

When am I ever going to respawn after he respawns and gets me back?

When am I ever going to perform a flying knife kill in early Colonial America?

When the hell in my life am I going to look at the number of times I died and still measure it good if I killed more?
