Virtual Insanity

I'd like to believe most people are very visual learners. It may sound insane, but I whole heartily trust that my driving skills are attributed to playing Need for Speed, Daytona USA, and Gran Turismo. Sorry, Mario Kart doesn't make the list, because as far as I can see, there are no magic boxes that'll allow me to speed up, fire weapons, or make traffic ahead of me minuscule.

In the same belief, recently I've learned that if the end of the world comes, and the dead rise to become zombies, the safest place will be in Apt. 242. I know Gigs and myself would be Zombie Killing M'Fers. After watching 28 days later, 28 weeks later, Resident Evil 2 & 3, and shooting an African country's worth in Resident Evil 5, I feel pretty confident I'll be able to mow down hundreds of the blood-suckers. Of course if it was an attractive woman, maybe I'd let her think about it, before I took off her head.

I pose this question: Would you hook up with (fill in your celebrity), if afterwards you became a Zombie?

While we're on the subject, here's what else I've learned from video games:

-I could never be a sniper. Instead of firing one shot, I pretty much go into Rambo mode and shoot as many bullets as possible.
-Even in the virtual world, I am frugal with spending. I could have $75k, and I'm thinking "eh I'll pass on the rocket launcher, there may be something better down the line".
-Apparently all great things in life are hiding in boxes/crates. Some you can break with your head, and others you'll need to find a special key.
-Mushrooms give you super powers, or at least you think so, after you've taken them.
-Grand Theft Auto should just be renamed: "Another day in Columbia Heights, DC"
-According to RockBand, I should probably take over as lead singer for Alice in Chains
-If I ever get shot, I'll just either sit in a corner to heal up or eat some plants.
-Never trust Russians. They are ALWAYS evil. Especially Russian women (personal experience aside).
