If your life could be a game, what kind of game would it be?
The idea of this thread, is to recast your life as a game, preferably something that syncs up to your personality and important events of life.
Mine would be an RPG. Rather then get a normal job, I would roam the countryside looking for adventures. I'd probably do the Jesus thing, going from town to town, healing people, casting out demons, helping in whatever other way. I'd be very loyal to my companions, and set out to target and destroy the forces of evil. Where I am betrayed intimately by my companions then I walk the path of solitude and sorrow, trusting only when I must. When I am valued by them, then they remain a part of my identity. Some how or other I would wind up hearing of vicious enemy plans and plots that involve deceiving or destroying the whole world. Upon learning the truth as I know it now, I would establish a raiding party of likeminded people and seek out to destroy those humans, institutions, and orders that are evil.
And since life were an Rpg, I would probably barge into peoples homes, open up their chests and dressers in search of any little thing that might help me in my quest. I would probably open drawers of underwater expecting to find bulky weapons and enchanted pieces of armor. On the streets I would walk around talking to everyone, and butting my nose into everything. I would go around looking for monsters and bad guys to fight, hoping to earn money and treasures that way, and asking people to give me "quests" and reward me. I would carry heavy weapons and armor wherever I went, and seek to aquire various super powers, and be lured into silly side quests along the way. I would do everything with a certain sense of distance, like I were my higher self playing me as an expendable character, rather then just myself. My goal would be to save the world and retire a hero. And everything would work out with a sense of poetry and purpose, unlike the all too often cold and witness void we call reality. Instead it would be a world where people have purpose where the good guys always win in the end.
