Ten reasons why computer games are better than real life



------------------------------------------------------------------------


1: In games I can always reload and try again. 
   In real life I can only apologise.

2: Playing a game can look just like working (depending on whether my
   boss can see my screen).

3: If somebody disses me in a game, I can wreak havoc on their butt. 
   In real life, I'd probably run away.

4: If I don't like a game, I can play another one. 
   In real life my wife objects to this philosophy.

5: Games have manuals.

6: Computer games justify my need for a faster PC. 
   In real life, nobody types fast enough to require 1.7 GHz.

7: In a computer game, I can beat Tiger Woods. 
   In real life I need to carry spare balls.

8: If a game is too hard, I can turn down the difficulty setting or
   enter cheat codes.

9: If I am overly stressed or running out of time in a game, I can hit
   the pause button.

10: At the end of a good game, I know there will probably be a sequel.
